There was nothing robotic about Evangeline Lilly as she swept onto the red carpet tonight at the Los Angeles premiere of Real Steel.

The stunning actress cut a sexy yet demure figure in a flowing white gown, which was almost split down to her navel.

Evangeline, who plays the character of Bailey Tallet in the robot flick co-starring Hugh Jackman, looked on great form, just five months after giving birth to her first child - a baby boy - with boyfriend Norman Kali.

Looking all white: The 32-year-old actress finished of her plunging gown with a black belt

The former Lost star, 32, did have some hot competition in the form of her co-star, Russian actress Olga Fonda.

Olga put her figure on display in a backless number which lacked much of a front, save for some carefully placed panelling around the bust.

However, despite Fonda's abundant flashing of flesh, it was Lilly who claimed the prized for best dressed with her tasteful design.

Hugh Jackman, who plays Charlie Kenton, looked dapper in a suit shirt as he posed alongside his co-star.

The 42-year-old Australian actor acted up on the red carpet, playing up to his hardman role by raising his fists while posing for the photographers at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

Real Steel, a boxing drama set in the future which sees humanoid robots doing battle.

Asked if the movie is entirely action-orientated, Jackman told Collider.com: 'The way I’ve described it to people is Rocky 1 to 6 or whatever it is.

'Remember Rocky 1, that was like 70/30. If you saw it, there wasn’t that many fights in it. And we’re sort of in the same world here. It’s really character story driven.

'The fights are unbelievable and very not just “Wow, that’s cool” but very engaging and very emotional.

'There’s some fights at the end, I’m guessing there won’t be a dry eye in the house. So there’s really some amazing stuff, but I would say that’s absolutely accurate 70/30.'

Real Steel is released in the U.S. on October 7th and in the UK on October 14th.
