It can be tricky trying to find the perfect red carpet dress at the best of times, let alone if you are pregnant.

But that clearly wasn’t a problem for Lucy-Jo Hudson who looked the picture of elegance as she attended The British Soap Awards on Saturday evening alongside her husband and co-star Alan Halsall.

Looking less of a soap star and more of a Greek goddess, the Coronation Street actress showed off her growing baby bump in her glamorous white gown from Tiffany Rose.

Stunning: Lucy-Jo Hudson looked great in white as she attended the British Soap Awards in Manchester on Saturday

The floor-length dress was perfect for her as it skimmed over her baby bump elegantly.

While it may have been low-cut the 30-year-old avoided showing off too much cleavage which can be a problem for soap stars when they attend events.

The dress featured intricate beading detail around the waist which added a touch of sparkle, as did her clutch bag.

Support: The actress was there to support her husband Alan Halsall who was up for four awards

Her hair had been styled off her face in a curled up-do, which meant her long earrings could take centre stage.

She completed her look with a dash of red lipstick and a very big smile.

Lucy-Jo was not only there as guest but to support her husband Alan, who is up for a whopping four awards at the ceremony. 

Bumping along: The star's dress was perfect for her bump as it skimmed it creating an elegant look

The actor, who plays Tyrone Dobbs on the show, ended up winning Best Actor and Best Storyline for his character's abuse by wife Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede)

He was also nominated for Best Episode and Best On-screen Partnership.

Dressed in dark blue suit, with a blue tie and a pair of brown shoes he looked particularly dapper. 

Earlier in the week he admitted that he was not feeling too comfortable about attending.

Short and sweet: Natalie Gumede (L) went for a short red dress while Katie McGlynn (R) wore a backless white dress 

He told The Mirror: ‘I'm not too comfortable with all that really. I have one standard smile which is like a big grin.

‘To be honest, when I get there I just want to get in, get to the bar and have a pint.’

But his wife was much excited and tweeted: ‘All suited and booted and heading to the @SoapAwards with @alanhalsall xxx #excited xxx’

The couple are expecting their first child together, which is due in just over four months.

Suited and booted: Coronation streets Antony Cotton (L) and John Michie (R) made sure they looked dapper in their black suits

Red hot: Georgia May Foote looked sophisticated in a floor length red dress with red lipstick

Eye catching: Andy Whyment (L) went all out in a shiny suit, while  Paula Lane wore a bright blue frock

Date night: Michelle Keegan was joined by her boyfriend Mark Wright for the ceremony

Suited and sparkles:  Brooke Vincent (L) wore a white suit while Michelle (R) wore a mermaid style gown

After arriving in Cannes late on Friday night, it was only a matter of time before Cheryl Cole appeared on the red carpet.

And she certainly made an entrance in a sheer, maroon dress as she arrived at the premiere of Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy Of A Plains Indian) on Saturday evening.

The former Girls Aloud star showed off her slender, tanned body in a Zuhair Murad creation as she joined A-listers Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Lawrence, Benicio Del Toro and Eva Longoria.

She teamed the dress with her hair backcombed with a loose plait and simple jewellery.

Cheryl made her red carpet entrance following a day of press interviews for L'Oreal.

Flawless: Cheryl wore simple jewellery so not to distract from the intricate gown

Working it: Cheryl poses for the world's press

She tweeted a photo of her talking to journalists, writing: 'Talking about L'Oreal all day.. and they call this a job?? I'm a lucky girl!!'

Jimmy P tells the story about a Native American soldier and the psychoanalyst treating him.

Cheryl has been a regular at Cannes ever year since signing her first L'Oreal contract in 2009, which was rumoured to be worth £500,000.

Eurovision 2013: Emmelie de Forest wins for Denmark... as UK's Bonnie Tyler comes in 19th place

• Ireland's entry Ryan Dolan ends up in last place
• Bonnie Tyler and the UK in 19th place - better than last year's 25th

Danish singer Emmelie de Forest has won this year's Eurovision Song Contest with her song Only Teardrops.

The blonde, who sang in English, was crowned this year's winner following the lengthy spectacle in Malmo, Sweden.

The UK's entry Bonnie Tyler ended up in a disappointing 19th place after failing to win enough votes from the participating countries.

Triumphant: Danish singer Emmelie de Forest has won this year's Eurovision Song Contest with her song Only Teardrops

Rousing the crowd: The blonde was accompanied by drummers for her winning song

Bizarrely, the host officially declared Denmark was the winner before returning to Cyprus and Croatia to take their votes.

However, the winner was clear, with Denmark being 47 points ahead of second place, Azerbaijan's Farid Mammadov.

In third place was Ukraine's Zlata Ognevich with Gravity. 

Shock! Emmelie reacts as she finds out she has officially won this year's contest

Team effort: Emmelie celebrates with her Danish entourage

As always, politics and neighborliness proved to be a dominating factor for many of the votes.

Welsh singer Bonnie, who scored huge hits in the 1980s with Total Eclipse Of The Heart and Holding Out For A Hero, was the 15th act to perform on the night, which saw 26 acts take to the stage.

Although she didn't received many points, she did received a rapturous reception from the audience following her performance of Believe In Me.

The 61-year-old star belted out the track in a black off-the-shoulder dress, and managed a quick 'thank you' following her set.

Better than last year! Bonnie Tyler ended up in 19th place, compared to last year's 25th place

Go Bonnie! She may not have won, but the Welsh singer got a good support from the audience

Not bad: Greece;s Koza Mostra feat. Agathon Iakovidis's Alcohol Is Free ended up in sixth place

Bonnie's placing comes after veteran singer Engelbert Humperdinck finished second last for the UK at last year's ceremony.

