Hannah Waddingham injected just the sunshine we needed during a gloomy transition from summer to autumn this week, as she stepped out in a sunny yellow dress in Los Angeles.

The Ted Lasso star and Eurovision host shone in a tiered maxi dress featuring a yellow, orange and pink floral print to sign off the summer season. And the best thing about the dress? It has pockets!

Is there anything more frustrating than having the perfect outfit but it being completely impracticable to wear? Well, Hannah has solved this in her latest look by opting for a stylish dress which includes the most lusted-after detail in any item of women's clothing: pockets.

Hannah's square neckline dress is by Borgo De Nor, a brand known for high-end, summery pieces in bold colours and prints. The star added a pair of pink strappy heels to finish off the look and wore her blonde locks in beachy waves for the occasion.
