Turning heads, the Oxford graduate looked sensational in a pleated cream dress with off the shoulder detailing and a gold halter neck chain.

Featuring a sultry yet demure cut out at the waist, the Grecian looking gown cinched in with a matching belt before flaring out to full length.

Keeping her accessories simple, the brunette beauty opted for minimal jewellery and toted a small brown handbag.

Featuring blouson sleeves and a drop waist, the eye-catching gown skimmed over her enviable figure, falling just above a pair of patent nude courts. 

With her golden locks perfectly coiffed, the mother-of-two finished off the look with a small lilac satin purse.

A source at the event told MailOnline: ‘Jack was flirting up a storm with Dua at the party and didn’t care who saw them.

‘Although she was celebrating her win with her family and girlfriends, she was all about Jack as he whispered in her ear and had her giggling while the bash was in full swing.

The insider added: ‘She was loving the attention and kept her hand on his arm as she leaned into to chat. They never took their eyes off one another despite everyone partying around them.

‘It was clear to see that there was a lot of chemistry between them. Sparks were flying.’
