Soapstars sparkled extra brightly at last night’s British Soap Awards - with many of the serial dramas’ leading ladies stepping out in glitzy metallics for their big night.

Michelle Keegan scooped the Sexiest Soap Female award again, and you can see why as she dazzles the paparazzi in her glamourous gold gown. Many designers, such as Cynthia Rowley and Rebecca Taylor, featured silver, gold and sparkly beadwork in their Spring/Summer 2012 catwalk shows and Chado Ralph Rucci’s collection saw dazzling silver jackets paired with stark white trousers, while Giles paired short-sleeved white blouses with metallic pencil skirts proving that the best way to wear metallics is with a neutral item and minimal accessories.

Not only is metallic a massive fashion trend this season, but Vogue and Harpers Bazaar have included smokey metallic eyes and sparkly metallic nails as their key beauty looks for Spring/Summer.
