The O2 Arena was flooded with well-dressed stars on Wednesday night from Strictly stars to soap actors to celebrate the National Television Awards. But it was Call the Midwife actress Laura Main who caught our eye.
The star, who plays Shelagh Turner in the BBC fan favourite drama, looked beautiful in a white gown which will feel familiar to royal followers. The actress took to the red carpet in a floor-length Suzannah London dress which the Duchess of Edinburgh wore to Royal Ascot this summer.

Royal fashion inspiration
