Strictly host Emma Willis debuted a new rock chick look as she led the glamorous stars at the annual Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards on Wednesday.
The new host of the BBC dance show, 50, looked incredible as she switched up her look with a long braid and tartan dress.
She added fishnet tights to her toned pins and finished off her ensemble with black chunky boots.
Emma was joined by her husband Matt, who cut a stylish figure in an open black shirt and trousers with a white blazer.
Meanwhile, Kate Lawler caught the eye in a gold bodysuit dress with a see-through, embellished skirt.
The TV star teamed her dazzling dress with gold heels and hoop earrings.

The outing comes after new Strictly hosts Emma, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe failed to deliver the ratings boost BBC bosses had hoped for.
But during last Sunday's episode, it looked like the trio finally found a set-up that works.
Viewers hailed the chemistry between Emma and Johannes as they presented together for the first time last night – and claimed Josh has finally 'found his natural home'.
Ever since the hit BBC dance show returned to the box two weeks ago, Emma, Johannes and Josh have been heavily scrutinised after taking on the roles from Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, trying out different pairings throughout.
But after Sunday night's first elimination show, fans were positive about elements of the presenting set-up.
Emma and Johannes were paired together for the start of the show, where they discussed the dances from Saturday with the judges.

Sharing their thoughts on X, fans penned: 'Emma and Johannes presenting together this is much better it’s not hard.'
Emma then headed downstairs to the dance floor to reveal the votes, where she was replaced by Josh, who joined Johannes to chat with the celebs.
Fans enjoyed seeing Josh upstairs as they claimed he appeared less nervous.
They said: 'Now can we move Josh upstairs plz he works much better up there with Johannes.'
It comes after Emma responded to Strictly criticism with a cryptic post after the first live show suffered a ratings slump.
Things got off to a shaky start with the new presenting team as viewers weren't convinced by the set-up.
Taking to Instagram just days later, Emma shared a series of behind-the-scenes snaps from the show as she brushed off any critique with an inspiring quote about breaking free from judgment.
It read: 'You'll get judged either way, so may as well pick the fun option.'
