As Halloween week arrived in the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom on Saturday night, host Tess Daly defied expectations in a devil red mini dress and glittering scarlet heels.
The BBC presenter, 54, couldn't have rocked a more glamorous ensemble as she co-hosted the sixth week of the competition beside Claudia Winkleman, 51.
A lady in red in a sequin number from Karen Millen, Tess' statement mini dress featured an asymmetrical skirt adorned with a daring thigh-split and a fringed hemline. Her feminine silhouette looked incredible in the fitted number, which she paired with whimsical ruby slippers from Dune.

"It’s spooky season on @bbcstrictly," penned the star, which sparked a flurry of comments from Strictly fans.
"Another gorgeous dress Tess, I love it," wrote one fan, as another penned: "Red is definitely your colour." A third added: "You look stunning Tess, what a dress!"

"Tess and Claudia are very different women, they don’t dress the same, so Sinead McKeefry (Claudia's stylist) and I don’t really co-ordinate. We do check that no one’s wearing the same thing across the board, from judges to the presenters, to make sure there’s no overlap."
James added: "’I've never really known anyone like Tess who has such a love for clothes and she enjoys trying things on. We know what works and what doesn’t."
