Emily Atack commanded attention in a white dress and bold leather long gloves as she posed with Rivals co-star Alex Hᴀssell ahead of the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday.
In a nod to the eighties fashion of Rivals, which has started pre production for season two, the actress looked incredible in the figure hugging number which boasted large shoulder pads and short sleeves.
She put on a leggy display through a thigh high split and elevated her frame in a pair of black stilettos.
Styling her long blonde tresses in waves, Emily toted her belongings in a satin black handbag.
The Inbetweens star was all smiles as she posed with Alex, who looked dapper in a black blazer and brown trousers complete with a brown bow tie.
Taking to Instagram, Emily admitted she might be warm in the leather long gloves as she penned: ‘Bafta Sunday. Gonna be a red H๏τ carpet’.
