It's no secret that Sarah, the Duchess of York has a stellar sense of style; whether she's on mother-of-the-bride duty, or out shopping with her daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, we're always impressed with her sartorial looks. But we have to say, it's her red carpet dresses that really stand out from the crowd. The former wife of Prince Andrew doesn't play it safe with her style - she doesn't choose long black evening gowns or simple designs for every occasion, she likes colour, she likes bling, she likes lace and she's partial to a va-va-voom sexy number from time to time. Ready to check out Fergie's fanciest frocks?

It'll be all white on the night

When Sarah wore this exquisite white evening gown to a Dubai gala in December 2017, we oohed and aahed over the gold embellishment.

OOH! You've got to see Sarah's sheer black dress with fitted bodice

Lady in red

Sarah Ferguson loves a red dress - it matches her hair (and the red carpet!) perfectly, we have to say. For the 'Filming Italy Sardegna Festival' gala dinner at Forte Village Resort in Italy, Sarah opted for this red gown by Tiziana Rocca which she teamed with a statement clutch bag and diamond drop earrings.
