The event aims to prove that spectacle wearers can be sexy and Helen Flanagan definitely rose to the challenge.

The former Coronation Street star squeezed her curves into a tight emerald green basque gown to attend the Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2012 awards ceremony, held at Battersea Power Station on Tuesday night.

Helen, 22, showed off her ample cleavage in the revealing gown and had clearly put plenty of thought into her appearance tonight.

There is little doubt that most guests will have been paying much more attention to Helen's outfit, rather than her eye wear.

The glittering green gown, by Manchester-based designer Nadine Merabi, accentuated her curves and Helen teamed the dress with a snakeskin print gold clutch bag.

Helen also appeared to show off another new accessory in the form of a large tattoo on her left forearm.

The inking appeared to be of Marilyn Monroe's face but it is not clear whether it is a permanent design or a temporary one.

Helen was by no means the only girl to glam up for the occasion and a whole host of glasses-wearers stepped out at the event.

Miss Flanagan's former co-star Tina O'Brien opted for a short black dress with sheer panneling for a revealing look.
