Gallery: British Soap Awards: Michelle Keegan, Jennifer Metcalfe, Brooke Vincent and more

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.

See the gallery below for all the red carpet style.
