Sports Personality Of The Year winner Keely Hodgkinson continued her night of celebrations, as she changed into a dramatic white feathered gown to leave the glitzy ceremony on Tuesday.
The sprinter, 22, was awarded the top honour after winning gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics earlier this year.
Having already graced the red carpet in an eye-catching black strapless gown, Keely changed into a bold white feathered dress as she departed the ceremony at Media City in Manchester.
Keely showed off her athletic physique in the form-fitting white dress with a feathered stole, teamed with black pointed-toe heels.
Other stars also seen leaving the ceremony included Sir Bradley Wiggins, Barry McGuigan and Luke Littler.
Keely was up against some stiff competition after a formidable year of sports with the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris earlier this year, as well as Wimbledon, the EUROs and several World Cups.

The sensational sportswoman beat out superstar darts player Luke Littler, triathlete Alex Yee, footballer Jude Bellingham, para-cyclist Sarah Storey, and cricketer Joe Root for the historic title.
The Olympic 800 metres champion had an astonishing year, with the 22-year-old striking gold at the Paris Olympics as well as defending her European title.
Not only did she bring home several medals, she also became the sixth fastest woman in history setting a new British record of one minute and 54.61 seconds.
After being presented the award by former winners Sir Chris Hoy and Mary Earps, the Olympian confessed she was in a ‘little bit of shock.’
‘I’m actually more excited for my coach to be honest! This year has been absolutely incredible for me,’ she added.
‘I am so grateful to be in this position. I wish you all a wonderful evening, thank you so much!’
But the track isn’t the only place where Hodgkinson sets heart racing as she donned a chic black backless dress, with glamorous sheer sleeves covering her hands.
Whilst on the red carpet, she revealed how it would be a great win not only for her but her sport, to ‘showcase’ not only herself ‘but all the incredible athletes’.

‘It would be amazing to win. You look at the names down the list, not just track and field, you have got Andy Murray, Lewis Hamilton, British icons,’ she added.
‘So it would be great to put my name up there as well, so fingers crossed.’
During the ceremony, the sportswoman spoke of her talent and passion for track and field, adding that life had been ‘amazing’ since Paris.
‘I get the best out of my self when I have something to aim for.’ she explained.
‘I took great inspiration from Jessica Ennis-Hill at London 2012. You start to dream into your teenage years.
‘There is definitely a difference. It’s been amazing ever since Paris, I have had people come up to me with such amazing messages saying their kids love to watch it.’
She previously mentioned that it would bring her more joy to see her mentor and coach Trevor Painter win Coach of the Year.
Painter alongside Jenny Meadows won the category – whose previous winners include the likes of Wigan Warriors boss Matt Peet and USA’s ex-Chelsea women’s manager Emma Hayes.
Not only has Painter led Hodgkinson to gold in Paris, he also guided Georgia Bell a bronze medal in the 1500m as well as Lewis Davey to a bronze in the men’s 4x400m relay.
‘It would be even better than me winning it,’ said Hodgkinson when asked about the prospect of Painter triumphing in his category. ‘I think he deserves it so much.
‘I’m not sure of any other coach this year that has put forward as much as he has in getting three Olympic medals within our training group.
‘He just creates such a fun environment for us all that makes us want to keep coming and keep working hard.
‘He’s got a really good work ethic and he believes in all of us. That’s what has helped us achieve so much on the track.’
A close contender for the Sports Personality of the Year, Luke Littler came second in the publicly voted award.
Although he missed out on the main award, the 17-year-old did walked away with the Young Sports Personality of the Year trophy, beating out Paralympian swimmer Will Ellard and Olympic skateboarder Sky Brown.
