Reigning champ Luke Littler is out to defend his crown in the capital.
But it was Paton’s “delightful” wardrobe choice that had darts fans talking before the opening match.
The 30-year-old rocked a fitted black dress and matching tights, along with black heels.
One lovestruck fan wrote on X: “Emma Paton looking absolutely delightful once again.”
A second gasped: “Emma Paton what a woman.”
While a third commented: “The last, Emma Paton Thursdays, for 2025.”
Paton turned heads earlier this month with a daring outfit choice at the Bafta TV awards.
The darts presenter revealed she rented the £631 dress through Hurr, a fashion rental and resale platform.

Paton is a former athlete and trained with some of Team GB’s track and field elite at Loughborough University.
She joined Sky in 2012, getting her big presenting break in 2019 – and has become the first lady of darts ever since.
Littler, 18, is the big favourite to retain his title at the O2.
The teenager hit a nine-darter in the 2024 final as he bagged the £275,000 prize.
Littler has since become world champion, with rival Nathan Aspinall suggesting The Nuke would not be playing darts in five years due to “burnout”
Responding to the comments, Littler said: “I know I’ve heard that, I don’t know where he’s got that from.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be here in 10 years.
“It’s crazy to even think about retiring. If I win 16 world titles like Phil [Taylor], I’ll retire.
“But I’m not even thinking about retirement at the minute – the money is there to be won, especially the World Championship but not only that everything has gone up.
“It is all about what you’re feeling and I’m sure I’ll be here for a long time.”
