Blonde bombshell! Yvonne Strahovski takes the plunge in daringly low-cut swimsuit as she shows off superfit physique in beach-side photo shoot

But the hard yards appear to have paid off for Australian actress Yvonne Strahovski who stuns in a photo shoot for the January issue of GQ magazine.
The 32-year-old beauty takes the plunge as she strips down to a daring one piece swimsuit that leaves little to the imagination in one of the shots.

Super svelte: Yvonne Strahovski sizzles in a photo shoot for the January issue of GQ magazine
Propping herself up against a weather-beaten wall, the blonde bombshell tenses her taut tummy and arms to hold herself suspended in the air.
She points her stiletto clad feet as she gazes slightly over the camera with a look of steady determination.

Yvonne's long locks are slicked back into a sleek, wet-look style and her makeup is left dewy and understated.
Another image sees the statuesque stunner change into a black bikini top with a zip running up the centre and matching pair of bottoms.
She completes the look with an unbuttoned blazer rolled up at the sleeves.

The Sydney-born Dexter star revealed in her accompanying interview with the publication that she was advised to swap her mouthful of a surname for something that rolls off the tongue more easily upon arriving in LA nearly a decade ago.
It was suggested that she change her name from Strzechowski to Stryker, but Yvonne wasn't having any of it.
'Look, at the end of the day it was my call, and I understood the reasoning behind it – the spelling of my name is a mouthful of letters.
'So I have the same last name – but now it's spelled phonetically, so people know how to pronounce it,' she explained.
The uncommon surname is Polish, after the beauty's parents moved from Europe to Western Sydney before she was born.

Yvonne moved to Hollywood as a virtual unknown eight years ago, and almost immediately landed the role of Sarah Walker on comedy-drama series Chuck.
She's also had roles in The Guilt Trip alongside Barbara Streisand and Seth Rogen, and I, Frankenstein.
She was one name on a list of over 100 celebrities - including Jennifer Lawrence - that were said to have their private nude photos leaked online last year.
And although she publicly said the images claimed to be of her are 'fake', she's still not afraid to slam the culprits behind it.
'It's disappointing and it's frightening, I think,' she told the Daily Mail Australia in September last year. We live in a society where nothing is sacred.
'It's sad that people will invade someone's privacy - and this is not only regarding someone's private photos - but this goes deep into people's financial privacy, their passwords, their emails, their text messages.
In the pictures the hackers claim are of the blonde, her face is never shown - leading many to believe Yvonne's assertion that the images are fake.
