BBC viewers have been treated to a double dose of style and sunshine with the launch of 'Amanda & Alan's Greek Job'. The new series, which landed on iPlayer earlier this month, sees the dynamic duo, Amanda Holden, 54, and Alan Carr, 49, take on a renovation project on the idyllic Ionian island of Corfu.
While the show promises 'tearing down walls by day and smashing plates by night', fashion fans have been equally captivated by Amanda's impeccable holiday wardrobe. From chic beach cover-ups to stunning evening dresses, her looks provide the perfect inspiration for summer getaways.
Exact Matches: Invest In Amanda's On-Screen Style
For those wanting to copy Amanda's style exactly, several of her key pieces are still available to purchase. During a visit to Acharavi beach, she turned heads in a sophisticated white bikini from Naia Beach.
The Phoebe Bikini Top in White (£85) and matching Phoebe Bikini Briefs (£65) offer a timeless look, though stock is now limited in certain sizes.
Another standout piece was the elegant Helena Floral Dress from Nadine Merabi. Priced at £375, this investment piece features a classic silhouette that transcends seasons. Sizes XS and L are reportedly still in stock for those ready to splurge.
Affordable Alternatives: High Street Dupes That Deliver
Fortunately, you don't need a TV presenter's budget to achieve the same holiday glamour. We've scoured the high street for stunning alternatives to Amanda's sold-out or premium outfits.
Her beautiful white beach cover-up, the Maya Beach Dress by Leyla Maya (£165), can be echoed with several more affordable options:
- Abercrombie & Fitch's Long-Sleeve Crochet-Style Mini Dress in cream offers a similar boho feel at a lower price point and with more modest coverage.
- Pour Moi's white crochet lace long sleeve cover-up is a steal at just £45 on Next's website.
- For the closest match, Accessorize's Knitted Long Sleeve Cover Up in white captures the essence of Amanda's look perfectly.
Accessories & Co-ords: Completing The Holiday Look
Amanda's glamour extended to her accessories, notably a luxurious diamond necklace from Fope. For budget-friendly sparkle, consider:
- Miss Cecelia's The Solitaire Necklace (£35)
- Astrid & Miyu's Essential Crystal Pendant Necklace (£75)
- Monica Vinader's Solitaire Diamond Medium Chain Necklace (under £200)
Her cute, sold-out Laura Ashley short co-ord set can be replaced with a Missguided Boho two-piece set for just £10.07. For a linen alternative, Boden's Sienna Linen Shirt (£64) and matching shorts (£56) offer mix-and-match potential.
Finally, Amanda's stunning sold-out Annie White Dress from Nadine Merabi finds its match in M&S's Linen Rich Puff Sleeve Mini Shift Dress for £46 or the Nobody's Child Mini Blakeney Bridal Dress, now reduced to £72.
With all eight episodes of 'Amanda & Alan's Greek Job' available to stream, there's plenty of style inspiration to be found. By combining a few investment pieces with clever high-street finds, you can pack a holiday wardrobe worthy of a BBC travel show without the celebrity price tag.
