She never puts a step wrong when it comes to fashion.
And 23-year-old Gemma Owen looked sensational as she arrived for the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Awards, held at the Opera House Theater in Manchester on Tuesday evening.
The former Love Islander and daughter of Michael Owen made sure they turned heads at the sporting event in a plunging black dress.
Gemma highlighted her gorgeous curves and holiday tan in the figure-hugging piece which she teamed with a simple silver necklace.
The PFA Awards are an annual ceremony honoring the biggest stars in English football.
No doubt Gemma was invited because of her famous footballing father Michael, who played for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle United and Manchester United at the time.

Gemma’s glamorous appearance comes just after her father Michael recently opened up about his financial struggles after swapping his lucrative football career for the risky venture of owning racehorses.
At the height of his career, Michael was paid around £110,000 a week while playing for Newcastle United between 2005 and 2009.
But after hanging up his boots in 2013, Michael switched to a less stable income and took a chance on owning racehorses.
Although the former striker, 46, is said to have an impressive net worth of £54.4million, he admitted he now has to be careful with his finances after purchasing Manor House Stables in Cheshire, where he breeds and trains racehorses.
Michael spoke candidly about his new career on his upcoming reality series Meet The Owens and confessed: ‘The biggest challenge is the financial side.
“It’s a damn hard business and I can’t keep making money.”
Discussing his retirement from football, Michael mused: ‘Suddenly you’re living under your wife’s feet and starting a new life.
‘When you stop playing football, you no longer feel as valued and loved. There were constant feelings of admiration, like a drug and you want to make people happy.
‘When you win trophies all the time and scare the hell out of defenders, that’s what gave me such a kick.

Meet The Owens follows a year in the lives of Michael, wife Louise and their children Gemma, James, Emily and Jessica, as they juggle a horse racing business with a chaotic family life.
‘Injuries made me 50 percent of the player I was. I almost felt ashamed walking out with my name on my back, so I was eager to retire.
‘And that’s quite sad, if you just don’t enjoy your work. I’ve come to realize that I need a purpose in life.’
Michael, who bought his first racehorse at the age of 18 after returning from the 1998 World Championships, then decided to make horse racing his full-time career.
Still, he admitted that the business is a struggle, given its unpredictability and the fact that he’s competing against people “who have much bigger pockets than I do.”
An episode of the upcoming series showed Michael going to an auction to buy horses, where he explained that he would often be outbid by members of foreign royal families and dignitaries.
“My sweet spot with horses is between £30,000 and £100,000,” he explained, before telling his wife Louise that he had spent £273,000 buying three horses that day.
Louise, 46, expressed her frustration with her husband’s affairs and confessed: ‘Michael doesn’t tell me anything so I have to trust him to be in control.’
She later added, “MMichael is very strange when it comes to spending money.
‘He won’t think twice about spending money on a horse, but if the kids leave the lights on in the house, he’ll go up on the roof!
‘Or if I want to redecorate the bathroom because the paint is falling off the wall, he will say: ‘Is that really necessary?’
Michael further reflected on his 2022 appearance on The Masked Singer, where he made it to episode six while performing as “Donuts.”
While daughter Emily, 18, cringed at his ’embarrassing’ act, Michael confessed: ‘Why did I do this? I think the money! Now that I’ve done it, I’m actually quite proud of it.’
But looking back at a clip of his performance, he scoffed: ‘Wow, I have a big head – I look like a donut there! I’ve lost about three stone since then.’
Daughter Jessica, 16, said at the time: ‘He did quite well. He was definitely the entertainment… He sang a lot of questionable vocals, I was very happy he got voted off!’
Prime Video’s Meet The Owens is a six-part docuseries produced by Whisper.
