Seasoned TV presenter AJ Odudu has been announced as co-host of fashion reality show, M&S: Dress The Nation and naturally, we're already excited for the onslaught of brilliant outfits. The six-part series will follow ten budding fashion designers (no prior experience needed) battle it out during a series of style briefs with the winner landing a lucrative design role at M&S and their own bespoke collection available in stores. It's essentially The Great British Bake Off but for fashion, and we have a feeling this will be your next TV binge.
Along with nail-bitingly tense tasks and a star-studded judge panel, the show promises plenty of style inspiration as Odudu will be kitted out exclusively in M&S' latest drops.
It won't be just the fashion-forward presenter influencing us to hit the high street. The 36-year-old is joined by co-host Vernon Key and a roster of well-dressed celebrity judges including Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Vogue Williams, Cat Deeley and Mel B.

AJ's premier blue suit

Proving her style prowess, the co-host attended the show's premiere in central London wearing a Velvet Tailored Single Breasted Blazer, £79 paired with the matching Cotton Rich Velvet Straight Leg Trousers, £45 which makes the perfect statement-meets-comfort party season ensemble.
The host paired the M&S suit with minimal jewellery and barely-there gold strap heels. Customers have already rated the teal suit five stars online and we predict it won't be around for long.

For the show premiere, AJ Odudu made a case for a blue velvet suit which we predict will be a sell-out.

The above tailored blazer would look great on it's own or even better paired with these matching straight-leg trousers.
