Dressed up to the nines: Coleen Rooney leaving a London hotel last night to attend the Pride of Britain Awards, dressed in a flattering LBD
Coleen Rooney looked a million dollars last night as she headed out to a star-studded London ceremony in a rather fetching LBD.
But the WAG had no man on her arm at the event as her footballer husband Wayne is still abroad in Portland in the U.S. - the strip capital of America.
The couple cut rather different sartorial looks, with Wayne playing it very casual in a scruffy T-shirt and jogging bottoms.
Mother of one Coleen looked undeniably elegant in her Littlewoods dress, the catalogue company she recently signed a deal with to front their Christmas campaign, as she left her London hotel to attend the Pride of Britain Awards.
Luckily for Coleen it appears Wayne, who has hit the headlines recently with sordid allegations about his liaisons with hookers, is being closely watched by a group of minders during his rehabilitation visit to the Nike headquarters in Oregon, and is yet to be seen out alone.
The 25-year-old striker has been spending long days working with trainers at Nike's sports complex in Beaverton, Oregon.
Scruffy: A casual Wayne Rooney on his way to the Nike headquarters in Oregon for his second day of rehabilitation for ankle injuriesBut he is based at a hotel in nearby Portland, which boasts more strip clubs per capita than any other city in the US.
He has been careful not invite speculation about his goings on during the visit though, stepping out for a group meal with minders at the Irving St Kitchen last night.
He also clutched his wash bag, which has a picture of one-year-old son Kai, as photographers snapped his picture earlier in the day - making clear where his mind is.
Rooney, who has been suffering ankle problems, will receive what United insist will be fitness and conditioning treatment at the sportswear company's hi-tech medical centre.

Kai on his mind: The footballer made it clear that he was missing home keeping his washbag which has a picture of son Kai on it close to handThere have been suggestions that the player is simply being kept out of the way after the club's attempt to save him from the spotlight by sending him on a sunshine break to Dubai with his wife, Coleen, failed.
Despite his week long stay in the US, England boss Fabio Capello has refused to rule him out of the friendly match against France on November 17.
Manchester United's assistant boss Mike Phelan told the Sun: 'We just thought it might be in the interests of him and the club to have a change of scenery for a little while.'
Minders: The Manchester United star showed his colours with a Great Britain top during a group night out after trainingColeen and Wayne enjoyed a lavish break at the £2,000-a-night Burj Al Arab hotel, to celebrate the footballer's £200,000-a-week contract to stay on at Manchester United and to give Wayne a chance for his injured ankle to recover.
But their break got off to a rocky start when they had a furious row on their first night, when diners at a steak restaurant watched the pair bicker, and even accidentally smash a glass during their argument.
The holiday was seen as a marriage-saving effort after claims that the footballer cheated on his wife while she was pregnant with son Kai, by sleeping with two prostitutes in a Manchester hotel.
