When you're battling with scores of other sexy female celebrities for the red carpet cameras, it's a good idea to make sure you're wearing something that will definitely stand out.

Which Abbey Crouch clearly had in mind as she got dressed for the GQ Awards last night - even if it looked like she hadn't got dressed at all.

The model, 25, arrived at the bash in London in an outfit that left very little to the imagination.

What's happened to your dress, Abbey? Mrs Crouch leave little to the imagination in a lacy number as she arrives at the GQ Men of the Year Awards

The black lacy number by Emanuel Ungaro barely covered her, revealing her bra and knickers underneath the flimsy lacy mesh and tassels.

She sent the flashbulbs into a frenzy as she walked down the red carpet at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden in towering black heels.

The desired effect: If Abbey wanted all eyes on her last night, then that's certainly what she got

And while the attention-grabbing dress may not have been suitable for the cool windy evening, it had the desired effect on the crowds who were waiting to glimpse a few celebs but couldn't keep their eyes off the Liverpudlian model.

It also showed off her sensational figure, which she has managed to regain just six months after giving birth to her first child, daughter Sophia.

She was without footballer husband Peter Crouch, and arrived alone at the event, which honours and recognises the most influential and debonair men of the year.

Speaking to the MailOnline about being a new mother Abbey said: 'It's amazing, I love every minute of it, being a mother is the best job in the world.'

And Abbey certainly made the most of the evening off parenting duties as she supped of the champagne and Tanquera gin cocktails.

And while all eyes were on Mrs Crouch, she also had to do battle with the other girls who arrived with their men on their arms and looked equally as sensational.

Daisy Lowe also opted for lace but her dress was less revealing that Abbey's, even though it clung to her curvaceous figure in all the right places.

They stepped out onto the red carpet looking polished to perfection and sporting seriously stylish looks.

But while The Saturdays wowed at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards ceremony they weren’t in the mood to stick around for the after-party.

Rochelle Wiseman, Una Healy, Frankie Sandford, Vanessa White and Mollie King were quick to exit the plush bash heading for the May Fair hotel.

Not in the mood to party? Frankie Sandford and her bandmates left the GQ Awards and had a make- under at the May Fair hotel before heading home

And within minutes the band emerged following a quick make under stepping out in the day-to-day clothes.

Frankie emerged from the hotel covered up in a pair of jeans, knee high boots, a leather jacket, a red leopard print scarf and was carrying a black Hermes Birkin bag.

And while the singer still had her red-carpet ready make-up on her ensemble was a far cry from her glamorous asymmetrical LBD which boasted a dipping back and ruffled detail which she teamed with a pair of sparkling silver sandals.

Mollie, who had also opted for a little black dress which she had teamed with bright pink lips and peep toe Louboutins, emerged from the hotel in jeans and a Lavish Alice blouse.

Heading home: Una emerged in jeans and a floral blouse after looking glam in her daring dress at the awards

Una Healy had opted for a daring and different look at the GQ Awards in a sparkling black and pink dress with cut out neckline and piping detail.

The Irish singer emerged from the hotel in a floral blouse and jeans as she headed for home carrying the goody bag, which contained a whole host of men’s grooming products.

But after a quick dress down post-party she headed for home in balck and white checked skirts and a leather jacket.

Vanessa White had stepped out in a supershort black dress with grey patterned detail, a wide waist belt and Aldo heels, teaming her ensemble with dramatic purple lips.

Only Rochelle, who had showed off her wild side in a plum leopard print dress by Dolce and Gabbana which she had matched with a pair of dramatic heels and dark vampish lips remained in her awards ceremony attire to make the journey home.

While the girls didn’t stay at for the after-party, which is likely to be down to their busy promotional schedule for their new single All Fired Up, they nearly didn’t make it at all.

The girls were waiting for their outfits at the May Fair hotel earlier in the evening but with the clock ticking down the singers were told their ensembles had been sent to their record label in Kensington instead.
