Amanda Holden is no stranger to releasing ensembles that elicit strong reactions from fans, whether positive or negative, but her recent one has irritated many.
The Heart Radio presenter posted a slow motion whirling video on Instagram, in an uncharacteristically covered-up style for the 52-year-old personality that is great for the holidays.
Amanda, who recently celebrated her wedding anniversary, wore a basic black top with a stunning sparkling sequin-covered skirt that flowed like liquid gold.
‘Skirt of #christmas #dreams … 🥂’ she accurately captioned her post to her two million followers, promoting the skirt.
‘I’m so lucky to have it,’ the presenter said in the video as she took fans through the elements of her look and where to find everything, adding: ‘How beautiful is this for the Christmas season.’
However, there was ‘no holden back’ as her dedicated fans expressed frustration as the skirt was both quite expensive and totally sold out.
Amanda stated that the gold skirt was part of the Paco Rabanne collaboration with H&M, but she did not divulge the price, which is £189.99 on the internet.
Fans weren’t happy with the expense as Georgia Rose commented: ‘Was hoping it was Lipsy 😂 a little out of my price range 🫣 x’
‘So it not for everyone very pricey just for people with money like her,’ wrote an annoyed William Corkish.
Others were quick to point out that her promotion of the skirt – which Amanda said made her feel like her ‘own disco ball, baby’ – was fairly pointless since it was already sold out.
Commenter Brady Faye lamented: ‘It’s sold out!! 😩😢xxx’
‘It sold out as soon as it went on sale in November. Maybe there will be some on Vinted next Christmas! 🤞,’ wrote forgiving fan Joanna Haines.
Another helpful commenter, Julia Williams, added: ‘It’s £189 on the official website but sold out. EBay are selling it for £360 what a rip off. Would love it though!’
The majority of the Paco Rabanne sequin products have sold out, but there are still some accessories available if you need a sparkling fix.
Amanda’s wardrobe choices, which include cheeky necklines, short skirts, bikinis, and transparent dresses, frequently elicit a drastically different reaction.
She wore a breathtaking semi-sheer minidress with a magnificent cape to the Fashion Awards earlier this month, while her daughter flaunted her abs.
Prior to that, she and co-host Ashley Roberts, 42, wore similar off-the-shoulder seductive reindeer costumes to celebrate Christmas – yeah, really.
Amanda’s appearance frequently raises heads, but she doesn’t mind because the legend chastised individuals who complained about her being absolutely stunning while still being a mother.
‘Women are always described as “parading their legs” if they’re wearing shorts or skirts, and if they’re at the beach they’re “parading” in a bikini,’ she told OK! in a recent interview.
‘No, I’m simply at the beach or I’m simply walking down the street in summer. I’d like to see those headlines change,’ she said.
‘Nobody judges a man like that!’
