Thinking about updating your wardrobe for autumn? It's certainly that time of year again, and burgundy shades are always a winner. If you find a cosy knit or a midi dress in a moody purple hue right now, you’ll get an endless amount of wear out of it over the coming months. And if you're searching for style inspiration, try singer Beverley Knight’s latest look.
The singer was spotted at the glitzy London premiere of the new movie Caught Stealing, wearing a beautiful plum-toned dress by British clothing brand Roksanda, which she styled with a pair of shiny court shoes in a matching autumnal colour. The designer label is a favourite of Kate Middleton's, and I love the textured fabric, flared drop waist design and contrasting yellow detailing at the waist.
Beverley’s outfit really wowed and felt very on-trend for right now, and it’s an easy look to emulate for both day and night plans. The star’s exact dress isn’t available right now (which is probably a good thing for my bank balance!), but I have rounded up some very similar-toned dresses below that will make a chic addition to any autumn capsule wardrobe.

The faux-knot at the waist of this jersey dress adds a high-fashion spin with minimal effort. Wear it with your most comfortable trainers and an oversized denim jacket.
The well-placed ruching and draping on this designer piece will act as a clever illusion to make your silhouette appear slimmer and taller. It's an investment piece, but one you'll love for years to come.
Mint Velvet's new autumn collection is well worth checking out, and burgundy corduroy is the ultimate look for autumnal weather. Try styling this dress with a pair of knee-high boots and a chunky knit cardigan.
Add shiny gold jewels and heels to this mid-length number, and you'll have a fresh new look as one of your date night outfits.
A silky texture adds a glamorous feel to this moody-hued trend that lends itself well to a special occasion. It's got clever but subtle padding at the shoulder to give it some structure. Pop it under a printed jacket and finish with slingback sandals.
If you don't feel very upper-arm confident right now, opt for loose and puffed sleeves that will provide some coverage without feeling restricting to wear. This is also available in a striking emerald green colour.
Plum and raspberry shades look fabulous as they are but they will also make a very stylish base for a wide range of patterns and other colours. Animal prints will look particularly special against burgundy pieces, and you could try adding a bright pink bag or a dark green coat for a bold colour-clash. For a more subtle approach, team your dress with soft camel shades or understated black.
