If you hadn't already started to feel festive then all you need is a glimpse of the Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol red carpet tonight.

The ladies turned out in force with a number of Christmas frocks, dressed head-to-toe in glitz and glamour at the BFI Imax in London

Star of the fourth Mission movie, Paula Patton, outshone the celebrities at the UK premiere as she stepped out in a cream mini dress adorned with embellished jewels.

And she didn't even seem to notice the icy conditions as she fully embraced the festive season.

Paula was joined by a flurry of females all dressing to impress with their own Christmas take, with many opting for seasonal red.

Normally a fashion faux pas at red carpet events, there were all shades of red on actress Gillian Anderson, former pop star Sinitta and model Caprice.

Gillian wore a daring floorlength scarlet frock which bared her cleavage, while she also went for some glitz with her accessories.

The former X-Files star opted for black and silver diamante earrings which matched her large ring.

She also adorned herself with a black clutch bag and cropped black jacket to add to the sophisticated look.

Opposites: While Paula opted for all out festive glamour, her co-star Lea Seydoux opted for a completely black ensemble. Maybe her friend's Christmas spirit will rub off on her!

Catwalk beauty Caprice was also obviously feeling the Christmas spirit as she too went for a crimson number.

Ignoring the cold air, Caprice showed off her ample curves and long legs in a strapless red mini dress, while also going for gold shoes and accessories.

Arriving back to England straight from her stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Sinitta also welcomed the Christmas spirit with the big day approaching fast.

Simon Cowell's ex walked the carpet dressed in skintight red trousers with gold platform heels and a yellow top to brighten the look up even more.

Sinitta also gave herself a lick of red lipstick to fully complete the festive party get-up.

But Christmas clearly wasn't on the top of everyone's lists, as a few of the guests certainly needed some festive spirit injected into their wardrobes.

Star of the film Tom Cruise certainly wasn't feeling in the holiday mood as he dressed in black, with trousers, jumper, shirt and jacket all playing it safe.

Co-star Lea Seydoux also opted for head-to-toe black, but gave a small glimpse of the party season with her gold clutch bag and bracelet.

And guest Jenni Falconer also kept it plain and simple in black skinny trousers and pointy shoes.

Simon Pegg and his wife Maureen McCann also steered clear of the festive theme with their simple ensembles.

The actor looked dapper in a grey suit and black shoes, while Maureen went for a cream longsleeved dress.

They're well on their way to becoming bonafide pop stars following their performance on The X Factor on Saturday night.

And Tulisa's girl group Little Mix certainly looked the part as they arrived at the InStyle magazine's 10th anniversary party in London tonight.

Despite their baby-faced looks, the foursome certainly looked grown-up in their sexy ensembles as they arrived at the Sanctum Soho Hotel.

Essex barmaid Jesy Nelson, 20, showed off her curve in a pair of tight leggings and gold top, while High Wycombe waitress Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 19, went for a Twenties-inspired outfit in a fringed bandeau dress.

South Shields duo Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall, both 18, wore an all-black ensemble and a red dress respectively, with the latter opting for the recent resurgence in wearing stockings.

Following their rendition of En Vogue's on last weekend's 'Movie Week' themed show, Little Mix are now 15/8 odds to win the series.

No rivalry here: Misha B went for a less flamboyant hairstyle than usual, while Amelia Lily wore a pink Topshop dress

They've certainly gone from strength to strength from originally tipped to be an early exit due to the historical lack of success for girl groups on previous X Factors.

And while they're yet to graduate from reality stars to pop stars, one celebrity was already star-struck by the girl band.

Fellow guest Pixie Geldof admitted she was too shy to approach the band.

She tweeted: 'Totally devd! Was too shy to talk to @LittleMixOffic at InStyle party and now they're gone!!!!! #eternalsadface.'

Also at the event were their fellow X Factor finalists Amelia Lily and Misha Bryan.

Manchester-native Misha, 19, was nearly unrecognisable without her signature flamboyant hairstyle as she turned up with a poker-straight bob and fringe.

Hollywood glamour: Actress Gillian Anderson flashed a bit of leg in a white 1970 vintage Christian Dior gown

Meanwhile, Middlesborough student Lily, 17, matched her new long pink hair extensions with a baby pink sequinned Topshop dress.

The film-themed event to mark the 10th anniversary of the UK edition of fashion glossy InStyle showcased specially-commissioned films by designers House of Holland, Diane Von Furstenberg, Christian Louboutin, Paul Smith, Mulberry, Zac Posen and Roberto Cavalli.

Entertainment was provided by T4 presenter Jameela Jamil in the DJ booth, who wore a trademark mini skirt to show off her long legs.

Keeping it low-key: Pixie Geldof, who was too shy to talk to Little Mix, covered up in a double-breast jacket, while Ronnie Wood's ex-girlfriend, Brazilian polo player Ana Araujo wore a tailored jacket and trousers

Floor-length and fabulous: Pop star Diana Vickers looked grown-up in a long black gown, while former X Factor stylist Grace Woodward gave hers a vintage twist

Looking super glam at the bash was actress Gillian Anderson, who looked stunning in a white 1970 vintage Christian Dior gown.
On the other end of the spectrum, black was predictably a dominant colour of choice for many star's outfits.
Diana Vickers wore a long black gown, while former X Factor stylist Grace Woodward gave her quirky floor-length number a vintage twist with her accessories.
