Alex Scott was dressed to the nines to do her part hosting Soccer Aid on Sunday evening – looking incredible in a figure-hugging red latex dress.
The skintight midi, which is from the Saint Laurent Autumn/Winter 2020 collection, made quite the statement – with Alex teaming the look with high-heeled pumps and her hair down in long, loose waves.
She added smokey makeup and minimal gold jewellery to finish her on-screen outfit, which prompted plenty of reaction from fans on social media.

"Oh look Alex Scott is trending because, let’s see, some men don’t like a knowledgeable black woman who was a superstar in her sport talking about football, oh and because she wore a dress. She’s rightly here to stay, so jog on," one wrote.

Alex isn't alone in loving her Saint Laurent outfit – since a number of other stars have also rocked the shape-hugging dress. Frankie Bridge and Davina McCall have also sported the daring frock in the UK, while actress Gal Gadot also wore the dress on the cover of Vanity Fair in October 2020.
Singer Addison Rae also previously sported it on Jimmy Kimmel Live back in 2021.
Following her night presenting at Soccer Aid on Sunday, Alex also appeared on Loose Women on Monday, as she prepares to release her new memoir How (Not) To Be Strong.

The football star teared up during the interview, saying: "It's weird because obviously the paperback comes out tomorrow and I was like, 'No, I'm in a better place, I can talk about it'. But straight away you have the visuals and you go straight back to those moments, which are hard."
She added of her experiences: "You're just laying in bed hearing everything and just praying and hoping that your mum is going to be alive in the morning... and then once she is and you're in an environment where you're controlled and not being able to show love, what can you do?
"That's why my mum is everything and I wanted to give her the world. Survivors of domestic violence and abuse, their life is stripped from them. They think they're cowards and I want to show my mum, and I can't stop telling her how incredible and amazing she is and she isn't a coward and she actually saved me and my brother."
