Kelly Osbourne Wows at the 2026 National Television Awards in a Bold Blue Vivienne Westwood Off-The-Shoulder Gown — Photos

Kelly Osbourne returned to the red carpet in a striking designer gown, but the photos she shared afterward revealed much more from her night out.

The 41-year-old star attended the 2026 National Television Awards to represent her family's emotional BBC documentary, Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home. The production earned a nod in the Authored Documentary category.

Her appearance was a welcome sight for fans after months of public concern over her health. But as the evening unfolded, Kelly made a surprising admission.

Kelly Steps Out in Vivienne Westwood

Kelly, 41, attended the National Television Awards at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday, September 8, wearing a vivid blue and brown tartan gown by Vivienne Westwood.

The off-the-shoulder design featured a fitted, corset-style bodice and draped neckline before opening into a dramatic, floor-length skirt. The fabric mixed electric and deep blues with brown, black, and lighter stripes.

The sculptural skirt was one of the dress's most distinctive details. Fabric gathered around the hips before cascading toward the floor in an asymmetric silhouette.

Vivienne Westwood lists its Long Chichi Dress for $4,056 in a shiny blue/brown colorway. According to the fashion house, the dress uses its "Buchanan" tartan, inspired by the 19th-century Buchanan sett linked to the Buchanan clan of Loch Lomond.

An internal drawstring beneath the skirt allows the wearer to gather the material into an asymmetric ruched drape. The Italian-made gown also has a subtle sheen, a full-bodied skirt, asymmetrical seam detailing, a concealed zipper, and a floor-length silhouette.

Kelly made the look her own with several layers of gold jewelry. Her necklaces included a large cross, a smaller cross, a black oval pendant, a green stone, and other charms.

Gold drop earrings added another detail, while the low, off-the-shoulder neckline and short sleeves left several of her tattoos visible. Her blonde hair was pulled tightly away from her face and arranged into an elaborate braided bun.

Her makeup placed the focus firmly on her eyes, with long lashes, dark liner, sculpted brows, and shimmering green-blue shadow. She finished the beauty look with contoured cheeks and a muted pink-nude lip.

Her First Photos Had Fans Zooming In

Kelly gave followers their first detailed look at the ensemble through an Instagram post, sharing a series of posed photographs that showed the gown, jewelry, makeup, and hairstyle up close.

The pictures quickly brought comments about her appearance, with several followers particularly focused on her makeup and jawline. One person wrote, "I've never seen you look prettier more beautiful more lovely."

Another simply declared, "Jawline!!🔥" while another noted, "The eye makeup is absolutely stunning! And you of course 💜." One response combined both observations: "You look amazing. Absolutely glowing. And your jawline is insane!!"

Others wrote, "Wow what a change you look stunning Kelly. ❤️," "Jawline!," and "Best version💜🔥😍." Another follower went further, writing, "This is your best look yet. Wow so stunning. 💙💙💙"

Those polished portraits, however, were only the first glimpse Kelly offered from the evening.

Kelly's New Photos Show the Full Night

Kelly later returned to Instagram with another collection of pictures taken during the National Television Awards. The second set moved beyond the posed close-ups and showed her complete red carpet look, moments from interviews, selfies, and snapshots with other attendees.

Full-length photographs provided a clearer look at the scale of the Vivienne Westwood skirt. Its blue-and-brown plaid fabric extended to the floor, with large folds and gathered sections creating volume around the lower half.

The pictures also revealed another accessory: a small black handbag with gold chain handles and a prominent gold orb emblem. In one red carpet image, Kelly posed beside her companion while carrying the bag. Another captured the pair laughing together in front of the National Television Awards backdrop.

Other photographs showed Kelly holding an NTA microphone while speaking on the carpet. Her layered necklaces, off-the-shoulder neckline, tattoos, and elaborate skirt remained clearly visible as she was interviewed. The post then took followers inside the ceremony.

Kelly appeared in group selfies from the audience, and another close-up showed her posing beside a fellow attendee. That image offered an especially clear view of her metallic green eye shadow, winged liner, long lashes, pink lip color, earrings, and slicked-back hairstyle.

