Dynamic duo Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby are TV royalty, both for their stints presenting This Morning and Dancing on Ice. While audiences love tuning in to the former for the latest news and gossip from the sofa each day, Holly’s outfits have become just as much of a draw for fashion fans.

Whether you enjoy Holly’s Instagram outfit hashtag #hwstyle, or regularly watch the show to make style notes, her comfortable niche between high-street and high-end brands continuously delivers effortless elegance.

For Thursday’s show, Holly and her stylist Dannii Whiteman have opted for a perfectly preppy tweed pinafore dress from one of her favourite high-street labels: & Other Stories.

If you want to recreate the spring-ready look, here’s how to get your hands on the frock. You’re welcome.

Where is Holly Willoughby’s outfit from and where can I buy it?

Today, Holly Willoughby is wearing a £135 mini tweed pinafore dress from & Other Stories, teamed with a white blouse and her signature nude heels.

(& Other Stories)

Crafted from a woven blend of materials, this preppy take on a mini dress features narrow straps and a U-shaped neckline that’s ideal for layering. Cut at the waist with an A-line skirt (Holly’s go-to sillouette), it’s secured at the back with a double lapped zip closure. Whether dressed up with a shirt and heels à la Holly or styled down for the weekend with a T-shirt and knee-high boots, the dress will be one of the hardest working items in your wardrobe come spring.

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.

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 (£29, Lookfantastic.com).

Holly 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.
