I don’t know about you, but this freezing winter weather has me mentally packing a suitcase for somewhere sunny. I’m talking trading cashmere knits and puffer jackets for floaty sundresses, crisp linens and sandals that haven’t seen the light of day in months. And honestly? There’s no better way to fuel that wanderlust than binge-watching a TV show set somewhere warm, especially when Amanda Holden’s wardrobe is involved.

Lucky for us, the BBC’s Amanda & Alan are back with Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job, following the huge success of their Spanish and Italian renovation adventures. After absolutely loving the duo’s antics in southern Spain, where they transformed a run-down townhouse into a luxury B&B, we can’t wait to see what chaos (and creativity) unfolds this time around in Greece.
While the jaw-dropping scenery and ambitious renovations are reason enough to tune in, let’s be honest: Amanda Holden’s outfits deserve just as much screen time. I’ve always found myself lusting after her wardrobe, and The Greek Job delivers serious summer dressing inspiration in spades.
If, like me, you’re already plotting your next ‘summer-in-winter’ escape, perhaps to southern Europe, you’ll want to take notes. Amanda effortlessly serves up holiday-ready looks, wearing everything from bold Farm Rio dresses to chic French Connection staples. We’ve tracked down her exact outfits, and where pieces are sold out (because of course they are), we’ve found equally stylish alternatives.

What I love most about her style is how wearable it feels. These are outfits you can move in, dressy without being restrictive. Perfect for sightseeing, long lunches, or wandering sun-drenched streets. And with the Greek backdrop, her subtle nods to crisp whites and Mediterranean blues feel spot-on, blending beautifully with the surroundings.
Amanda truly masters the art of summer dressing and honestly, watching The Greek Job might just convince you to book that sunshine escape a little sooner than planned.

The Yellow Co-ord
Amanda wore a sunshine-yellow Zara co-ord in one episode while visiting the Donkey Sanctuary and honestly, it was love at first sight. Sadly (as with all beautiful things), it’s now sold out. But don’t panic: we’ve found a brilliant high-street alternative that gives the same relaxed, comfy, holiday-ready vibe.

The Blue and White Floral-Shaped Dress
The very first look, and I knew instantly it was Farm Rio. I’m completely obsessed. This is one of the brand’s iconic silhouettes: a floral and broderie anglaise tiered cotton maxi that feels romantic and dreamy. With its floral-shaped bodice, open back and flowing tiered skirt, it’s the kind of dress you save for sunset dinners, gentle sightseeing or strolling through cobbled streets. The blue-and-white palette couldn’t feel more perfect for a Greek escape.

The White Broderie Anglaise Mini Dress
Of course, a Greek trip isn’t complete without a white dress, and Amanda knew exactly which one to wear. The original Nadine Merabi Annie White Dress from one of the episodes is sold out, but there are plenty of equally beautiful alternatives.
