It's more than three decades since she burst onto the big screen as Dudley Moore's love interest in the comedy classic 10.
But Bo Derek can still set pulses racing with her blonde California good looks, fine features and high cheekbones.
Thirty-one years ago she became an instant sex symbol when the now-iconic image of the lithe actress, clad in a gold high cut swimsuit, her hair in beaded braids, running along the beach became many a teenage boy's pin-up of choice.
Now she's 54 - but she still has an appearance most women would envy.
Still sexy: Bo Derek cut a fine figure at the second annual Moet and Chandon celebrity auction Tuesday night in Madrid, Spain
The actress was hosting the 2nd annual Moet and Chandon charity auction at the Casino De Madrid in Madrid, Spain Tuesday night, and she was looking beautiful.
Derek wore a stylish ensemble of graduated grey silk skirt with a black chiffon see-through blouse over a black camisole top.
Her honey blonde hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail and she finished her elegant look off with some simple jewellery pieces and a stylish pair of peep toe brown suede heels.
Derek helped auction off bottles of bubbly signed by celebrities including herself, Brad Pitt, Quentin Tarantino and Naomi Watts.
Derek claims that she shuns plastic surgery, because she is happy to age gracefully.

But she says she sometimes considers anti-ageing procedures if she sees photographs of herself looking 'scary'.
However, she simply reminds herself that Botox and plastic surgery can often change a person's facial expression for the worse.
She says: 'When you look at women who have had plastic surgery, they have lost something - usually an expression, something unique to their faces.
'They start to look the same. I've always admired the women who didn't do it, so I have to keep reminding myself I'm one of them and not the other.
'When I look at some photographs of myself, I think, "Oh, I look alright. " But, in others, I scare myself; I wish I had my old skin.'
The former model's career in acting started when she auditioned for the legendary director, John Derek.

The director, who was 30 years her senior was so taken with the beautiful blonde that he divorced his wife, Dynasty star, Linda Evans to start an affair with her.
The controversial couple had to move to Germany for two years to avoid John being charged with statutory rape as Bo was only sixteen at the time.
They moved back to the U.S. shortly after her eighteenth birthday and married soon after.

Despite the huge disparity in years and Bo's young age they remained married right up until John's death from cardiovascular disease in 1998.
John was a dashing romantic whom she 'adored until he drew his last breath,' she told the Mail On Sunday in an interview shortly after his death. 'Most people fall in love, but they don't have love in return, and I had it for 25 years.'
'Bo was a zombie girl,' Sean Derek, John's daughter with Pati Behrs, the first of his three previous wives (Ursula Andress and Linda Evans were 2 and 3) said of her step-mother at the time.
And Evans, who actually formed a strong friendship with Bo despite usurped by the younger actress, said: 'John's death was wrenching for Bo. Yet she had a lot of grace in handling it. She's made of wonderful stuff.'
Bo struggled to get over the loss of her husband and threw herself into work and indulged her love of horses - she owns Andalusian horses and is a spokesperson for the Animal Welfare Institute's campaign to end horse slaughter.
She vowed off dating again and remained single for four years before meeting her current boyfriend, My Greek Fat Wedding and Sex and the City actor, John Corbett.
Proving she definitely doesn't go for a type, Bo went from marrying a man thirty years older to dating a man younger than herself.
Corbett talked about their age difference during an appearance on the Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson and said that he's bemused by people's misconception that he's dating a much older woman, when in reality he is actually only four-and-a-half years her junior.
The 49-year-old actor has never been married and has stated on several occasions in the past that he does not see himself ever marrying or having children.
However, it seems the West Virginian has changed his tune of late.

During an appearance on Live With Regis and Kelly back in June he confessed that he and Derek were planning to tie the knot in the 'not too distant future.'
While talking about his love life co-host Kelly Ripa asked the actor if he and Bo ever considered 'complicating [their relationship] with marriage.'
'We were actually talking about that last night,' Corbett responded. 'We went to a party and we were talking about maybe doing it one day. First time we've talked about it in eight years!'
He also noted that his girlfriend was 'married to the great John Derek for 30 years. A lot of women, that's high on their list - to be married.
'I've never been married. We're not having kids. I think it's important to do if you're going to have kids.'
However, he continued: 'Why not? Yeah, we'll do that one day. For sure. In the not-too-distant future.'
Happy again: After swearing off dating following the death of her husband, John in 1998, Bo found happiness once again after meeting John Corbett in 2002
Corbett shared the not so romantic circumstances surrounding him and Bo meeting for the first time.
He spilt all the details to George Lopez on his chat show back in April - and it reads as the ultimate Hollywood story.
'My buddy is this great guy… [agent] Norby Walters…he puts this big Oscar party on [Night of 100 Stars]…this was eight years ago, and he said "Come to the party?" and I said "You know, I’m not really dating anyone right now," and he said, "I’ll fix you up on a date."' Corbett explained.
'So he slips this thing under my door with 20 really famous ladies on it. But one name that jumped out at me. I put a one and a circle around it, and I stuck it back under his door and he called me up and said, "One name, you give me one name?"
'And that name was Bo Derek, and we’ve been together eight years.'
Who says romance is dead?
