It should come as no surprise to learn that the Pride of Britain Awards are all about celebrating all things British… the clue is in the name after all!

However, it was the American Nicole Scherzinger who stole the sartorial show, as she floated along the red carpet in yet another stunning gown.

It’s fine though, as we’ve more or less adopted Nicole as one of our own now that she’s a judge on the UK version the X Factor. We didn’t think anything was going to top the sexy Julien Macdonald catsuit that the honourary Brit donned for the Halloween special of the talent show at the weekend, but this dress is also a good contender for ‘best Nicole look of the month.’

The gorgeous gown was elegant with its floor-length nature, demure (no bras or nipples on show!) but still so very sexy with its ultra-high split and lace detailing. There’s a lot that British women can learn from Nicole, so take note ladies…
