Left: Katie Price. Right: Vivienne Westwood and Pamela AndersonWe may have been bemoaning the trend for black attire at this season's red carpet events, but we're eating our words following the arrival of Katie Price and Pamela Anderson at this year's British Comedy Awards.

While it may be boring, the sight of the garish outfits on display reminded us why black is the safe but sensible choice.Katie Price arrived in a shimmering pink and black printed dress with back and inevitable cleavage on display but even she might have gasped a little at Pamela's style decision.

The Baywatch star wore an orange draped dress with blue stars and yellow swirls... resembling something from a children's bedroom.

But she did, however, make for the most bizarre celebrity duo of the night as she appeared next to Vivienne Westwood (daringly showing her knees) to present the best new TV comedy award which (rather aptly) went to Psychoville.

Come back black... all is forgiven.
