CHLOE KELLY shines in blue at the Etihad – but fans reckon she dazzled even brighter on red just down the road.

The Manchester City winger was called “seriously hot” in a tiny crop-top, mini shorts and high boots upon the red carpet for an MTV bash at the town’s Co-op Live Arena.

One fan raved: “Models be grateful Chloe Kelly chose football” – after the Lionesses star showed her taut abs in one of the event’s most daring outfits.

The 26-year-old had sparkled in a full-length white gown at her wedding to long-term partner Scott Moore in July.

And last month England chief Sarina Wiegman reassured the ex-Everton ace she remains in her plans despite a tough fight for a starting role with City this season.

But there are no question marks over her place in the hearts of her huge following on social media.

“Cooking on and off the pitch,” said one fan on seeing snaps of Kelly with taut abs in a minimal outfit at the MTV European Music Awards on a chilly Sunday night.

Continuing the theme, another observer posted: “On and off the pitch slaying.”

“She looks so perfect, claimed a third admirer.

Other reactions included “Actually insane”… “Gorgeous”… and Damn”.

Extra-time matchwinner Kelly rated England’s Euro 2022 glory as the “best day of her life” – celebrating by whipping off her top in one of the tournament’s iconic images.

But that’s surely changed now.

Her smile sparkled as much as her dress when tying the knot with former Everton groundsman Moore four months ago.

Fellow top footballers Steph Houghton and Ruby Mace were bridesmaids.
