Leaving her long brunette locks in chic styled waves to tumble over her shoulders, she completed the look with dramatic smoky eye make-up, cheek blush and nude lip gloss.

The ever-trim star was even brave enough to bare the bitter cold and reveal her tanned and toned pins especially for the event.

The star took to Twitter to reveal her day's events, ahead of the prestigious occasion, writing: 'After a day 'painting plates', am now en route to the Childrens Baftas followed by a Filipino fundraiser for #Haiyan. Long night ahead.'

Myleene was also particularly ecstatic about meeting Henry Winkler, also known as The Fonz from American TV sitcom Happy Days and could not help but tweet her excitement.

The Children's BAFTA was not the only event that the independent charity decided to hold on Sunday evening.

In her new film Saving Mr Banks, Emma Thompson plays PL Travers, the obstinate author of Mary Poppins.

Thompson recently spoke out about the pressures faced by film actresses.

She told The Telegraph: 'It seems young actresses are under pressure to look a particular way.

'They look the same, that’s the thing. And they’re all being photoshopped in adverts for all sorts of (products), so maybe that’s difficult as well — because you’ve got pictures of yourself looking perfect.

'They have to be this specific model size, and if they get on to the red carpet, they’re all having to walk like models and dress like models. I think the pressure is terrible.'

What a fan club! Emma Thompson signs autographs for a crowd of people outside the BAFTA event

After recently reuniting follow a three-year hiatus from the music industry, Girls Aloud have well and truly re-established themselves as the Princesses of Pop.

And following Monday night's Royal Variety Performance, the quintet found themselves face-to-face with the Queen.

After taking to the stage at London's Royal Albert hall for a flawless live showcase, the girlband were introduced to Her Majesty, beaming from ear-to-ear as they took it in turns to politely shake her hand.

And Cheryl Cole proved to be a particular fan of the 86-year-old monarch, somewhat bizarrely comparing her hair to 'candy floss' and praising her 'tiny little dancing shoes'.

Writing on her Twitter page, Cheryl wrote: 'The Queen is so delicate. She has hair like candy floss and tiny little dancing style shoes .. Awww #theroyalvariety2012.'

It would seem Her Majesty was equally enamoured with the Geordie beauty, smiling widely as she chatted briefly to the 29-year-old singer.
