Ashley Roberts makes a head turning exit in a daring mesh corset as she and Emily Atack lead departures from BAFTAs Vanity Fair party
Ashley Roberts made a show-stopping exit from the BAFTAs Vanity Fair Rising Star pre-party at JOIA in London on Thursday night.
The Pussycat Doll, 41, and Emily Atack led the departures after a slew of celebrities celebrated the up and coming stars of film ahead of the ceremony on February 19.
All eyes were on Ashley, 41, who put on a daring display in a busty lilac corset with mesh paneling.
The Pussycat Dolls singer left little to the imagination as she showcased plenty of cleavage in the plunging number, while her lavender trousers were also sheer.
Ashley added a boost to her height with court shoes and accessorised her look with a silver clutch bag.

The Heart Radio host draped a black coat over her shoulders to take the edge off the chill as she headed home.
Emily, meanwhile, cut a glamorous figure in a strapless black bodycon dress with a white feathered trim.
The actress, 33, appeared in high spirits as she departed the venue with her clutch bag in hand before giving a friendly wave as she grabbed a taxi with a pal.
Laura Whitmore, 37, was also pictured leaving the soiree and looked effortlessly chic in an all black ensemble.
The former Love Island presenter stopped to talk to Dermot O’Leary and his wife Dee Koppang.
It was a late night for Dermot as the presenter usually fronts This Morning with Alison Hammond on Fridays.
Aisling Bea, Frankie Bridge and Zoe Hardman also looked stylish as they were pictured leaving.
Zoe put on a very leggy display in a pink mesh mini dress, while boosting her height in a pair of chunky heels. Naomie Ackie smiled as she headed to her awaiting taxi.

Jane Millichip, CEO at BAFTA, said: ‘Recognising and supporting creative talent is of the upmost importance to us at BAFTA which is why we are delighted to continue our partnership with EE and the EE Rising Star Award.
‘This year’s five nominees have displayed a breath-taking ability to tell stories and create characters that resonate with their audiences, and it’s now up to the British public to decide who will take home the award on 19th February.’
For the first time, the ceremony will include a live broadcast to reveal the final four category winners after previously being recorded and then broadcast on the same day.
Currently in the running is the Netflix anti-war epic All Quiet On The Western Front, which has been being longlisted in 15 categories.
The film, directed by Edward Berger and based on the 1929 novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque, features on the lists for best film and director.
Black comedy-drama The Banshees Of Inisherin, starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, is close behind with 14 nods.
Quirky science-fiction thriller Everything Everywhere All At Once and Baz Luhrmann’s biopic of Elvis are both longlisted in 12 categories.
