She's with the band: Abbey Clancy channels her inner rock chick as she arrives at 2014 NME Awards wearing long black dress
|
Abbey Clancy gave herself an image overhaul when she turned up to the 2014 NME Awards at London's 02 Brixton Academy on Wednesday night.
The 28-year-old shunned her trademark mini dresses and looked like a total rock chick in her all-black ensemble which covered up her slim figure.
Clancy walked the red carpet with a couple of equally cool friends and looked fab in a black maxi dress which had a sexy criss-cross effect which showed off some of her cleavage.

Pouting mysteriously for the cameras, the blonde showed off a cool cropped leather jacket which gave her look some serious edge.
This year's Strictly Come Dancing winner wore her tresses down in loose, tousled curls and kept her make-up fairly minimal save for a bit of grungy eyeliner. She brightened up her look with red heels.
There was no sign of her husband, footballer Peter Crouch, who may well have been looking after their daughter, Sophia, at home.

All the same, it seems as if Abbey couldn't wait to attend the annual event, simply writing on her Twitter page: 'Exciting day ahead.'
The night is set to be a showbiz affair with Paul McCartney collecting a special, one-off honour of NME's Songwriter's Songwriter.
Damon Albarn will collect the brand new NME Award For Innovation while Arctic Monkeys lead the nominations this year with eight in total.
