Lucy Davis ditches the size zero look to flaunt her new curves

It looks as if Lucy Davis has got her curves back after dropping several dress sizes under the glare of critical Tinseltown eyes.

The actress, who played dumpy Dawn in the television show The Office, appears to have turned her back on the LA look she perfected after moving to Hollywood in 2005.

Now and then: Lucy Davis revealed the return of her curves at the Bafta/LA Cunard Britannia Awards last night, left, two years after she appeared at the same event with a dramatically slimmed down LA look

Gone are the blonde locks and skeletal frame that caused such concern when she set up home in America.

Brunette Lucy, 34, stepped out at the 16th annual Bafta/LA Cunard Britannia Awards wearing a tight fitting dress that showed off her new fuller figure.

She was certainly in good company - fellow British actresses Helen Mirren and Kate Winslet also added a touch of voluptuous glamour to the affair.

Lucy, the daughter of comedian Jasper Carrott, sparked a debate about the pressures of Hollywood after losing three stone soon after the move.

There was concern that the weight-obsessed film industry was unduly influencing her - especially when she appeared at the 2005 Bafta Awards looking a shadow of her former self.

Before: Lucy Davis as Dawn in the hit TV show The Office

At the time the actress admitted her weight had dropped to less than seven-and-a-half stone, but insisted: "I like being slimmer. I feel much more in control of myself.

"I've had my career as an incentive for years and one day it just clicked and happened."

However, the actress seemed happy to show off her new look and appeared to be content with her life with husband Owain Yeoman.

She married the Welsh actor, who starred in the movie Troy alongside Brad Pitt, in 2006.
