Ever since Holly Willoughby's sudden departure from This Morning following 14 years on the show, the question on everyone's mind was: who will be her replacement? As of now, This Morning's official presenters are Cat Deeley (along with co-host Ben Shephard) - and we're beaming at the host's fashion choices that have left a lasting impression.
There's a blend of high-street and premium brands which are stylish but incredibly budget-friendly - our favourite combo. Deeley seems to have a soft spot for Sézane, the French label loved by Sienna Miller, Kate Middleton and Selena Gomez, known for its cosy knits, chic outerwear and tailored shirts. Other high-street favourites loved by Deeley include Boden, River Island and Hush.
For some more insight into the presenter's elegant wardrobe, we spoke to David O'Brien, Cat Deeley's stylist and head of costume at ITV. 'Cat is a total dream to work with,' he says. 'She loves fashion and has a great style aesthetic. We love to make fashion and clothes fun and playful. At the moment, we are loving the whole 70’s vibe with lots of texture and colour.'
High-street reigns supreme when discussing which brands he enjoys dressing Deeley in the most. 'Sézane, Hush, Boden and Mint Velvet are all great quality, as well as more affordable high street favourites such as Zara, River Island and Mango.' The stylist goes on to say that he often embarks on a treasure hunt for more one-of-a-kind second-hand pieces, too. 'Vintage shops are great for finding interesting pieces such as belts or that fabulous one-off find. I'm also a fan of eBay and other resale platforms along with rummaging in TKMaxx'.
Finally, we asked Deeley's stylist for his top tips for keeping an outfit exciting. 'It's all about playfulness again,' he says. 'About having fun and feeling comfortable to try new things. Look at what's happening in high-end fashion on the runway and tailor ideas to your budget.' O'Brien also recommends that a little DIY goes a long way when trying to keep things fresh. 'Change hemlines - shorten dresses, lengthen trouser hems. Switch buttons. Simply changing a belt can elevate an outfit.'
