But can you guess who she is?
It’s none other than Lisa Stansfield, who won the Nordoff and Robbins Silver Clef Award herself for Best Newcomer in 1990.
She cut a chic figure as she took to the red carpet in a grey suit which boasted a plunging neckline and cropped trousers.
Lisa also wore a black bucket hat along with a pair of £790 Gucci loathers complete with sparkly gold socks.
Oozing confidence Lisa flashed a huge smile as she posed with her hands in her pockets before heading into the swanky event.
All Around The World earned the singer two Grammy Award nominations and her first solo album Affection is her best-selling album to date.
However she doesn’t have fond memories of the song.
Lisa revealed back in 2018 that she’s ‘haunted’ by the way she looked in the 1989 music video.
Speaking on an episode of Lorraine, the singer confessed she doesn’t like to watch the video back, despite the song being her most successful single to date.

The Search For A Star winner admitted: ‘I had this funny weird fat face. It was done in a rush. And 30 years later in still haunts me.’
Revealing that she’s still grateful for the chances she had, she added: ‘People say to me about my music “it got me through college, it saved my marriage, it helped me to come out”. It’s wonderful to be part of someone’s life in a big way.’
Yet there is a downside to the industry, as Lisa admitted she struggled to cope with fame.
‘It got to the point where I just couldn’t go out of the house or to the shops, it made me twitchy,’ she explained. ‘We [Lisa and husband Ian Devaney] ended up living in Ireland for 14 years to get away from it.’
Lisa married music producer Ian Devaney, 58 in New York in 1998 after working together since the mid 1980s.
The pair met for the first time when they were at school and both starring in the school play.
Then several years later they then met up and formed the band Blue Zone alongside Andy Morris.
The band broke up when Lisa went solo however they continued to all work together as Lisa provided the vocals and Ian and Andy worked on the production.
