As Britain’s Got Talent returns to our screens for its 19th series, all eyes are once again on the judging panel – not just for the Golden Buzzers, but for the sartorial fireworks provided by Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.
At 55, Amanda continues to tear up the rulebook on “age-appropriate” dressing, proving that confidence is the best accessory any woman can wear.
Whether she’s sparking a flurry of Ofcom complaints with a daringly sheer neckline or stopping traffic in head-to-toe latex, Amanda’s style is a masterclass in glitz and glamour. But while her custom-made couture costs thousands, her look is surprisingly easy to replicate.
Here is the ultimate guide to Amanda Holden’s 2026 style secrets and how you can bag the look for a fraction of the price.
Amanda’s Daring Dresses

To emulate this without causing a neighborhood scandal, focus on fit and don’t be afraid to bare.

To replicate this, avoid super oversized trends that swallow your figure. Instead, look for blazers with built-in shoulder pads and a tapered waist.

I’ve done my research (OK, I’ve scrolled down her Instagram feed) and Amanda loves a shoe that matches her dress – whether it’s a sky-high sandal, a pointy court shoe or an embellished metallic heel.
