Kick off the party season in an embellished skater dress

She beat off competition from Coronation Street’s Julie Hesmondhalgh, Emmerdale actress Lesley Dunlop and Michelle Keegan to be crowned Best Actress.

So it’s no surprise that Jacqueline Jossa wanted to dress to impress when she picked up the accolade at the Inside Soap Awards on Monday evening.

The EastEnders star turned heads in punky prom inspired dress featuring a tulle skirt and daring sheer back as she walked the red carpet at the event held at Ministry Of Sound. 

Making sure the dress took centre stage the actress wore her hair off her face in a sophisticated chignon, while she accentuated her eyes with smouldering eye make-up.


Jacqueline has been involved in some excellent story lines over the last year – including of course her character’s struggle with alcohol.

Different looks: Gemma Merna (L) wore a very eye-catching dress while Jennifer Metcalfe (R) covered up in black 

Sexy and chic: Jennifer's outfit made the most of her figure - showing off her very tiny waist

Trying the trends: Michelle Hardwick (L) opted for a cut-out dress, while Brooke Vincent simply wore an oversized blazer 

It was a successful evening for EastEnders as Tameka Empson was declared funniest female for her role as Kim Fox.


The soap also picked up two awards for its younger cast, with Khali Best named best newcomer as Dexter Hartman and Maisie Smith winning best young actor as Tiffany Butcher.


Jacqueline wasn’t however the the only soap star who tried to turn heads as they appeared on the red carpet.

Smartening up their acts: Stephanie Davis and Kieron Richardson who star in Hollyoaks made sure they dressed to impress for the occasion 

Softer side: Gemma Bissix, who plays Clare in Hollyoaks, opted for a cream dress with a gold belt

Daring: EastEnders actress Hetti Bywater showed off her very slim legs in a short dress featuring a plunging neckline

Co-stars: Gemma and Jennifer arrive in their figure-hugging outfits

Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote opted for a similar dress which featured an equally as intricate top.


Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe opted for a sophisticated ensemble showing off just a glimpse of her midriff in a cropped polo neck jumper with a below the knee skirt.


Her co-star Gemma Merna went for an entirely different look – leaving very little to the imagination in a PVC yellow dress with a chain neck detail.
