We’ve been so focused on all the Hollywood glamour that we’ve forgotten the leading ladies in the world of soap.
Yes, we know we have a giggle at various awards when the garish dresses come out, but this year’s soap awards proved that some of these ladies really know how to dress, so we’ve decided that over the next few weeks we’ll be having a closer look at some of these soap stars.
Kicking off our mini soap series is Brooke Vincent. The actress who plays Sophie Webster in Corrie caught our attention when she turned up the the British Soap Awards in a lime green Lipsy dress. However, she showed she was a girl after our own hearts when we heard that she’d customised the frock herself with crystals.
On the topic of her red carpet dresses, the soap starlet is often seen in classic designs ranging from 50s tea lengths to that classic LBD. Of course these are a far cry from the garish almost WAG style frocks her character wears.
Off the red carpet Brook keeps it simple opting for on-trend designs such as block colours and punk style tees. That’s what we call soap star style.
See the gallery below for all her star style.
We love the British Soap Awards. Usually because it’s a chance for us to get a little bit critical and laugh about the garish red carpet fashions.
However, this year it seems the soap elite have wised up, with hardly a lady putting a high heeled foot wrong on Saturday’s red carpet.
Leading the way was Hollyoak’s starlet Jennifer Metcalfe who went for a Cheryl Colesque black backless pantsuit. She led the backless tone for the rest of her ‘Oaks cast with Jorgie Porter opting for this look with a green pantsuit, and Stephanie Waring going for a backless grey frock.
Also flying the flag for the teen soap was Jackie Cooper who went for a white plunge neck frock with a split, she was joined in the white dress stakes by ‘Enders starlet and best actress winner Jessie Wallace who looked stunning in a white Grecian frock complete with an embellished neckline, while her co-star Shona McGarty went for a questionable purple frock, which showed off her midriff.
Over in the Corrie camp, we were disappointed by Michelle Keegan’s garish gold frock, however, Brooke Vincent’s lime green Lipsy frock, with her own customised beading saved the soap in terms of style.
Trend wise, Sarah Dunn and Suzanne Shaw flew the flag for 50s tea length and pleats, while Samia Smith had a play with the colour block trend.

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a soap star, or just simply want to wear something they have been spotted in then we may have some good news for you.
Coronation Street starlet was snapped wearing this gorgeous dress at the TV Quick and TV Choice awards, and we’re sure you’ll agree she looks gorgeous.
We tracked down the dress, which is from Forever Unique and is a bargain at £150. It also comes in white for those of us who want a change from the little black dress.
