With just under two weeks to go until the big day, it’s peak time for festive dressing.
I wasn’t going to buy much this year. I already have my Kate Middleton-approved Self-Portrait cardigan, so I thought I was pretty set for any festive event that might come my way. But then Amanda Holden stopped me in my tracks.

I love how Amanda really leaned into the theme, adding a gold quilted Michael Kors bag, matching shoes and sparkly jewellery. Perfect for hopping onto the Heart Breakfast Christmas Party bus in London. All aboard, I say!

Nadine Merabi
Elysia Gold Dress
This is the same dress Amanda’s wearing, and it truly is stunning. Aside from anything else, it’s got (drumroll, please…) pockets! I love dresses with pockets so this one’s got my name written all over it.
Monsoon
Edie Metallic Mary Jane Heels
Michael Kors
Tribeca Metallic Leather Convertible Crossbody Bag
Amanda’s carrying a slightly different version of this Michael Kors bag, but it’s really similar, and on sale for just £105. If you’ve done all your Christmas shopping, you definitely deserve to treat yourself.

Love & Roses
Gold Petite Jacquard Mini Dress
This option has an A-line silhouette and a cutesy collar, which gives it a vintage vibe. It’s available in regular or petite lengths, and would be such a sophisticated choice for a Christmas party.
M&S
Gold Jacquard V-Neck Mini Shift Dress
I cannot believe the price of this dress, it’s such a bargain. Team it with a pendant necklace to make the most of the V-neckline, plus the ruffled line down the front will elongate your figure.
ME+EM
Metallic Tweed Mini Dress
This is one of my top picks from the ME+EM sale. It’s available in all sizes from UK 4 to 16, and with a whopping 60% discount, it’s well worth investing in.
Amanda’s isn’t the first Nadine Merabi mini dress we’ve fallen in love with this week here at woman&home. Shirley Ballas wore an exquisite red velvet dress for the Strictly Come Dancing results show on Sunday, which we’ve been dreaming about ever since.
If, like me, you’re a little on the shy side when it comes to mini dresses, a thicker fabric like velvet or boucle-tweed is a great idea. You can, of course, add black tights instead of bare legs, but the most important ingredient is confidence. You absolutely can and should wear a mini dress – at any age.
