The prestigious Pride of Britain Awards are currently taking place in London, with various celebrities gracing the red carpet. Among them is Helen Skelton, who looked stunning in a black velvet maxi dress by Self Portrait. The dress, known as the Strapless Cutout Velvet Peplum Maxi Dress, is originally priced at £480 but is now available at a 50% discount, making it £240.
This dress is an ideal choice for formal events like Christmas parties or black-tie affairs. Its black velvet fabric exudes luxury, featuring cutout details that offer a perfect balance between revealing skin and maintaining elegance.
The fitted bodice accentuates the figure, while the peplum detail adds flair. The column skirt complements the waist ruffle, creating a flattering and comfortable silhouette. Helen accessorized the outfit with a statement necklace and a chic Inrouche Suede Ruched Clutch Bag from Daniel, priced at £149.
For those looking to replicate Helen’s style on a budget, alternatives like the Sarifa Black Velvet Strapless Corset Midi Dress from Club L (£150) or the ASOS DESIGN Embroidered Bust Cut Out Velvet Maxi Dress (£95) offer similar looks at more affordable prices.
Helen’s ensemble showcases a modern take on classic Hollywood glamour, emphasizing simplicity to let the dress shine. While her shoe choice remains unseen, her accessory selection enhances the overall elegance of the outfit.
