If I was going to the TV Baftas tonight, I'd wear Giovanna Fletcher's chic midnight navy number
Giovanna's glossy blue dress is a winning choice for anybody unsure about wearing bold prints


With the TV Baftas taking place tonight, I have occasionwear on the mind. I love a boldly printed dress, but sometimes a fancy soiree calls for something a little more understated and classic.
If you're looking for a simple-yet-special piece, you'll find the inspiration you need from Giovanna Fletcher. Whilst she's no stranger to the TV Baftas, actually the outfit I'm talking about is the one she wore to meet The King at a Palace event earlier this month.
The presenter and actress looked incredible in a navy satin dress by Wyse London, which she styled to perfection with a pair of embellished court shoes and a simple black box clutch. The star’s glossy dress had loose and flowy long sleeves, a fitted waist and a flattering A-line skirt. It was a winning choice for a Royal occasion, and will work equally as well as a best wedding guest dress or for a garden party. The rich, blue tone feels a little more modern than a classic LBD, and it's a great option for anybody who feels daunted by bolder colours or prints.
Sadly, Giovanna’s exact dress isn’t available right now, but I’ve rounded up the rest of her outfit as well as some similar buys below to recreate her look.

This dress has a very similar shape to Giovanna's and comes in a slightly lighter shade of blue that is perfect for sunny weather. Finish with simple nude heels and clutch to let this dress have it's moment.
The embellished hearts on the front of these black court shoes add a playful twist to the classic style. Wear them with a block coloured dress or use them to finish a cami and jeans outfit for date night.
A neat and simple box bag like this one will go with absolutely every dress in your wardrobe, so you'll get plenty of wear from it. Carry as a clutch or use the gold chain to hang on your shoulder.

An empire line dress like this sits under the bust and flows out slightly, which makes it a stylish dress to hide a tummy. Add embellished metallic shoes and a slick of lipstick and you'll be all set.
A block colour and fuss-free dress like Giovanna's not only looks great, but is super easy to style up in multiple ways. Try finishing yours with black accessories like the celebrity, or up the glamour with shiny gold sandals and dangly earrings. Jewel tones go well with most colours, and if you want to inject some pattern into your ensemble, you could opt for a printed bag or a cropped floral jacket.
