Dahlia is joined by stylist, author and Fashion Director Nicky Hambleton-Jones to discuss clothes, confidence and visibility.

Nicky shares her view on why we use clothes to hide or stand out and how to encourage people to create a positive internal narrative to help build their confidence. She describes clothes as giving us the opportunity to have an 'instant fix' helping us to flip our mindset and influence how we feel.

Nicky reflects on how she has built her confidence and shares the feelings of imposter syndrome on her first job in television as the presenter of '10 years younger' in 2004. She talks about how she felt going on camera and exposing herself to critique and commentary whilst also needing to take control and have a voice of authority as the host of the show.

Dahlia and Nicky discuss the joy of wearing colour and Nicky shares her views on styling for the Christmas season, encouraging people to give themselves permission to get comfortable standing out from the crowd.

Nicky Hambleton-Jones is a celebrated personal stylist, TV presenter, author, and trailblazer in the world of fashion and beauty. Best known as the charismatic host of Channel 4’s iconic makeover show 10 Years Younger, and more recently as the presenter and stylist behind Drop-A-Decade on This Morning, Nicky has become a trusted voice for women seeking confidence, style, and authenticity at every stage of life.

Instantly recognisable for her signature red lipstick and chic glasses, Nicky combines sharp style with a warm, relatable approach that has made her a household name.

A prolific author, she has written five empowering books, including 10 Years

Younger, The 10 Years Younger Nutrition Bible, Top-To-Toe, and How to Be Gorgeous. Her latest release, Bolder Not Older (March 2025), is a bold manifesto for ageless style and self-belief, redefining what it means to grow older with confidence.

In May 2025, Nicky was appointed Fashion Director at Platinum Magazine UK, where she hopes to bring her vibrant energy and inclusive style philosophy to the fashion pages. With a vision to inject fresh inspiration, real-world wearability, and her trademark splash of colour.

At the heart of everything Nicky does is a powerful mission: to help women to embrace their individuality, step into their confidence, and live their boldest, most beautiful lives

1.Mirror Tip: Practice a Neutral Focus

Next time you look in the mirror, resist the urge to zoom in on what you don’t like. Instead, pick one neutral thing to focus on — maybe the colour of your eyes, the curve of your shoulders, or the way light catches your hair.

Spend 30 seconds simply noticing it without judgment. The goal isn’t to love everything you see, but to break the habit of criticism and start seeing yourself with calm eyes rather than critical ones.

2. Notice the Language You Use About Yourself

Pay attention to the words and tone you use when you talk to or about yourself today.

When you catch a harsh or critical thought - ‘I look awful’, ‘I hate my legs…, pause and ask, ‘Would I speak to a friend like that’?

Then try to reframe it into something kinder and more realistic, such as:

‘My legs help me move through the day’.

‘My body is doing its best to support me’.

‘I don’t have to love everything I see to treat myself with respect’.

You’re not aiming for instant body love, just gentler, fairer language. Over time, that small shift can change how you feel in your own skin.

3. Daily Kindness Question

Each morning, ask yourself: ‘What’s one small act of care I can give my body today?’

It could be something simple like taking five deep breaths, choosing a nourishing meal, stepping outside for fresh air, or going to bed 20 minutes earlier.

Write your answer somewhere you’ll see it (your phone, planner, or mirror) and commit to doing it beforethe day ends.

These small, consistent acts of kindness are what rebuild trust with your body over time.
