The glamorous actress looked slim and svelte in the tight-fitting dress, which she accessorised with a pair of diamante-encrusted Roger Vivier shoes.

But it was her cantilevered cleavage which garned the most attention.

She arrived with her playwright husband Andrew Upton, but he was left firmly in the shade by his glamorous wife of ten years.

The Oscar-winning actress gave birth to her third child in Sydney on April 13th, and revealed that having children was 'addictive'.

She said that the couple can't wait to expand their brood,and that becoming a mother has made her a better person and improved her life considerably.

Cate and her playwright husband Andrew Upton added son Ignatius Martin Upton to their family. They already have two sons: Dashiell John, aged six, and Roman Robert, aged four.

'Having kids is very addictive, if you can, if you're able to and it's your choice and you've got a supportive relationship.'

"You realise how much love you're actually capable of. It's like more doors open in your personality that you didn't even realise were there.

'It's a trip, being a parent, a privilege - even though it means you get a lot less sleep', she said.

Cate recently starred alongside Hollywood star Harrison Ford, 69, as a whip-wielding archaeologist in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull directed by Steven Spielberg.

However, she is still keeping one eye on the prize.

She revealed that she is desperate to work with fellow Oscar winner Denzel Washington but is determined to wait until she's offered the perfect script.

The star won an Academy Award for her role in 2001's Monster's Ball at the same ceremony which saw Washington pick up the Best Actor accolade for Training Day.

And Berry is convinced the pair will team up for a film in the future.

She said: "I still want to work with Denzel Washington. I'm hoping that one day the right script will come along and Denzel will give me a call."
