The host has been rocking a variety of looks that perfectly blend her cool, relaxed style with a touch of glam. Her recent outfits are not only ideal for hosting Strictly, but they also make the perfect Christmas party get-up thanks to their subtle luxe details and materials like velvet. Claudia’s latest outfit success was the Velvet Long Sleeve Detail Mini Dress from Karen Millen, which she donned during the Saturday 19 October show – and it’s still up for grabs at £99.

Not only is burgundy the top trending colour of the season, but it’s perfect for adding a little pop to your festive outfit while still being elegant and understated enough to be worn long after the Christmas festivities. Apart from the colour difference, the deep red version of Claudia’s dress is exactly the same design, with long sleeves and a high neckline which both offset the short hemline to create a balanced look. It also features ruching details across the side and shoulders which help accentuate curves and create a flattering silhouette, while the soft stretchy velvet material hugs your figure to show it off.

The velvet mini dress is perfect for those festive season parties, with its statement padded shoulders that create a beautiful hourglass silhouette. This versatile dress can easily take you from desk to dancefloor; whether you’re pairing it with tights and edgy boots for a more day time look, or slamming it up with sparkly heels and glittering jewellery. Claudia’s latest velvet dress is also a great alternative to the nearly sold-out Albaray’s Collar and Cuff Velvet Dress, £99, which she wore earlier in the season. We’ve also found an adorable Black Velvet Tie Back Jolene Mini Dress by Nobody’s Child for £79, which you can snag in black or burgundy, reports the Mirror. With a breezy A-line shape and a stunning open back tied with an oversized bow, it’s perfect for those who prefer to stay away from bodycon dresses. Don’t leave your Christmas ensemble to the last minute this year – we’re here to ensure you’ll never be caught in a “what should I wear?!” panic again.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
