She wore sheer black tights and paired the shorts with a black vest top and a smart blazer.
Posing up a storm for the cameras, Myleene further accessorised her look with a layer of gold necklaces, a black baseball cap, and a pair of trendy oversized shades.

Earlier this month, Myleene led the stars celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day as she hosted a tribute concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
Joined in her hosting duties by Katherine Jenkins and Dan Walker, she pulled out all the stops on the night in an eye-catching red gown.
The singer certainly brought the glamour as she displayed her toned frame in the thigh-high split dress, which was adorned with a huge bow detailing.
The event, sponsored by the Daily Mail, featured a show-stopping performance from mezzo-soprano Katherine and dancing from Strictly Come Dancing stars.
The show also included first-hand recollections from military veterans and those who lived through the conflict.
Former pop star Myleene, whose father served in the Merchant Navy, said it was 'both humbling and an honour' to be involved.
She said: 'With it (VE Day) being 80 years now, and as our serving personnel from that time reach an age many never thought they'd see, it's essential we keep their sacrifices and memory alive.'
Her co-host, former BBC Breakfast star Dan, told the Mail he considered it 'a real privilege' to be 'standing on that stage introducing some amazing people'.
'Those values of freedom and democracy matter today.'
Marking the anniversary, King Charles also used a keynote speech to call for greater efforts towards global peace.
With conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East and across the African continent, His Majesty suggested it was time to remind ourselves of the words of our great wartime leader, Sir Winston Churchill, who said: 'Meeting jaw to jaw is better than war.'
'In so doing, we should also rededicate ourselves not only to the cause of freedom but to renewing global commitments to restoring a just peace where there is war, to diplomacy, and to the prevention of conflict,' he said.
'For as my grandfather [King George VI, who was monarch during the Second World War] put it: "We shall have failed, and the blood of our dearest will have flowed in vain, if the victory which they died to win does not lead to a lasting peace, founded on justice and established in good will."
'Just as those exceptional men and women fulfilled their duty to each other, to humankind, and to God, bound by an unshakeable commitment to nation and service, in turn, it falls to us to protect and continue their precious legacy – so that one day hence generations yet unborn may say of us: "they too bequeathed a better world".'

Our UK seaside village is inundated with tourists after TV show made us globally famous – it's forcing us out our home
A POPULAR TV show is forcing residents to leave their picturesque coastal village - because it has become a mecca for tourists. Residents in the Cornish village of Port Isaac have fumed that droves of Doc Martin fans arriving each year have made their town unlivable. 9 9 9 Tens of thousands of 'Clunatics' - the nickname for fans of the show and star Martin Clunes - flock to the peaceful fishing village annually. During the summer months, the town's narrow winding lanes are so crowded that locals steer clear of the historic harbour. Fans from the UK, USA, Australia and mainland Europe has turned the once quiet village into an international tourism hub. To some in Port Isaac, this has brought new opportunities including walking tours, cafes and merchandise shops. Rubber-necking tourists reportedly flock to view iconic landmarks such as the home of Martin Clunes' character Dr Martin Ellingham, and Aunty Ruth's cottage above Squeezy Belly Alley. But locals have suggested that their home has become a "victim of its popularity". Over the past two decades, house prices in the area - renamed Port Wenn on the show - have quadrupled. Mum-of-two Anne Wilce, 44, a lifelong Port Isaac resident, told how it had become "unrecognisable". She fumed: 'It is horrific, there is no affordable housing available for anybody now. 'My sons are 19 and 22 and they won't ever be able to afford to buy a house at this rate. 'Without more affordable housing in the village the younger generation will move away because there is nothing here for them. 'My house is 30 years old and it's part of the last affordable housing that has been built here. 'I don't go down to the village centre, I have no reason to because it's all second homes. "Even when something does come up for sale it's ridiculously priced - nobody around here can afford it. 