Former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne bared some skin in a red backless dress

The stars were out in force for the British Fashion Awards 2023 held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday evening.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Abbey Clancy, Amanda Holden and Ashley Roberts led the arrivals to the rainy red carpet, with Leigh-Anne baring some skin in a red backless dress.

Blonde beauty Abbey, 37, showed off her physique in a black lace number which highlighted her toned abs, while Amanda, 52, opted for a mini number with a dramatic train as she posed with her daughter Lexi, 17.

Radio presenter Ashley, 42, wore a leggy green gown which had a plunging neckline and boosted her height with black strappy heels.  

Elsewhere model Sara Sampaio, 32, commanded attention in a tired white dress which she wore with glamorous black gloves.
