Grunge goddess! Laura Whitmore leads the style pack on the NME Awards red carpet in a racy cutaway dress
|
She's the hardest partying star in Britain, so it's no surprise that Laura Whitmore was the one of the first on the red carpet at the annual NME Awards on Wednesday.
Making sure that all eyes were on her again, the presenter wore a revealing skintight white dress which had two huge cutaway panels on either side as she posed for photos at The Troxy.
Looking just as edgy as she did glamorous, the star left very little to the imagination in the figure-hugging Lacoste minidress, which was cinched in at the waist with a black belt.
Dare to bare: Laura Whitmore leaves little to the imagination in a skintight cutaway dress at Wednesday night's NME Awards
Obviously trying to make an impression at the music magazine's notoriously raucous night, the MTV presenter wore her blonde hair scraped back into a ponytail, with loose strands falling around her face.
To add a grungy element to the look, the 27-year-old wore a splash of dark red lipstick and went heavy on the black eyeliner, creating a smokey eye look.
She held an on-trend blue clutch bag in one hand, showing off a studded cuff on her wrist, obviously trying to add a rockier element to her outfit for the event.

Adding some edge: The 27-year-old star adds a splash of dark red lipstick and a studded cuff to give her look a rockier edge
Fellow TV presenter Caroline Flack also opted for a black and white dress for the ceremony, but in contrast to Laura's super skintight look, her gown was loose-fitting.
Far from looking like she was off to a grungy music event, the 33-year-old added a pair of open-toe tan stilettos to her floaty, feminine dress.
She added a splash of bright pink lipstick to bring a little colour to the look and wore her dark hair poker straight over her shoulders.

Girlie style: Presenter Caroline Flack also opts for black and white but decided for a more feminine, floaty dress
Wannabe rock star: Zara Martin goes for more of an edgy look in a bright red leopard print dress
Zara Martin looked like she was embracing her inner rock star a lot more than her pals, opting for a red leopard print dress, paired with clunky black ankle boots.
She wore her blonde hair, with its trademark black roots, long and wavy and also decided on heavy, dark eye make-up, which looked dramatic against her pale skin.
Florence Welch looked typically ethereal in a high-necked blue chiffon gown, which had a floor-length blue velvet skirt.
Mixing it up: Katy B and actress Vicky McClure both bring a touch of glamour to the red carpet ahead of the ceremony
Going goth: Carl Barat cosies up to girlfriend Edie Langley who's gone for a white face and black lipstick
Here come the boys: Comedian Jack Whitehall and musician Jake Bugg haven't made quite as much effort as the girls, arriving in jeans and trainers
Ready to party: Ronnie Wood and wife Sally stay close to each other as they pose for photos on the red carpet
Gearing up for a raucous night: The Vaccines also look casual as they arrive at the music magazine's annual awards
Ronnie Wood looked dapper as he arrived at the ceremony arm-in-arm with new wife Sally, who looked more sophisticated than the rest in a red shift dress.
Katy B also opted for a chic look, wearing a skintight off-the-shoulder black dress, given an added rocky edge with red leopard print stilettos.
Suited and booted: Johnny Marr and Greg James both make an effort by going for smart suit jackets
Eclectic look: Idris Elba wore a strange red wooly hat with a blue bobble on it for the ceremony
Quirky style: Stars Alexandra Roach and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, who starred in Utopia pose together
Jake Bugg, who is rumoured to be model-of-the-moment Cara Delevingne's other half, looked casual on the red carpet in baggy trousers and trainers.
He perpetuated his ongoing feud with boyband One Direction by saying: '"I don't know how they can really be considered a band though to be honest. I'm not too sure. I think the more I play on it, it'll wind them up.'
He added: 'They're there to look good. Music wise? I assume they don't really have a clue.'
Catching up: Inside the ceremony Florence seems to be in deep conversation with Ronnie and Sally
Overwhelmed: Florence looks surprised to have picked up the award for Best Solo Female at the ceremony
Thanking her fans: The flame-haired star gives an emotional thank you to her fans as she takes to the stage
Joking around: Russell Kane and Paul Weller hit the stage together to present an award
Florence looked stunned when she was awarded Best Solo Female, putting her head in her hands before making her way up to the stage.
But not every award was one that you'd want to win as One Direction were awarded Worst Band and Harry Styles won Villain of the Year.
