The National Television Awards is one of the biggest showbiz events for UK celebs, with stars eagerly awaiting to hear the nominations and for their chance to walk the red carpet.
As the glitzy event finally returns after the Covid pandemic forced it to postpone from April to September, it is sure to be a fabulous affair.
The NTAs will be starting at 7.30pm on ITV, with the biggest names in showbiz waiting to see if they have managed to bag one of the prestigious awards.
But one thing people look forward to is the red carpet before hand, as some celebrities take the word daring to the extreme in an effort to wow the crowds.
Daily Star has taken a look back at the some of the racier looks, from Carol Vorderman to Love Island’s Maura Higgins.

Amanda Holden is known for her love of racy outfits, with some of her BGT looks causing outrage for being too provocative for the family-watched talent show.
But the 50-year-old has never been one to let the critics get to her and her sheer number in 2016 was one of her raciest ever.
Amanda looked stunning as she opted for a long black dress which featured a sheer top and a daring thigh-split, risking a wardrobe malfunction.
Her modesty was protected by an embellished bra underneath as she flashed her washboard stomach and long legs to the camera.
She completed her look with simple black heels and hopes as she smouldered on the red carpet.

Carol is another celebrity who has never been afraid to show off her age-defying figure.
A winner of Rear of the Year, Carol is always keen to photograph her hourglass curves because if you’ve got it, flaunt it.
Her dress for the 2017 awards was nothing short of show-stopping, as she donned a long-sleeve gold embellished gown with a plunging neckline, showcasing her famous figure at the event.
Carol’s famous cleavage stole the show as she smiled on the red carpet in the figure-hugging frock, sending onlookers wild.
Letting her blonde locks cascade around her shoulders, Carol looked a far-cry from her 60 years.

Geordie Shore legend Marnie Simpson’s outfit was possibly the most daring of all time as she turned up to the 2017 awards in next to nothing in front of the cameras.
Opting for a see-through lace concoction, Marnie decided to forego her underwear as she let her curves do the talking under the eye-popping gown.
Her modesty was barely covered by the embellished panels of lace, with Marnie nearly flashing everything under the lights of the camera.
Outrageous Marnie seemed unperturbed by the attention her dress was getting as she turned for the cameras to also show off her peachy derriere whilst cosying up to TOWIE’s Lewis Bloor, her boyfriend at the time.
Fans of Geordie Shore know that the stars of the hit MTV show are not known for their modesty, but Marnie may have taken it to a whole new level.
Susanna Reid

The glamorous Susanna Reid, 50, may be used to wearing business-like dresses on air for Good Morning Britain, but she certainly knows how to rock a glitzy gown in the evenings.
Brunette bombshell Susanna commanded attention in 2019 when she opted for an emerald green sparkling frock with a daring peephole neckline.
The gorgeous breakfast presenter strutted her stuff down the red carpet in the cut-out gown, showing off a glimpse of cleavage under the racy design.
Posing next to her former co-host Piers Morgan at the event, Susanna ensured all eyes were on her in the sequinned green gown.
Finishing the look with curled locks and natural but elegant make-up, Susanna was easily one of the best dressed stars at the event that year.

Love Island star Maura Higgins may not have won the 2019 series, but she has certainly become one of the show’s biggest success stories since her exit.
Raking in presenting jobs and mega endorsement deals, Maura hasn’t done too badly for someone who didn’t manage to find love in the villa.
After coming fourth with Curtis Pritchard, the pair put on a loved-up display at the 2019 red carpet, but sadly split only months later.
But rather than her blossoming romance, it was Maura’s eye-popping dress which got people talking as she donned a totally see-through purple gown.

Using only strands of glittering material to cover up her modesty, Maura paraded her toned figure to the cameras from all angles.
The jaw-dropping display was finished off with purple fur lining around her wrists as the long skirt trailed behind her golden legs.
Tying her dark hair behind her into a sleek ponytail, Maura made sure that the cameras were aimed towards her flesh-flashing display as she flaunted her cleavage and pert behind.
Kate Ferdinand
Former TOWIE star Kate Ferdinand has made the ultimate transformation from reality TV babe to glamorous step-mum after marrying footballer Rio in 2019.
But back in 2017, Kate was at the height of her TOWIE fame as she certainly made the most of it by opting for a red-hot Jessica Rabbit style gown.
Flashing an impressive amount of cleavage in the off-the-shoulder gown, Kate matched the carpet as she sizzled in the figure-hugging gown which tapered off to an elegant train.
Tying her blonde locks back into a sleek bun, Kate looked like a Hollywood sex siren before finally turning her back on reality TV to focus on her family life.
NTAS airs from 7.30pm on ITV on September 9.
