The style highs and lows of the NTAs 2015

The National Television Awards is one of the biggest nights for the glitterati of tellyland – and so making a statement on the red carpet is vital.

We take a look at some of the fashion trends of the evening.

Baby bumps

Baby bumps were one of the must have “accessories” of the evening, as modelled by Broadchurch star Jodie Whittaker, TV presenter Julia Bradbury (who’s having twins) and EastEnder Jacqueline Jossa.

Queens of green

One way to stand out on a red carpet is to wear a contrasting colour. And why go for boring black when you can shimmer in rich emerald.

Voluminous skirts

Gliding down the red carpet looks even better with a big skirt billowing behind you

Sexy suits

Some ladies shunned girly dresses for macho suits – and looked stunning.

You’ve been Tangoed

Orange can look great, and is on trend for this season. But it just clashes with the red carpet.

Kellie Bright (Doug Peters/EMPICS) — We love the shape of Kellie Bright’s 50s style dress, but the bright colour does not look good on the carpet (Doug Peters/EMPICS)

Sleek and chic in black

Is playing it safe in black too boring? With late Corrie star Anne Kirkbride being remembered, it was a sombre evening. And these ladies show why black is a timeless classic.
