Strictly is back! We're so excited to see all the celebrities battle it out for the Glitterball Trophy, not to mention another year of the BBC ballroom show's fabulous fashion.
Coming in strong for the launch show this weekend, Claudia Winkleman made a big impression in white power suit as she joined co-host Tess Daly for the glittering launch night of the 2024 series.
The 52-year-old presenter looked fabulous in her statement white blazer paired with matching cigarette trousers, white stiletto heels, and a contrasting black top.
Never one to break from tradition, The Traitors star wore her glossy black hair in her trademark poker straight style and stuck to her tried and tested formula of heavy kohl-lined eyes and nude lips.
Tess posted a sneak peek of herself and Claudia's launch night looks. The star wrote: "It's launch day! Time to meet this year's cast of @bbcstrictly 24. See you at 7:20 pm [heart emoji]."

She explained: "With Claudia and Motsi wearing my pieces, I think it's really cool. It's prime-time TV, there are so many families watching the show together. It does bring families together on a Saturday night.

"Especially having someone like Claudia in my designs is wonderful, she's so relatable and not intimidating in the slightest. It's really nice to see our designs TV."