'Doc Martin brought a whole load of money into the village which has created jobs for people and helped this community. "But it is also a victim of its popularity and it doesn't feel like our village any more.' Tourism has long since overtaken fishing as Port Isaac's main industry. Local businesses have thrived as a result of the town's worldwide fame. 9 9 9 John Cleave, who was brought up in the village and runs the Boathouse fashion and gift shop, agrees that the show has changed village life. "The locals talk about BDM – that's Before Doc Martin. "It was always favoured by comparatively few people who simply saw it as a beautiful, typical Cornish fishing village. "As a business you could close your doors from October to Easter and it wouldn't make a lot of difference. "Thanks to Doc Martin we now have all-year-round trade." The British comedy-drama first aired in 2004. On the outer edge of the village - next to Port Isaac's real GP surgery - sits a small housing estate containing some of the village's only affordable homes. They were constructed around 30 years ago and according to residents they were the last affordable homes built in the village. There are now just two active fishing boats remaining in the village - compared with 174 holiday lets on Airbnb alone. In the past year, semi-detached properties in Port Isaac sold for an average of £810,000, with terraced properties fetching £616,250, according to Rightmove. Shop worker Elisha Scott, 19, and her family have lived in the area for 10 years. She said: 'Nobody my age can afford to rent let alone buy a house here, all my friends still live with their parents. 'I'm not really thinking about house prices though because I don't think I'll stay here for a long time, there just aren't the job opportunities. 'Doc Martin definitely made a difference to Port Isaac, there are always fans of the show looking around the village. "What has come with that is a lot of people buying second homes here which has made it too expensive for locals.' Earlier this month a new plan was unveiled to build more affordable homes for local people. Tre Haven Community Land Trust (CLT) has started negotiations with Cornwall Council to purchase land for 25 affordable housing developments. The proposal has support from the area's Lib Dem MP Ben Maguire and local celebrity chef Nathan Outlaw. But critics point out the site sits on a main road several miles from the village - with almost no public transport links to shops or schools. Unemployed Ciaran Patching, 20, said: 'It took me two years of searching and I feel incredibly lucky to be here, before that I was living with my mum in the town. 'I would love to be able to buy my own house here but it doesn't feel like that will ever be an option at the moment. 'Port Isaac is definitely very popular in summer but in winter it can be dead. "The popularity of Doc Martin has helped a lot of businesses around here but it has made it hard for year round residents.' 9 9 9

MP Natalie Fleet who fell pregnant at 15 after being groomed by an older man reveals the moment she realised she had been abused 25 years later
Labour MP Natalie Fleet has opened up about how she was groomed by an older man as a teenager, before giving birth aged just 15. The politician, who represents Bolsove in Derbyshire , revealed last year that she was a victim of 'statutory rape' after being 'groomed' by a much older man who lived in her area. Speaking to the Guardian, Fleet, who is now 41, revealed she only started to see her 'teenage relationship' as grooming and the 'sex' as statutory rape after she entered parliament last year. The politician first opened up about the experience in an interview with GB News, just weeks after winning her seat in last year's general election. She has spoken about her experience on a number of occasions since, and has used her platform to campaign for the strengthening of legal protections of children who are born by rape. In a new interview with The Guardian, Fleet has shared further detail about the harrowing event, and now realises how it 'was just lies to have sex with a teenage girl'. She described how she, a young girl weathering a multitude of storms, found herself looking for love in an older man who lived a few streets away. 'He told me he loved me and that I was amazing and I believed him,' said the MP, who has chosen not to name the father of her daughter, who is now 24. 'I thought we were in a loving relationship that would go long-term. I didn't know it was just lies to have sex with a teenage girl.' After a three-month relationship with the man, Fleet became pregnant with her daughter, whom she now calls the 'love of my life'. What had felt like a long time when she was a 'young and vulnerable' teenager, she now realises was 'not long at all'. When she told her much older boyfriend about the pregnancy, he immediately told her to terminate it and threatened to deny paternity if she went through with it - a reaction that left her crushed. She asked him how she'd managed to conceive if he'd been using protection, to which he 'mumbled' that he believed she'd been on contraception, despite never having asked. While she knew about the risks of pregnancy and contracting STIs, she'd been 'too embarrassed' to ask about protection, believing