Carol Vorderman brings the glamour at Pride of Britain Awards

Carol Vorderman was the picture of elegance as she stepped out in a ruffled black dress at the Pride of Britain Awards.

The TV star, who was hosting the ceremony, looked younger than her 57 years as she walked the red carpet in the long, delicate dress, with her hair in waves around her face.

The high-necked dress left Vorderman’s arms bare despite the chill, and fell in layers to her feet.

Holly Willoughby also turned heads in a long, princess-style gown.

The stylish star posted a clip on Instagram showing her twirling around in the floaty white number.

“One of my favourite nights of the year,” she said.

Susanna Reid dazzled in a plunging silk dress, which had a peach-coloured skirt and a jewelled bodice.

She wore her hair up, completing the look with subtle make-up.

Several of the stars of Strictly Come Dancing were on the carpet, with Janette Manrara standing out in form-fitting teal and Kate Silverton keeping it simple in elegant black.

Una Healy looked stunning in an embroidered black dress with a deep plunge, and her hair swept back off her face.

Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda also attended, with the singer smart in a tux and Ayda showing off her svelte figure in a figure-hugging black dress with a burst of red detailing over the shoulders.

The annual ceremony celebrates British people who have acted bravely in challenging situations.
