Strictly Come Dancing is back and just as fabulous as ever. Every week, we always look forward to seeing what hostess with the mostess Tess Daly wears – and her Saturday evening attire didn't disappoint.

The 54-year-old presenter looked amazing in a black bodycon dress as she joined forces with Claudia Winkleman to welcome this year's crop of famous faces onto the dancefloor. Dazzling BBC viewers in her statement look, Tess' showstopping style featured a one-shoulder neckline and see-through mesh panels along the sides.

As for her hair the mum-of-two sported a bouncy blowdry that framed her face beautifully. Exuding radiance, Tess' makeup was comprised of a brown glittery eye, honey-hued blush and a high-shine nude lip gloss. 

Posting a photo of her latest look on Instagram, Tess captioned it: "Week 4 @bbcstrictly, here we go!"

Sparking a major reaction, fans were quick to compliment the star's outfit. "Utterly stunning. Dress, shoes, hair. Beautiful lady," wrote one. "So gorge!" added another. Meanwhile, Strictly star Nikita Kanda commented: "Stunning." 

We wouldn't expect anything less than perfection from Tess and her trusty stylist James Yardley. The duo, who have worked together for years, always come up with the perfect look for Saturday night TV.
