From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield are once again dishing up the latest news and covering hot topics from the This Morning sofa.
But that’s not all viewers are tuning in for. For many, Willoughby is a source of fashion inspiration, as her outfits always impress, and her latest autumn looks are continuing to deliver effortless elegance.
Willoughby is a style icon after our own hearts, too – opting for affordable high-street favourites, including LK Bennett, Oasis, Karen Millen, La Redoute and Nobody’s Child, to name just a few.
Last week alone, she wore a frilled silk blouse from & Other Stories with a pair of trousers from one of our favourite French brands, Sézane, and our new go-to tweed mini skirt from Sandro.
As for today, the presenter has opted for a retro, long-sleeved mini dress hailing from A-lister favourite Rixo. Perfect for the festive season, here’s where to shop the velvet look.

Where is Holly Willoughby’s outfit from and where can I buy it?
For Tuesday’s show, Willoughby wore a £265 poppy-printed, long-sleeved mini dress from Rixo.

Finished in a poppy-patterened velvet with a burnout texture, this vintage-inspired mini dress is elevated by the tie-front body and flattering A-line skirt hem. Ideal for the festive season, the rich red, black and green hues are just what your winter wardrobe needs.
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 magazine in 2020, she revealed that putting together an outfit “hasn’t always come naturally”. She added: “For a long time, I was pretty clueless.” However, her Instagram feed when she’s not working says otherwise, featuring an array of equally stylish ensembles, in our opinion.
Who is Holly Willoughby’s stylist?
Danielle Whiteman became Holly Willoughby’s regular This Morning stylist towards the end of 2020, replacing Angie Smith – Whiteman was previously an assistant to Smith, who is now based in Sydney.
Smith is often credited with having engineered Holly Willoughby’s transformation to a 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 Peksah has said she’s used on the presenter’s hair include Batiste dry shampoo, T3 curling tongs and Aveda’s damage remedy daily hair repair (£23.20, Lookfantastic.com).
Willoughby is also a Garnier Nutrisse ambassador and shared a clip of herself dying her own hair, using the Natural Baby Blonde shade from the range, during lockdown, if you want to achieve the same shade.
Where is Holly Willoughby from?
Holly Willoughby is originally from Brighton, East Sussex, and attended Burgess Hill Girls school. She now lives in southwest London with her husband Dan Baldwin and their three children, Belle, Harry and Chester.
