The radio star recently made the decision to embrace her natural skin more and therefore didn’t wear any false tan for the glam event.
Roz explained her reasons why saying: “I’ve been wearing fake tan since I was 13. I feel like I’ve become really reliant on it to feel confident.
“Because I’ve pretty much never gone anywhere without fake tan, I had to go out and buy a new foundation.
“I’m just trying to embrace my naturally very, very pale skin a little bit this winter.”
Roz posed for some stunning snaps and shared them on Instagram last night.

The Tipperary beauty and her radio star pal Emma Power have been hosting the midweek afternoon 2FM slot from 3pm to 6pm since October.
NEW RADIO SLOTThe coveted show was previously held by The 2 Johnnies, who were then replaced temporarily by Lottie Ryan and David O’Reilly over the summer.
Roz and Emma also gained another co-host, Graham Smyth, for their move.
The pair previously presented their 2FM show on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 3pm.
The 34-year-old has said the move from weekends to weekdays has been “bittersweet”.
She told the RTE Guide: “It’s been nice having my weekends off, well I say off, but I’m never fully off. I loved our weekend slot, and I felt we had built up a strong listenership.
“Our numbers were fantastic, and it felt like we had our own little community there. So, it’s been sad stepping away from that for a while, it’s bittersweet.”
2FM have yet to reveal whether Roz will be sticking to the weekday slot but she’s happy to play it by ear and go “where she’s wanted”.
