Tess Daly looks effortlessly chic in a blue suit and warm scarf

She has an enviable wardrobe.

And Tess Daly looked effortlessly chic as she left her Blackpool hotel on Saturday ahead of tonight’s Strictly Come Dancing special.

The 53-year-old presenter showed off her impeccable sense of style in a baby blue suit that consisted of a double-breasted jacket and high-waisted trousers.

Under her jacket she wore a plain black T-shirt and added a warm blue scarf to the look as she stepped out in the sun with her sunglasses on.

Tess added to her height with shiny black heeled boots and carried a matching bag while she wore her blonde locks in a straight style and opted for radiant makeup.

Meanwhile, Chief Judge Shirley Ballas also appeared and arrived at Blackpool Tower without make-up.

She casually dressed in a white coat, black leggings and chunky boots as she beamed away.

Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC One screens tonight at 7:45pm with its ninth live show, the programme’s annual iconic journey to Blackpool Tower.

And with just weeks to go until the grand finale, the pressure is on to get their steps right as the post-show phone lines reopen for fans to vote for their favorite routines.

Strictly speaking, the entire fall will be broadcast live every Saturday, with the final typically broadcast on the last Saturday before Christmas.

The spin-off show, It Takes Two, airs weekdays on BBC Two, with Rylan Clark and Janette Manrara as presenters.

Tony Adams made a sensational stop last week, pulling out of the game with an apparent hamstring injury.

The former Arsenal footballer and his professional partner Katya Jones would subsequently miss the show’s iconic journey to Blackpool Tower, with Tyler West and Dianne Buswell automatically taking their place.

It comes a week after Tony got into a “heated argument” with his dance partner Katya during the closing moments of the week seven show.

A BBC source said: “After finding out he would have to face the dance-off, Tony spoke to producers and stated that both he and the physio were concerned that re-dancing the jive in the dance-off would further could cause injuries and he had therefore decided that he would withdraw from the competition instead.”

The BBC declined to explain what the injury was or how it came about, calling it a private, medical matter, although there was speculation he had hurt his hamstring, a common complaint for footballers.
