Black dresses are a go-to option for multiple occasions, but with its sheer sleeves, ruffle detailing and sequin embellishment, Hannah gave a nod to the festive season with this timeless chic style.

Paired with colour-popping fuchsia heels and a curled hairstyle, it made for a truly show-stopping red carpet look.

Filmed at the Coliseum in London, Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas has been described as a "musical extravaganza" which sees the Ted Lasso star reunite with a few famous faces to perform the festive classics.

The show has now launched on Apple TV and from what we've seen so far, there are plenty more stunning, sparkly outfits on display, including a strapless gold sequin gown.

Hannah has been spotted in a series of amazing outfits recently, including when the actress visited New York to attend a theatre event in October. She embraced a bold purple colour in a velvet waistcoat and matching trousers.

And at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards last month, Hannah wowed in a gown composed of green metallic sequins with black mesh sleeves which added a cool and edgy finish.
