This Morning presenter Cat Deeley has sent fashion fans into a frenzy with a chic cream skirt she wore on the ITV show in the run-up to Christmas. The 49-year-old host's elegant look, however, is rapidly selling out online, prompting a search for savvy high-street alternatives.
The Original Look: A Festive Fashion Statement
Cat Deeley presented the daytime show alongside co-host Ben Shephard, 50, sporting a sophisticated all-cream ensemble. The centrepiece was a long, pleated skirt from luxury brand ME+EM, featuring a stylish side split. She paired the skirt with a boxy white top and satin heels, completing the look with a bouncy blow-dry and minimal makeup for a suitably festive yet refined appearance.
The exact ME+EM skirt remains on sale for £250, but sizes are vanishing quickly. Originally available in sizes 6 to 18, the crepe material, drop-waist design has already sold out in sizes 14, 16, and 18, with only limited stock left in smaller sizes.
Affordable Alternatives for Every Budget
For fans disappointed by the sell-out, several high-street retailers offer similar styles at a fraction of the price. The most notable alternative comes from Next, which is selling a two-piece set for just £44. The set includes both cream and black pleated chiffon skirts and is available in all sizes from extra small to extra large.
Shoppers who have already purchased the Next set have praised it as "comfortable" and "great value for money." Next suggests styling the skirt with a blouse for a polished finish.
Other retailers have also captured the pleated maxi skirt trend:
- ASOS DESIGN offers a similar pleated maxi skirt for £36.
- Reiss sells its 'Seren' pleated maxi skirt for £158.
- Karen Millen has a tailored crepe skirt on sale for £159.20, reduced from £199.
Deeley's Previous Festive Fashion Hit
This is not the first time Cat Deeley's on-air wardrobe has sparked a shopping rush. Recently, she presented the show in a fashionable red Boden jumper, which also prompted viewers to seek out the style.
The exact Boden jumper, made from 100% certified merino wool, retails for £119 and comes in several colours including blue, camel, orange, and grey. New customers can currently get 15% off with a promo code.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly festive knit, alternatives are available:
- Joules at Next: A cotton-blend jumper with a festive pattern for £69.
- Marks & Spencer: A merino wool jumper with a colourful pattern for £85.95 (limited sizes).
- Apricot: A chunky knit black and white jumper for just £35.
With Christmas Day fast approaching, shoppers looking to emulate Cat Deeley's sophisticated television style now have multiple options, whether they're investing in the original designer pieces or opting for a high-street dupe.
