Ellie Simmonds looked absolutely stunning in a sequin dress on the red carpet on Monday, 24 October.
The Paralympian and current Strictly Come Dancing contestant was seen attending the Pride of Britain Awards at Grosvenor House, London.
For the event, Ellie opted for a long-sleeve black midi dress adorned with sequins.
Ellie's looks simply stunning in her choice of outfit. The dress boasts a host of flattering features, including a plunge neckline and cinched waist silhouette. The sheer sleeves embellished with sequins also elevate the dress, making for the most elegant red carpet look.
For her makeup and hair, Ellie opted for for a smoky eye with a dash of eyeliner and a nude lip. She wore her blonde hair in a sophisticated, slicked-back bun.
And, Ellie didn't just walk the red carpet alone. In fact, she was seen smiling for cameras with her Strictly professional dance partner, Nikita Kuzman. The pair looked happy and relaxed as they posed for a photo together, with Nikita putting an arm around Ellie's shoulder.
