As the newest member to the Anchorman 2 cast, Meagan Good could easily have fallen into the shadow of Will Ferrel and his news team comrades.

But the actress made sure her presence was felt at the London premiere of the comedy sequel, wearing a very revealing, plunging gown on the red carpet.

Not only did Meagan, 32, accentuate her cleavage but also showed a little leg through the thigh-high slit on her golden gown. Anchor-who? Meagan Good outshines her Anchorman 2 co-stars in a revealing golden gown at the movie's London premiere

The TV and film star wore a rick red lipstick and a flick of black eyeliner to complete and pulled her dark hair up into a dramatic quiff to complete her screen siren look at the premiere, in association with Jameson.

The grin didn't seem to want to leave Meagan's face, as she joined her moment in the spotlight in London on Wednesday night, as she no doubt knows her star will grow brighter in Hollywood, now that she landed a covetable role in the most anticipated comedy of the year.

The American actress has a long history on the small and silver screen, but most recently landed the lead role in NBC's Deception, as Joanna Locasto, an undercover detective who returns to the wealthy family home she grew up in as the maid's daughter, to solve the murder of the heiress who was once her closest friend.

Her last big screen role was in 2012's Think Like A Man, with Gabrielle Union, Kevin Hart and Michael Ealy, but now she stars as Linda Jackson in Anchorman 2.

Linda is Ron Burgundy’s boss and also one of the first black women to be the head of a news station in 1980s New York.

Of course, after his reaction to Veronica Corningstone's reading of the news in the first Anchorman movie, no doubt Ron finds the gender balance disconcerting, but it soon leads to love between them.

Speaking to Complex Magazine, Meagan said about her character and Will's romance: 'Initially, I just think he’s an idiot; I don’t care for him, they’re at odds with each other. During the duration of the film, she realizes that she’s finally met her equal in this crazy, silly guy.

'That is kind of the turning point where she starts to go, “This is the one who will stand up to me, and will tell me what he thinks, and will do all the intimidating things I tell him to do—maybe there’s something there.” '

But Good isn't the only new female love interest to join the news team in their breaking storylines.

Kristen Wiig has made a name for herself as a celebrated comedy actress, having honed her craft at Saturday Night Live, before co-writing and starring in the critically-acclaimed Bridesmaids.

Now she will star as Chani, the only woman who could possibly match Brick Tamland's brand of crazy, and fall in love with it.
