Tomato red is surely one of the biggest fashion colour trends for autumn/winter 2025. It joins a host of reddish hues that span everything from burgundy to merlot this season, so if you haven't yet considered incorporating red into your autumn capsule wardrobe, let Amanda Holden's latest look inspire you.
The presenter was impossible to miss, wearing the very nearly sold-out Karen Millen textured tweed belted tailored mini dress on Instagram and paired the flattering mini with some matching red heels to create a sophisticated colour-drenched outfit.
When it came to her styling, Amanda opted to accessorise with a selection of dainty gold jewellery that complemented, rather than overwhelmed, the bright colour of her outfit. Layered gold bracelets and bangles, as well as a sleek, gold-toned necklace, were brilliant choices, as was her decision to keep her hair looking tousled and relaxed, helping to dress down the quite formal-feeling mini.

This red mini is a little more fitted than Amanda's, but it emulates her style brilliantly. Despite the short hemline, the dress still feels autumnal thanks to the rib-knit fabric, while the gold-toned metal buttons and patch pockets create a tailored feel.
Amanda's Karen Millen dress might be sold out, but this option from the same brand is still in stock, and not a million miles away from the original design. Made from the same red crepe fabric, this structured style features an A-line skirt, gold buttons and pocket details.
With a fit and flare shape, a structured collar and buttons on the bodice, this Boden dress is a great alternative to Amanda's style. The short sleeves have a delicate puffed detail, while the viscose fabric drapes beautifully for a luxe finish.
