Chloe Kelly shows off her toned abs in very bold outfit as England Lionesses star attends MTV Europe Music Awards

CHLOE KELLY shines in blue at the Etihad - but fans reckon she dazzles even brighter on red just down the road.

The Manchester City winger was called "seriously hot" in a tiny crop-top, mini shorts and high boots on the red carpet for an MTV bash at the town's Co-op Live Arena.

One fan raved: "Models be grateful Chloe Kelly chose football" - as the Lionesses star showed taut abs in one of the event's most daring outfits.

The 26-year-old had sparkled in a full-length white gown at her wedding to long-term partner Scott Moore in July.

Then last month England chief Sarina Wiegman told the ex-Everton ace she remains in her plans despite a tough fight for a City starting role this season.

And there are no question marks over her place in the hearts of her huge following on social media.

"Cooking on and off the pitch," said one fan on seeing snaps of Kelly and her taut abs at the MTV European Music Awards on Sunday night - which saw stars including Maya Jama, Rita Ora and Vick Hope also shine.

Continuing the theme, another observer posted: "On and off the pitch slaying."

"She looks so perfect," claimed a third admirer.

Other reactions included "Actually insane"... "Gorgeous"... and "Damn".

Extra-time matchwinner Kelly rated England's Euro 2022 glory as the "best day of her life" - celebrating by whipping off her top for an iconic image.

But that's surely changed now.

Her smile sparkled as much as her dress when tying the knot with former Everton groundsman Moore four months ago.

Fellow top footballers Steph Houghton and Ruby Mace were bridesmaids.

And now she's conquering red carpets as well as winning silverware - with City eyeing their first WSL crown since 2016.
