Strictly Style: Tess or Claudia?

If Strictly Come Dancing has taught us anything, it’s that the real magic isn’t just on the dancefloor – it's in the wardrobe. Week after week, we tune in as much for the dancing as we do for Tess and Claudia, who serve up serious style envy, effortlessly delivering a masterclass in red-carpet glamour (which is perfect in the lead up to party season).


While they share hosting duties, their style signatures couldn’t be more different. Tess loves body-hugging shapes, pops of bold colour and sequins – lots of them. Claudia, on the other hand, leans into sleek tailoring and monochrome (black and white), proving that understated can be just as show-stopping.


Whether you’re drawn to glitz or gravitate toward minimalism, here’s your guide to channelling your favourite ballroom muse this season.

TESS


Tess proves you don’t need to win the Glitterball Trophy to sparkle. Instead, sequins, off-shoulder styles and sky-high stilettos bring her signature mix of glamour and confidence. These are the party pieces that let you shine, shimmer and stand out in.

CLAUDIA


Playful yet powerful, Claudia proves that structured pieces are here to stay. Oversized blazers, sharp shirt-and-tie styling and sleek tailored trousers are almost guaranteed to score a perfect 10.
