Blackburn star and Big Brother host AJ Odudu strutted a new look at this year’s Fashion Awards in London, and it wasn’t any designer brand.

Rocking a red co-ord from Marks & Spencer, AJ’s tailored two-piece included a utility jacket and straight-leg trousers, and she didn’t look out of place among the high-end designers who surrounded her.

Having previously worked at the Blackburn M&S store, AJ previously revealed that growing up she mostly wore hand-me-downs as she was one of eight children.

She styled her hair into a stunning afro to match her monochrome look and wore a daring cropped utility jacket which was fastened at the neck.

Having just capped off a successful season of Big Brother, the former St Bede’s High School pupil appeared in Vogue in January.

In September, she was announced as the host for a new ITV show M&S: Dress The Nation, which was described as a ‘nationwide search’ for M&S’ next fashion design, alongside Horwich’s Vernon Kay.

The winner of the series will be offered an in-house junior designer role with M&S which will be built around their skillset and experience.

This year's fashion awards were hosted at the Royal Albert Hall on Monday evening, December 2 and were said to unite the global fashion community in London and to amplify leaders of change, celebrate excellence and support the next generation of creative talent.

Hosted by Maya Jama and Kojey Radical, the star-studded event saw Tom Ford win the Outstanding Achievement Award and Issa Rae collect the Pandora Leader of Change Award.

Other guests included power couple Rihanna and ASAP Rocky, singer Ellie Goulding, Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan and tennis superstar Venus Williams.

There were 15 awards up for grabs, including Designer of the Year, Model of the Year, British Menswear Designer of the Year, and British Womenswear Designer of the Year.
