In a black velvet cut-out dress from Self Portrait, Heidi Skelton walked on the red carpet at the Pride of Britain Awards, which is currently 50% off and still available in all sizes.
A host of celebrities have been appearing on the red carpet recently for the Pride of Britain Awards in London, including Helen Skelton, who effortlessly delivered classic glamour in a black velvet maxi dress. Self Portrait’s Strapless Cutout Velvet Peplum Maxi Dress, which retails for around £480, was the dress Helen wore.
Although this is still reasonably priced for a red carpet-ready gown, it’s quite the splurge for most of us to spend on a dress. However if you’re coveting her dress for a black tie event or an upcoming Christmas party then you’re in luck, because it’s now got 50% off, slashing it to £240.

The Self Portrait dress is the ideal option if a formal event is already in store for you. It can also be worn for anything, including a black tie wedding and a Christmas party. It has some skin-bared details that are still elegant and classy thanks to the luxurious material and the black velvet material.
Its fitted bodice aids in shaping your body, and the peplum detail around the waist adds drama and fun. A column skirt balances out the exaggerated ruffle around the waist in the strapless cutout velvet peplum max dress, giving it a slimming and comfortable appearance.
Helen’s dress is a perfect illustration of how to add a contemporary twist to a classic Hollywood-style glamour, and she kept the rest of her outfit simple so that the dress could shine. Helen also wore what appears to be the Daniel Inrouche Suede Ruched Clutch Bag, which you can’t see where she went with, as well as a statement glittering necklace.
The exact bag retails for £149, and Helen prefers to purchase it in chocolate brown or black leather. There are also some slightly more affordable options to shop if you want to copy Helen’s style on a smaller budget.
The Sarifa Black Velvet Strapless Corset Midi Dress with Ruffle Peplum, priced at £150, features a fitted bodice, sweetheart neckline, and peplum ruffles around the waist, and is comparable to Helen’s Self Portrait dress from Club L. The Club L dress has a midi length, which makes it a little more wearable for events off the red carpet, as opposed to a floor-length hemline.
The ASOS DESIGN Embroidered Bust Cut Out Velvet Maxi Dress, which costs $95, has a slightly more streamlined silhouette that still retains Helen’s style. Although there is no peplum ruffle, the bust has fringe corsage details and cut out details that run the length of the silhouette.
