On Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing - the first of the live shows - Claudia Winkleman rocked a super fun mini dress, and what's more, it was an absolute steal. Sporting a £45 velvet frill dress from Topshop, Claudia caused a mass sell-out just minutes after wearing it on the hit BBC show. Currently the dress only has availability in a size 18 - but fingers crossed it will be back in stock soon.
Claudia and Tess love working together
The party-appropriate dress is velvet, V-neck and is covered in a studded detail. The model on the Topshop website has been styled with a pair of ankle boots, but 46-year-old Claudia wore her dress with sky-high black stiletto shoes. The dress breaks a key 'style rule' when it comes to evening wear; the age-old belief of not showing off cleavage AND legs. Well, this dress does both - and it shows off the back! Swit swoo, Claudia.

The mum-of-three was joined by her fellow Strictly co-host Tess Daly as they posed in a lift in the BBC studios. Tess, styled by her go-to stylist James Yardley, looked gorgeous in Roland Mouret, one of the Duchess of Sussex's favourite designers.

Claudia and Tess are both known for their cool style - while Tess opts for a glossy, glam look, Claudia often goes a bit edgier, and favours the high-street and mid-range designers.
In an interview with Claudia back in 2017, she revealed to HELLO! That her style icon was ageing rock stars Steven Tyler and Chrissie Hynde. She said: "I love that ageing rocker look, dressed in black and looking like you slept in your make-up. I am convinced that I still have some eyeliner on from the '90s, and I'm good with that. And I'm good with ageing too. I mean I actually enjoy it, bring it on, it's a good thing to get older, it means you're alive."

She continued: "I don't make much of an effort and have a bit of a uniform; black jeans, black t-shirt, black boots preferably ones that jingle when I walk like a pirate boot, and an oversized coat or jacket. I don't like anything too perfect, or anyone who looks like they have just stepped out of a salon; that's not for me. Add a fringe and you can look messy and ramshackle but with a bit of oomph."
