Millie Mackintosh opts for dramatic slashed-to-the-thigh dress with plunging neckline as she joins a host of celebs at the InStyle and EE Rising Star pre-BAFTA party
She has spent most of last week soaking up the sunshine in Morocco while shooting her new fashion campaign.
And Millie Mackintosh made quite a return to the London social scene when she arrived at the InStyle and EE Rising Star pre-BAFTA party at The Ace Hotel in London on Monday night.
The 24-year-old former Made In Chelsea starlet hit up the red carpet in a figure-hugging black dress featuring a daring slit all the way to her hip and plunging neckline.

Tan-tastic: She has spent most of last week soaking up the sunshine in Morocco but Millie Mackintosh made quite a return to London's social scene at the InStyle and EE Rising Star pre-BAFTA party on Monday
Millie's modesty was protected by a sheer spider-web pattern over her decolletage as she posed like a pro before making her way inside.
Her hair flowed around her shoulders and Millie opted for dramatic make-up including blood-red lipstick.
While the dress flattered her slim figure to perfection, in a recent interview, Millie admitted she wished she had a curvier figure and bigger breasts.

She told Now magazine: 'I'd love an hourglass figure. If I was a curvy girl, I'd constantly have my boobs on display!'
While admitting she would like a large cleavage, she wouldn't go so far as to have augmentation surgery
She said: 'I'm scared of it looking fake.
'Plus the thought of hugging someone and feeling as if I've got two rocks on my chest. I don't think I'll ever go under the knife unless it's for my health.'
No doubt Millie was planning to do some networking at the BAFTAs bash as the former reality TV star was recently honoured to learn that A-listers Amal Clooney and Sienna Miller wore her false lashes on the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards.

Charlotte Tilbury, the make-up artist who created both stars' looks, packed Millie's Nouveau Lashes in her kit ahead of awards season.
Speaking to FEMAIL about the news, the former Made In Chelsea star said: 'Someone pinch me! My make-up artist idol is using my lashes on Hollywood movie stars.'
While Millie knew that Charlotte had packed her lashes, who she would be using them on was under wraps.
'I had no idea but she does make up some incredible actresses for the awards season each year, you can tell who's she's done because she's so good!
Dramatic: Millie chose dark red lipstick for her big night out at The Ace Hotel
'You can definitely spot a Charlotte Tilbury smokey eye or perfect plumped pout on the red carpet, I love seeing the photos,' said Millie.
Millie, who also has her own fashion range, launched her lashes a few years ago because she wanted to channel her skills as a make-up artist into something.
The burgeoning businesswoman has big plans to develop brand Millie this year. She said: 'I did some limited edition corner lashes and they did really well so I would like to bring them out again for summer.

Racy: Naomi Campbell flashed her underwear in a cut-out dress at the pre-BAFTA InStyle and EE Rising Star Party in London on Monday night
Catwalk to the small screen: Empire star Naomi brought some of her catwalk style to the acting world as she mingled among guests at the bash which was held in association with Lancome, Karen Millen and Sky Living
Not that she needs any help: Towering heels made her already endless legs seem even longer
'I am also working on a book with lots of beauty tips as well and food, fashion and fitness, too.'
The successful star also revealed that she'd love to venture into cosmetics in the future.
'I would love to do a small, everyday essentials line for teenage skin, really natural and all about healthy glowing skin and enhancing what you've got, not covering it,' she said.

Meanwhile, her acting career may not have set the big screen alight over the years but Naomi Campbell fit right in as she attended the pre-BAFTA InStyle and EE Rising Star Party.
The 44-year-old model - who is currently studying acting and landed a leading role in Lee Daniels' TV show Empire - stood out in a cut-out leather-look dress which showed off her underwear and most of her body as she attended the bash.

Naomi is swapping the catwalk for the small screen after landing a major recurring role in Lee Daniels' highly-anticipated drama Empire last year.
The supermodel was cast as temptress Camilla in the show, which focuses on a divorced couple, played by Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson, who run a hip-hop record company.
It's a huge coup for the catwalk queen, who has previously showed off her acting chops in small roles in the likes of Spike Lee's Girl 6 and The Cosby Show, and Naomi could not hide her excitement at joining the acting elite who have previously worked with movie master Daniels.
She said: 'It’s an honour to follow in the footsteps of actresses like Halle Berry, Oprah, Gabourey Sidibe and Mo'Nique, and work with Lee Daniels.
'I’m looking forward to joining Lee and this amazing cast on set.'
Daniels, who has enjoyed big screen hits with Precious and The Butler, added: 'Naomi is a beautiful actress. Underrated in my mind.
'She will be wonderful as Camilla. I am truly thrilled to have one of my close friends join us.'
The character will appear throughout the first season, set to air in spring 2015, and will be caught up in a steamy affair with a much younger Hakeen (Bryshere Gray), who is a potential heir to his father's hip-hop empire.
The future's bright: Emily Ratajkowski turned heads in a dynamic orange dress with halter neck detailing
The show will focus on Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), whose place in the music industry has been unchallenged until his health starts to fail.
He then has to choose which one of his three sons will take over, until a spanner is thrown into the works in the form of his ex-wife, Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), who is released seven years early from prison
It marks Daniels' TV directorial debut and follows his huge 2013 hit The Butler, which saw Oprah Winfrey win over the critics with her portrayal of Gloria Gaines, wife of longserving White House domestic staff member Cecil.

He also produced Halle Berry's Oscar winning performance in 2001's Monster's Ball and directed Mo'Nique in Precious, which scored her a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award in 2009.
Naomi has also previously starred in 1990s cop drama New York Undercover and fronted and executed produced Sky modelling search The Face.
Sadly, the same couldn't be said for Laura Whitmore, who perhaps tried a little too hard.
She matched grey with day-glow yellow for a migraine-inducing aesthetic, which was capped by Lego-effect shoes.
Fortunately, Emily Ratajkowski picked up the slack in a beautiful orange dress, complete with halter-neck detail.
The long and short of it: Stacey Martin and Jessica Raine choose wildly different approaches
Not to be out-done, Ella Eyre was also in attendance. She sported an 80s-inspired black dress, complete with a shoulderless neck-line and full-length sleeves.
To maintain her signature style, she added big hair and her Delevingne-esque eyebrows to the mix.
Other stars who attended included Luke Evans, Lilah Parsons and Angela Scanlon.
