Kim Kardashian also stunned on the red carpet wearing a crystal-embellished gown last worn by Marilyn Monroe.

It comes as Nicola previously said that US reality star Kim was her 'bestie'.

Speaking to Bustle last week, the 35-year-old explained: “I woke up one morning and had a DM from Kim Kardashian.

“I was like, ‘What is going on?’ So weird! We talked about Bridgerton."

The pair have since kept in touch, with Nicola messaging Kim to wish her luck ahead of her appearance on Saturday Night Live.

The 35-year-old said: “I messaged Kim to say, ‘You’re gonna do great!’ And she said, ‘Thanks, I’m really nervous'.

“I told her, ‘No, you’re gonna kill it.’

“She’s so nice. I’d heard that about her from lots of different people, and I can attest to it now...

“Well, now I’m, like, best friends with Kim Kardashian," the Derry Girls actress said.
