Vanessa Feltz looked glamorous as she enjoyed a night out with Lizzie Cundy at the Restaurant Association Gala Awards 2024 on Monday.
The broadcaster, 62, who recently weighed in on the misconduct claims against Gregg Wallace, wore a sheer sequin gown for the event.
Vanessa’s stunning dress featured a plunging neckline, embellished sleeves and a fish tail skirt.
Posing for photos at the Savoy Hotel, she was joined by Lizzie who opted for an elegant fitted gown.
The TV personality, 56, looked incredible in the black dress which boasted a mesh neckline and floral embroidery.
She topped off her outfit with a pair of opera gloves, carried a chain strap handbag, and added a bronzed makeup look.

This year’s event was a stand-out evening, generously supported by global sponsors, including Neft Vodka, Visit Malta, Fabergè, Champagne Piaff and Nth Degree.
A truly anticipated event for the hospitality industry in 2024, winners were spotlighted for their leadership and innovation, with the event proceeds benefiting the World Young Chef Young Waiter Education Foundation and the World Young Chef Young Waiter Young Mixologist competition, empowering the future of emerging talent in the global hospitality scene.
Robert Walton MBE, President of The Restaurant Association, commented: ‘It was such an honour to bring the whole industry together for the evening, who are all equally passionate about raising proceeds.
‘The foundation is whole- heartedly focused on protecting and nurturing the next generation of hospitality.’
Vanessa’s outing comes just hours after she became the latest star to speak out against Gregg, claiming he had described a sex act he had performed on his wife while in a BBC lift with her friend.
Speaking on her YouTube channel, she said: ‘My friend did not know Greg Wallace. Had never met him before, and in the lift was a young girl who worked on another show.
‘So the three of them were going up in the lift together and completely unprompted Greg Wallace described a sex act that he had performed on his then-wife that morning.
‘So my friend had not met Greg Wallace before, hadn’t asked him about his sex life. Was simply taking him to participate in a BBC programme, and the young lady in the lift was just an innocent passenger.’

She added: ‘So this is something that a very close friend and associate of mine told me about at the time. What did anyone do about it? Of course, absolutely nothing.’
MailOnline has contacted his representatives for comment.
Last week Gregg stepped away from hosting the show after nearly 20 years. His absence comes while allegations of inappropriate comments he made towards staff and celebrity guests over 17 years are investigated.
The presenter has defended himself against all the allegations against him, pinning the blame on ‘middle class women of a certain age’.
But on Monday he apologised for his controversial comments, admitting he was ‘not in a good head space’ when he posted the rant.
Banijay UK, the show’s production company, previously said the complaints were made to the BBC by ‘individuals in relation to historical allegations of misconduct while working with Gregg Wallace on one of our shows’.
The company said Wallace was ‘committed to fully co-operating throughout the process’.

‘Whilst these complainants have not raised the allegations directly with our show producers or parent company Banijay UK, we feel that it is appropriate to conduct an immediate, external review to fully and impartially investigate,’ the company said.
‘While this review is under way, Gregg Wallace will be stepping away from his role on MasterChef and is committed to fully co-operating throughout the process.
‘Banijay UK’s duty of care to staff is always a priority and our expectations regarding behaviour are made clear to both cast and crew on all productions, with multiple ways of raising concerns, including anonymously, clearly promoted on set.
‘Whilst these are historical allegations, incidences brought to our attention where these expectations are not met, are thoroughly investigated and addressed appropriately.’
