It's usually the reserve of British songwriters and performers.

But Courteney Cox injected some Hollywood glamour into the Ivor Novello Awards as she arrived in style on Thursday.

The Friends star, 51, stole the show at the usually subdued event in more than one way - she suffered a wardrobe malfunction and flashed her thong underwear in a sheer skirt.

She's got Friends there: Courteney Cox injected some Hollywood glamour into the Ivor Novello Awards as she arrived in style on Thursday

The brunette beauty looked chic in a simple ensemble, which featured a fitted shirt tied at the waist and a long maxi.

But when the camera flashed turned on her - she was left flashing as well.

The Friends actress was an unexpected guest at the bash as she turned out to support her on-again fiancé Johnny McDaid at the prizegiving. He one of the writers nominated for Best Song as part of the team behind Ed Sheeran's Bloodstream.

However, the Snow Patrol rocker let his lady take centre stage as Courteney arrived solo before being joined by a male pal.

She was just one of the big names at the event, which celebrates the best of British music.

Courteney's style has been on our radar for years. She loves a good monochromatic color scheme, injecting flashes of sexiness it subtle ways.

So when she stepped out today in this black and white ensemble, it seemed pretty par for the course. Regardless of how stunning Courteney looked, we don't see ourselves wearing a sheer maxi skirt anytime soon, but that's because all ours were on her Saint Laurent cross-body purse.

This tiny little style champion makes a statement with it's shiny gold hardware and chain tassel detail.

And the best part? We can get our hands on one too by clicking the link on your right to shop the exact one for $1550 at FWRD.
