The name of the event might have indicated the evening was all about the fellas. But when Rita Ora emerged on the red carpet for the GQ Men Of The Year Awards at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London on Tuesday the stunning star momentarily stole the show. Rita proved her style credentials in an amazing glittery gown with a revealing slit up the side, putting the singer's toned and tanned legs on show.

The evening dresses presented a small train and one-shoulder details. She finished off her look with simple yet elegant naked stilettos. Making sure the charm of her dress was similarly printed by her accessories, Rita carried over ￡600,000 worth of precious stone jewelry by Vashi Dominguez. Her pieces included a bracelets made from a sequence of 50 size, emerald-cut gemstones, a 10 size precious stone mixture ring, and a pair of 15 size precious stone drop ear-rings.

In fact, Rita’s bling was so expensive she had to have a security guard with her at all times on the red carpet. Her light blonde locks were worn in a quirky quiff that lead into a stylish up do with braids scattered throughout. Other stars rocking a lighter colour palette were Ellie Goulding, who stunned in a ruffled white gown, and Nicole Scherzinger who looked elegant in a strapless cream creation.

After the event, the star changed into an equally blingy romper suit, slashed to her navel, and matching silver high heels. The outfit revealed copious amounts of cleavage and presumably needed some sort of sticky tape to stop a wardrobe malfunction. A presenter at the event, she posed with Paolo Nutini, winner of the Special Achievement award and Andre Balazs, winner of the Entrepreneur of the Year award.

Meanwhile Kim Kardashian sent jaws dropping in a daring long formal dresses that showed off her ample décolletage in a custom-designed haute couture gown by Ralph & Russo, featuring a gunmetal tulle fishtail look with crystal hand-embroidery. No doubt Kim and Rita would be avoiding each other once again amid recent reports from TMZ that Kim wasn't too happy when she was seated just a couple of places from Rita, who dated Kim's brother Rob in 2012, at the VMAs late last month. The site wrote: 'Not wanting any drama, she asked producers to find her a different seat. We're told she wasn't a diva, she just didn't want to have to be social with Rita.'
