It may only be the beginning of November but, by this point in the year, it's never too early to start seeking Christmas party outfit inspiration and you don't have to look any further than Tess Daly's latest Instagram post.
On Monday 7th November 2022, the Strictly Come Dancing co-host uploaded a photo of her latest outfit and it's getting us right in the festive mood. The 53-year-old was seen in an incredible sparkly shirt with sequins all over it, white trousers and glittery heels.
Unfortunately, the exact blouse by Mint Velvet (£109) is currently sold out in all sizes online. Luckily, we've found some great alternatives at purse-friendly prices.
