Grunge goddess! Laura Whitmore leads the style pack on the NME Awards red carpet in a racy cutaway dress

She's the hardest partying star in Britain, so it's no surprise that Laura Whitmore was the one of the first on the red carpet at the annual NME Awards on Wednesday.
Making sure that all eyes were on her again, the presenter wore a revealing skintight white dress which had two huge cutaway panels on either side as she posed for photos at The Troxy.
Looking just as edgy as she did glamorous, the star left very little to the imagination in the figure-hugging Lacoste minidress, which was cinched in at the waist with a black belt.

Obviously trying to make an impression at the music magazine's notoriously raucous night, the MTV presenter wore her blonde hair scraped back into a ponytail, with loose strands falling around her face.

 

To add a grungy element to the look, the 27-year-old wore a splash of dark red lipstick and went heavy on the black eyeliner, creating a smokey eye look.
She held an on-trend blue clutch bag in one hand, showing off a studded cuff on her wrist, obviously trying to add a rockier element to her outfit for the event.

Fellow TV presenter Caroline Flack also opted for a black and white dress for the ceremony, but in contrast to Laura's super skintight look, her gown was loose-fitting.
Far from looking like she was off to a grungy music event, the 33-year-old added a pair of open-toe tan stilettos to her floaty, feminine dress.
She added a splash of bright pink lipstick to bring a little colour to the look and wore her dark hair poker straight over her shoulders.

Wannabe rock star: Zara Martin goes for more of an edgy look in a bright red leopard print dress

Zara Martin looked like she was embracing her inner rock star a lot more than her pals, opting for a red leopard print dress, paired with clunky black ankle boots.
She wore her blonde hair, with its trademark black roots, long and wavy and also decided on heavy, dark eye make-up, which looked dramatic against her pale skin.
Florence Welch looked typically ethereal in a high-necked blue chiffon gown, which had a floor-length blue velvet skirt.

Jake Bugg, who is rumoured to be model-of-the-moment Cara Delevingne's other half, looked casual on the red carpet in baggy trousers and trainers.
He perpetuated his ongoing feud with boyband One Direction by saying: '"I don't know how they can really be considered a band though to be honest. I'm not too sure. I think the more I play on it, it'll wind them up.'
He added: 'They're there to look good. Music wise? I assume they don't really have a clue.'
