I'm working from home today and I have Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job on in the background, and I'm finding their cute banter so endearing. I'm also smitten with Amanda Holden's outfits in the show - her summery looks are making me forget that it's grey and miserable outside.
With spring just around the corner, I'm delving into Amanda's outfits on the show in order to get some new additions to my wardrobe.
Amanda rocks more than just overalls on BBC's Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job
It's clear to see that Amanda styles herself for this show - and that she loves holiday fashion. Last year, when she created a collection for Lipsy, she did lots of interviews about ageless fashion. Talking to Yahoo, Amanda said: "I hate it when there's an age put on fashion – the idea that you can't get your knees or your arms out if you're a certain age. I don't think like that. I dress for myself and other women, and I really try to encourage self-confidence."
The mother of two continued: "You can often change how you feel by feeling good in what you're wearing – it's like armour, isn't it? Putting on your eyelashes, putting on a fabulous dress... You can face the day. I just hope that a woman seeing this collection will say, "Do you know what? I'm gonna wear that. She's 53, I'm 53, I'm going to bloody wear it!"
There's no denying that Amanda has great style when she's dressed up for work on Capital Radio, and she looks incredible when she's a judge on Britain's Got Talent, and now I realise she can do 'working abroad' great too.
Amanda Holden's outfits on Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job
Amanda Holden gives major summer inspiration with her lemon print dress with thigh split. I've tried to find the exact one, but no joy. Though don't worry as I've found a few fab lookalikes. I love this Boden lemon print sun dress (swoon!) and this super affordable version from Cupshe,
In the first episode, Amanda was wearing her Amanda Holden x Lipsy dress which has sadly sold out. But have no fear, I've found a really great lookalike from COS. And what's more, it's on sale.
She's wearing it with her go-to white pumps - the Superga Cotu trainers, which are currently on sale for £28. They go perfectly with lots of her outfits on the show.
Accessory-wise, she's amping up the glam with her black Chloe 'Faye' crossbody bag. Sadly, this is an old style but this Charles & Keith bag is giving a slightly more modern look.
I nearly fell off my chair when Amanda wore this cute little two-piece set from Laura Ashley. Yes, Laura Ashley. Amanda dresses so well for beach days - no one does holiday style quite like Amanda.
She's wearing her Superga Cotu trainers again - a real must-have for those long filming days.
A linen waistcoat is the ideal choice for the warmer months. I love Amanda's Mango one but alas, it's sold out. I have found this Karen Millen one that's oh-so similar and will look great styled over a white top. I also love this Phase Eight ensemble that matches Amanda's look.
Amanda's denim jacket gets a lot of love on Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job. I don't know where her exact denim jacket is from but I've tracked down this beauty from Cotton Traders that's very similar.
Dress-wise, I think this River Island dress looks a lot like Amanda's. What do you think?
I hate to disappoint you but this gorgeous green and white co-ord is out of stock on the H&M website. If Amanda's looking for the 2025 new version, I think she'll be thrilled with this new H&M floral co-ord. If it's green and white you're after, I adore this Farm Rio skirt and top outfit.
She accessorised with a white Marks & Spencer fedora - for this year there's a new natural version.
