Jolene Blalock, the Star Trek actress who was previously labelled one of the "world's sexiest women", has left fans gobsmacked in a new snap.

The 48 year old star, who played T'Pol in Star Trek: Enterprise, looks like she's ageing in reverse as she shared the snap on Instagram.

In the photo, Jolene is seen lounging in a Las Vegas casino, dressed in a tight red cocktail dress paired with white socks and Converse trainers.

Her post was simply captioned "#Vegas" and fans were quick to shower her with compliments, reports Daily Star.

One fan gushed: "Vegas just got more interesting then. Love the colours and the whole vibe of you. Nice!"

Another added: "Amazing! Beautiful and the dress with sneakers vibe is hot."

A third chimed in: "How are you younger than when you were in Star Trek? You a real Vulcan?"

A fourth fan wrote: "You're teasing us Jolene, coming to Vegas but not the Trek convention!! Please come sometime I'd love to meet ya!"

Best known for her role as first officer T'Pol in Star Trek: Enterprise, Jolene first appeared on our screens back in 2001 and was featured on every episode of the Star Trek prequel series.

Before hitting screens, she was making waves in the modelling world from the young age of 17, even gracing Maxim's "Girls of Maxim" gallery twice.

Jolene was a sought-after actress and model in the early 2000s

In 2003, she was named the 10th sexiest woman globally by FHM and posed clothed for Playboy in 2002, later participating in Playboy's 20Q section in 2005 during her Star Trek run.

Despite doing several movies since then, including 2008's directly-released video movie Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, none reached sky-high success.

After Starship Troopers, she mainly took up smaller roles, with her last screen appearance in 2017.

During her Star Trek days, she got engaged to Michael Rapino, CEO of Live Nation, an events promoter and venue operator.

Jolene proposed to Michael in 2003 and they now have three sons together.

Away from acting, she devotes most of her time to taking care of their kids - furthermore, they started the Rapino Foundation in 2010, dedicated to supporting developing regions.

She also backs a range of different charities including The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, Barefoot Foundation (Pies Descalzos Foundation), Humane Society International (HSI), the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), and The Clara Lionel Foundation.

Despite her modelling days being over, her cover appearances haven't stopped and as a dog lover has graced the cover of the UK's K9 Magazine.
