Supermarket chic! Abbey Clancy models 'dreamy' F&F party range that works for 'every wardrobe'

Abbey Clancy may be the last person you’d expect to see picking up a partywear outfit on her weekly Tesco shop, but the model is proud to be sharing her sense of style with regulars in the supermarket clothes aisles. In fact, as a brand ambassador, she’s just launched her fifth F&F collection, which aims to make high-end, party-perfect wardrobe essentials affordable for all.

Taking to the streets of Paris to model the edit, Abbey, 38, proves she’s still got star power nearly two decades on from her Britain’s Next Top Model debut as she exudes chic Parisian glamour.

Here, we catch up with Abbey, who is married to ex-footballer Peter Crouch, to find out what her must-haves are from the edit, what her go-to outfit combination is and what she thinks of the city of love.

Hi Abbey. What a lovely collection!

Thanks. We really focused on pieces that are versatile – for all party moments – and added a twist with our latest designs. We’ve made the colour palette timeless and complementary, to make sure everyone feels confident wearing it.

What’s your go-to outfit from the edit?

Everything fits into my wardrobe and I love how I can pare things back or go full party mode. But one of the standout pieces for me is the gold minidress, as it’s so flattering and fun.

What would you wear it with?

I’d pair it with the faux fur coat. It’s so soft and fully lined – the perfect layering piece to elevate any outfit and add a glam finishing touch.

What type of outfit makes you feel your most confident? Is there any look you tend to repeat?

I love a blazer and trouser suit – it’s the ultimate power look for me. I’ll be styling the black tux from the collection all season. The blazer is a longer line and feels like a tailored fit, and with the satin details it looks so premium but also so versatile that I can style it separately for a laid-back look with jeans.

The shoot is very Parisian – do you have any good memories from the city of love?

I love Paris – there is always something new going on and the fashion is amazing. I actually had one of my best friend’s hen do in Paris a few months back. One of the locations we shot at was right by the apartment. It brought back so many fun memories.

Let’s talk party make-up – how do you prep?

My skincare routine has changed so much as I get older. When you’re young, your skin is naturally great and as we age we need to take a little more care, especially before a night out or special event. I use a combination of products and supplements and see my facialist maybe once a month. I take collagen, Lumity and Symprove daily skin products.

With party season and Christmas coming up, how do you navigate work, family life and a busier social season?
I’m used to it now. I’m always so grateful to be busy, between work, family and creating festive memories with the kids. It is a lot
to juggle but we make it work. I’m so thankful to have such an amazing, supportive family.

What’s Christmas like at your house?
It’s my favourite time of year. Our home is the hub for our family. We start early every year. We put up decorations in November and that’s it for the new two months. It always feels so magical that we have four kids to celebrate with – we love making memories.

Abbey’s F&F Edit is available to shop at larger F&F Tesco stores now with the full range stocked in sizes 6-22 and prices starting from £14.