The new pictures prompted another round of responses. "Darling you look sensational 🖤," one commenter wrote. Another said, "Looking happy and healthy. 🖤🤘" A third wrote, "Wow you look so much fitter now."

One follower combined praise for Kelly's appearance with condolences over her father: "You look gorgeous. It seems you've really come into yourself. So sorry for your loss, your father was a national treasure. 🖤🖤"

The comments carried added significance because Kelly had spoken publicly only days earlier about the circumstances surrounding her recent weight loss.

She Recently Addressed Her Weight Loss

Kelly's NTA appearance came shortly after she gave a candid account of how grief following Ozzy Osbourne's death had affected her physically. Ozzy died at his Buckinghamshire home on July 22, 2025, at 76. His death came less than three weeks after his final concert at Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham.

Tens of thousands of people later lined Birmingham's streets for his funeral procession. His family also laid flowers at Black Sabbath Bridge, which is named in honor of his band.

In an interview published by The Mail on Sunday on September 6, Kelly said she had not realized how thin she had become until she saw a photograph of herself during a dress fitting for the Grammy Awards.

"I looked like the [***] Crypt Keeper," she said. "I said, 'This is scary. I didn't know I looked like this.' My spine – you could see every single bone." Kelly said friends and relatives had raised concerns, but she had been overwhelmed by grief.

"I couldn't see what other people saw because I was in so much pain," she said. "I just saw a broken person." She also revealed that she took an unusual step when attending the Grammys earlier in the year.

"I wore a wig to cover my face, so you couldn't see how skinny my cheekbones really were," Kelly said. Her stylists also searched for clothing that would not make her appear thinner.

Looking back, Kelly said she had been scared and wanted to attend the ceremony to support her mother, Sharon Osbourne, and honor her father's legacy, but acknowledged that she "wasn't very well." Kelly explained that grief had left her feeling nauseated when she attempted to eat.

She said the pain could become so consuming that hunger did not register. At home, she tried to keep that suffering away from her three-year-old son, Sidney. Kelly said she would become "Miss Fun Mum" whenever he entered the room and would leave rather than cry in front of him.

She also said Sidney and Ozzy had been extraordinarily close. According to Kelly, her son has some of his grandfather's mannerisms and personality traits. Sidney still visits his grandfather's grave most days, Kelly said, where he leaves a feather and tells "Papa" about what happened during his day at nursery.

Kelly is now planning a three-part television series about bereavement, although she said she was not yet allowed to identify its broadcaster. She said the project would examine grief and mental health as well as experiences from her own life that the public does not know about.

Kelly also described living with "anticipatory grief" for almost a decade as Ozzy's health declined. She had thought that experience might prepare her for eventually losing him, but said her father's death fundamentally changed her.

The Documentary Made the NTA Appearance Personal

That history was closely connected to why Kelly was at the National Television Awards. She attended to represent her family's BBC documentary, "Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home," which was nominated in the Authored Documentary category.

The program follows the final chapter of Ozzy's life as he and Sharon planned to leave Los Angeles and return to the United Kingdom. Kelly appears in the documentary alongside members of her family.

"Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" faced "Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth," "Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix," "Our Girls: The Southport Families," and "Sir Chris Hoy: Cancer, Courage And Me" in its category.

Despite appearing at the NTAs on behalf of the documentary, Kelly revealed on the red carpet that she had never watched it. Speaking to Metro, she said watching the program remained too painful because of its subject matter.

Kelly described it as both a devastating and beautiful story. She also addressed the experience of grieving publicly while facing scrutiny over changes in her appearance.

She said losing someone is difficult in itself, but experiencing grief in front of the public while being judged for how she handled it made the process harder. At the same time, Kelly credited people who offered her kindness, love, and support with helping her through that period.

Her companion for the NTA carpet was "Emmerdale" star Bradley Riches, whom Kelly referred to as her "sexy date." According to Kelly, the two became friends after Bradley spent time with Sharon in the "Big Brother" house. Kelly said her mother "always gets mad" because she and Bradley ended up becoming best friends.

By the end of the night, the appearance had connected several parts of Kelly Osbourne's past year: her father's legacy, a documentary she still finds too painful to watch, her recent discussion of grief and weight loss, and a red carpet return that prompted an outpouring of comments about how she looked.
