EXCLUSIVE: The Buccaneers Premiere - A Night of Sizzling Style and Scandalous Secrets!

The cream of Hollywood's crop descended upon New York City last night for the highly anticipated premiere of Apple TV+'s sultry period drama, The Buccaneers! And what a night it was! Leighton Meester and Christina Hendricks led the charge, flaunting their stunning looks and sizzling chemistry as they co-star in the second season of this steamy show.

First up, let's talk about those red-hot ladies! Leighton, looking every inch the ravishing beauty at 39, stunned in a plunging white minidress that showcased her incredible cleavage and long legs. The Gossip Girl star's ethereal number boasted rose detailing across the neckline and a striking skirt made up of strings of sheer floating petals - talk about making an entrance!

The two actresses displayed their impeccable fashion sense and showed off their now-matching fiery ginger tresses as they cosied up together for a dazzling snap

Meanwhile, Christina Hendricks, the fabulous 50-year-old Mad Men star, brought her A-game in a figure-hugging gown covered entirely in glittering sequins and mirrored discs. The striking number featured a quirky tie-neck collar that left us all swooning! And can we just say - those curves are simply phenomenal!

But it wasn't just the leading ladies who stole the show (although, let's be real, they were absolutely radiant!). The entire cast of young stars joined in on the fun, and what a sight it was! Imogen Waterhouse, the sister of model Suki Waterhouse, looked edgy in a black satin corset and baggy draped Loewe trousers, teamed with a pair of sheer evening gloves. And don't even get us started on Aubri Ibrag's jaw-dropping figure in that daring black satin gown - almost to her belly button, people!

Now, about those juicy details... In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair this week, Leighton spilled the tea on joining The Buccaneers and her character, Nell. She revealed: "Her advice isn’t necessarily advice I would give. The way she conducts herself or how she enters any given situation—in particular towards the end of the series—isn’t what I would do."

Leighton, 39, - who is joining the Apple TV+ show for its second series - looked positively radiant in a plunging white minidress, that showcased her cleavage and long legs

But here's the thing - we're living for Leighton's candid confession! And can you blame her? As a mom, she knows that motherly love is universal and timeless. She also praised the show's depiction of Jinny's storyline, calling it "one of the most accurate and heartbreaking depictions of abuse I’ve seen."

The Buccaneers follows a group of young daughters of the American nouveau riche as they head to London for debutante season in the hope of finding husbands. And trust us - this show is all about drama, romance, and scandal! So, who's ready to get hooked?
