Vanessa Bauer was a long way from Kansas and Tim Man, Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion were nowhere in sight as she attended a press screening for new West End musical The Wizard Of Oz on Thursday evening.
The Dancing On Ice professional, 27, commanded attention in a sweeping gold gown as she crossed the appropriately coloured yellow carpet outside London Palladium theatre.
With a cinched waistline, the sleeveless halterneck dress drew attention to her slender physique, while matching strappy heels rounded off her ensemble.
Accessorising tastefully, the German skater opted for bold statement earrings, visible as she swept her side-parted hair across her shoulders.
Vanessa was on hand to watch the latest theatrical production of the iconic fantasy novel, originally made famous by Judy Garland as farm girl Dorothy in the 1939 motion picture.

Vanessa made the solo appearance after splitting with Joey Essex, a month after finishing runners-up on Dancing On Ice.
The pair, who performed together during the latest series of the ITV show, have not seen each other since the grand final, which took place on Sunday, March 12.
Viewers saw the couple grow close earlier this year filming the show, where they narrowly missed out on being crowned champions to Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson and his professional partner Olivia Smart.
In April, Vanessa claimed that she was ‘very happy’ with Joey, 32, when asked about their romance, but MailOnline can exclusively reveal that the couple are no longer dating and haven’t spent any time together since the end of series last month.

Their separation comes as Joey is planning an overseas move to Dubai and is in the middle of viewing properties where he can relocate and begin a new life away from Essex.
A source said: ‘Joey absolutely loved his time performing with Vanessa on Dancing On Ice – he will treasure those memories forever.
‘But for now, he’s focussing on work opportunities and beginning a new chapter in Dubai.
‘He’s definitely single and while Vanessa means a lot to him because of the experience they shared on the show, they’re just friends now.
‘Joey has a busy life and career and right now his main priority is his house move, which will be a massive change for him.’
