Carol Vorderman ditches gown as she parades curves in plunging outfit at Top Gun premiere

Carol Vorderman didn't follow her fellow guests at the Top Gun premiere on Thursday night as she ditched the usual glitzy gowns for a khaki green flight suit in homage to the film.

The former Countdown star looked incredible as she paraded her curves in the plunging jumpsuit which she paired with a black patent belt to cinch in her wait and show off her gym-honed figure as well as a pair of heeled boots along. She added a matching black clutch bag while a pair of sunglasses hung from the outfit.

And people may be quick to spot the badge that read 'Matherick' above her left pocket to play on the name of the film and in a nod to her mathematical talents.

Posing for the cameras with a hand on her hips, 61-year-old Carol worked up a storm while showing off her dramatic dark look around her eyes and her curled blonde locks.

Earlier in the day, Carol took to her Instagram Story to pose for some snaps in the corridor of her hotel before setting off for the big premiere, which took place in London’s Leicester Square alongside the man of the moment himself, Tom Cruise, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who rubbed shoulders with the star-studded cast.

Cruise, who has reprised his role as hotshot US fighter pilot Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell for the eagerly awaited sequel to the 1986 movie, introduced William and Kate to his co-stars in front of a model of a fighter plane from the film, which had “Capt Pete Mitchell Maverick” emblazoned on it near the cockpit. Other stars include Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Monica Barbaro, Val Kilmer, Jon Hamm and Glen Powell.

Earlier this week, Carol shared a throwback photo from when she got up close and personal with Mr Cruise, 59, as she prepared for her big night out. She took to Instagram to share a photo of herself alongside the Hollywood actor which saw her wearing a white t-shirt and white jeans as she beamed next to Tom who was donning his aviator sunglasses.

He was wearing a blue jumper and blue jeans while holding a bottle of water as the pair were racing cars around Goodwood "a fair few years ago", according to Vorderman. The caption of the photo read: "MAVERICK and MATH-ERICK. PIC from a fair few years ago. We were racing cars at @goodwoodrrc having the best best time. I'm back to racing soon I hope. Have added rally driving to my list of MUST DOs as well. Life's too short not to. Off to the @topgunmovie premiere tomorrow night.... I feel the need....the need for....."

But fans were quick to flood the post with comments, telling Carol that the pair would make a 'good looking couple'.
