Laura Mvula, Nile Rodgers, Skepta, Nicola Roberts and Florence Welch at the star-studded Ivor Novello Awards

Ravishing redheads: Nicola Roberts takes the plunge in a daring silver jumpsuit while International Achievement winner Florence Welch rocks red velvet at the star-studded Ivor Novello Awards

She's been keeping a low profile since her ex was given a five-year restraining order.
And Nicola Roberts was moving on from her stalker hell as she joined by a host of stars including Florence Welch at the 62nd Annual Ivor Novello Music Awards on Tuesday, held at Grosvenor House in London.
The Girls Aloud singer, who has turned her hand to songwriting of late, was leading the glamour at the star-studded event in a striking silver jumpsuit.

The Florence + The Machine singer pulled her bohemian look together with an embroidered clutch bag and a quirky necklace.
Earlier this month, Nicola's ex-boyfriend, who bombarded her with threatening messages and sent her flowers in a five-year campaign of stalking, was given a lifetime restraining order by a judge.
Former soldier Carl Davies threatened to stab and burn Nicola after setting up 35 fake social media accounts.

He used them to send thousands of Twitter and Instagram messages.
Knife and fire emojis were pictured on the most disturbing messages compared to the other more affectionate tweets where the Afghanistan veteran declared his love to the flame-haired singer, Guilford Crown Court heard.
Nicola never replied to any of the messages, instead meticulously copying every vile missive until after five years the target changed to her friend, R n' B singer Joel Compass, which prompted the 31-year-old to contact the police.

Knife and fire emojis were pictured on the most disturbing messages compared to the other more affectionate tweets where the Afghanistan veteran declared his love to the flame-haired singer, Guilford Crown Court heard.
Davies had been the star's boyfriend at the heights of the Girls Aloud fame but the pair parted company in 2008.
It was reported at the time they were engaged during the 18-month relationship but public rows, including one at the G-A-Y nightclub just before she performed with her bandmates, led to the then 22-year-old calling time on their relationship.
The harassing social media message started appearing in 2012 and continued until Davies was arrested in February this year and was remanded to prison until the case could be heard in court.

The envy of the room! Katherine Jenkins looks stunning in floral 1950s-style green dress and nude stilettos at Silver Clef Awards

She had stepped out looking amazing in a spotted navy dress for the eighth day of Wimbledon on Tuesday.
