Shoppers have also been obsessing over Marks & Spencer’s Satin V-Neck Midaxi Slip Dress, £49.50 here, which is described as “ideal for sophisticated occasions” and “crafted from glossy satin”.

Frankie, 33, included the dress in the latest edition of her Frankie’s Faves series, which sees her share snaps of her latest fashion finds on Instagram.

“You just can’t go wrong with a good slip dress!” the mum-of-two penned. “This one skims the body really nicely – I sometimes find slip dresses a bit clingy but not this one! Also love the extra detail to the back.”
