On a brilliant London evening with the sun casting long, golden shadows, television celebrities graced the red carpet as the preamble to Tuesday’s National Television Awards. A constellation of renowned faces adorned the carpet, matched and overshadowed only by the dazzling tapestry of fashion on display.
Among the stars, Alison Hammond, the celebrated This Morning host shone bright. A nominee for the best presenter, she made a breathtaking entrance clad in a full-length sequinned gown that embraced her figure, enhanced by a matching cape of cascading chiffon that rippled in the gentle evening breeze.
Likewise, Holly Willoughby, a fellow presenter, graced the carpet in a lilac strapless ensemble, embellished with a flowing train, an emblematic attire serving as a nod to the legendary charm of old Hollywood.
Strutting amidst these stars was Amy Dowden, the famous dancing stalwart from ‘Strictly Come Dancing.’ Having fought breast cancer bravely through mastectomy and chemotherapy, Amy brought a deeper sense of purpose to the event, accentuated by her breast cancer awareness pin badge that silently yet assertively made a significant statement on the red carpet.
Tom Allen, a well-known presenter and comedian, also claimed his share of attention. Catering to the unusual autumn heatwave, Allen veered from the traditional trouser-clad attire and instead sported a pair of shorts, though he maintained decorum by pairing them with black socks, a decision that was much appreciated.
The arrival of Rob Burrow with his wife Lindsey and their two daughters carried a certain solemnity. His documentary ‘Living with MND’ is nominated for the best authored documentary, and his presence on the red carpet prefaced a moment of respectful anticipation.
Reality TV star, Maura Higgins also had heads turning. She chose an audacious, black cropped top and complimented it with a matching full-length skirt featuring a bodice made up of elegant threads of pearls seamlessly cascading from one shoulder.
Fleur East, a singer and presenter known for standing apart from the crowd, lived up to her reputation by donning wide-leg black trousers that were accompanied by braces, long black gloves, and a crisp white shirt, accessorised amply with striking jewellery and crowned by a desert-style hat. Her bold fashion choice only added to the glamour and diversity of the styles displayed on this prestigious evening.
