Jessica Ennis-Hill certainly stood out from the crowd as she attended an Omega party in London on Tuesday night.

The champion heptathlete opted for an eye-catching orange Antonio Berardi dress which hugged her athletic figure in all the right places as she attended the summer bash, held at the Omega Vintage store in Burlington Arcade.

But instead of teaming the dress with a pair of skyscraper heels, Jessica instead opted to stick to flats - clearly doing everything she can to ensure a quick recovery process following an ankle injury.

Jessica, 27, finished off her look with a black clutch bag, and left her golden blonde hair loose for the occasion.

The Sheffield-born Olympic champion's evening out came as she was named as part of the Great Britain team for next month's World Championships in Moscow.

While Jessica had been expected to be included in the squad, her ankle injury which led to her pulling out of the British Championships last weekend put her involvement in August's world championships in doubt.

However, UK Athletics performance director Neil Black remains confident that Jessica had what it takes to secure more victory for Team GB during the Moscow event, despite being out of the game for a lengthy period of time due to her injuries.

He said: 'I truly believe she is one of the few who could come and do that. By loving the event, by being technically so good at it, by practising so much, by being so fit and healthy and being so good … we can certainly think very positively.'

So it's more than understandable that Jessica, who is expected to compete in the 100m hurdles at the Diamond League event in Monaco on Friday - decided not to risk any further injuries by sticking to flats for her evening out.

Jessica wasn't the only familiar face at the Omega summer cocktail party.

Zoe Hardman looked chic in a peach miniskirt and white top which highlighted her deep golden tan, while Hofit Golan opted for an unusual playsuit.

Model Noelle Reno kept things simple in a black pencil skirt, silver silky top and silver sandals, while Linzi Stoppard stood out in her cobalt blue lace dress.

Dominic Cooper led the way for the celebrity men at the event, in a pair of chino trousers, T-shirt and blazer, while actor Bill Nighy and newsreader Jon Snow also made an appearance.
