The Great British Bake Off has returned to our screens yet again to deliver ample wittiness, impressive bakes and stylish outfit choices that we are most certainly keeping an eye on. Alongside personalities Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith and Noel Fielding, Alison Hammond is back to host the latest season of the show after proving herself to be a favourite with fans.
Hammond first brought her infectious energy to the tent back in March 2023, and most recently joined presenters to co-host series 16, which began on Tuesday 2, September. The season will run for ten weeks until the finale, where the winner of The Great British Bake Off 2025 will be announced.
True to form, the latest series is already delivering everything we’ve come to love about Bake Off - plenty of laughs, wholesome moments and a parade of colourful outfits. A particular talking point is always Alison's incredible wardrobe. Dressed to perfection by celebrity fashion stylist Stevie B, her outfits expertly combine affordability with an effortless sense of style.
Across previous seasons, we've seen an explosion of print and colour to match the host's vibrant personality, and this series we're excited to see key trends take centre stage in the Bake Off tent. Brands previously worn by Alison include Dancing Leopard and Scamp & Dude, as well as Karen Millen and Monsoon, all of which we're eager to get our hands on.
