IT'S Saturday, and once again everyone is talking about Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly's Strictly Come Dancing outfits.

While some compared the pair's Blackpool looks to Quality Street wrappers, others seemed to love how OTT they were.

Tess, 49, went all out in a gold Marchesa gown.

The floor-length number featured a one-shoulder strapline, ruched detailing and a sexy thigh slit.

She'd teamed the piece with heeled sandals and statement drop earrings, while her blonde locks had been styled into Hollywood-style waves.

Smoky eyes and glossy lips completed her look.

Unfortunately for anyone who's got their eye on Tess's blingy maxi, it's a little on the pricey side.

It's retailing on Net-a-Porter for £805.

But there are some incredible dupes out there - Boohoo's rose gold piece also has one shoulder and a thigh split, and is a total steal at just £14.40.

If you'd prefer a longer style for a glamorous occasion, Quiz's £89.99 creation is a real showstopper.

SilkFred's £12.50 piece is made of a similar lamé material.

Claudia, 46, also went for an eye-popping dress.

Her red sequin Karen Millen piece is a little cheaper than Tess's, but will still set you back £250.

If you're after a similar number for your festive wardrobe, we've been on the lookout for a more affordable alternative.

At £134, Little Mistress's ombre maxi dress is just that.

It costs over £100 less than Claudia's, and features the same high neckline.

Over on Boohoo, you'll find a midi in a near-identical shade to the Karen Millen frock - that's just £28.

Looking for something super-sophisticated? SilkFred's £55 long-sleeved number is perfect for a winter night out.
