One, however, was not such a fan. A Twitter user said: "What the fool is #claudiawinkleman wearing this week #StrictlyComeDancing she's gone down to #millets for a different tent from last week."
However, the consensus seemed to be that the star looked stunning.
Last week Tess Daly's appearance left Strictly fans in turmoil.
Yaking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: “I see Tess is still allergic to The Second Sleeve #strictly,” with another adding: “It's #Strictly time and I see Tess and Claudia's outfits haven't improved."
A third commented: “Have Claudia and Tess dressed for Halloween already?” whilst a fourth remarked: “Tess’ jumpsuit is amazing #strictly.”
