Where is Holly Willoughby’s outfit from and where can I buy it?
Holly Willoughby’s outfit today is a chic white midi dress from one of her favourite high street brands: LK Bennett.
The dress has on-trend puff sleeves, a frilled high-neck collar and an A-line skirt and, while it’s currently unavailable to buy online, we’ve done some serious investigative work to find similar styles that you can snap up right now.
Nobody’s Child white Bridgette broderie midi dress: £59, Nobodyschild.com
A frock that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, this style is sure to be one of the most hardworking pieces in your wardrobe this summer. With an ample bodice and short puff sleeves, it has a flattering ruched waistline for a balance of comfort and style. It’s also crafted from soft cotton and features a timeless broderie design. We love the eye-catching open back for a stylish finish.
Oasis lace button detail midi dress: Was £189, now £151.20, Oasisfashion.com
If you love Holly’s dress but find a V-shaped neckline more flattering, consider this option from Oasis, which is currently in the sale with 20 per cent off. Strikingly similar to the This Morning presenter’s version, this dress also has an all-over lace design and is finished with delicate puff sleeves and a row of gold buttons.
Warehouse swing dress in lace: Was £79, now £51.30, Warehousefashion.com
Are mini dresses more your style? Then we think you’ll love this version from high street favourite Warehouse, which is made from lace. Just like Holly’s dress, it has a contrasting trim on the neckline, which is also extended to the waistbands and arms, and the skater-style skirt is sure to be a flattering silhouette on most body shapes.
Hush Nellie broderie maxi dress: £89, Hush-uk.com
Another midi style, this dress from British fashion brand Hush is the ultimate in summer styling. With a combination of broderie, ruffled tiers and a trendy squared neckline, it’s a classic piece that we think you could wear for many years to come. It’s made from lightweight cotton and has a relaxed fit through the body.
Lipsy lace square neck puff sleeve dress: £80, Next.co.uk
If you’re looking for a dress to wear to more formal summer soirées, this could be the one. Designed by Lipsy, it has a bodycon fit with a pencil skirt and square neck bodice that’s complimented by puffed sleeves and an all-over chunky lace motif. We also love the tie detailing at the back.
Does Holly Willoughby wear her own clothes on This Morning?
Holly Willoughby has a stylist for This Morning who works with her to compile her wardrobe, rather than wearing her own clothes.
Speaking to Red in 2020, she revealed that putting together an outfit “hasn’t always come naturally” – “for a long time, I was pretty clueless,” she admitted – and while her Instagram feed when she’s not working says otherwise, featuring an array of equally stylish ensembles in our books, this is likely why she looks to the expertise on the professionals on screen.
Who is Holly Willoughby’s stylist?
Danielle Whiteman became Holly Willoughby’s regular This Morning stylist towards the end of 2020, replacing Angie Smith – Danielle is a previous assistant of Angie’s, who is now based in Sydney and expecting her first child.
Angie is often credited with having engineered Holly’s transformation to national fashion icon in recent years: “Holly was open to new ideas,” she explained during an interview with YOU magazine. “The main thing I wanted to do was get her into more colour – so we tried everything on and went from there. I remember her saying, “I’ve had my kids. I just need to change it up.”
How does Holly Willoughby do her hair?
Holly Willoughby’s hair stylist is Ciler Peksah, who works with her for This Morning and Dancing on Ice, and seems to have well and truly mastered the ultimate wavy blonde bob. Previous products Ciler has said she’s used on the presenter’s hair for that signature swish include Batiste dry shampoo, T3 curling tongs and Aveda’s damage remedy daily hair repair (£26, Lookfantastic).
Holly is also a Garnier Nutrisse ambassador, and during lockdown shared a clip of herself dying her own hair using the “natural baby blonde” shade from the range, if you want to achieve the same look.
Where is Holly Willoughby from?
Holly Willoughby is originally from Brighton, East Sussex, and attended Burgess Hill Girls school. She now lives in south west London with her husband Dan Baldwin and their three children, Belle, Harry and Chester.
