Stop the search, Helen Skelton's ruby red sequin skirt is the only festive party piece you need this season
Helen's dazzling ruby red midi is a real festive showstopper


Helen Skelton brought all the seasonal glamour to her latest outfit must-have - and we're on the hunt for a ruby red shimmering skirt of our own.
The hunt for Christmas party outfit ideas is well underway, and in the name of being sustainable, pieces that move seamlessly between the festive season and being a part of your overall capsule wardrobe are to be coveted. Helen Skelton's latest outfit inspiration provides just that - a gorgeous long sequin ruby skirt that is both beautifully festive for the winter months, but pairs well with other wardrobe staples for an all-year-round showstopping look.
The sequin trend has taken off this year and won't be going anywhere soon, meaning anything you buy adorned with the added shimmer of sparkle will not only put you at the forefront of the fashion curve, but make you feel amazing in the process. Wearing her eye-catching red skirt during an episode of BBC Morning Live, Helen teamed hers with an artfully tucked in red blouse, and the all-red monochrome look was absolutely on point - we can't wait to emulate the same chic and stylish look ourselves.
