Michelle Mone wakes up the morning after the Butterfly Ball with her glamorous gown still on

The Cauldwell Children's Butterfly Ball at the Grosvenor House hotel on Thursday was a night filled with glamour and, sadly, for Michelle Mone, something of an epic wardrobe malfunction too.

The Ultimo underwear tycoon, 42, tweeted a photo on Friday morning that was taken the previous evening where she required help to get into her evening gown, having already posted 'can't get into my dress' before the event.

The only trouble was, once Michelle was in her dress she found that she couldn't get out of it either.

'Ok so this lady hooked me into my dress,' she posted to her 545,000 followers, 'Got home at 2am couldn't get the thing off, woke up & its still on hehe #help.

Swimming in sequins: Michelle's gorgeous gown almost seemed to be inspired by The Little Mermaid

Michelle's outfit for the Butterfly Ball almost appeared to be inspired by Disney's The Little Mermaid.

With plenty of dazzling gold sequins for the top, the skirt part of the outfit was a floor-touching soft turquoise colour that flowed beautifully, accentuating Michelle's long blonde locks.

Keeping her jewellery to a matching gold theme for both wrists and her earrings, Michelle carried a gold clutch and wore what appeared to be gold open toe gold sandal heels to finish her shimmering look for the night.

Tweeting for help: Michelle posted about her dress predicament on Friday morning

Mother-of-three Michelle lost six stone in the run up to splitting with her husband of 20 years Michael in 2010.

The following year they announced their separation in 2011 and divorced in January last year. Months later, Michelle claimed he had cheated on her with an Ultimo designer, which Michael denied.

The pair had founded their lingerie firm from a spare bedroom in 1996 and launched the first Ultimo bra in 1999.
