She's already appeared on the cover of two other magazines this month so it was only a matter of time before she did a third.

Kate Beckinsale looks sensational on the front of the January 2012 issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia which is on sale at the beginning on next month.

Draped in designer clothes, the shoot is grown up and sophisticated as the 38-year-old actress shows off her natural beauty.

Wearing a dress from the Spring/Summer 2012 Ralph Lauren collection, Kate looks flawless on the cover of the monthly magazine.
With her brunette hair tied back in a loose style, the mother-of-one can be seen clutching at the pale blue dress as she stares into the camera.
In another image, photographer John Russo shoots the actress in a white Grecian-style dress that drapes the floor.

Just gazing: The Underworld star looked glowing as she stared out of a window for one of the shots

The full photo shoot can be seen in the January 2012 issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia on sale January 1

Beckinsale is stood by a fireplace filled with candles that is overlooked by a large mirror on the wall.

Rather than look at the camera, in another shot she can be seen gazing at the floor.

Another image sees her posing on a sofa in front of several vases filled with flowers.

In this photograph, Beckinsale wears a green pink and white strapless gown that ties at the side of her chest in a large knot.

The Underworld star obviously oozes confidence in front of the camera and recently revealed that she would consider going naked in a future film.

'I'm not averse to doing a nude scene, but it would have to be something I felt I could really argue in front of my daughter, and so far that hasn't happened,' she told Redbook magazine.

Beckinsale currently has two films in post-production: Underworld: Awakening and Total Recall.

Both movies are directed by her husband Len Wiseman whom she married back in 2004.

The full feature is in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia, on sale on January 2.
