After accepting her award, Ellie posed up a storm on the red carpet in a quirky white dress, which boasted fringed detailing along the hem and sleeves of the garment. 

Ellie teamed the eye-catching dress with a pair of strappy white heels which were tied around her ankles with satin ribbons and boasted feathered tassels.

The star's choice of outfit flaunted her gym-honed pins as she strutted her way into the awards ceremony which was being held in the capital city.

She wore her signature blonde locks in loose beachy waves, while accentuating her naturally pretty features with a neutral pallet of make-up.

In contrast to Ellie's flowing white frock, Jade opted to wear a more form-fitting outfit as she arrived at the event wearing a one-shoulder black mini dress.

Jade put on a leggy display in the structured dress with a statement shoulder piece, as the thigh-grazing garment highlighted her enviable limbs. 

Keeping her outfit simple, the songstress simply teamed her look with a pair of black strappy sandals which added some extra inches to her pint-sized frame.
