Daring Julien MacDonald gown – 2017
The TV star’s sartorial choices on Britain’s Got Talent are often a talking point among fans of the series.
Amanda’s wardrobe has led to some controversial moments in the past after a daring Julien Macdonald gown she wore during the semi-final of BGT in 2017 attracted a staggering 663 Ofcom complaints.
The plunging floor-length dress was slashed to the navel, with a cut-out panel that reached down to the small of her back – and came under fire when furious viewers deemed it ‘inappropriate’.
But despite the £11,000 ensemble causing hundreds of viewers to complain to Ofcom, the media regulator decided not to investigate.
Ofcom said that while it recognised the dress ‘had potential to offend some viewers during what is a family show’ – the outfit ‘would not have exceeded most viewers’ expectations’.

Sheer ‘spiderweb’ dress – 2019

Taking to Twitter, viewers penned: ‘Amanda it’s a family show as lovely as your dress is it was not appropriate. I was slightly embarrassed’.
‘Need to dress more appropriately for a family show!!! Lovely dress for the right occasion but BGT is not it!!!’, another said.
One user wrote: ‘Beautiful dress hun, but your boob is popping out with camera angles from the side.’
‘An amazing dress but not really for family prime time TV’, another said.
However, some fans were fans of Amanda’s gown, with one user tweeting: ‘Amanda looks like a princess in that dress’, while another wrote: ‘How stunning was @AmandaHolden tonight absolutely beautiful’.
But Amanda appeared to see the funny side of her very revealing dress, as she took to Instagram to share a joke about a water bottle sitting on the judges panel acting as a ‘nipple cover’.

She said: ‘Fashion is about taking risks. I encourage everyone to have a little fun and be a little daring. I’d be bored playing it safe.’

‘Alesha gets away with wearing bikinis, but I don’t seem to. It’s bizarre,’ Amanda said,
‘With shows where there are strong women on a panel, it’s sadly inevitable that they’ll be judged on what they’re wearing.’
