Denise Van Outen donned a form fitting gown as she enjoyed her first night out since revealing she’s split from her boyfriend Jimmy Barba.
The Big Breakfast star, 49, slipped into a glitzy dress ahead of a MacMillan charity gala held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London on Thursday.
Denise put on a leggy display as her jewel embedded garment cut off high up the thigh before it flowed into a sheer floor-length tulle skirt.
Her dress showed off ample cleavage and featured off-the-shoulder fabric tails that floated beautifully down her toned back.
Denise paired the stunning outfit with a set of strappy nude heels and a simple cream bangle.

The star posed with long-term friends fashion guru, Gok Wan, 49, Blue’s star Duncan James, 45 and the event’s host Al Murray, 55.
It comes after the star split from her boyfriend Jimmy, 49, following a whirlwind 18 month romance.
The presenter and DJ went public with property developer, 55, last summer.
Denise told The Sun: ‘We have decided to part ways but we remain great friends and our families and children are still in touch.’
After an amicable split, Denise and Jimmy still follow each other on social media and have kept loved-up snaps together on their profiles.
Denise found love again with Jimmy in July 2022 following a previous devastating split.
She met Jimmy through All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis, at the Grand Prix Ball and the pair enjoyed their first holiday together after jetting to Marbella.
Just a couple of months ago, Denise spoke about her ‘good relationship’ with Jimmy and told how she didn’t feel the need to vet her new man as she knew those closest to her would never set her up with someone she could not trust.

She told The Sun: ‘I am in a really good relationship now. Jimmy is lovely!’
Denise added of the friends that set them up: ‘I was introduced to him via my friends who I have known for the best part of my life.
‘I didn’t think I needed to get him vetted. I knew they were never going to set me up with someone who I couldn’t trust. I knew they wouldn’t do that to me and he knows too many people.’
Blue star Duncan James and Gary Barlow were among her famous pals who gave him the seal of approval as he used to work with Jimmy from his professional dancing days.
Back in 2010, Jimmy became a household name in Italy after starring in the eleventh series of Big Brother (Grande Fratello) where he finished in fourth place.
While he may not have won the series and bagged the €300,000 grand prize, he kept audiences entertained during his stint by striking up romances with two of his fellow housemates, Rosa Baiano and Margherita Zanatta.
What followed was a short-lived pop career, with Jimmy releasing three singles between 2012 and 2013 – although they failed to light up the charts.
More recently, Jimmy – who described his career as being a dancer and farmer when he appeared on Grande Fratello – has shunned the world of showbiz to become a property developer.
However, the British-Italian star did reveal that he still has an interest in celebrity culture when he struck up a conversation with the likes of singer Cheryl and Sky Sports’ Laura Woods.
