Stacey Solomon wears her 2022 wedding dress to the Bafta TV awards
'Wearing it once feels like a travesty.'
Stacey Solomon made a bold move as she decided to wear her wedding dress to the Bafta TV awards on Sunday afternoon.
The Bafta TV awards kicked off with a band on Sunday afternoon as celebrities began arriving in London at the Royal Festival Hall.
Before arriving at the event, the star announced to her social media followers that she was reworking her wedding gown from 2022, rather than buying something new for the awards ceremony.
‘Today I’m wearing my wedding dress,’ she revealed on her Instagram story.
‘It makes me so sad that this is my favourite, most special dress I’ve ever bought, and I’ve only ever worn it once.
‘So I asked my stylist Faye (who has been my friend and stylist since the X Factor) and her incredible seamstress Izzy to rework my dress so that I can wear it again.’
She shared images of a seamstress working on the dress, then an image of herself from her wedding day three years ago.

The off-the-shoulder sleeves were removed, and layers of the skirt were removed to create a more sultry look.
The dress was originally much longer with a long train that swept away from her body and fanned out. The reshaped style gave the look a slit so just shorts and a sheer layer remained on the bottom half.
Speaking about her look she wrote on social media : ‘off to the BAFTAs ✨ I’m so excited & so grateful to have been nominated for TWO @bafta this year. What in the heck is life ???? Thank you BAFTA for this honour. And thank you to my @sortyourlifeout family & @bbciplayer for giving me the chance to present the most special show, it’s the best job in the world & I love every second of it.
‘I decided to have my wedding dress reworked for today because wearing it once feels like a travesty to me. I wanted to get her out of the box & take her out on another special day.
‘Thank you @fayesawyerstylist & Issy for transforming my wedding dress into something so special & beautiful. I love you girls. Thank you penny for making me feel so beautiful as always. ???? HERE WE GO! Fingers crossed ????????????’
The couple shared shots from their home before the event (Picture: staceysolomon/Instagram) The couple has been together for over a decade (Picture: Dave Benett/Getty Images)Stacey and Joe were married on July 24 2022. The loved-up pair were married in the grounds of their Essex home, affectionately dubbed Pickle Cottage, after seven years together, surrounded by friends and family.
Announcing their nuptials, Stacey wrote on social media: ‘????Forever ???? Me and My Husband ???? I don’t think I will ever get used to saying that. It all feels like a dream.’
She then quoted Dr. Suess: ‘You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.’
The couple has six children together, Stacey’s two children Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 12, plus Joe’s son from a previous relationship, Harry, 17.
The couple also has three younger children together: Rex, five, Rose, three, and two-year-old Belle.
The couple’s busy life with their large brood has been documented in a recent TV series titled Stacey & Joe. However, the couple is actually attending the Bafta award show for Stacey’s other series – Stacey Solomon Sort Your Life Out -which has been nominated for best Entertainment performance and factual entertainment.
