Gillian Taylforth's blush pink jumpsuit is a sophisticated alternative to dresses for summer weddings
She attended the British Soap Awards wearing an all-in-one you can find on the high street


The British Soap Awards air on ITV1 this evening, and if you keep an eye out, you might just spot this gem of a jumpsuit in the mix.
We're huge jumpsuit fans here at woman&home, so when we spotted EastEnders star Gillian Taylforth arriving at the event in style wearing a blush pink all-in-one, we had to know where it was from. Looks expensive, doesn't it?
In fact, it's from Phase Eight, the British clothing brand that is a go-to for occasionwear. One of the label's jumpsuits made it onto our list of the best mother of the bride outfits, and this one has to be a contender if you're looking for wedding guest outfits.
The sculptural bow at the neckline is simply stunning, and Gillian showed it off perfectly by wearing her hair up, adding only a sparkly bracelet. The best thing about a jumpsuit is quite how fuss-free it is. You won't have to spend any time ahead of a big event deciding whether this top works with that skirt!

One happy customer wrote: "This jumpsuit is absolutely stunning... I love the bow detail and it fits perfectly." £169 might feel like a lot to spend, but it's a whole outfit in one and you'll be reaching for it every time you have a glamorous event, whatever the weather.
I really like the idea of styling this strapless jumpsuit from Zara over a sheer pussybow blouse, or even a white cotton T-shirt to keep things a bit more casual. The options are endless, but for more inspiration check out our how to style jumpsuits guide.
If you're wondering what to wear to a wedding, blush pink is a great option. It's safe enough not to be mistaken for white, and if you're not a fan of florals, this is a minimalist, elegant choice.
Between us on the fashion team, we've recently been asking can you wear red to a wedding? but if you're not sure about such a bold pop of colour, pale pink is the perfect hue for you.
The 'Stephy' jumpsuit from Phase Eight is selling out fast, and it's available in UK sizes 6 to 20. The upper half is made from a different fabric from the trousers, giving the look of separates. So it looks like you've put even more thought into your ensemble. We won't tell anyone your secret!

Gillian posed with soap legend Anita Dobson as they arrived at the event. Anita gave her friend a run for her money, wearing a blingy embellished blazer with matching leggings and a slogan T-shirt.
