Underneath, she wore a red halterneck dress with smaller pink polka dots and completed her look with bright red socks.

It was Sir Lenny Henry’s final appearance as host of Red Nose Day after nearly four decades at the helm.
The comedian and actor, 65, co-founded Comic Relief in 1985 with Love Actually screenwriter Richard Curtis and will continue to serve as life president.
Sir Lenny said: ‘The money that people have sent in repeatedly, every time, has helped more than 100 million people.
“That’s a lot of people and there aren’t many organizations that can say that.”
He added: “If you helped with that, thank you and it’s not about numbers anymore.
“It’s about what you think you can give, because we know there’s a battle going on right now. People are having a hard time.’

Lenny has been in a relationship with theater director Lisa Makin for more than a decade since his marriage to Dawn French ended in divorce.
The money raised by Red Nose Day will go to organizations helping to tackle homelessness, poverty and mental health, along with other causes in Britain and around the world.

Among them were: Lenny in Luther, Lenny against Tom Jones and Lenny against Frank Bruno.
He ended the show by revealing how much money Comic Relief had raised since it was founded in 1988.
