Today sees the biggest event in the horse racing calendar – the Grand National – take place at Aintree racecourse, with racegoers from all over the country attending, including actress Helen Flanagan. The former I’m A Celeb star arrived wearing a very glamorous pink gown – we’ve found the exact one, and it’s from one of our favourite high street shops.
In pictures obtained the Liverpool Echo, 34 year old looked stunning in a long pink dress with an assymetric hem, a red side panel and a dramatic cape feature over one arm, and we’ve found out that it’s the Soft Tailored Colour Block Cape Detail Full Skirted Maxi Dress from high street hero Karen Millen. Usually priced at £289, it’s now reduced by 30% down to £202.30 – and it’s still available in all sizes.
What’s more, customers can currently get an extra 15% off everything when they use the code EXTRA15 at the checkout, taking this dress down to £171.95.

Also featuring an asymmetric neckline, high-low hem and tailored fit, this stunning maxi dress is the perfect attire for the races, and also makes a great dress choice for weddings, graduations and other formal events. And if pink’s not your colour, you can also buy it in this bold cobalt blue colour, also reduced in price and fully stocked.
The former Coronation Street actor, who attended the popular sporting event with boyfriend Robbie, paired this statement dress with a red fascinator, which we’re pretty sure is also from Karen Millen: the Asymmetric Disk Fascinator With Feather Detail, now reduced from £99 to £69.30 (and don’t forget the EXTRA15 code for an extra 15% off). Helen kept the rest of her accessories simple with red strappy heels and a beaded clutch bag.

If you’re looking for other occasionwear options on the high street, Coast is a great place to shop; we love this pretty pink midi dress, which we think looks a lot like designer brand Self Portrait – but for £119 (or £95.20 with the code EXTRA20).
We also love ASOS DESIGN for affordable dresses for any occasion; this £75 pale green maxi dress has a frill neckline similar to Helen’s dress, while this simple £30 navy silk halterneck gown is a gorgeous choice for evening or blank tie events.
