Nigella Lawson was such a devotee that she once hit the headlines when she bought 12 dresses in the same design, but that has not been enough to save Bombshell London, which has gone bust after 17 years. I can disclose that the 1950s-inspired brand, beloved by other famous women including Anjelica Huston, Jerry Hall, Ruth Jones, Deborah Meaden, Angela Rippon and former Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, has gone into liquidation after suffering financial difficulties.
Its owner and designer Katya Wildman says she's been left 'heartbroken'.
Bombshell specialised in glamorous retro hand-made special occasion dresses designed to flatter women with curves and traded both online and in person, having its own London showroom and factory.
However, the decline in demand for 'dressed up' clothes since the Covid lockdowns is thought to have contributed to the independent company's demise. Dresses cost on average of £250 each.

'It's heartbreaking to tell you that my journey with Bombshell Ltd has come to an end,' confirms Katya, a former television costume designer. 'It's been the greatest honour and privilege to dress so many women for the most important moments in their lives, and together, as a community, we created Bombshell magic. 'I want to take this opportunity to say a big thank-you to our loyal Bombshell customers for your incredible support over the years - you made my dreams come true and I hope that your dresses continue to make you feel amazing every time you wear them.' An official message from the company says: 'We regret to inform you that as a result of recent financial difficulties,
