England’s Golden Glove Stuns in All-Black Ensemble at Star-Studded Ceremony<\/p>\n
Manchester’s leading lady Mary Earps proved she’s as much of a style icon as she is a star athlete last night. The 30-year-old football talent lit up the red carpet at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards in a striking black David Koma corset gown.<\/p>\n
Earps, who won world’s hearts with her penalty save against Germany in the Euro finals this summer, channeled old Hollywood glam in the sultry, lace-trimmed number. The daring dress by London designer David Koma turned the goalkeeper into a modern pin-up with its plunging sweetheart neckline, built-in corset bodice, and thigh-high slit.<\/p>\n

Ever the accessories aficionado, Earps finished the look with slim stiletto sandals by Dune London. The leg-lengthening Madrina heels grounded the fantasy gown with a sleek, modern element.<\/p>\n
Earps is no stranger to taking fashion risks, having donned designs by Burberry, Erdem, and Richard Quinn on past red carpets. But last night’s all-black ensemble was her most daring to date.<\/p>\n
The David Koma dress, which retails for \u00a31,460, has fast become a celebrity favorite. Love Island’s Claudia Fogarty and actress Helen Flanagan have both been spotted in the show-stopping number at recent UK events.<\/p>\n While some critics took issue with Earps baring so much skin at a sporting ceremony, others applauded her high fashion choice. “Mary Earps should win for that dress. What a triumph,” one fan Tweeted.<\/p>\n The off-the-shoulder gown marked a stark contrast from the more demure shirt-and-trousers combos Earps wears on the field. But she managed to find drama in both looks.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, the goalkeeper made headlines for criticizing Nike’s decision not to produce replica women’s goalkeeper jerseys for fans to purchase. She called the move “hugely hurtful” after the triumphant Euro win.<\/p>\n Last night, Earps proved she can find the back of the net on the fashion front as easily as the pitch. In a sea of suits and cocktail dresses, her standout David Koma number earned her yet another trophy – that of best-dressed guest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" England’s Golden Glove Stuns in All-Black Ensemble at Star-Studded Ceremony Manchester’s leading lady Mary Earps proved she’s as much of a style icon as she is a star athlete last night.
