AJ Odudu joined Jourdan Dunn, Poppy Delevingne and Emma Weymouth at the premiere of Disney’s In Vogue: The 90s on Monday.
Taking place during London Fashion Week, the new documentary which started streaming last week, takes a look into the industry through the decade.
TV presenter AJ, 36, looked incredible in a very daring pale yellow gown with a deep plunging neckline.
She teamed the semi-sheer number with a pair of red PVC gloves and slicked her hair into a wet-look style.

The documentary speaks to former Vogue editors including Edward Enninful and celebrities such as supermodel Naomi Campbell, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker.
It also weighs in on Kate Moss’ rise, explaining how she disrupted the modelling scene in the early ’90s with her ‘heroin chic’ aesthetic – to the displeasure of other models.
The 50-year-old from Croydon, who became one of the most prominent models of her generation, initially received backlash from other top models, with fears that her meteoric rise to fame was hindering their opportunities.
Talking in the new Disney+ documentary, supermodel Tyra Banks explained: ‘We weren’t getting booked any more.
‘I remember being backstage of a fashion show in New York City and all the “supers” were like, “oh my god Calvin [Klein] didn’t book any of us, Calvin didn’t book any of us”, I remember the panic in all those supermodels’ faces’.
Famous models directed their anger at the new girl on the scene, with designer John Galliano also noting Kate being at the centre of a blame game.

Kate said: ‘I am mentioning no names! There was definitely a bit of “she has come along what’s going to happen to us”, they knew.
‘My first season at the shows I was a bit intimidated, they just seemed giants to me and I was scrawny and quite shy. But then Christy [Turlington] and Naomi [Campbell] took me under their wing’.
While not mentioning Kate directly, Linda Evangelista weighed in on the conversation during a backstage clip from the ’90s.
She said: ‘You have a hockey team, you don’t retire the whole team all at once, you bring in rookies one at a time, I mean it’s really nice to see these new girls’.
Despite feelings from other models, Kate’s look was initially shunned from industry figures, who were uncertain whether she could compete with the likes of Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington, known for their more for curvaceous, tall physiques.
Kate told a new Disney+ documentary: ‘Parents would come up to me and say, ‘My daughter’s anorexic’. It was awful.
‘I think because I was just skinny, and people weren’t used to seeing skinny. But if I’d been more buxom, it wouldn’t have been such a big deal. It’s just that my body shape was different from the models before me.’
The look became popular after the then 19-year-old posed in lingerie for the June 1993 issue of Vogue.
