‘For £25 you can’t go wrong’ Stacey Solomon says as she nabs sparkly Primark dress that’s perfect for Christmas parties
IF you’re looking for a dress that will be great for Christmas party season, fear not, we’ve got you covered.
Stacey Solomon, 35, has proudly shimmied in her new sparkly frock and not only is it covered in sequins but it’s super comfy for all night long dancing too.
The mum-of-five, who is married to Joe Swash, 42, and lives with her family in £1.2million Pickle Cottage, which has its own library and 2.5 acres of land, recently took to social media to model her new Primark purchase – and it’ll cost you just £25.
Posting on her Instagram stories to her six million followers, the Loose Women panellist gave her fans a close-up look at the new dress after she went on a shopping trip to Primark.
The Sort Your Life Out host, who recently launched a new kids’ range at Primark, explained: “It was sooo good in there today, I picked up a few bits.”
Whilst Stacey’s Primark range features adorable pieces which look perfect for autumn and winter, including quarter-zip jumpers, fleece jackets, woollen hats and Ugg-dupe slippers, it was the womenswear that left her impressed.
As she posed in the mirror in her new sequin dress, she beamed: “Here comes the haul.
“I thought this was so nice, it was £25 and it’s a t-shirt, comfy, slouchy, fully sequined dress.”
Even Stacey’s young daughter Rose, three, was open-mouthed, as she gushed: “I love your dress.”
Thrilled with the affordable frock, Stacey continued: “I just love the sleeves on it, I thought it was so cool, it’s so sparkly and for £25, I just thought, you can’t go wrong.
“This is an XL, I would normally wear a medium, but I thought if I can get it really baggy, I could get a belt, tuck it in a bit.”
Not only did Stacey get her hands on the beautiful dress, but she also nabbed a stylish tracksuit too, as she shared: “I literally went from one extreme to the other and bought a fully sequined dress and then a tracksuit.
“I’m such a sucker for a tracksuit and I thought this was a really cool one.
“It’s navy, it’s got the stripe down the bottom. It’s also got wide bottoms which I thought was really nice and slouchy.”
Stacey’s Primark deal
Stacey first started collaborating with the high-street retailer six years ago, back in 2018.
She aimed to create “affordable clothes for all sizes.”
Stacey Solomon's career so far
Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career.
The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the ‘Girls’ category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs.
I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I’m A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I’m A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash – who’d won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff.
Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019.
Loose Women (2016 – present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012.
Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants’ living spaces after removing clutter.
Following its success, the company wrote in 2019 that Stacey had signed up for another collection, and it was their “first ever kidswear collaboration.”
Stacey and her husband Joe have become one of the nation’s most loved celebrity couples thanks to their down-to-earth personalities.
As a result of their relatable social media platforms, the pair have bagged a number of lucrative career opportunities, boosting that all-important net worth.
Stacey's latest Primark collection
STACEY Solomon recently unveiled the adorable new kids’ range that she’s created with Primark.
The Loose Women star, 35, shared pictures and a clip of the autumn/winter collection which includes cosy knit jumpers and cute baby suits.
The mum-of-five wrote: “I’m so excited because it’s just so beautiful.
“Every single piece is just so beautiful.
“The fabrics, the shape, the matching for different ages. It’s special.”
Stacey first showed the matching black and a white knit pieces in various different styles, including quarter-zip jumpers.
Next she showed some beige jumpers, fleece jackets and woollen hats – alongside some very glamorous pink glitter wellies.
There were also some cute pink and floral frilly dresses and skirts, and some Ugg-dupe slippers and winter shoes.
Stacey added: “So much thought went into the warmth, function, & comfort.
“We made lots of tracksuits this season because mine LIVE in them & I can never find just plain, nice fitting tracksuits which feel a bit more than a tracksuit if you know what I mean.
“I asked the kids their favourite feel on fabrics too because for them it’s ALL about how it feels…
“I’m so proud. Of every single piece.”
And with Stacey in particular having hosted Loose Women and Sort Your Life Out, it appears that the mum-of-five is a force to be reckoned with.
Early in 2024, it was revealed that the DIY savvy mum, who shot to fame following The X Factor, was making a whopping £3 million a year, averaging out to around £58,000 a week.
As a result, Stacey was able to splash out a massive £1.2million on Pickle Cottage – and Joe didn’t put in a penny.
It was reported that Stacey, who is estimated to be worth around £5 million, solely stumped up the cash for their Tudor-style Essex property, which is set in 2.5 acres and boasts an outdoor swimming pool.
