Ellie Goulding wowed as she attended the BMI London Awards at the Savoy Hotel on Monday.

The singer, 35, looked sensational in a figure hugging black gown as she posed up a storm on the red carpet.

The stunning frock boasted a high neck, large shoulder pads and was completed with racy thigh-high split. 

The star-studded evening saw the Lights hitmaker presented with the President’s Award to honour her exemplary contribution to music and songwriting. 

Ellie opted for a glamorous palette of make-up for the event with a smokey eye, lashings of mascara and glossy lip. 

She tied her blonde tresses back from her beautiful face into a long and stylish braid.

She shares her toddler, 16 months, with her Eton and Oxford-educated art dealer husband Caspar Jopling, 30, and she says he helps to calm the frantic states which have ‘dictated quite a lot of my life and career’.

Ellie’s anxiety ramped up when she became a mother and she says it’s been made more ‘intense’ by ‘the current climate and what’s going on in the world’. 

She explained to the Mirror: ‘My anxiety just went off the chart. It felt like it reached new heights of panic and fear.

‘If you haven’t had a panic attack, it’s so hard to describe and explain but it’s just so overwhelming…

‘It’s some kind of survival mechanism to you and your kid. You want to survive as much as possible for them and you also want them to survive, so you’re kind of fighting for both of you. It’s a lot.

She added that giving her son ‘cuddles and hanging out with him’ eases her troubles, saying the joy her offspring brings her is ‘off the chart’.
