Singing legend Dame Shirley Bassey has teamed up with high street giant Marks & Spencer to front their new Christmas campaign.
The ad, filmed in a spy movie style, features the retailer's existing models, Twiggy, Erin O'Connor, Laura Bailey, Noemie Lenoir and Lizzy Jagger, as undercover agents called on a secret mission.
Their assignment turns out to be to attend an exclusive performance by Bassey at a glamorous Christmas party.
The 90-second film sees the five women called to the top secret event and getting ready for their evening out before making a dramatic entrance.
Bassey, in a scarlet red satin gown then appears on stage, bursting into song as the audience applauds.
The singer has also provided the soundtrack for the ad - a specially reworked version of Pink's Get The Party Started.
Steven Sharp, marketing director for Marks & Spencer said: "We wanted a really glam, gorgeous feel to the TV ad this year and who better to team up with our very stylish famous five than the ultimate British music and style icon, Shirley Bassey.
"It's a real all-singing, all-dancing ad with every element of Christmas you could possible imagine from party dresses to reindeer to champagne."
