It seems like Australian star Sophie Monk is feeling the heat in Los Angeles. 

The vivacious blonde let her legs do the talking in a slinky black dress at Bethesda E3 press conference held at the city's famed Dolby Theatre on Sunday.

The gazelle-like model and presenter, 35, teased onlookers with a flash of her toned pins as she stepped out in a jet black summer dress with a daring, high split.

Striking a pose at the gaming press conference, the blonde bombshell looked tanned and toned in the simple floor-length gown that clung to her womanly assets.

Featuring a cowl-neck detailing, the scoop neck dress hugged her trim torso and she added extra inches in a pair of black and gold stilettos with intricate detailing. 

The Australian-born radio star pouted and preened in front of the photo wall while the flash bulbs popped capturing her feline features. 

She wore her cropped blonde locks in a sweeping side part as she batted her lashes at the cameras.

Her flawless skin had an all-over-glow and her cheek bones highlighted by a sweep of bronzer, while her enigmatic eyes were ringed in liner – making her blue eyes pop. 

On Wednesday, Sophie revealed her fake tanning prep ahead of the event. 

Showing off her washboard abs and toned torso she slipped into a lacy strapless bra and a pair of slinky briefs for an Instagram snap, before revealing, 'If you can't tone it, slap some damn tan on it.' 

Meanwhile, the risque upload came just a day after she fuelled romance rumours when she shared a photograph of her hanging out with Russell Simmons, 57, after the duo were previously linked.

The pair first sparked speculation they have a soft spot for one another when they were spotted at a Maxim Hot 100 Party in Los Angeles in 2010 and they gushed about one another online afterwards.

Sophie and Simmons became close after he produced her reality TV show Bigger Than Paris.

The pillowy-lipped blonde has been over in Los Angeles for a few weeks catching up with friends and enjoying the all-year-round sunshine.
