Last week they pulled out all the stops to ensure they looked their best for the Britain's Got Talent live shows but Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon proved they didn't use up all of their best looks. 
The judges both attended Simon Cowell's Together for Short Lives Midsummer Ball at Sixty One Whitehall in London on Wednesday evening where they wowed in extremely different but equally stunning strapless dresses. 
Amanda brought a pop of colour to proceedings with her bright yellow dress.

Meanwhile Rochelle and Marvin Humes were led the starry arrivals at the ball, with Rochelle wowing in a plunging, silky number. 
The 26-year-old showed some skin in her slinky floor-length gown thanks to a low-cut neckline and racy thigh-high split.
The silky fabric clung to her curves while the split allowed The Saturdays singer to show off her strappy gold sandals.
A delicate gold necklace and matching drop earrings finished off her look, with Rochelle pulling her hair back into a sleek ponytail. Husband Marvin meanwhile was suited and booted as he cosied up to his stunning wife on the red carpet.

Marvin and Rochelle have been enjoying plenty of time together this week, with Rochelle admitting in an interview with the MailOnline recently that she is loving her life as a wife and mum of the couple's adorable daughter Alaia-Mai.
The Saturdays star confessed she has no plans to expand their family right now because she has her hands full with her two-year-old. 
Following Marvin’s admission earlier this year that he couldn’t wait to become a father again, Rochelle revealed the timing just isn’t right.

‘I’m really enjoying my little girl’s age, she’s becoming a real person now’, she explained. 'I’ve got used to our system so I’m going to enjoy that for a bit longer. At the moment I’ve only really got time for Marvin and Alaia. In due course, when I’m ready to take some time off, then I will.’
Simon Cowell is hosting the Midsummer Ball in his role as patron for Together For Short Lives, which provides support for seriously ill children and their families.
Together for Short Lives 'is the leading UK charity for all children with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions and all those who support, love and care for them,' according to their website.
'We support families, professionals and services, including children’s hospices. Our work helps to ensure that children can get the best possible care, wherever and whenever they need it.'