her partner to 'know what he was doing'. Admitting the pregnancy to her family was far worse, and described telling her mother as 'absolutely horrendous'. Her grandfather, a miner from Nottinghamshire who played a big part in her upbringing, screamed so loudly it 'didn't sound like a human'. He later came round and is now an incredibly doting grandfather and has regularly helped with childcare over the years. During the early days of her pregnancy, Fleet was left racked with shame - partly due to the unreservedly negative reactions from her teachers, relatives and peers - with little to no blame attributed to her boyfriend. Despite being under the care of a consultant, GP and midwife, no one enquired about the circumstances of her pregnancy, which she now believes was the result of 'statutory rape'. She credits the help of a government initiative, Sure Start, designed to support families in disadvantaged areas, with helping her to get her GCSEs while also being a full-time mother. Three months after the birth of her daughter, Fleet met her husband, who was three years above her at the same school. Now a heating engineer, it was only when Fleet first began opening up in interviews about having been groomed as child that people realised her husband wasn't the biological father of her daughter. She now views him as having 'chosen' to be the father of her first daughter. With the help of Sure Start, Fleet was able to go to college and get her A-levels before getting a history and politics degree from the University of Nottingham. By this point, she had given birth to her second child, a son, but found relating to her fellow students nearly impossible since their experiences of being able to 'roll out of bed' for a lecture was so far away from her own. She struggled so much that she ended up dropping out of university, a decision she described as 'horrendous'. 'That's when I thought everything people had said was true. I'd ruined my life. It took me a long time to rebuild,' she said. From there on, she had two more children, volunteered at a Citizens Advice bureau and joined the Labour party, later getting a job at the National Education Union, where she worked for three years right up until entering parliament. Only when she started work as an MP did she begin to think about the past, and came to realise that what she'd experienced as a teenager was in fact 'statutory rape'. When she spoke to her daughter, she was 'gobsmacked' that it her taken so long to cotton on to the cruel reality of her circumstances. Since opening up about her past, Fleet has been in contact with many other women who have found themselves in similar situations - saying they've approached her in the street and have sent her letters. She told the publication that her 'dream' was that women across the country will be able to come forward knowing they'll have 'an MP who believes them'. Fleet also campaigns for the implementation of legal protections for children who are born as a result of rape. 'People don't believe me when I share that there is nothing stopping perpetrators having access to children conceived via rape,' she wrote in Glamour. 'They are horrified that a rapist can have legal rights over another human because of the crime they committed. A child conceived via rape cannot be the only proceed of crime that a convicted criminal has lifelong access to.' She is currently fighting in government to protect women, who's babies are born by rape, their perpetrators still holding legal access to visit them through what she called a 'legal loophole'. Fleet said more must be done to protect from the 'injustice' that keeps 'women silent for fear of further harm'. Speaking to GB News last year, she said she wanted to use her platform to talk more about women in her situation 'and do something about it'. She said: 'I really want to be a voice for all of those people, all of those women that have children in far from ideal circumstances.' Adding that her childhood experiences still had a 'massive impact' on her, including 'weekly nightmares', she said she was still 'so excited about what the next Labour Government is going to do'. She said: 'We're going to make sure that we're smashing down barriers to opportunity so that there can be more stories like mine. 'I am a product of the last Labour government. It wasn't a perfect government, but it changed my life and it was transformational. 'And that's the reason that it's worth doing a job where you can't go to the shop in your pyjamas anymore, but where you still have a panic alarm in your bag, your own children are potentially at risk, that's really awful. 'But when it means that you can make other children's lives, who aren't as fortunate, better, that's incredible.' The politician recently became a grandparent, her first daughter having had a daughter of her own. Fleet's husband has already committed to taking an active role in being a grandparent, having gone part-time so he is able to provide childcare .
