Jodie Kidd flaunts her slim figure in sexy leather dress with contrasting red shoes as she heads out in London's Mayfair

Just last month she revealed that she'd turned down the chance to host Top Gear.

But that didn't stop Jodie Kidd vying for pole position in the fashions stakes when she stepped out in a form-fitting leather dress for an evening in Mayfair, London, on Monday night.

The 36-year-old model put on a leggy display as she donned the all-black leather panelled dress as she attended the star-studded Amanda Wakeley and British Vogue dinner at Harry's Bar.

Attending the 25th Anniversary celebrations of the fashion designer's label, Jodie - who was one of the favourites to join Chris Evans on the new Top Gear - flaunted her curves as well as her legs in the striking black garment.

Donning a pair of contrasting red Valentino stilettos, the model and TV personality added an extra few inches to her statuesque figure, as well as highlighting her tanned and toned legs.

Accessorizing with a jazzy handbag, a collection of gold jewellery and a watch, Jodie rounded her outfit off with  a simple pendent necklace.

Never one to miss a party, the 82-year-old screen icon attended the bash alongside her fifth husband, and even snapped a picture of Yasmin, Jodie and Percy.

Uploading the photo to Twitter, she joked: 'Percy having miserable time with Yasmin Le Bon & @RealJodieKidd- oh the poor guy [sic]!'

Also making an appearance at the party was Liz Hurley, accompanied by rumoured former flame Mark Reynolds, who dressed in a stunningly tight, strapless black dress.

'It would be completely all consuming': After turning down Top Gear, Jodie looked  keen to move on after the numerous rumours surrounding her involvement in a new series of the show

'It would be completely all consuming': After turning down Top Gear, Jodie looked  keen to move on after the numerous rumours surrounding her involvement in a new series of the show

Obviously keen to move on after the numerous summer rumours surrounding her possible involvement in a revamped series of Top Gear, Jodie looked in suitably high-spirits as she mingled.

Talking about her decision to say no to the offer of co-hosting the hugely successful Motoring show, Jodie told the Daily Telegraph in August that she didn't want her life to be consumed by the show.

She explained: 'Top Gear is the most brilliant show on this planet but it would just take over your soul... it would be completely all-consuming.'

However, it appears that her decision to turn down presenting the motoring monster alongside Chris Evans was a recent decision, and a difficult one too, as she said: 'Everyone every day has been asking me, am I doing it? Am I doing it? I am not, okay.'

Jodie's decision not to take on the role is surprising, after she rubbished claims the show - which was previously hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May - wouldn't work with a female host.
