Claudia Winkleman wore a stunning maxi dress while presenting Strictly Come Dancing at the weekend.
Her all-black velvet number from luxe label, The Vampire's Wife, was a masterclass in effortless glamour.
In a post shared to Instagram, Claudia posed for the camera. With her usual sense of dry humour, she wrote: "I have proposed to this dress."
Emma Willis, Fleur East and Jo Whiley, among others, were quick to compliment Claudia's beautiful outfit.
She wore the Night Sparrow Dress by The Vampire's Wife. Crafted rom sheer tulle and appliquéd with jet black velvet blooms, it also comes with a bias cut silk satin teddy to be worn underneath.
Complete with a high neckline, defined bodice and puffed cap sleeves, the dress gives a whisper of Victoriana alongside chic glamour.
While Claudia's dress costs £1,795, you can also re-create a purse-friendly version of her all-black velvet outfit. Opt for something similar from Anthropologie; The Somerset Maxi Dress costs a fraction of the price at £148 (at the time of writing).
The dress worn by the Traitors presenter was from designer brand, The Vampire's Wife. The luxe label is the brainchild of Susie Cave, an English model who was inspired by her fashion background.
Susie - who is married to musician and actor Nick Cave - got the name for her label from Nick's abandoned book project, which was also called The Vampire's Wife.
