DRESSED to impress

WHICH CELEBRITIE­S EARNED STYLE POINTS THIS WEEK?

- Rebecca Adlington and Paula Radcliffe

STARS from the athletic world were out in force this week for the Sports Personalit­y of the Year Awards, in Birmingham.

And while the ceremony was about celebratin­g this year’s biggest sporting achievemen­ts, it was impossible to miss some of the glamorous red carpet looks.

Paralympia­n and Strictly Come Dancing star Lauren Steadman led the way in an all-black ensemble made up of a net high-neck top and a pleated floor-length satin skirt.

The 25-year-old’s custom-made outfit was from British designer Rene K. She teamed it with a curly updo, sultry dark eyeliner and a nude lip.

Rebecca Adlington, 29, opted for a colour block look, matching a pair of red flared trousers with a plunging loose-fitted blouse and tailored blazer.

The two-time Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer completed her outfit with gold accessorie­s and crimson lipstick.

Olympic runner Paula Radcliffe, 45, stunned in a floor-sweeping fitted black gown which hugged her in all the right places. In a nod to the festive season, the asymmetric­al dress had a metallic gold top which perfectly complement­ed her sun-kissed glow.

The fastest female marathon runner of all time wore her blonde locks in tousled waves and accessoris­ed with a simple pair of studded earrings, some dainty gold jewellery and a leather-strap watch.

These sporting legends certainly didn’t score any own goals.
