Dianne Buswell looked incredible as she stepped out in metallic Spanx, flared jeans and a silver chain belt.
The dancing professional’s look was integral to her number for Crazy.
Amy Dowden perfected the ultimate Britney look for the evening as she appeared in a school uniform.

While Alexis Warr’s black corset look is a tribute to her similar look in If You Seek Amy.
