Victorious: After months of stellar performances, Jennifer Hudson's act, Mo Adeniran was crowned the winner of The Voice UK during Sunday night's live final
Look lovely in lace by Alessandra Rich
It was the final of The Voice and judge Jennifer Hudson certainly dressed up for the occasion.
The pop superstar looked killer in this very revealing dress by Alessandra Rich, a designer she wore just last week for her performance at G.A.Y. nightclub in London and who has clearly become a favorite.
In sheer black and golden lace and with a very plunging neckline there's actually a lot of skin on show considering it's a full length gown and we love the sparkling embellishment at both the neck and the waist. Blingy, romantic and super sexy all in one!
The good news for anyone who wants to make a serious statement and who's feeling flush is Jennifer's gown is available to buy now at Farfetch, so simply click (right) to make it yours in time for your next big event.

It was no doubt a bittersweet moment for Jennifer, whose second act Jamie Miller finished in third place. Tom Jones' group Into The Ark were the runners-up.
Speechless after the results were announced, Mo said: 'Thank you everyone at home, just want to say thank you to Jennifer and all the coaches.
'An amazing thank you to the most phenomenal person I have ever met, thank you Jennifer.'

It came as no surprise to see he scooped the win on the night, as he has long been the bookies favourite.
Mo impressed the judges and the viewing public with his renditions of Iron Sky by Paolo Nutini AND Unsteady by X Ambassadors, in the final.
After his performance of Iron Sky, Jennifer reasoned: 'If that is not a representation of what The Voice is about then I don't know what is. It's timeless and it's not something that comes about all the time.'

Mo has won a life-changing record deal with Polydor Records and the company immediately took to Twitter to congratulate him.
Polydor tweeted: 'CONGRATS TO @imjustcalledmo FOR WINNING THE VOICE UK! We'll be seeing you soon (sic).'
Victorious: It came as no surprise to see he was awarded the accolade, as he was the bookies favourite on the night
Earlier in the programme, the three acts had been whittled down to two, with Jennifer's second act, Jamie Miller, being eliminated despite his pitch perfect rendition of Ed Sheeran's Shape Of You.
In his opening VT, he was full of kind words for his mentor as he revealed: 'I started believing in myself the minute you pressed the button.
'Working with Jennifer is so amazing, she's the most caring down-to-earth person.'
And Jennifer was also full of praise following his performance of Ed Sheeran's Shape Of You, as she gushed: 'I wanted to cry, he's a superstar. You owned it. This is your moment, this is your night.'

Flustered host Emma Willis was forced to apologise for the mishap, saying: 'There may have been a little swear word that popped out then through excitement – apologies to anybody if they were offended.'
Yet whilst the 'excitement' on stage may have been to blame for the swearing, that was only the first blunder of the night, as within moments of the announcement, the stage was invaded by a fan waving a placard.
He was removed swiftly seconds later by burly security guards, with host Emma ignoring the chaos on stage.
