Laura Whitmore kept it classy as she joined the star-studded line up at the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards at Raffles in London on Tuesday.
The presenter, 39, wowed in a plunging strapless black gown and black lace gloves as she posed up a storm on the carpet.
Featuring ruched detailing and a high leg slit, the star flashed plenty of skin in the ensemble which she completed with pink flower patterned black heels.
Laura’s appearance at the awards event comes after she broke her silence after the results of the Giovanni Pernice investigation were released on Monday.
Six of Amanda Abbington’s allegations against pro Giovanni were upheld – after she made a series of bullying claims against him during her time on the show last year.

Laura was also partnered with Giovanni on the show in 2016 and was one of the stars who spoke to the BBC as part of the investigations after what she described as his ‘inappropriate’ behaviour on the show.
She said she first raised concerns in 2016 with the show and in August this year accused the BBC of ‘gaslighting’ her over her experience with Giovanni.
And breaking her silence on Monday she spoke out after the probe was completed saying on her Instagram Story: ‘I hope this helps people realise they should not be subjected to abusive behaviour in the workplace.
‘Things can be twisted online and there’s so much more to this but in black and white there were complaints upheld and an apology made. And the perpetrator no longer works for the channel.’
In 2018, Laura also shared that she didn’t enjoy her time on Strictly with Giovanni, leaving the competition in week seven feeling ‘broken’ and admitting she ‘cried every day’.
In July Laura confirmed she had spoken to the BBC about Giovanni’s ‘inappropriate’ behaviour on Strictly.
She claimed she initially raised concerns to the BBC six years ago and said she had discussed with six former Strictly stars about their time on the show.
On an Instagram post, Laura wrote: ‘I was trying not to comment on recent press speculation until the BBC review is complete but feel there is a lot of misinformation in the press and I want to help and show support by setting the record straight.
She added a touch of red lipstick and a black leather handbag

‘I was asked to speak to the BBC along with six people that I know of (who deserve anonymity as they don’t want to be dragged through the press), about inappropriate behaviour they experienced similar to mine with the same individual.
‘I initially raised concerns back in 2016. I thought my experience was specific to me but I’ve since learned I was wrong.
‘The aim of this is to show a pattern of behaviour that I believe needs to stop. My evidence is to support other people’s experience. It’s a shame it takes this for someone to be heard.
‘I am not looking for anything just an acceptance that what happened to me in the rehearsal rooms during my time on BBC Strictly was wrong and that it won’t happen to anyone else again.
‘Because I have not made an official complaint, and am providing evidence of my experience to support the investigation, not all the communication will be passed on to all parties involved.
‘Misinformation is being put into the press so I want to set the record straight. Victim blaming must stop or we will never get better.
‘I’ve tried to speak up in the correct way. I know the BBC and all outlets continue to do their best to be better, but for that to happen we must speak up.’
