Each dressed in multi-coloured attire, the stars have certainly gone all-out in the sparkle stakes.
Athlete Iwan Thomas went for dramatic effect in an electric blue ensemble, which was embellished with crystals, while Call The Midwife star Helen George sported a peach number.
Not to be out-done, Kirsty Gallacher rocked a fluorescent pink mini-dress with a fan-pleated hemline for maximum exposure.

Former member of The Wanted, Jay McGuiness, kept it simple in a diamond-encrusted shirt and black trousers, while Ainsley Harriot was typically flamboyant.
Meanwhile, Peter Andre, Georgia May Foote and singer Jamelia chose to take their costumes very seriously and go for full-on sex appeal - something Radio 2's Jeremy Vine isn't expected to ooze.
Pictured looking dapper in a formal dress suit, he told the magazine that he may just be this year's equivalent of John Sargeant.

'You look for a suspiciously toned bottom or an overly graceful movement by the tea urn,' he said of trying to find secretly-good dancers. 'But, as I gazed around, the thing that worried me was: there was no buffoon. No idiot. Nobody who couldn’t dance...'
Meanwhile, Kelly Bright used the opportunity to have a playful dig at her EastEnders co-star, Danny Dyer.
'The EastEnders producers told me I couldn’t wear fake tan, but Danny puts fake tan on every day,' she said. 'Sometimes he goes too far, so I’ll just match his mahogany head.'
Strictly Come Dancing starts Friday, 25 September on BBC1. The new issue of Radio Times is out now.
The contestants from the show will also be taking part in the Radio Times Festival - four days of TV, radio and book events at London's Hampton Court Palace from 24-27 September.
