Sheer delight: Laura Whitmore goes for see-through dress at Scottish Fashion Awards...while David Gandy kept it classic in a tuxedo

Celebrities gathered in central London last night for the annual Scottish Fashion Awards.
Stylish stars gathered at Dover House in Whitehall, including TV presenter Laura Whitmore who appeared in a fitted black dress with sheer paneling across the chest and midriff.
Earning herself substantial fashion points, she teamed the look with black, platform, strappy shoes and wore her blonde hair in a classy bun. Her only accessories were a simple clutch bag and a delicate bracelet.

Meanwhile, male model David Gandy kept it simple, structured and masculine in a black tuxedo with a contemporary bow tie. 
The Dolce & Gabbana star was likely enjoying his time there as an eligible bachelor after reportedly splitting from girlfriend of five months, Samantha Barks.
The heartthrob was last seen with the 23-year-old during London Fashion Week before the couple called time on their relationship due to conflicting schedules.

Meanwhile, socialite Mary Charteris, who has recently become the face of L'Oreal professional, was also in attendance - not least because she was named Scottish Model of the Year.
Wearing a floor-length metallic grey dress with a black shall, she opted for a streak of bohemia by sporting a band of flowers in her hair.

Sadly, her glamorous look was not entirely unique.
Edinburgh-born actress Louise Linton had a similar fashion idea. The blonde beauty, whose TV credits include CSI: NY and Lions for Lambs opposite Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep, wore a shimmering silver gown with a slit on the side.

Fortunately, Scottish TV presenter Jenni Falconer had a different idea - but only just. Also in a full-length dress, her outfit featured a black base with a salmon-pink body.
Alongside the likes of Amy Macdonald and Preeya Kalidas, they celebrated the best in Scotland's fashion.
