Kara Tointon made a jaw-dropping entrance at the British Fashion Awards afterparty on Monday night, dazzling fans and photographers at the exclusive Chiltern Firehouse.
The 41-year-old actress turned heads in a striking red asymmetric minidress featuring a netted, layered skirt and a dramatic train behind her. The one-shoulder ensemble, paired with gold metallic Kurt Geiger heels and a matching clutch, showcased Kara’s chic and glamorous style.
She completed her look with sleek, wet-look bobbed hair and £118 gold hoop earrings from Astley Clarke, adding a touch of sophistication to her bold outfit.
The former EastEnders star exuded confidence as she joined other A-listers at the star-studded event after the prestigious British Fashion Awards ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall. Earlier in the evening, Kara posed effortlessly on the red carpet, again proving why she remains a style icon.
In a recent interview, Kara opened up about her evolving views on beauty and ageing. Embracing her 40s, she said, “I’m enjoying getting older and feeling good in my skin. Age is attractive, and growing into different roles as an actress is exciting.”
Kara, who shares two young sons, Frey, 5, and Helly, 3, with her ex-fiancé Marius Jensen, credited motherhood with reshaping her perspective on life. While her beauty regime has taken a backseat, she described the experience as grounding and fulfilling, adding, “Motherhood hits you like a punching bag, but it’s an amazing dose of reality.”
Her split from Marius in 2022 hasn’t slowed her down. Kara is focusing on her career and enjoying new opportunities in relatable motherly roles. “There’s so much more material now, and I love the transition into roles that reflect where I am,” she shared.
From her iconic soap roles to her role as a Strictly Come Dancing champion, Kara Tointon continues to captivate audiences both on screen and on the red carpet. Her stunning appearance at the afterparty cements her status as a timeless fashion muse.
