There was fringing! and sequins! and a ridiculous amount of flesh! and we have pictures!
WARNING: if you are prone to migraines or are quietly nursing a hangover and covertly browsing the interweb either don a pair of sunglasses, turn down the brightness on your monitor or wait until the headache tablets kick in before examining our gallery.
- Tess Daly and Bruce Forsyth<p> Tess is ecstatic about her jumpsuit. Bruce cannot take in its bright splendour.</p>
- Holly Valance<p> Holly takes the approach that bigger is better with sequins. It's a smart move because they can also double as a handy mirror.</p>
- Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli<p> Alesha wears a Beyonce-adjacent mermaid style dress and Madonna-adjacent hair. She is literally adjacent to fellow judge Bruno Tonioli.</p>
- Harry Judd<p> Question - does Harry always looks like the sun is in his eyes?</p> <p> That aside, he has done up too many of his buttons. Wardrobe should probably tell him that is NOT how Strictly rolls.</p>
- Alex Jones<p> We have absolutely no idea how this dress can possibly be providing the necessary support.</p>
- Jason Donovan<p> This is your sparkly television comeback and <em>that's </em>how you choose to pose? Get it together, man!</p>
- Lulu<p> We have no intention of questioning the eighties-workout-leotard-meets-ostrich vibe but why is it in navy? Why not something neon? WHY?</p>
- Audley Harrison<p> They gave Audley a relatively sensible white shirt - frankly we think he should have kicked off about that and demanded pink feathers. We would have.</p>
- Edwina Currie<p> We're wondering how Edwina is going to be able to dance given her left leg in this picture seems to be made entirely from jelly.</p>
- Dan Lobb<p> Most uncomfortable man ever.</p>
- Nancy Del'Olio<p> See, we assume Nancy just wears stuff like this all the time. This would be something she would hoover the living room in, for example.</p>
- Russell Grant<p> This is slightly too close to Abanazer-from-Christmas-pantomime-Aladdin territory to be truly alluring but perhaps the starburst pattern means something in astrology-speak.</p>
- Anita Dobson<p> Anita, you look lovely!</p>
- Rory Bremner<p> This is not a very good impression of a dancer. Too much waving and not enough dancing.</p>
- Chelsee Healy<p> </p> <div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12pt; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> <p> It's like if Katy Perry's underwear was kidnapped by a team of spider fashion designers with a taste for the fabulous.</p> </div>
- Robbie Savage<p> Robbie Savage is clearly the spiritual successor to David Ginola's L'Oreal crown.</p>
- Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone<p> Gosh.</p>
- Ola Jordan and James Jordan<p> Embodiment of modesty, James Jordan, makes a low key entrance without removing any items of clothing.</p>
- Erin Boag and Anton du Beke<p> Erin and Anton try to out-chest each other.</p>
- Natalie Lowe and Brendan Cole<p> We're kind of scared of Natalie. We think Brendan might be too.</p>
- Aliona Vilani and Artem Chigvintsev<p> See, Harry, this is how you wear a shirt on Strictly.</p>
- Kristina Rihanoff and Robin Windsor<p> Or this.</p>
- Katya Virshilas and Pasha Kovalev<p> Tyra would be so enraged by Pasha's randomly pointing finger that she would have overturned her <em>America's Next Top Model</em> judging desk and and told him off in at least five different theatrical accents by now.</p>
- Craig Revel Horwood and Len Goodman<p> YAY!</p>
