Olivier Awards 2023: Amber Davies stuns in figure hugging black gown

Amber Davies looked sensational when she arrived at the Olivier Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Sunday.

The 26-year-old former Love Island star, who won the show in 2017, dazzled in a one-shoulder black dress.

TV personality Amber, who has carved out a successful career in the West End, showed off her hourglass figure in the almost floor-length garment.

Her dress featured a sleeve on one side with a uniquely shaped neckline that extended into the sleeve.

She wore a pair of slingback heels to add a few inches to her height and carried a jewel encrusted bag with her.
