Hannah Waddingham chooses the perfect colour palette for Together at Christmas, her red and white outfit delivered serious festive style
The actress made a statement in seasonal tones while at the special carol concert
This week is a busy one, and it’s not just the big day to think about when choosing your outfits. Boxing Day, NYE and all those days in between often bring celebrations and excuses for get-togethers, and if you’re in a panic about what to wear, I urge you to take a look at one of Hannah Waddingham’s most Christmassy looks.
The actress showed off a wonderfully festive ensemble while at the ‘Together at Christmas‘ concert in London earlier this month, and it’s an outfit that couldn’t be more perfect for this time of year. The star opted for a bright red midi dress by Self Portrait, layered under a fresh white coat before finishing with an Alexis Bittar bag and a pair of shiny black knee-high boots.
Hannah’s look was like a fashion-forward take on Old Saint Nick’s traditional attire, making it the ultimate inspiration for festive fashion. A great one to recreate for pretty much any plans over the next few days, these traditional hues are ones you can wear year in year out, and they'll never fail to deliver Christmas cheer. You can find the very same dress below, as well as some similar styles that will all look and feel directional for any soiree.
This ribbed knit dress has a fitted shape with a flicked-out skirt that will flatter your curves in all the right places. The beaded neckline ups the glam factor to give it an evening-ready feel.
This soft white coat has a crisp and modern aesthetic that will lift any outfit. Wear it loose and open for a modern vibe or for more definition, try cinching in your middle with the waist tie.
When it comes to the best knee-high boots, look for classic and understated styles like this pair, which will work with absolutely everything in your wardrobe.
