Samia Longchambon put on a leggy display as she attended the Football For Change Gala 2022 on Thursday, in partnership with MailOnline at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.
The Corrie actress, 40, slipped into a figure-hugging brown midi dress as she joined slick husband Sylvain, 42, on the red carpet.
Samia’s dress boasted a thigh-high split that flashed glimpses of her toned legs as she completed the look with a pair of strappy heels.

Football legend Jamie Carragher leads the charity that aims to help underprivileged youth find work and improve their education.
Samia, who plays Maria Connor in the soap, accentuated her graceful features with a touch of makeup and a hint of lip gloss.
She let her blond locks fall on her shoulders while wearing a selection of gold jewelry.

Meanwhile, French professional skater Sylvain, who married the actress in 2016, donned a nice dark suit for the event.
He layered the look over a crisp white shirt and navy tie as he slipped his feet into dark brown dress shoes.
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.
The outing comes after Samia was left stunned after taking a poolside selfie in which her body appeared to have been cut in half.

Saturday on Instagram to share a throwback photo from earlier in the summer, which showed her in an animal print bikini top and black bottoms with a straw hat.
However, the lower half of her body was completely detached from her upper half in the photo, and her legs seemed to submerge under the water.
She captioned her post: ‘I should have paid more attention to GCSE physics, I should have googled it..#refraction.’
Refraction is when light travels from air into water causing it to slow down and change direction slightly, creating the optical illusion seen in Samia’s image.
In another photo, Samia looked relaxed, holding her hands in the air as she walked across a glass-bottomed section of the crystal-clear pool she’d been immersed in on a recent vacation.
