When one dress simply isn't enough! Catherine Tyldesley

She started off her night wearing blue as she looked anything but sad while stepping out to a fashion show on Thursday.
But not content with just one outfit, Catherine Tyldesley stole the spotlight at the Nadine Merabi's collection when she dazzled in a plunging champagne gown.
And the newly-single 29-year-old appeared to be putting her break-up with Sam Witter behind her as she took centre stage in an eye-popping number.

Wearing her blonde hair down in loose curls to one side, Catherine accessorised her look with a pair of triangular drop earrings and good heels.
Opening the show and wishing her friend Nadine well, Tyldesley had all eyes on her.
Sending her congratulations to the fashion designer, she tweeted: 'Stunning show @NadineMerabi. You just get better and better my darling. Love you #proud xxx'.
On arrival to the event, the Coronation Street star showed off her trim shape in the royal blue dress and beamed at photographers.
The actress teamed her bold dress with an orange clutch bag and a pair of matching suede heels.

News of Catherine's split from Sam emerged last week.
In addition to being her boyfriend, 22-year-old Sam was also Catherine's personal trainer and business partner, with the pair owning a company together, Dream Partners Limited, and planning to bring out fitness DVDS later this year.
A source told the Daily Mirror: 'They have just grown apart. The age gap was an issue because they want different things.'

'She's never felt sexier!' Samia Ghadie

She hit headlines on Saturday when she and boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon made their official debut as a couple.
But Samia Ghadie also attracted attention for another reason as she attended the wedding of her Coronation Street co-star Helen Worth.
The 30-year-old actress chose a tight dress to show off her boosted cleavage after reportedly going under the knife and having a £4.000 boob job two weeks ago.

According to reports, Samia has gone from an A-cup to a C-cup following the procedure.
A source told 'Samia has gone up a few sizes as a confidence boost. She's not trying to be the new Jordan. She's pleased with the results and has never felt sexier..'
According to sources, Samia had been thinking about having the operation after the birth of her daughter Freya in 2009 left her self-conscious about her flat chest.

Debut: Samia chose a figure-hugging patterned dress to display the results of her operation as she attended the nuptials with boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon

And Samia even said in a recent interview that she was relying on padded bras to add to her curves during her appearance on Dancing On Ice, saying: 'My boobs have all but disappeared!
'I’ve asked them to put extra padding in the bras of all my costumes. I’m not trying to be the show’s sex symbol.
'Pamela Anderson might have had the edge on me in that department. That’s why I’ve asked for the extra padding.'
According to The Sun, Samia had her operation at Manchester's Transform Pines Hospital during a brief break from filming Coronation Street.
Samia displayed the results of the reported operation by sporting a figure-hugging green and yellow sleeveless dress as she and Sylvain attended the nuptials.
Holding hands, the couple basked in their love for each other outside St. James' Church in London.
A representative for Samia declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.

She's had a less than successful run of things recently when it comes to her acting career.
But after landing her first-ever movie role, Helen Flanagan celebrated her change in luck by wearing an attention-grabbing skirt emblazoned with the word 'Pow!' as she headed out in Cheshire on Saturday.
Helen teamed the comic book style pencil skirt with a black vest top, white cinch belt and bright orange cardigan as she ran errands in Alderley Edge.

The 22-year-old star finished off her outfit with a pair of black flip flops to make the most of the first signs of Spring, and two designer handbags.
Helen's outing came as it was revealed The former Coronation Street star has landed her first big screen role in a gritty project entitled Bitch - about a victim of bullying.
Revealing the role, Helen said: 'It's really gritty and it's terrible actually because it's based on a true story. It’s tragic. The girls who did it are in prison now.'

But following the film, Helen is keen to try her luck in a more comedic role.
Asked if she'd ever return to her role as Rosie Webster in Coronation Street, Helen said: 'Yeah, I'd never rule anything out. Obviously my character was a comedy character and it's really sweet when people say they miss me on Corrie.
'Comedy is something that I'd like to get into.'

Helen also revealed that she's open to the idea of doing more reality TV after appearing on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! last year, and says the experience has boosted her self-confidence and helped rid her of her anxiety.
She added to Star magazine: 'I really enjoyed doing 'I'm a Celebrity'... because when I left Coronation Street I wasn't in the best place, and I just wanted a break from everything.
'So when that came up I just saw it as a great opportunity and it gave me my confidence back. It was really nice when people tell me that they loved me in that, it does give you confidence.
'The good thing about reality TV is that you're just being yourself.'

Helen and Trevor had been dating for over a year before their engagement was revealed in April 2012 after they went public when Helen opened a fair at the Surrey primary school where former church organist Trevor works.

A friend told The People at the time: 'She wants every detail to be perfect for her big day'.

Along with having been married once before in real life, Helen has also been wed five times onscreen so she must be somewhat of an expert on wedding ceremonies by now.
