The Great British Bake Off always delivers series after series of unforgettable British television, and among personalities Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith and Noel Fielding, Alison Hammond returned to host the latest season of the show after making her Bake Off debut just last year,
Hammond hosted series seven of Celebrity Bake Off: Stand Up 2 Cancer and, most recently, series 15. As always, the latest season provided ample wittiness, dazzling bakes and stylish outfit choices that we were most certainly keeping an eye on.
One particular talking point was the incredible outfits worn by Alison Hammond. Dressed to perfection by celebrity fashion stylist Stevie B, Hammond's outfits expertly combine affordability with an effortless sense of style. In previous seasons, we've seen an explosion of print and colour to match Hammond's vibrant personality, and this season we were excited to see key trends, such as leopard print, take centre stage in the Bake Off tent.
Speaking on her style inspiration during an episode of This Morning, Hammond refreshingly remarked, 'I get a lot of women asking where I get my clothes from. They just constantly want to know where we get anything from. I’m a big girl, so all I want is comfort. I love ASOS Curve, I think they’re brilliant. And I’m always in Yours clothing, I find they’re so comfortable and wearable, and not too expensive.'
Brands worn by Hammond include Dancing Leopard and Scamp & Dude, as well as Karen Millen and Monsoon, all of which we're eager to get our hands on.
