Lorraine Stanley displayed her five-stone weight loss in a glamorous sequin tulle gown as she attended the Paul Strank Summer Party.
The soap star, 45, who played Karen Taylor in EastEnders from 2017 to 2024, attended the bash with her husband Mark Perez.
Lorraine has undergone a body transformation in the last year, shedding five stone in just 12 months.
And she showed off her trim figure at the party held at the Royal Garden Hotel in London on Saturday.
Lorraine looked stunning in her gown, which featured a sequin bodice and a full tulle skirt.
She paired the dress with chunky gold platform heels and a gold metallic clutch bag, as well as diamond drop earrings.
Her husband Mark meanwhile looked dapper in a blue marl tailored suit, with a white shirt and light pink satin tie.
The annual event raises money for under privileged children and was sponsored by the Theo Paphitis Retail Group.
She recently shared new photos of her incredible five stone weight loss as she speaks out on her recent health kick.
In the months since she has embarked on a lifestyle change, and this week shared a new Instagram photo as she proudly showed off her slimmer frame.
Sharing a snap from a recent event, Lorraine looked gorgeous in a green and pink print co-ord.
Taking to her Instagram story, she also revealed a new milestone in her lifestyle overhaul.
She told fans: 'I'm five months sober and still had a good night dancing! #Sobriety.'
Lorraine's former co-stars rushed to the comments to praise the actress, with Diane Parish, who plays Denise in EastEnders, writing: 'You look incredible!'
Martin Fowler actor James Bye agreed, gushing in the comments: 'Look at you skinny minny xx miss you mate xx'
Lorraine has shared pictures with her social media followers along the way - and revealed she now feels better than ever.
On Instagram at the time, she said: 'What a difference a year makes.
'Five stone down, feeling good, clean living, healthy choices, new me, healthy mummy.'
The actress - who lost 12lbs in her first six weeks on the new diet - frequently praised her pal and fitness guru Louise.
She also praises her nutritionist friend who 'clued her up when it came to what she was eating day-to-day'.
Her gruelling daily workouts and a well-balanced food regime had a positive impact in Lorraine's life, who said of her journey: 'I'm enjoying it and I feel better for it.'
Spilling her diet hacks while chatting to Woman's Own magazine, Lorraine said: 'My mate Louise is my fitness guru. I've got her to thank for it.'
The actress recalled: 'I've eaten a lot of boiled eggs, fish, chicken, no carbs, no crisps and no chocolate.'
