After surprising everyone by announcing that she would be stepping down as the host of Strictly Come Dancing after this season, Claudia Winkleman continued to shine with her impeccable style. During Icons Week on the show, she gracefully flaunted a collared mini dress from Albaray, still available for purchase at a budget-friendly price below £100.
The specific dress worn by Claudia is the Contrast Collar and Cuff Velvet Dress, which is currently in stock in all sizes from eight to 18 and priced at £99. While perfect for Icons Week, the dress exudes a chic and sophisticated vibe reminiscent of Wednesday Addams, making it a versatile wardrobe choice suitable for various occasions throughout the year.
Despite its subtle Halloween touch, the Contrast Collar and Cuff Velvet Dress is a timeless piece that can be worn beyond the spooky season, including upcoming Christmas parties. Its elegant black velvet material, paired with the contrast collar and cuffs, adds a touch of style to its simple silhouette.
Pairing the dress with biker boots and an overcoat creates a stylish office or casual look, while switching to kitten heels, statement earrings, and a bold red lip instantly transforms it into a party-ready ensemble. For those interested in similar styles, Next offers alternatives like the Love & Roses Black Embellished Woven Collar Knitted Mini Dress for £52 and the Black Velvet Mini Shirt Dress for £49.
