That's NOT classy: Eastenders actress Rachel Wilde leads the way for the worst-dressed as she leaves nothing to the imagination at the National Television Awards
Television actress Rachel Wilde has made her red carpet debut at the National Television Awards in a dramatic faux pas dress.
The Eastenders actress, who plays Nikki Spraggan in the BBC soap, shocked onlookers as she displayed her crotch in a gaping gown at The O2 arena.
The look - which raised countless eyebrows - has already been crediting as leading the way for the worst-dressed at the annual ceremony.
Crass: The TV actress exposed her crotch in an ungracious gown of epic proportions
Wearing a floor-length, belted dress that was only loosely gathered at the waist, the actress forced attendees to be confronted with a plunging neckline and a pair of purple knickers.
Bizarrely, they appeared to be made of lace-effect material, which only further failed to protect her modesty before an audience of millions.
The look was anchored with a pair of platform, strappy shoes before it sank beneath the surface of good taste completely.
Best foot forward? Rachel Wilde walks straight into a sartorial disaster
What not to wear: Rachel made a poor choice in her red carpet arrival outfit
Despite this, the actress flashed a dazzling smile as she strode confidently in front of her peers.
Fortunately, there were plenty of other poorly-dressed people to divert any unwanted attention from her dress disaster.
The other offenders included the female cast-members of The Valleys. Collectively, they looked brash in a collection of revealing dresses.
The worst, by far, was Nicole Morris who wore a red halter-neck dress with what appeared to be a huge, oversized bow in her hair.
Fortunately, she had a sense of reality as she took to Twitter to say: 'Love lookin horrendous :)'.
Girl dour: Sadly, the ladies from The Valleys showed so sign of subtlety or refinement
