The Strictly judge kicked off the launch of season 18 in style, wowing fans in a sparkly dress from Alex Perry in an eye-popping orange colour.
Featuring long sleeves, padded shoulders and a fitted silhouette, Motsi's glamorous midi was sure to turn heads, especially when paired with strappy heels and her sleek brunette bob.
Although the sparkly midi no longer seems to be available to buy, Alex Perry does have a similar sequined tulle gown – the only difference being the longer length and pooling train.

Costing £2,550, the dress is clearly already very popular, with several sizes low on stock – so you'll need to act fast if you want to copy Motsi's style.

Motsi and Strictly presenter Claudia Winkleman appear to have several similarities when it comes to their fashion choices, even working with the same stylist Sinead McKeefry. Similar to Motsi's dazzling dress, Claudia's outfit was a bronze, sequinned trouser suit from Topshop.
The Strictly judge's first outfit of the 2020 show was stunning!
"Imagine if I woke up like this lol. I wish but I didn’t!! Thank you to my fabulous team @sineadmckeefry @marcosgmakeup @alishadobson!!" Motsi captioned a photo on Instagram as she posed next to her judge's podium – a new measure introduced to ensure social distancing measures were upheld.
Her followers were quick to comment, including sister Oti Mabuse and former Strictly star Emma Barton. One follower wrote: "Life needs a little sparkle at the minute more than ever. And that dress," and a second added: "Sis that dress."
