After Claudia Winkleman surprised everyone by announcing that she would be stepping down as the host of Strictly Come Dancing after this season, she continued to impress in her usual style. For the show’s Icons Week, she chose a stunning collared mini dress from Albaray that is still available for purchase at under £100.
The specific dress Claudia wore is the Contrast Collar and Cuff Velvet Dress, priced at £99 and currently in stock in sizes eight to 18. While it was showcased during Icons Week, the dress exudes a chic and sophisticated Wednesday Addams vibe that is versatile for various occasions throughout the year, including upcoming Christmas parties.
The dress’s classic black velvet material is elegantly complemented by the contrast collar and cuffs, offering a touch of style without being overly flashy. Pairing it with biker boots and a coat creates a smart office or casual look, while adding a pop of color with accessories can easily transition it into a party outfit.

Additionally, New Look’s Black Velvet Collared Mini Dress is on sale for £26.99, featuring a contrast white collar and sparkling buttons for a touch of elegance.
