She's at it again!

Holly in a beaded, backless extravaganza on Dancing on Ice

Holly Willoughby is at it again; outraging the prime-time TV watchers with another va-va-voom gown. I think she looks sensational. Who wouldn’t want to look like that? Not for a trip down the shops, granted, but for an event her Dancing on Ice wardrobe is spot on.

She dresses perfectly for her shape and her colouring; she sits on the boundary between sexy and sophisticated and pretty much always gets it right. If you have a big event coming up there are some rules to follow which should make your night memorable for all the right reasons and ensure that you won’t be cringing at the photos in years to come!

The key is to dress for yourself in something that boosts your confidence and makes you walk with a bit of wiggle and posture.

So, if you’re tall and want to emphasize your height, something floor-length with sleek lines will show off your statuesque frame.

If you have a classic hourglass frame take inspiration from Holly and delve into the archives of old Hollywood glamour for something that will display your figure to it’s best. Be conscious of too much embellishment or garish colours; anything too ‘on-trend’ will ruin the photo ops.

If you’re short follow the lead of someone like Sarah Jessica Parker or Kylie Minogue, both of whom are small but never look overpowered by their clothes on the red carpet.

Basically, wear something that makes you feel amazing. No one ever had a good night while running to the toilet to adjust their clothes, tugging at hemlines or sitting holding in tummys all night!
