Dianne Buswell has captured the spotlight yet again, just weeks after winning the 2024 season of Strictly Come Dancing. The professional dancer, who partnered with comedian Chris McCausland for the show's 20th-anniversary season, has announced her exciting collaboration with fashion brand in The Style, marking her first venture in fashion design.
On Thursday, January 30, 2025, Dianne took to Instagram, where she eagerly shared a sneak peek of her new fashion collection. The line features trendy activewear, including skintight leggings, oversized hoodies, and joggers, all available for sizes 6-28. "So excited to finally reveal my first collaboration with @inthestyle! Launching this Sunday at 6pm! We're also giving you the chance to WIN THE FULL COLLECTION!!" she wrote, her enthusiasm palpable.
Fans were quick to react, flooding her post with excitement. One commented, "This is so exciting!! looks amazing, can’t wait to see the full collection," reflecting the sentiments of many who eagerly await the launch. Dianne also highlighted her love for the collection, stating, "I absolutely love this collection from the colours, the material, the fit, everything is so lovely!"
The announcement of her fashion range isn't the only project keeping the dancer busy. Dianne has recently teamed up with her glitterball partner, Chris McCausland, to host their own podcast cleverly titled 'Winning Isn't Everything.' Launched last week, the podcast promises listeners more banter and entertaining content reminiscent of their time on Strictly. "Want more of this nonsense? Chris and Dianne are going to be hooking up for a weekly publicly available catch-up, otherwise known as a PODCAST," they teased.
Fans have responded with great enthusiasm, and it seems to be charting well on various podcast platforms. Their amusing chemistry shines through as they reminisce about their experiences on the show, including the challenges they faced and the triumphs they celebrated, particularly lifting the coveted Glitterball trophy just over a month ago. Their win was historic; Chris made headlines as the first-ever blind contestant to triumph on the show.
Chris has humorously commented on the little rivalry he sensed from Dianne's boyfriend, Joe Sugg, during their victory. He noted, "At the final, when he came over to say congratulations, I did sense a little bit of envy. I know he wanted you to do well, and he wanted you to win... but really, as well, I think there was a little part of him that couldn’t get over the fact a blind man had donebetter than him." Dianne, laughing, acknowledged the light-hearted banter, pointing out Joe's extensive social media following compared to Chris's.
Dianne's success continues to inspire her fans and co-stars alike. Fellow dancers and friends have shown overwhelming support, with statements like, "Go girl! Seen the range myself and it's unreal," from Amy Dowden, and encouragement from Vito Coppola who wished her 'super good luck' with the new project. Gorka Marquez, another of Dianne's Strictly co-stars, chimed in with enthusiasm: "Let's go Buswell!"
Looking back at their win, Dianne shared the emotional moment when they received the Glitterball trophy, stating, "We were left in tears as we were crowned champions of the BBC One dance contest." They beat formidable competition, including actress Sarah Hadland and her dance partner Vito, Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, and singer JB Gill—and they did so by showcasing incredible talent and hard work throughout the rigorous competition.
With her new fashion line launching soon and the momentum of her podcast gaining traction, Dianne Buswell has proven her versatility beyond the dance floor. Her collection reflects not just her aesthetic but also her active lifestyle as she continuously strives to inspire her followers by merging fashion with practicality.
Her collaboration with in The Style promises to resonate well with fans, offering them fashionable pieces suitable for both workouts and casual outings. Dianne expressed her commitment to authenticity: "I have really enjoyed the opportunity to curate a collection with in The Style centered around my working week and day-to-day life. It’s the perfect blend of practical and stylish!"
Fans will be eagerly awaiting the drop on Sunday at 6pm, driven not only by Dianne's magnetic personality but also by the chance to score pieces from her exclusive line. With this new chapter, Dianne Buswell continues to dance her way effortlessly from the ballroom to the worlds of fashion and media, charming her audience at every turn.
