Amber Davies cut a glamorous figure in a sparkly silver gown as she arrived at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards on Thursday.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, 29, who landed in the bottom two during Sunday’s results show, turned heads on the red carpet at 180 Studios.
Her stunning ensemble featured a flattering cowl halter neckline, semi-sheer detailing, and a floor-length skirt.
Exuding old Hollywood glamour, Amber toted her essentials in a matching silver oval clutch.
She completed the look with sparkling diamond earrings and wore her brunette locks in a voluminous blowout, striking a series of poses for the cameras.
Since 1999, GLAMOUR has celebrated its initiative to honour ‘extraordinary and inspirational’ women from a variety of fields.

Past winners have included Pamela Anderson, Kim Cattrall, Naomi Campbell and Victoria Beckham.
However, this year, in a special Women of the Year feature, the UK edition has chosen nine transgender activists.
The honourees include a mix of relatively unknown models, actors and musicians, with the most famous face being Munroe Bergdorf – a controversial activist who once branded ‘all white people racist’ and said that the Suffragettes were ‘white supremacists’.
Last year’s winners included Bridgerton star Simone Ashley, The Little Mermaid actor Chloë Bailey, and Hollywood royalty Pamela Anderson.
As trans rights face an increasing threat in the UK, the magazine wishes to celebrate the community’s most ground-breaking voices.
Caroline Hooley, Commercial Lead at Glamour, said: ‘We’re so proud to be partnering with Simple, Tinder, and Parfums de Marly for this year’s Women of the Year celebration.
‘Each brand brings something unique to the event – from celebrating sisterhood, confidence and self-expression to creating unforgettable moments of connection.
‘Their support helps us honour incredible women in a way that feels both empowering and inspiring.’

Amber’s attendance at the event comes after she addressed why she looked visibly upset during Strictly’s results show on Sunday.
The musical theatre actress and her professional dance partner, Nikita Kuzmin, 27, found themselves in the bottom two alongside Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, 53, and his dance partner, Lauren Oakley, 34.
Amber has faced criticism for her previous West End dance experience, and television viewers failed to vote for the star last week despite her high scores.
Even though Amber and Nikita were saved by the judges, she admitted she felt terrible for Jimmy, calling it the ‘worst feeling in the world’ to go head-to-head with him.
Speaking on Strictly’s spin-off show, It Takes Two, on Tuesday evening, Amber said: ‘It’s the humanity side of it because Jimmy loved Strictly.
She continued: ‘And I just felt awful that it was us that had to be a part of them being knocked out.
‘I wasn’t sad because we were in the dance off, I was sad because I love him so much, and I love Lauren Oakley. Them as a team were amazing, and it’s just the worst feeling in the world.’
After the pre-recorded results show aired, Amber also shared her thoughts on the results on Instagram.

She said: ‘A gut wrenching evening in the dance off, especially dancing against two of the most amazing people I’ve met on this experience, @official_jfhasselbaink & @laurenmayoakley
‘I feel extremely lucky & thankful to be able to experience Halloween week on strictly, but there will be two very special people missed.
‘If you voted for us really really thank you, I guess this week we aim for a come back week?! @nikita__kuzmin thank you for holding my extremely shaky hands extra tight.’
During the results show, after both couples danced for a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts.
Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Shirley Ballas all chose to save Amber and Nikita.
Meanwhile, Anton Du Beke, who had the casting vote that week, said he would have done the same.
The pair have now secured their place in Strictly’s annual Halloween special on Saturday evening.
Reflecting on his time on the show, Jimmy said: ‘I have absolutely loved my experience.
‘I can only say thank you very much for letting me have this experience, and to my daughters for pushing me to come here and do this.’
Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 6:25pm and is followed by Sundays results show at 7:15pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
