Comedian and Vicar of Dibley star Dawn French has once again dazzled viewers with her fashion choices. This time, she's been spotted in a sequin mini dress for Marks and Spencer's festive advent series.

The 67-year-old looks stunning in the M&S Collection Lyocell Rich Sequin Mini Waisted Dress from the high street favourite, which is available for less than £40. In the 30-second TV advert, the comic star is seen wearing an embellished tiered mini dress as she prepared to wrap Christmas presents.

The dress, priced at £39.50, brings festive spirits for those who want a subtle glam rather than all-out sparkles. It features a flattering waisted silhouette, long sleeves, and a round neckline.

Available in sizes 6-24, it also comes in petite and tall options. It can be styled for an evening event with heels and a glitzy bag, or dressed down with tights and boots.

Although the dress has not yet received many reviews, being a relatively new addition to the retailer, one customer who purchased it has already given it a five-star rating. They commented: "Bought petite as I'm short and it falls just above the knee. Darling little black ruffled dress. I just love it!"

However, mini dresses may not be to everyone's taste, and if that's the case, Dawn's Textured V-Neck Midi Relaxed Dress from the previous advert is available for £45, reported the Mirror.

This dress features a relaxed fit with a flattering V-neckline and a sophisticated half-button placket, falling into a tiered skirt. The gathering at the cuffs adds volume to the long sleeves, creating an on-trend silhouette.

It is lined for comfort and coverage, making it suitable for women of all ages. A little black dress is a wardrobe staple, and they are particularly versatile during Christmas season.

M&S appears to have a range of celebrity-approved partywear options. Last month, Cat Deeley wore a sparkly mini dress from the retailer during her guest appearance on the ITV show Dress the Nation.

Cat's exact outfit, the Sparkly V-Neck Mini Shift Dress, costs £45 and features a regular fit, a plunging neckline, and a sleeveless design. In other fashion news, Joanie Clothing's Nolly Gold Lurex Pussy Bow Mini Dress is a little gold dress with shimmery sparkles and a touch of lovely pussy bow at the round neckline. The dress also comes in pockets, perfect to fit your essentials if you are carrying an evening clutch.

For a more sophisticated look, Roman's Sequin Cowl Neck Maxi Stretch Dress in trendy magenta colour is priced at £80 and comes in black, but the wine red shade is an on-trend choice, perfect for a festive party. Alternatively, you can emulate Dawn French's style with her £39.50 M&S mini dress.
