Abdo, 43, was accompanied by her husband and boxer, Malik Scott.
She was seen in striking white dress and heels while Scott, 44, was seen in a snazzy chequered black and white shirt paired with a bowler hat.
Their relationship was first revealed on air by CBS co-stars Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher in 2023 before they officially announced they had tied the knot in 2024.
Peter Schmeichel, who works as a pitchside reporter for the broadcaster, also joined her at the event in a black suit and trousers paired with white trainers.
They were in attendance to present the event, with Liverpool 's Mohamed Salah being crowned the Player of the Season at the glitzy bash.
Meanwhile, Murati, dubbed the Albanian Laura Woods, stunned in a silky blue dress and platform heels.
The Champions League host, 30, has been a regular feature anchoring Europe 's elite club competition for Vizion Plus and Tring TV since 2017.
She started working as a television presenter at the age of 18.
And at the event she was seen interviewing some figureheads of the sport.
The bash itself was directed by multiple Emmy award-winning Pete Radovich.
On the award, Sofascore's director of marketing, Branimir Karacic, said: "The Player of the Season Show is not just a celebration of the best footballers of the season.
"It's a statement of what we believe in – that performance on the pitch, supported by statistical data, deserves global recognition.
"Our Sofascore Rating is already a go-to standard for evaluating individual quality, and the fact that the show was produced by CBS, under the creative direction of Pete Radovich, gives the entire project even more weight."

Ex-Liverpool and Premier League talent guru Malcolm Elias who was behind rise of Trent Alexander and Gareth Bale dies

FORMER Premier League talent spotter and academy recruitment expert Malcolm Elias has passed away aged 71, it has been announced. Fulham FC confirmed Elias' passing in a statement on social media. 1 The post read: "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our colleague and dear friend, Malcolm Elias, after a short illness. "The Club's Head of Academy Recruitment, Malcolm had a fantastic reputation in football for unearthing and nurturing young talent. "A proud Welshman, Malcolm was approaching his 16th anniversary at Craven Cottage this summer, having joined us from Liverpool in July 2009, while he also previously enjoyed a highly successful spell at Southampton alongside future Fulham colleagues Huw Jennings and Steve Wigley. "The influence that Malcolm had on the modern game cannot be understated, having worked with and developed the likes of Theo Walcott, Gareth Bale, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Harvey Elliott, Luke Harris and Jay Stansfield, to name but a few. "A hugely popular figure around the training ground, Malcolm will be sorely missed by all who knew him. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to Paula - Malcolm's ever devoted and endlessly supportive wife of nearly 50 years - his sons Andrew and Daniel, his six beloved grandchildren, as well as his additional family and friends." Elias was always highly respected within football, having helped to identify and nurture some of the Premier League's best young talents. The academy recruitment expert previously worked with Liverpool before joining Fulham in 2009 - helping the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Harvey Elliott get their breakthroughs. Prior to his time on Merseyside Elias worked with Southampton, where he had an impact on the early emergence of the likes of Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Luke Shaw and Gareth Bale. Tributes for the iconic figure have started pouring in as the football world mourns the loss. QPR posted: "We're so sorry for your loss. "Sending sincere condolences to Malcolm's loved ones and all at Fulham." While Oxford United, where Elias worked as an Academy Manager in the 1980s, posted: "Oxford United were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Malcolm Elias. "A former teacher in Blackbird Leys, Malcolm began working at United in the 80's as an Academy Manager. "A much loved person and coach at the Club for more than a decade, Malcolm is an integral part of the Club's history, helping bring through talents such as Joey Beauchamp. "Our thoughts go out to his family and friends at this time. RIP." THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..

Aldi drops new beauty product that costs just £2.99 and will be perfect for your summer holiday

ALDI has released a new beauty product that comes at a bargain price and will be perfect to pack for your holidays. The Lacura Facial Tanning Mist is in stores now as one of the discount supermarket's Specialbuys. It's a bargain £2.99, making it one of the cheapest facial tanning mists you can get. The beauty buy will be perfect for keeping your tan topped up over the summer and while you're on holiday. Its 100ml bottle also means you can pack it in your cabin luggage. The tanning mist comes in two versions, Day Glimmer and Night Shine, so you can choose whether you want it to develop during the day or overnight. Aldi says the mist is the 'perfect morning boost to revive your skin with a holiday glow'. It's enriched with glycerin and hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture, and also has rosemary oil. The description on the website says it will leave your skin looking 'radiantly sunkissed'. Remember that Aldi Specialbuys are only available while stocks last so you'll need to get in quick if you want it. The bargain buy appears to be a dupe for the Isle of Paradise Day Dew Gradual Face Mist. Isle of Paradise is popular with celebrities including Margot Robbie. I tried Aldi's new anti-aging skincare range But a 100ml bottle will set you back much more than the Lacura tanning mist. You can get it for £19.32 at Sephora, or the Night Glow version is cheaper at £11.02 at Cult Beauty. Another alternative is the St Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist, which comes in an 80ml bottle. It's currently £19.20 at LookFantastic. What other beauty buys does Aldi have right now? Aldi has just dropped a range of bargain beauty products in its Specialbuys aisle. The discount supermarket is known for releasing dupes of popular high-end beauty items and this drop is no exception. It currently has the Luminous Filter Glamour Foundation, which beauty bloggers say is a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter. But at £4.99, it's much cheaper than the Charlotte Tilbury version which has a price tag of £39. Meanwhile the Tinted Lip Oil is said to be a dupe for Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty lip oils. The Aldi version is £3.99 while the Rare Beauty lip oils come in at £20. Another Aldi bargain is the Shimmer Setting Spray, which costs £4.49. Meanwhile the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray costs £16.50 at John Lewis. What are the best Aldi beauty dupes? ALDI has become well-known for its affordable beauty dupes that often rival high-end brands in terms of quality and effectiveness. Here are some of the best Aldi beauty dupes that have garnered rave reviews: Lacura Healthy Glow Exfoliating Tonic Dupe for: Pixi Glow Tonic Price: £3.99 (compared to Pixi's £18) Description: This exfoliating tonic contains glycolic acid and works to gently exfoliate and brighten the skin.
