Every Sunday, we sit down with Stylist Fiona Fagan to find out what Dancing with the Stars hosts Jennifer Zamparelli and Nicky Byrne are wearing on the dancefloor and, more importantly, where we can get the looks for ourselves.
Styled by Fiona Fagan, Jennifer Zamparelli celebrated Orchestra Week by wearing a romantic, full-length dress from Needle & Thread.
Designed with ruffled layers of tulle and intricate frill tiers, this show-stopping gown creates a beautiful silhouette. You can find the Wild Rose Ruffle Gown in the shade 'Sun Blush' here for €575.
"It's Orchestra night so I wanted her in something really special," says Fiona, speaking to RTÉ LifeStyle backstage on Sunday night. "She's wearing Needle & Thread, a stunning dress that they sent over for us."
Founded in 2013 by CEO and Creative Director Hannah Coffin, the brand is best known for its ultra-feminine gowns but are also working towards environmental accountability.
According to Fiona, Hannah Coffin - who is a friend of the stylist - got in touch directly to loan the dress to Jen so as to help the co-host keep her sustainable fashion goals for 2020.
"It's actually a friend of mine who started off the brand, Hannah Coffin. She started off on her own - a strong woman - and now it's an international brand; Kate Middleton was wearing it, Sarah Jessica Parker, Helena Christensen."
"That's what we're trying to do with the whole show now, this is where it's kind of going," Fiona continued, speaking about the sustainability aspect of getting outfits on loan. "It's brilliant. People want to be on board."

To complete the look, Jen wore a pair of Zara heels and jewellery from APM Monaco including a variety of bracelets and a pair of Asymmetric Sun Pendants Earrings in yellow silver which you can find here for €209.
Elsewhere on the dancefloor, co-host Nicky Byrne wore a black Benetti suit with a dinner shirt from Zara and a smart bow tie from Tom Ford.
