Anyone who knows me has invariably been subject <br>
<br>
to a spiel about how much I love Claudia Winkleman. In part, it's because she's so silly, and in part, it's because I'm a <br>
<br>
huge fan of everything she presents, from Strictly <br>
<br>
to The Traitors. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But even more than any of that, it's because I'm <br>
<br>
obsessed with everything she wears. I've spent a fortune copying her exact <br>
<br>
outfits, from her Sister Jane heart cutout dress to <br>
<br>
a bedazzled Nadine Merabi blazer that I definitely don't go anywhere fancy enough <br>
<br>
to wear.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Since 2005, Claudia has worked with stylist Sinead McKeefry to perfect her signature style.<br>
<br>
I'd describe it as soft goth: lots of black, velvet and <br>
<br>
chunky knits, with a fair few sequins and prints (particularly tartan) thrown in. I'm not alone in my reverence: there are entire Instagram accounts dedicated to tracking down the presenter's outfits.<br>
<br>
But while they offer incredibly useful style inspo, two issues arise repeatedly: Claudia's clothes are usually hugely expensive <br>
<br>
or sold out (or both).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So when the Strictly host stepped out in a typically preppy <br>
<br>
black velvet mini dress on Sunday, you'd be forgiven for assuming it <br>
<br>
was by some top-end designer. Well, you'd be wrong.<br>
<br>
The mini dress actually came courtesy of one of our favourite high street brands, Albaray - and you can pick it <br>
<br>
up for less than £100.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The dress is made from plush fabric with contrast satin detailing.<br>
<br>
The velvet makes it a little festive, perfect for celebratory bashes over the <br>
<br>
next few months, particularly when paired with white stilettos à la Claud.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But it could be just as easily dressed down with white trainers or ballet flats and a <br>
<br>
trench for a chic office outfit, so you'll certainly get your wear out of it. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Like all of Albaray's products, it's ethically made using responsible fabric and <br>
<br>
sent via a carbon-neutral shipping method, so you can feel good about the dress's eco-credentials as well as how it looks.<br>
<br>
It's currently in stock in a few sizes online (and in certain John Lewis <br>
<br>
concessions) but like most things Claudia wears, it won't stick around long.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Now excuse me while I go and add to cart.<br>
