She was heading out to work for a day in the studio at Magic FM.
But Denise Van Outen certainly wasn't adhering to any form of office dress code as she stepped out in central London on Saturday.
Putting on a rather daring sartorial display, the 39-year-old presenter put her gym-honed pins on parade in an eye-wateringly tiny checked dress and killer heels.
Pins on parade: Denise Van Outen certainly wasn't adhering to any form of office dress code as she stepped out in central London on Saturday while en route to work at the Magic FM studios
Barely preserving her modesty, the theatre actress' skimpy green plaid garment looked more like an oversized T-shirt than a proper dress as she confidently strutted her stuff down the street.
The mother-of-one ensured she commanded attention even further by adding height to her frame with a pair of towering black suede shoe boots.
Denise carried a black leather jacket in her hand in case the spring weather took a turn for the worse, and sheltered her eyes with a pair of oversized sunglasses.

Let your legs do the talking in a dress like Denise's
We've seen some teeny tiny dresses in our time, but Denise Van Outen's tartan number takes the biscuit!
She paraded her pins wearing this super short dress, which she teamed with her favourite platform Chelsea boots (as if her legs weren't long enough already!), her Saint Laurent tassel bag slung over her shoulder, a black biker jacket and some obligatory oversized shades.
Fashion's plaid fad has been going on for a while now, but it's showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, the trend has been given a season appropriate update with lighter, brighter colour palettes like this one.
Denise is a girl after our own heart and more often than not shops on the high street. So we have rounded up our four favourite ways to steal her style, starting from just £10. We love the slouchy shape of Denise's, but this bodycon bargain at Boohoo is too tempting to resist!
Of course, if your legs aren't quite ready for the sun just yet, you can still get away with wearing opaque tights for a little while longer. Then switch to battered ankle boots as soon as the sun is here to stay.

...NOW GET ONE LIKE IT
The Essex girl wore her platinum blonde locks tumbling in loose waves around her shoulders, and completed her look with a delicate pendant and numerous bangles as she made her way to work.
The star of the small screen is certainly a busy bee at the moment, fitting in presenting her radio show with touring the country in one-woman show, Girl I Used To Know, and raising her three-year-old daughter Betsy alongside estranged husband Lee Mead.
Denise and Lee announced they had called time on their four-year marriage in July 2013, but remain friends.
A head for heights: The mother-of-one commanded attention even further by adding height to her frame with a pair of towering black suede shoe boots, while carrying a black leather jacket in her hand in case the spring weather took a turn for the worse
Giving her first newspaper interview since the split, Denise told The Sun on Sunday in February: 'Sometimes you just don't feel the same any more but loads of people spend their lives pretending.
'At the time the story broke, Lee and I hadn't been living together for quite a while so we were ready.
'I'm proud that we've come out of this as pals - you do that for your child. Some people think there should be a massive fallout but it doesn't have to be like that.'