UK's neighbour, Ireland's Ryan Dolan was the last of the 26 acts to perform with dance song Only Love Survives.

One of the entries making waves on social networking site was Finland's Krista Siegfrids' Marry Me.

Causing controversy: Finland's Krista Siegfrids' protested against a ban on gay marriage with her track Marry Me

Familiar face: Dance star Cascada represented Germany with her song Glorious

Disappointing: Ryan Dolan of Ireland was in last place

In a bid to make a statement about her country's ban on gay marriage, Krista shared a kiss with a blonde female at the climax of her song.

Romania entry Cezar put on quite a flamboyant performance of his track It's My Life.

Wearing a bizarre, black outfit, he sang in an incredibly high falsetto while dancers moved around him dressed in nude underwear.

Opening the show: France's Amandine Bourgeois was first to perform, followed by Lithuania's Andrius Pojavis

Shiny disco balls: Belarus singer Alyona Lanskaya jumped out of a giant disco ball

Hitting those high notes: Romania's singer Cezar showed off his falsetto range

Fiery: Moldova's Aliona Moon had images projected on her large skirt

They'll be happy! Some Denmark fans arrive for the contest

In the pink: Eurovision was hosted by Petra Mede

Jennifer Lawrence looks stunning in black at the 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' photocall in Cannes

Black magic woman: Jennifer Lawrence looks stunning in black at the 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' photocall in Cannes

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

For Jennifer Lawrence, the last 12 months have proved to be a phenomenal year.

With the release of Silver Linings Playbook and an array of accolades including an Oscar, the 22-year-old seemed to go from strength to strength.

And on Saturday, the X-Men star cut a fashionable figure as she posed for pictures at a Hunger Games photocall at the Cannes Film Festival.

Looking good! Jennifer looked fantastic in her black ruffled top and black trouser combo

Troublesome trio: the stars posed for pictures at the Hunger Games: Catching Fire photocall

Golden girl: Jennifer is back after a super successful 2012

Dress in a black ruffled bandeau top, black tailored trousers and neon red pointed stilettos, the actress showed her toned arms and winning smile.

With shoulder-length, highlighted hair, Jennifer was in Cannes to promote the next installment of the trilogy, Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

She posed with her co-stars Liam Hemsworth and Sam Claffin.

Leading men: Liam ,left, and Sam, right, both appear in the new Hunger Games sequel

Pretty woman: Jennifer showed her playful fashion sense in a black ruffled bandeau top

Oscar winner: Jennifer managed to pose for photos without falling over, like she did whilst en route to collect her Oscar win

Liam wore an unbuttoned crisp white shirt, with a black belt, grey suit trousers and black shoes.

Sam opted for a more stylist take in a khaki grandad shirt, a double-breasted jacket, cropped trousers and blue suede shoes.

The trio looked every bit as good-looking as the characters they play.

Pout power: Liam, Jennifer and Sam give their best Hollywood pouts 

In the next Hunger Games installment, Katniss and Peeta have to take a victory tour, but with a rebellion simmering away and President Snow still as hellbent on power, there's tough times ahead for the pair. 

Jennifer originally auditioned for the part of Bella in the Twilight films - a part which famously went to Kristen Stewart. 

Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be out in UK cinemas later this year.

Jennifer Metcalfe goes braless at British Soap Awards in gaping white blazer

She's got some front! Jennifer Metcalfe goes braless at British Soap Awards in gaping white blazer

PUBLISHED: 19:32, 18 May 2013 | UPDATED: 19:46, 18 May 2013

She missed out on a nomination for Sexiest Female at this year's British Soap Awards.

However, it looks like Jennifer Metcalfe was certainly showing awards bosses and the public they may have missed a trick by leaving her off the shortlist.

The Hollyoaks star, 29, certainly garnered plenty of attention as she arrived at the Manchester ceremony in a white blazer and nothing underneath.

Taking the plunge: Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe shows off some major cleavage in a white blazer and skinny jeans at the British Soap Awards in Manchester on Saturday

Too much? Jennifer shows off her breasts as the material gapes open

As she bent over, the gaping blazer nearly exposed Jennifer's breasts to the waiting paparazzi.

Joining Jennifer on the red carpet was her co-star Gemma Merna, who plays her on-screen sister Carmel in the Channel 4 soap.

Ahead of her red carpet arrival, Jennifer had been tweeting about her pampering and cocktail sessions.

She's got some front! After three cocktails, no wonder Jennifer was relaxed in her risque ensemble

Sibling style: While Jennifer went for sexy androgynous, her co-star Gemma Merna went for a daring lace number

Just before she turned up at Media City in Salford, she admitted she was on her third cocktail.

She tweeted: 'Cocktail no 3 now 'av t get ready (sic).'

Blonde Gemma also went for a more daring look, in a floor-length lace gown with a sheer panel all down the side.

Grecian goddess: Jorgie Porter, who is up for Sexiest Female, showed some flesh in white Grecian gown and gold belt

Baby on board: Former Coronation Street actress Lucy-Jo Hudson, who was there to support her husband, showed off her baby bump in white

No doubt the actress would have done some serious waxing before opting for such a revealing ensemble.

Also going for a similar style to Jennifer was Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent, who wore a white trouser suit.

Bit more restrained: Corrie star Brooke Vincent wore a white trouser suit... and probably a bra (unlike Jennifer)
