On Thursday evening (13 October), everyone from Love Island contestants to This Morning presenters and Strictly Come Dancing champions descended on London’s Wembley Arena for the event.
While some were forced to miss the event, including presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly who tested positive for Covid-19, there were still plenty of stars who graced the red carpet – and looked good doing so.
Below we chart the best red carpet looks from the NTAs for 2022.
Holly Willoughby
The This Morning presenter went for the full Cinderella look with this black ballgown from Yolancris.
The dress by the bridalwear designer included a strapless neckline and 3D florals cascading down the centre of the dress.
Rochelle Humes
Rochelle Humes went for a monochromatic look for this year’s NTAs.
The television personality wore a look by Athens couture house, Celia Kritharioti, which included a bow crop top and a figure-hugging black and white skirt.
Maya Jama
The new host of Love Island donned a one-shoulder white gown for the event, with an oversized top and fishtail skirt.
Maya Jama was named as the new host of the reality TV series earlier on Thursday after former host Laura Whitmore stepped down after this year’s season.

Television personality Katie Piper channelled old Hollywood with her floral gown and with her hair in vintage waves.
The dress itself was vintage Gai Mattiolo and she paired it with black Jimmy Choo heels.

Alison Hammond
The This Morning presenter looked like the definition of “glam” in her shimmering maroon gown.
She paired the look with a high ponytail for an elegant finish.

The former Love Island contestant took “cut out dress” to the next level with this long-sleeved white gown which had just two strips of coverage over her torso.
Maura Higgins completed the look with two metallic cuff bracelets and her hair in a messy updo.
Gemma Owen
This year’s Love Island runner-up Gemma Owen attended the NTAs with her father Michael Owen on Thursday evening where the pair presented an award.
The younger Owen dazzled in an embellished gold gown and with her hair in a sleek loose look.

Kate Garraway and Darcey Mary Draper
Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway brought along her daughter Darcey to the awards where she picked up the gong for her documentary, Caring for Derek.
Wearing a stunning silver gown, Garraway praised husband Derek Draper’s “fighting spirit” after she revealed that he was back in hospital with sepsis this week.
