Dust off your dancing shoes, slap on the sequins and tease your hair to the heavens, Dancing with the Stars has officially returned to our screens!
As the celebrity competition heats up, filling our screens with sequins and frills, we're chatting with celebrity stylist Fiona Fagan to find out what hosts Jennifer Zamparelli and Doireann Garrihy will be wearing - and where we can shop the looks.
Tonight, Jen is wearing a "fabulous little cocktail dress" from Rebecca Vallance which Fagan sourced from Brown Thomas in Dublin. According to the stylist, the "sexy" purple number suited the broadcaster down to the ground: "She really feels really 'Jen' in it."
Sticking to one of her favourite styles, Doireann is wearing a stunning short and jacket co-ord. The sequin tiger-print number is from Nadine Merabi's latest collection, a brand that Fagan says is known for doing occasion wear in a "cool and funky" way.
Both hosts accessoriesed with pieces from Ór and K.Hands, while Jen wore Carvela shoes and Doireann wore a pair from Russell & Bromley.

Hitting week five of the show, the celebrity stylist says that dressing two women in outfits that will work for the show, work on camera, and work with the hosts' own unique sense of styles has been an exciting but tough challenge.
"I'm just trying to make it better, make it better for the next week, and the two of them are so different so trying to balance it out, get it right for the show, get it right for the girls - it literally doesn't stop."
"I'm able, I'm able" she adds, laughing. "I really enjoy it, it's just a lot of work. I never switch off from it because I'm constantly thinking of something better."
"Myself and Doireann will be sending messages on WhatsApp all week," she continues, "almost every day we have fashion chats about stuff or brands, or if I see something I'll send it on to her, or if she sees something."
Sitting at the judge's table, Arthur Gourounlian is wearing a high street piece that has been bedazzled by Fagan for that extra bit of pizzazz.
"With Arthur, I tend to have a lot of fun and get to be really creative. He's wearing a Topman suit, but what I do is, I go to this amazing trimmings place on Capel Street, and I buy flowers, some sort of fabulous material or sequin, and I kind of add them all on to his suit to make it 'Arthur'."
Working alongside the fashionable cast of DWTS, and with a storied career in performance and fashion, Fagan says she "always likes to look nice on the Sunday", so that she can feel good working behind the scenes.
For tonight's show, she wore an oversized suit from Cos, paired with a maroon top and matching runners: "I think with a pair of heels and a bralette, it would look fabulous, too."
