Claudia Winkleman Has Significantly Improved Her Self-Tanning Skills

Claudia Winkleman's love affair with fake tan is well documented. And after a number of self-tan fails, she was determined to get it right at the BAFTAS 2015 - and get it right she did.

The 43-year-old Strictly Come Dancing host looked amazing in her off-shoulder black prom dress, and not an orange smudge to be seen.

Her make up was flawless with a perfect complexion enhanced with red lips, liquid eyeliner and fluttery lashes. Gone was her usual thick black under-eye Kohl.

She looked amazing as she posed for pictures with her husband Kris Thykier. And a big shout out has to go to her incredible red Jimmy Choo satin heels.

And Claudia herself must have been pleased with the look as she tweeted thanks to the shop and designer behind her ensemble.

It was a different story at last year's BAFTAs, when Claude received a bit of flack in the press after turning up on the red carpet in a dress that matched her bright tan, with eye pencil smudged on her face.

Speaking to the Mail Online on Sunday night, she made light of the incident and joked, "I've got a rotten cold, but I've braved it anyway and am determined not to wear my coat because I've done my tan properly this time."

And, at the time, she tweeted a joke about her look, writing online, "On Radio 2 tomorrow - eye liner application tips and I'll play some Alice Cooper #baftas."

A similar incident happened at the GQ Men of the Year awards back in 2013, when the TV presenter arrived looking just like Alice Cooper's double with eyeliner halfway down her face and very tousled hair.

But she certainly got it spot on at this year's BAFTAs, and we're in love with her stunning retro look.
