She had all eyes on her when she arrived at the star-studded GQ Men Of The Year Awards with a bold new look.
And Alex Scott also had all eyes on her when she left the soiree as she nearly took a tumble outside the Kensington Roof Gardens in London on Tuesday night.
The sports pundit, 40, who had transformed her image with a preppy red wig, was unsteady on her feet as she strode out of the venue after mingling with a host of A-listers.
Alex sported an androgynous look in a structured black velvet blazer which had huge shoulder pads and showed off her long legs in sheer tights.
She wore a white shirt underneath the blazer and silver dangly earrings as she hit the red carpet.
The annual event brought together actors, filmmakers, athletes, journalists, musicians, artists and writers to celebrate those who have helped shape in industry.

Earlier in the night, Alex showed off her bold red wig and androgynous ensemble as she posed up a storm alongside fellow footballer Leah Williamson on the red carpet
It was a bold departure from her typical look, with fans used to seeing Alex wrapped up warm and with her natural brunette locks while commentating at matches (pictured last month)
Last month, Alex said she is now ‘in the best place’ at 40, but admitted it hasn’t always been easy as she detailed her struggles with rejection.
Speaking to Hunger magazine she explained: ‘Sometimes people just see the end process, but not what it took.
‘The rejection, the people not thinking that I was good enough because of my accent and so forth.
‘That constant drive to prove people wrong has always been there from that young girl in Poplar.’
Reflecting back on her younger self she added: ‘That young Alex in the cage, she had dreams.
‘She wanted to see the world.
‘She could see there was a bigger picture and she didn’t want to be stuck in that football cage and think that was her life.’
Alex signed with Arsenal when she was only eight years old and later went on to become their captain.
After appearing in the Women’s Super League 140 times, the star retired from football in September 2017.
She then began putting her expertise to good use from the presenting chair on BBC Sport landing jobs at the Women’s World Cup.
