If you're looking for festive party dressing inspiration, look no further than Oti Mabuse. The former Strictly Come Dancing star uploaded a picture of her latest outfit to Instagram and she looked absolutely stunning.
Posing in a black floor length gown ahead of the Variety Club Showbusiness Awards at the London Hilton on Tuesday night (22 November 2022), the 32-year-old's outfit of choice was show-stopping.
The design by Karen Millen featured eye-catching crystal detailing on the neckline and down the front of the dress. High-necked and sleeveless, it also featured a thigh-high statement split.

Oti styled the dress with glittery silver peep toe shoes and kept her accessories to a minimum, simply wearing a couple of cocktail rings and studded earrings. As for beauty, she opted for smoky eyes, flawless skin, a simple nude lip and her hair swept up into a high bun. She could also be seen wearing a fun diamanté accessory in her hair too.
A star-studded event, Alex Jones-Thomson was also in attendance. Oti uploaded a range of snaps from the evening and the pair could be seen enjoying time together at the same table. Oti captioned the images: "The fun table @varietygb. @alexjonesthomson made me laugh so much my make up came off ". Alex sweetly replied in the comments: "Ha!!! You’re always the best company."
Alex also looked stunning in a Christmas season party dress too. A halter, sleeveless design it featured red sequins all over it.
