She shimmed on to the red carpet in a pair of sexy black specs that framed her pretty face and showed off her eyes to perfection.

But it wasn't the glasses that made Kara Tointon stand out but her very daring glittery green dress.

The actress, 27, arrived at the Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2011 party and got into the spirit of the night by wearing a pair of sexy secretary black-rimmed glasses.

Geek chic: Kara looked very pretty in her specs which flattered her face and her sparkling eyes

But unsurprisingly, all eyes were drawn to her plunging neckline which sank almost to her waist and left very little to the imagination and which she teamed with Michael Lewis shoes.

The Strictly Come Dancing champion was one of the celebrity guests at the event which was held at London's Battersea Power Station and was hosted by fashion guru Gok Wan.

Party girls: But while Nancy Sorrell got in the spirit of the evening by wearing her specs, Martine McCutcheon decided not to adorn a pair

She was also joined by TV presenter and wife of Vic Reeves, Nancy Sorrell, 37, who looked very chic in her black patterned shift dress and black-rimmed glasses.

Also attending was Nancy Dell'Olio, who didn't wear glasses but looked sensational in a strapless red dress with a split up her left leg.

You know that this is an event for bespectacled people, don't you girls? TOWIE's Lauren Pope and Lauren Goodger probably thought that some frame would clash with their outfits...

... but after possibly feeling a little left out, they got into the swing of things as they posed wearing fake pairs

Actress Martine McCutcheon wore a long animal print strapless dress which she teamed with a furry shawl, and former Atomic Kitten star Jenny Frost, who looked very sexy in her short cutaway black dress, and who arrived on her arm of her husband Vicente 'Vinnie' Juan Spiteri.

None of the girls wore specs to the event which was also attended by TOWIE girls Lauren Goodger and Lauren Pope, neither of whom were bespectacled either.

And your connection with the event is....? Jenny Frost arrived with her husband Vicente 'Vinnie' Juan Spiteri while Nancy Dell'Olio arrived alone but looked stunning in a strapless red dress

However, in an attempt to get into the swing of things, all four ladies were snapped wearing fake glasses as so not to feel to left out of proceedings.

Kara, who wears special dyslexia reading glasses, had helped launched the search for the UK's Spectacle Wearer of the Year in association with opticians Specsavers.

Do they suit us? Martine and Jenny were back in front of the cameras afterwards in their fake glasses

So it was only right that she wanted to be there in person to see and congratulate the winner, who was 18-year-old Lucy Stevenson from Scotland.

She joined The Wanted star Max George who was crowned the Celebrity Spectacle Wearer of the Year.
