Newly-single Tess Daly, 57, cuts a chic figure in a navy flared velvet suit as she leads the stars at the Hello! Magazine Power List party

Tess Daly has been making the most of her free schedule since stepping down from Strictly Come Dancing.

And the presenter sported yet another stylish look as she led the stars in attendance at the Hello! Magazine Power List party at Mazarine Mayfair on Tuesday.

Tess, 57, slipped into a chic navy blue velvet suit and a metallic silver top as she arrived for a night to celebrate some of the influential women in showbusiness. 

She teamed her look with matching gold heels and a YSL clutch bag as she arrived solo for the party.

Other stars in attendance included Carol Vorderman, who showed off her curves in a form-fitting grey dress, while Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath slipped into a glamorous red satin gown. 

Guests raised a glass to one another with free-flowing pours of award-winning Gusbourne Sparkling Wine, while those opting for an alcohol-free toast enjoyed the deliciously crisp Wild Idol Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Wine. 

Over at the bar, mixologists shook up bespoke cocktails using Cygnet Gin alongside vibrant aperitifs from Club Mera Aperitivo. 

Davina McCall, Power List's 2025 honouree who is renowned for her irrepressible approach to midlife, attended the event with husband Michael Douglas. 

She said: 'I love coming here, I love what you do, looking around at all these women who've all been through so many calamities - I wouldn't miss it, I'm coming every year… It's liberating. 

When I see other women behaving exactly how they want, I think. ''Oh, that means I can do that.'' Or when I meet 40-year-olds, I want to go, ''this is what nearly 60 looks like.'' How lucky I am!'

Tess said: 'It's amazing to be here tonight at the Power List. I love HELLO! And I want to come back next year. 

'I just think it's wonderfully inspiring to be in a room full of women who are here to support each other. They're here to lift each other up. 

'And I think there is no greater power than that. Everywhere I look in here tonight I see a woman who I respect and admire.

'And that is why we're here today. To lift each other up, celebrate each other and our achievements.'

Katherine Ryan's speech was met with whooping and cheering, as she spoke to her fellow honourees saying: 'I just think that women grow in value. with every passing day, not the other way around.'

Tess has been enjoying a string of nights out since it was revealed earlier this year that she and husband Vernon Kay have split after 22 years of marriage. 

Her outing comes after Strictly got off to a shaky start – as new hosts Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe failed to deliver the ratings boost BBC bosses had hoped for.

But it seems the trio have finally found a set-up that works.

Viewers hailed the chemistry between Emma and Johannes as they presented together for the first time on Sunday – and claimed Josh has finally 'found his natural home'.

Ever since the hit BBC dance show returned to the box two weeks ago, Emma, Johannes and Josh have been heavily scrutinised after taking on the roles from Tess and Claudia Winkleman, trying out different pairings throughout.

But after Sunday night's first elimination show, fans were positive about elements of the presenting set-up.

Emma and Johannes were paired together for the start of the show, where they discussed the dances from Saturday with the judges.

Sharing their thoughts on X, fans penned: 'Emma and Johannes presenting together this is much better it's not hard.'

'This is the way the hosting needs to be split with emma downstairs as main host and josh and johannes upstairs.'

'Oh Emma and Johannes together! they've realised that's how it should be.'

'Surely the BBC can see that Emma and Johannes are great together tonight.'

Emma then headed downstairs to the dance floor to reveal the votes, where she was replaced by Josh, who joined Johannes to chat with the celebs.

Fans enjoyed seeing Josh upstairs as they claimed he appeared less nervous.

They said: 'Now can we move Josh upstairs plz he works much better up their with Johannes.'

'Dare I say Josh felt mare natural upstairs being a bit more off the cuff with the saved couples in the result show?'

'Emma is much better doing the results on her own while Josh & JoJo are upstairs chatting with the celebrities.'

'Josh is better upstairs. Seems less nervous and more willing to ad-lib.'

'I will say that Josh is so much better upstairs & I really think they should consider that. Reckon he'll settle into that part so much easier.'
