Vanessa Bauer is a radiant beauty in a black and pink mini dress at Elf The Musical

She is set to return to screens in early 2023 for the next series of Dancing On Ice.

And Vanessa Bauer looked stunning on Thursday as she enjoyed a celebratory evening with Elf The Musical at the Dominion Theater in London.

The pro skater donned a black mini dress with a satin pink panel and a standout bow for the show’s opening night.

The number had a strapless neckline and a plain black skirt design, with the upper part in soft pink satin.

To ward off the chill of the capital, she wore a pair of sheer black tights and added a pair of black platform Oxford shoes.

Her chocolate brown locks were left loose in a curly style, as Vanessa pulled them into a side parting and behind her ears.

She added a pretty makeup palette to finish the look, complete with a glossy pink lip and a glossy eyeshadow brush.

Vanessa joined a slew of stars on Elf’s opening night, including Love Island’s Amy Hart, Katherine Ryan and Megan McKenna.

The choreographer and professional is teaming up with TOWIE’s Joey Essex for the next series of Dancing On Ice.

And Vanessa’s appearance comes after reports that she and Joey flirted throughout their Dancing On Ice collaboration.

A source told The Sun: ‘Joey and Vanessa have bonded incredibly quickly.

“At the moment they’ve managed to keep everything professional, but you can tell they’re both super flirty.”

“They’ll be spending a lot of time together over the next few months due to rehearsals, so it’s easy to see how the romance could blossom.

“Joey is hoping to invite him to Essex for a night out with his mates and a drink at his house.”
