The stylish WAG posed for photographers in a short, low-cut cream dress and black tights.
The renowned shopaholic was attending Closer’s fourth birthday party at Pangaea nightclub in Piccadilly, central London - she has a column in the weekly magazine.
Also at the bash were TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson and former Big Brother star Jade Goody, who looked glamorous in a royal blue dress and black belt.
The Big Brother contingent were out in force - BB5 star Michelle Bass, opting for plunging pink, was joined by some of this year’s contestants at the party.
Welsh beauty queen Imogen Thomas turned up in thigh-high boots and a silver short-sleeved sweater dress, while Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace chose a more casual look, wearing a white vest and distressed denim miniskirt.
Leilani Dowding and Alicia Douvall also joined the celebration.
Coleen pretty in pink for ASDA - Sept 12, 2020
Pretty WAG Coleen McLoughlin is encouraging the public to be "pretty in pink" by modelling ASDA’s Tickled Pink prom dress. The sexy shot celebrates the 10th anniversary of ASDA’s Tickled Pink for Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Campaign.
Last week, the fiancee of football star Wayne Rooney, said in her column in Closer magazine: "Apparently more and more young women are getting into debt because they try to shop and party like a footballer’s wife. If I heard of anyone doing that I’d tell them to get a grip. "There’s so much great stuff on the high street - you can look amazing on a budget."
The 20-year-old hopes that the shopping public will follow her advice and the £20 prom dress will be whipped off the shelves, along with £12 evening shoes and £4 beaded charm bracelets, which have been designed for the cause.
The campaign has raised a whopping £11.4 million over the past nine years, enabling Breast Cancer Care to develop its centres and helping the Breast Cancer Campaign fund 12 independent research venues.
Other celebrities that are supporting the outlet this year include Geri Halliwell, Kate Winslet, Bianca and Sheryl Gascoigne.
Coleen says to get a grip - Aug 30, 2020
Women who get into debt as they ape the lifestyle of a footballer’s wife have been warned "to get a grip" by glamorous WAG Coleen McLoughlin. The fiancee of England soccer star Wayne Rooney, known for her love of shopping, has said anyone can look great on a budget.
In her latest column for Closer magazine the 20-year-old said: "Apparently more and more young women are getting into debt because they try to shop and party like a footballer’s wife. "If I heard of anyone doing that I’d tell them to get a grip."
Research published last week showed an increasing number of women are becoming bankrupt, crippled by credit card debts and soaring household bills. The proportion of women bankrupts has risen from 42% to 44% over the past year, according to accountants Wilkins Kennedy. Since 2002, the figure has risen from 32% to 42%.
Coleen has been pictured laden with bags from London stores but later this week will make her debut in a TV advert for supermarket Asda’s clothing fashion brand George.

Coleen met aspiring footballer Wayne Rooney at St John Bosco Catholic school where, she says, he pestered her in to going out with him by constantly asking ’are you gonna ring me?’ Their first date is reported to have been at the local cinema, where they watched Austin Powers 2. Although Coleen left school with a respectable ten GCSEs and aspirations to become an actress (she had starred in school productions of Grease and Bugsy Malone), by this time she had become something of a celebrity as Wayne became one of England’s most famous young footballers.
Tabloid excitement followed as Coleen shopped ’til she dropped, forgave Wayne an ill advised dalliance with a prostitute, accepted a proposal on a petrol station forecourt then threw her £46,000 ring in to the otter enclosure at the zoo. By the time she was 18 Coleen was one of the most photographed women in the country and her developing style had won her legions of fans.
Before long Coleen had no need to spend her boyfriend’s money - she had amassed a fortune of £5.5m of her own through sponsorship deals, writing her own column for Closer, modelling for Asda (whom she is also in talks to design a range for), and a deal to write her own book, Welcome to My World. Meanwhile she has challenged public perception through a presenting stint on Tonight With Trevor McDonald in which she spoke about Rett’s Syndrome.
Coleen, who lives in Cheshire, will reportedly marry Wayne in 2008.
