She won full marks for her performance on Strictly Come Dancing over the weekend, but the sequinned gown was left in the wardrobe on Wednesday while Abbey Clancy unveiled her brand new clothing range.


The 27-year-old model was in her native Liverpool to promote a new line of outfits for budget high-street chain Matalan - but came close to showing off more than her clothes in the process.


Having already showed off the festive range in series of promotional shots, Abbey – currently based in London while she takes part in the latest series of Strictly – travelled north to launch those very same outfits with a gathering of models.

The WAG looked stunning in a black sleeveless gown, but the wide slash detail posed problems as she made her way back onto the store after a brief photo-shoot.


Indeed, Abbey kept both hands on her rear in a game attempt to prevent the dress from blowing across her back on a gusty day in the Merseyside city.


Despite the potential wardrobe malfunction, the Liverpudlian looked stunning as she took her place alongside a string of models sporting smart evening attire from her latest range.

Other options include a stunning knee-length peplum-detail dress and shorter bodycon numbers.


Abbey has previously revealed that her range includes everything from 'leather skirts my Mum would love' to 'shorter dresses for the girls.'


Colours in the collection stick to the festive colour palette of blues, purples, reds and blacks, with Abbey positively smouldering in shots published on Tuesday.


While the new range, which goes on sale October 7th, isn't the first venture Abbey has undertaken with Matalan, it is her first clothing range.

She previously modelled a bikini range with the retailer - with the images thought to have contributed to a 30% rise in sales.


Abbey has made a name for herself as something of a fashion icon over the past few years, thanks to her unique sense of style.


In fact, she has become so famous for her fashion sense that she frequently presents fashion segments on ITV show This Morning.


Speaking previously about her celebrity fashion inspirations, Abbey said: 'I am a massive Bridget Bardot fan! I love her. My fashion icons now…I love Blake Lively, and the way she dresses, I just think she is gorgeous, she always looks amazing, dead girlie and sexy.


'And of course Kate Moss always looks amazing. And love Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.'
