The National Television Awards is traditionally a night of glitz and glamour, with famous faces stepping out to impress – but some unfortunately failed to set the red carpet alight with their style choices.
From Made in Chelsea‘s Sam Thompson to Line of Duty‘s Vicky McClure, several stars of TV proved to be entertainment for all the wrong reasons when attending the annual event in The O2, in London.
Sam, 31, who was interviewing stars ahead of the ceremony, made a bizarre fashion choice; he opted to wear blue crocs, alongside a smart black suit.
The former MIC star proudly showed off his unique choice of footwear as he kicked up his heels while posing up a storm on the red carpet. He completed the look with a pair of blue tinted shades as he made the most of the late summer weather.
This Is England’s Vicky, 40, meanwhile, opted for a ruffled dress featuring an eye-catching shoulder detail.
Love Island star Chloe Burrows, 27, made sure to command attention by opting for a very racy gown, featuring sheer panels and cut outs.
Elsewhere, Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri also left little to the imagination in a lilac gown which boasted a corset bodysuit and a sheer skirt.
Her off-the-shoulder garment featured long sleeves as well as feather edging around the cuffs and bottoms of the skirt.
She toted her belongings around in a coordinated clutch and turned up the glamour with a dazzling necklace. She accessorised with a pair of silver earrings and styled her long blonde tresses in a neat half up-do.
It didn’t seem the most fashionable of nights for Love Island stars, with Shaughna Phillips also opting for a unique number.
The beaming TV personality sported a shimmering pink jumpsuit, with a seemingly clashing gold clutch and heels.
