Claire Sweeney, 51, cuts a stylish figure on the Football For Change Gala 2022 red carpet

Claire Sweeney looked sensational as she attended the Football For Change Gala 2022 in partnership with MailOnline at Manchester’s Old Trafford Cricket Ground on Thursday.

The actress, 51, turned heads in a chic white jumpsuit that hugged every inch of her incredible figure.

The ensemble had a flowing train and was tied loosely to Claire’s slim waist, while the neutral color accentuated her sun-kissed skin.

Claire opted for a glamorous makeup palette and stuffed her things into a metal handbag.

Football For Change has already raised £350,000 through a celebrity luncheon and then dinner last November at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool. Thursday’s black-tie gala aims to raise the bar even higher, raising a further £350,000 for charity.

Carragher has looted his contact book and assembled an all-star lineup to raise money for projects across the country.

Diehard Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher will headline the swanky bash and Melanie C and Emeli Sande will also provide entertainment, with the entire show being provided by Vernon Kay.

It comes after Claire took to the All Stars Cabaret stage in sassy outfits after admitting she would have been “so self-conscious of her figure” had she appeared on the show when she was younger.

About embracing her sexuality in a range of revealing outfits on stage, the star said: “You get bolder the older you get and you care less.

‘I used to be so self-conscious about my figure, my body, comparing myself to all the beautiful young dancers.’

The mother-of-one concluded, ‘Now I’m going, ‘There’s only one of me, who cares?’

The former Brookside actress said she is “absolutely loving” to star in the raunchy burlesque show and has learned to “care less” about what others think.

Speaking to MailOnline at the TRIC Awards in June, she stated that now is the perfect time to take the plunge as she would have compared herself to all the beautiful dancers in previous years.

She said, ‘I absolutely love it, it’s a fantastic show, it’s the perfect night out, you have dinner, you sit and watch the show.

“It’s just the most phenomenal talent, I’m very proud to be a part of it. I’m in my element, completely in my element.’
