The 26-year-old looked delighted to swap her Olympics kit for a coral, pleated dress created by British fashion house Alexander McQueen.

The athlete looked stunning after her makeover.

Her hair had been swept into a chic side bun, and a team of make-up artists had created a natural, glowing look.
