Presenter Amanda Holden resembled a shimmering siren on Saturday evening as she glammed up for Britain’s Got Talent’s first semi-final.
For the special occasion, the judge, 54, rocked a sparkling silver laser-cut dress from Annie’s Ibiza, complete with a high neck silhouette and a striking Baroque-inspired pattern embellished with crystals and intricate beading.
According to the brand’s website, the ‘Ornella’ dress “echoes a glass chandelier” and “draws inspiration from the grandeur of Florence’s Renaissance era—where art, architecture, and opulence flourished.”
Amanda ramped up the glamour with a pair of skyscraper Christian Louboutin heels, sculptural silver earrings and an elegant diamond bracelet.
She wore her honeyed locks in a super sleek high ponytail and accentuated her features with a bronzed beauty base, fluttery lashes and a slick of creamy nude lipstick.
“Starting with a sparkle,” the mother-of-two wrote in her caption.
Fans and friends instantly flooded the comments section with sweet messages. In awe of Amanda’s outfit, one wrote: “Goddess,” while a second remarked: “Wow! Absolutely stunning,” and a third chimed in: “Glowing as always,” followed by two white heart emojis.

The refreshingly candid star previously told Women’s Health magazine: “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,” Amanda told the publication.
“I don’t think like that. I dress for myself and other women, and I really try to encourage self-confidence. You can often change how you feel by feeling good in what you’re wearing – it’s like armour, isn’t it?”

Amanda’s family life
Away from the spotlight, the TV star relishes spending quality time with her record producer husband Chris Hughes and their two daughters, Lexi and Hollie. The family of four live in a stunning Surrey home complete with an outdoor pool and opulent interiors.
Other hotel-worthy details include a swanky bar area and an at-home gym. Swoon!
