Dressed in a slinky black dress split to thigh, she is light years away from the intergalactic adventures which will soon make her a household name.
The stunning picture shows that Karen Gillian – Doctor Who’s latest companion – is unlikely to fade into the background when she takes her place in the Tardis in the hit BBC series next year.
Karen is already a successful model and will bring glamour to the role recently occupied by comedienne Catherine Tate.
With a string of catwalk credits, as well as appearances in high-profile fashion shoots, the 21-year-old has modelled for designers Allegra Hicks and House of Boing since leaving London’s prestigious Italia Conti stage school in 2005.
The redhead from Inverness will team up with new time lord Matt Smith, 26, who replacces outgoing star David Tennant.
Last night, Karen’s father John, said: ‘We’re delighted for her – she has worked very hard for this.’

Clothes Show London stepped it up another fashion notch with British supermodel Erin O’Connor and make-over queen Nicky Hambleton Jones not just making an appearance, but actually presenting.
Erin leads the charge this weekend in bringing the Clothes Show back to the Capital with a bang; and without due cause – she was spotted by a Models 1 scout on a school trip to Clothes Show Live in 1995. (I bet that scout’s rubbing their hands with glee). Working a number of Spring/Summer ‘09 trends, we caught Erin looking pretty in a ruffle blouse surrounded by studs. But don’t be silly, London’s fashion darling wouldn’t be caught dead surrounded by semi-naked men (she left that to Katie Price). The only studs Erin was seduced by were those on those on her edgy bang on-trend waistbelt.
Luckily for us, top stylist Nicky Hambleton Jones, pictured here looking marvellously like Kate Moss at the Met in all her metallic splendour (she wisely forgot the turban), will be giving her unique opinions and insight across the weekend. According to the Clothes Show fact file, Nicky believes that everyone has the potential to look fantastic – there’s hope for me yet then.
And another thing to look out for: Being a well known specs wearer, Nicky wants women everywhere to be braver with their eyewear and is set to launch her own frame range next month. Watch this space! Or if you can’t wait, why not click here to check out our Spotted in Specs feature?
