The Wild at Heart star looked truly sensational in the show-stopping gown, of a striking pastel yellow hue.
Keen to make a statement, the dress pulled into a chic glittering halterneck secured by a chunky flower, to leave her delicate decolletage on show.
Cinching in at her petite waist with a matching sequin band, the chiffon skirt then cascaded softly to the floor and into a gorgeous, lengthy train.

Not stopping there, the gown then slit up the front to flash her svelte legs underneath, which she only lengthened with a pair of shimmering silver heels.
The ITV star swept her blonde hair into a sophisticated up-do, to keep all attention on her eye-catching look, and accentuated her features with a smoky eye and soft pink lip.
