Whether you’re personally smitten by her style or not, there’s no denying that Holly Willoughby’s This Morning outfits have become as much of a talking point as any of the stories featured on the show itself – and today is no exception.

Following a string of dreamy high street #hwstyle picks, including a blue pleated midi skirt from Mango and a mini dress from Nobody’s Child, it should come as no surprise that Holly has opted for another high street brand for her latest ensemble, albeit at the more expensive end of the spectrum. 

Today’s outfit is an elegant mint green midi dress from & Other Stories, which features a spotted print that feels like the perfect nod to the upcoming Easter celebrations.

While the brand sits at the pricier end of the high street, this particular dress is one we imagine will become a mainstay in your wardrobe, whatever the season.

The presenter kept her accessories to a minimum by pairing the dress with a simple pair of nude heels to really let the outfit do the talking.

Due to the popularity of the presenter’s outfits, particularly those from the high street, key pieces often sell out fast in a phenomenon dubbed the “Holly effect”. 

So, if you want to recreate the look, you’ll need to be quick. Here’s how to get your hands on the dress before it sells out.

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

Holly Willoughby’s outfit today is the scoop neck puff shoulder midi dress from popular high street label & Other Stories, priced at £85.

Made in a soft mint green shade, it features puff shoulders, a super-flattreing scoop neckline and also has a subtle side slit.

While Holly wore the look with nude heels for today’s show, we think this dress would look just as stylish when worn with chunky sandals or white trainers on more casual days. A great trans-seasonal piece, it would also serve you well in the cooler months when layered under a cosy jumper and paired with knee high boots.

If you fancy a twist on Holly’s original look, the dress also comes in black.

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 shade.  

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.
