Jodie Turner-Smith Sizzles in Leather Gown Amid Controversial Chat Show Moment

Jodie Turner-Smith commanded attention on Monday night, as she led the stars arriving at the Tron: Ares premiere in Los Angeles - in her first outing since it was claimed she was shut down from asking Taylor Swift an inappropriate question

SHOCKING RED CARPET GOWNS AND UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS: JODIE TURNER-SMITH STEALS THE SHOW AT TRON:ARES PREMIERE

Los Angeles, Monday night - The city's most stylish stars came out in full force to celebrate the premiere of Tron:Ares, but it was none other than Jodie Turner-Smith who truly commanded attention on the red carpet. The 39-year-old actress looked stunning as she flaunted her enviable curves in a racy leather gown that left little to the imagination.

But while Jodie's fashion choices were certainly making waves, it was her alleged awkward line of questioning towards pop star Taylor Swift during last week's episode of Graham Norton's chat show that had tongues wagging all night. Insiders claim that Jodie, who was a guest on the show along with Taylor, took things too far when she asked the singer about her baby plans.

The actress, 39, appeared utterly unperturbed by the claims however, as she flaunted her sensational curves in a racy gown and larked about with her co-stars

According to eyewitnesses, Jodie allegedly said, "And what about babies?" - leaving Taylor Swift confused and Graham Norton scrambling to intervene. While it's not clear whether this exchange made it onto the broadcast episode, one Swiftie who was in attendance at the time of filming took to TikTok to share her account of events.

Sammie Nicole claimed that Jodie's question was "inappropriate" and that Taylor thought she was asking if babies were coming to the wedding. "It was so uncomfortable," Sammie wrote. "I mean, come on, Jodie! You can't just ask someone about their personal life like that."

But it seems that Graham Norton wasn't having it - he quickly jumped in to steer the conversation in a different direction and avoid any further awkwardness. As one TikTok user put it, "Good on Graham for immediately not allowing that question to be humoured for even a second!"

Jodie displayed every inch of her enviable figure in the skintight leather number, which featured a flared mermaid skirt and futuristic red stitch detailing

Despite this alleged mishap, Jodie looked like she was on top of the world as she posed for photos alongside her co-stars at the Tron:Ares premiere. The actress, who stars in the film opposite Jared Leto, flashed a hint of skin in her daring leather gown and larked about with her fellow cast members.

Jared, 53, cut a suave figure in his white silk shirt, which he left half-unbuttoned to flash a glimpse of his toned chest. He paired it with tailored high-waisted trousers and shades, adding a pop of colour with red patent leather shoes.

But the real showstoppers were undoubtedly Jodie's co-stars Gillian Anderson and Greta Lee, who both turned heads in their stunning gowns. Gillian looked elegant in an off-the-shoulder little black dress that clung to her svelte frame, while Greta stole the show in a breathtaking silver gown with structural wings flaring out at her tiny waist.

While the plunging neckline, sexy backless design and central zip running all the way down the dress, ensured all eyes were on the Queen & Slim star

The Past Lives star's outfit was made up of a overlay of shimmering sheer lace with a nude bodysuit underneath, showcasing her incredible figure. She paired it with a pair of statement earrings and a bold red lip colour that perfectly complemented the film's futuristic theme.

Meanwhile, fellow Tron:Ares stars Hasan Minhaj and Evan Peters were also in attendance at the premiere, looking dashing in their tailored suits. The duo was joined by musician Trent Reznor and his collaborator Atticus Ross, who have written, produced and performed the film's soundtrack.

And making a special appearance at the event was acting legend Jeff Bridges, who is reprising his role as Kevin Flynn in the enduring Disney sci-fi series. "I'm really anxious to work with Jared," Jeff said of his co-star earlier this year. "I've admired his work."

She was soon joined by her co-star Jared Leto, with the pair cosying up together on the red carpet and laughing as they posed for photos

The Tron:Ares premiere comes on the heels of a busy week for Jodie Turner-Smith, who has been making headlines with her alleged awkward question towards Taylor Swift. But it seems that the actress is taking it all in stride - and judging by her stunning red carpet look, she's definitely not letting any drama get her down.

Tron:Ares will be released in the US on October 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting the film's futuristic take on artificial intelligence. With Jodie Turner-Smith and Jared Leto at the helm, this sci-fi epic is sure to be one of the most talked-about films of the season.

As for Graham Norton's quick thinking during last week's episode of his chat show? Well, let's just say that he's definitely earned our respect - and maybe even a few extra brownie points from Taylor Swift herself.
