Taking fashion statement to the next level, 36-year-old Gem opted for a an Eighties style orange gown as she arrived at The Orangery in Kensington Palace.

Adding even more glitz to the striking gown, the I’m A Celeb star paired it with some shiny gold heels and a sparkly bag.

And Gemma was clearly chuffed with her dramatic look as she posted a smouldering selfie on Instagram next to the caption: ‘Rocking my inner Lady GAGA tonight @gerdatruubon xxx’.

Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for Gem’s 419k followers to comment on the photo, and it’s fair to say they were pretty divided.

‘I thought this was fancy dress at first. Love you gem but this dress needs burning!!!’ one fan wrote.

While a fourth agreed: ‘You look as though you forgot to take the coat hanger out #sholderpads’.

Although it wasn’t all bad, and loads of the CBB star’s fans rushed to defend her outfit, with one hitting back: ‘So beautiful gc you look stunning xx’, and another agreeing: ‘You look amazing’.

Well, despite dividing opinion with the interesting style, the star seemed to be having a great time as she partied with the rest of the Essex crew including pals, Chloe Lewis and Georgia Kousoulou as well as BFF’s Bobby Norris and James Lock.

Keep doing you, Gem!
