Pom Klementieff and Hayley Atwell stun in chic black dresses as they join Tom Cruise for Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning premiere in Korea
Co-stars Pom Klementieff and Hayley Atwell commanded attention in sexy black ensembles as they stepped out at the Korea premiere of their new movie Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning.
Pom, 39, went for a risqué look, with a black, pinstripe ensemble weaving around her neck but leaving much of her chest exposed, as she pouted and posed in Seoul.
The backless outfit included an elegant train which draped onto the carpet, drawing attention to pointed, metallic heels.
The French actress, who has portrayed assassin Mantis in the action films since 2017, kept things classic with silver earrings and simple makeup as she cast a smouldering glance, with her short ice-blonde tresses slicked back into curled edges, providing a striking contrast to the dark outfit.
British actress Hayley was spotted beaming as she modelled a figure-hugging v-necked black dress over a dazzling, bejewelled undergarment.
Hayley, 43, who reprises her role as former-thief-turned-IMF-agent Grace, completed the ensemble with a trio of silver hoops on each ear, with her dark tresses pulled back into a sleek style.
Tom Cruise, 62, was all smiles in an all-black suit with oversized shades as he formed a heart with his hands, joining his co-stars to promote the highly-anticipated eight film in the Mission Impossible franchise.
It marked Tom's twelfth visit to the country for a movie, with his first visit in 1994 with Interview with the Vampire.
He gushed: 'Movies are my dream, and coming to Korea is the same.
'It was my dream to come to Korea a long time ago. I can't believe it's already the 12th time I've achieved it. I wonder if it's real.
'It also means that the movie life has been that long. I'm proud to share this work with Korean fans once again, which is a dream and a whole goal of life.'
Reprising his role as the titular hero Ethan Hunt, Tom takes on his biggest mission yet, after a tense cliffhanger saw the spy determined to track down cyber weapon The Entity and learning that his team was betrayed and his 'secrets compromised.'
The film, which has faced multiple delays, is finally due to hit cinemas on May 23 2025.
On Tuesday, the Marvel stars attended the movie's premiere in Tokyo, alongside actors Simon Pegg, Greg Tarzan Davis and Christopher McQuarrie.
Pom turned heads in a racy clear plastic midi dress, as she ditched her underwear under the ensemble which boasted a panelled red top and skirt at the front and back.
On Saturday, Tom was joined by his rumoured new girlfriend Ana de Armas, whose love affair was confirmed in a DailyMail+ exclusiv e, for David Beckham's star-studded 50th birthday bash, with the star later spotted in a background of a snap shared from the party on Instagram.
While Tom had seemingly arrived on his own at the swanky celebrations at Notting Hill's Core restaurant on Saturday, hours later the façade dropped as he was spotted leaving in a car with the actress.
The couple made an effort to hide their relationship as they left the venue in the early hours shielded by umbrellas, before ducking behind the seats as they sat together in the back of the vehicle.
While they were trying to conceal their appearance together, bleary-eyed Tom appeared to find the whole thing quite amusing as he was spotted laughing and smiling as their sneaky moment was caught on camera.
Ana, who was wearing an elegant strappy black dress, meanwhile kept her head down as she avoided being photographed with Tom, following their best efforts to keep their joint attendance quiet.
Earlier in the evening, Tom made a low-key arrival at the celebration, following a series of reports that his girlfriend was also invited to the star-studded event.
Tom appeared to enter the venue solo, spotted sitting in the back of a black cab as he pulled up to the exclusive spot.

Danny Boyle: Slumdog Millionaire was cultural appropriation
Danny Boyle has said his hit film Slumdog Millionaire was cultural appropriation. The British director, who also made the films Trainspotting and 127 Hours, said that he was proud of Slumdog Millionaire, but that 'you wouldn't even contemplate doing something like that today'. The 2008 Oscar-winning movie, which Boyle directed, follows the story of a boy from the slums of Mumbai who is one question away from winning the Hindi version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, before being arrested on suspicion of cheating. It was shot in Mumbai, partly in Hindi, and used a local crew, but the award-winning director said he couldn't make it today. He would instead be 'looking for a young Indian filmmaker' to direct the picture, because his directing of the film was 'cultural appropriation'. He told The Guardian on his press tour for the horror film 28 Years Later: 'That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times, but at other times it cannot be. It wouldn't even get financed. 'We wouldn't be able to make that now. And that's how it should be. It's time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've left on the world.' He said it was a 'flawed method' because it was filmed by 'outsiders'. 'At the time it felt radical. We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. 'We'd work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you're still an outsider. It's still a flawed method. Even if I was involved, I'd be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it.' The film premiered at the 2008 Telluride Film Festival and won eight Oscars at the 2009 Academy Awards, including those for best picture and best director, as well as several BAFTA awards and Golden Globes. It was also a box office hit, making $378 million worldwide on a reported $15 million budget. Speaking about his directorial choices in the interview, Boyle explained: 'I value the popular audience. I believe in popular entertainment. 'I want to push the boat out, but take the popular audience with me.' Elsewhere, he discussed his direction of Isles of Wonder, the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics that featured Daniel Craig as James Bond and the late Queen Elizabeth II. The film, which was a celebration of British culture, also featured the National Health Service, Shakespeare, the Sex Pistols and Windrush migrants. However, Boyle said his 'biggest regret' was not featuring the BBC in it more, saying if he were to do it again he would 'big up' the 'precious' national broadcaster. He said: 'My biggest regret was that we didn't feature the BBC more. I was stopped from doing it because it was the host broadcaster. 'Every other objection, I told them to go f--- themselves. But that one I accepted and I regret that now, especially given the way that technology is moving. 'The idea that we have a broadcaster that is part of our national identity, but is also trusted around the world and that can't be bought, can't be subsumed into Meta or whatever, feels really precious. 'So yeah, if I was doing it again I'd big up the BBC big time. Everything else I'd do exactly the same.'

What in the World K-pop gets its first gay male idol
The K-pop industry is known for being super strict and encouraging idols not to share details about their private lives, especially their relationships. For LGBTQ idols, there's an added layer of pressure, where they can't reveal or talk about their sexuality at all, due to the stigma associated with homosexuality in South Korea. The country is deeply divided over LGBTQ acceptance. So what happens if you do mention your sexuality as a K-pop idol? BBC Korean's Juna Moon has been talking to Bain from the boyband JUST B, who came out as gay on stage during a show in Los Angeles earlier this year. We hear some of her interview with Bain, who talks about his fans' reactions. And Juna explains why it's so unusual for K-pop idols to disclose their sexual identity.
