Stacey Solomon puts on dazzling display as she transforms her wedding dress into sparkling semi-sheer playsuit for 2025 BAFTA TV Awards

She’s nominated for two awards at tonight’s ceremony. 

And Stacey Solomon ensured the night would be a special one, as she chose to wear her wedding dress to the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday.

The TV presenter, 35, took to her Instagram ahead of the ceremony to share a slew of snaps in her dazzling outfit, which she revealed had been made from her bridal gown from her wedding to Joe Swash in July 2022.

She showcased her tiny waist and toned legs in reworked dress, which had been altered into a fashion-forward playsuit, as she insisted wearing her wedding look only once ‘feels like a travesty’.

Keeping the corsetted bodice from the original dress, Stacey removed the off-the-shoulder sleeves and added dramatic pointed detailing to the neckline.

While her skirt was changed into shorts, with a thigh-high slit cut into the sparkling skirt overlay, allowing a glimpse at her long legs underneath.

In the caption, Stacey voiced her graтιтude to be up for two gongs at the awards, after being nominated for the Entertainment Performance prize for Sort Your Life Out, with the show also getting a nod for Best Factual Entertainment.

She penned: ‘off to the BAFTAs ✨ I’m so excited & so grateful to have been nominated for TWO @bafta this year. What in the heck is life.

‘Thank you BAFTA for this honour. And thank you to my @sortyourlifeout family & @bbciplayer for giving me the chance to present the most special show, it’s the best job in the world & I love every second of it.’

Revealing the sweet origin of her outfit, Stacey also explained why she decided to re-wear her special dress from her wedding day.

She wrote: ‘I decided to have my wedding dress re worked for today because wearing it once feels like a travesty to me. I wanted to get her out of the box & take her out on another special day.

‘Thank you @fayesawyerstylist & Issy for transforming my wedding dress into something so special & beautiful. I love you girls. Thank you penny for making me feel so beautiful as always. HERE WE GO! Fingers crossed’.

On Sunday morning, she admitted she was hoping for a ‘miracle’ at the ceremony, where she will be up against stiff compeтιтion from Claudia Winkleman, Graham Norton, Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett and Joe Lycett.

Sharing a picture of a giant daisy, the TV star wrote: ‘Good morning from a giant daisy. Very proud to say I’ve been nominated for 2 BAFTAs this year. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be writing that. 

‘So I’ve tended to all the animals Leanne my friend from @hpefieldanimalsanctuary is going to come and look after Teddy and the gang today and me and Joe are off to see if by any miracle I win a BAFTA.’

Teasing her look for the evening, she also shared a  short clip of her seamstress altering her dress, admitting: ‘Today I’m wearing my wedding dress. It makes me so sad that this is my favourite dress I ever bought and I’ve only ever worn it once. 

‘So I asked my stylish Faye (who has been my friend and stylish since the X Factor) and her incredible seamstress Izzy to rework my dress so I can wear it again’.

The star-studded evening will see a slew of celebrities take home awards celebrating excellence in TV, as well as a line-up of standout performances.

Global music stars Jessie J and Tom Grennan are both set to put on a show at the ceremony, with powerhouse Jessie singing The Award Goes To as her first TV performance in six years.

Meanwhile, multi-platinum popstar Tom will play his brand new track Full Attention, in a TV exclusive.

Meanwhile, Tom added: ‘It’s a real honour to have been invited by such a prestigious event as BAFTA to perform in front of so many esteemed actors and creatives.’

‘The power of television to drive national conversation, to tap into the stories of public interest, and to inspire societal change, is second to none. And to do this through every genre is even more impressive.
