Last night, Rebecca Adlington and Jessica Ennis joined the UK’s top sports stars for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards in Belfast, giving both Olympic gold medalists the chance to prove how style-savvy they are.
We have to applaud Adlington’s look first. The 26-year-old swimmer proved she doesn’t need to don a designer number to steal the spotlight on the red carpet, as she opted to wear a Fame and Partners dress from ASOS for the occasion.

At £150, the plunging lace gown may cost more than most of our ASOS purchases but it’s one worth considering when you see how good it looks on Adlington – and it’s currently in the sale for £105.
Featuring a floral lace bodice with long sleeves and a plunging neckline as well as a long flowing skirt, it was the perfect pick for the black tie event. The Olympic medalist teamed the dress with natural make-up and swept her hair up into a loose updo.

Meanwhile track and field pro Ennis-Hill opted for a short-sleeved and short-skirted frock in the style of a winter prom dress.
Boasting a floral lace bodice in black and blue and an A-line block colour skirt, it showed off the mum-of-one’s incredibly toned arms and legs. The 29-year-old donned a pair of strappy black heels and kept her hair loose, in soft curls.

Black was clearly the colour of the night, as a number of other stars donned the hue in a variety of styles.
Singer Ella Henderson, who was performing at the event, wore a sultry, floor-sweeping number similar to Adlington’s and Paula Radcliffe showed some skin in a one-shoulder column dress.
