Susanna Reid stuns in a blue gown at star-studded Soccer Aid gala
COME on you blues! Susanna Reid wowed in a figure-hugging gown last night as she attended the star-studded Soccer Aid gala.
The 48-year-old is co-managing the England team with Sam Allardyce and will go up against her GMB co-host Piers Morgan who is managing the Soccer Aid World XI squad alongside Harry Redknapp.

But the presenter has already scored in the fashion stakes as she stepped out in the fitted dress with a sexy slash detail across the chest.
The bold blue dress highlighted her recent two stone weight loss, which she achieved after giving up booze, as it fitted her stunning figure perfectly.
The single star completed her look with loose beachy waves and bronze make-up, which accentuated her natural beauty.
She was joined at the bash by other players including Mark Wright and Joe Wicks.

Speaking about the match, Piers said: "I think Susanna will be too soft and worry about how the players are feeling whereas I will be pushing my team to win.
"Losing is not an option and I look forward to having bragging rights over Susanna for at least a year!"
Susanna said she was "most looking forward to the look on Piers' face when the England Soccer Aid team has beaten him".

But she said Piers was likely to be "insufferable" if his side does win.
While Susanna dazzled in blue, Piers spent much of last night's event snapping selfies with the other celebrity attendees.
The outspoken star shared a series of pictures to his Instagram account, including ones of him with One Direction's Niall Horan, Usain Bolt, and Ant Middleton.

Celebrities and former football players including Michael Owen, Eric Cantona, Jamie Redknapp, Didier Drogba, Sir Mo Farah, Mark Wright, James McAvoy and Martin Compston will take to the pitch for the match on June 16.
Women will also take part in Soccer Aid for the first time this year, with ex-internationals Rachel Yankey and Katie Chapman signed up to the England squad.
For the first time, the match will feature a half-time performance from Unicef UK Ambassador Rita Ora, who also features in one of this year's short films highlighting the work made possible through donations to Soccer Aid for Unicef, and why the donations are needed more than ever.
