Katherine Ryan turned heads as she attended the HELLO! Power List party on Tuesday night, alongside the likes of Tess Daly, Natalie Imbruglia and the Marchioness of Bath.
The comedienne and mum-of-four shared several photos as she got ready at The Langham in London before making her way to Mayfair's Mazarine. Styled by Jennifer Michalski-Bray, she wore a jewel-toned sequin mini dress over a blouse in the same shade and a killer pair of gold thigh-high boots. Her makeup was natural and fresh-faced, while her hair was styled in perfect curls.

Her iridescent green dress featured intricate sequin detailing, adding a glamorous finish to the mini silhouette, while layering with a coordinating blouse offered a playful twist. Her striking gold leather thigh-high boots were the real talking point, and she completed the look with a silver clutch bag.

And never one to shy away from speaking her mind, Katherine had the room laughing as she delivered a brilliantly bold speech celebrating women's value.
She used her moment with the mic to deliver a typically unfiltered take on relationships, ageing and why women only get better with time. Opening with a playful reference to Celine Dion's new chapter in life, Katherine joked about being in the "winter" of her own life before turning her attention to the women around her, including Davina McCall and Judy Love.
Congratulating Davina on finding love with her husband Michael, Katherine joked about her own experiences with men before making more pointed observations about the double standards women continue to face. Her message was clear: women should never feel that their worth diminishes as they get older.
"I just think that women grow in value with every passing day, not the other way around," she declared, earning an approving reaction from the audience.
At a celebration dedicated to women making their mark at every stage of life, Katherine's speech was a reminder that a woman's second act can be every bit as exciting – and entertaining – as her first.
