It was a night devoted to honouring members of the British public for their heroic achievements over the last twelve months.

But while the Pride Of Britain Awards were all about heroes, the red carpet outside London’s Grosvenor House on Tuesday evening was all about fashion.

Indeed, the designer frocks were present and correct as a host of stars – amongst them girl-band The Saturdays – turned up to support Britain’s finest.

But as they sashayed to and from the event there was very nearly a fashion faux-pas from the most unlikely of sources – sultry singer Vanessa White.

The 23-year-old star looked stunning on the night in a sweeping black gown with a wide slash that revealed her strappy heels.

Its sleeveless design also revealed her numerous tattoos, but as she ventured out of the Mayfair venue later that night it also revealed something else – a generous helping of side-boob.

Vanessa seemed unaware of the potential calamity, appearing to have her eyes fixed to the pavement as she made her way past waiting fans.

Despite her over exposure the singer still managed to look elegant, with her neutral dress accentuating her dark skin tone and hair.

However, the singer was matched in the fashion stakes by band-mates Mollie King, Una Healy and Rochelle Humes, who stood out in an embellished semi-sheer nude dress and matching heels.

Meanwhile, Mollie King wore an elegant sleeveless dress with black ribbing.
