Kate Ritchie had the right idea at Nova's entertainment awards.
Relishing the opportunity to let her hair down at one of the more casual red carpet events in her jam-packed calendar, the Kate, Tim & Marty star stepped out in a practical-yet-classy pinstripe pocket gown.
The 39-year-old appeared in high spirits as she posed alongside her colleagues at the Sydney event's photo wall on Friday.

Kate's full-length gown was form-fitting at the bust but tapered gradually to the ankle, giving way to a pair of gold flats.
The veteran actor's colour-matching was in fine form too, with her burgundy painted toenails pairing nicely with her similarly coloured gown.
Likewise, Kate's gold dangle earrings had excellent synergy with her comfortable shoes.
