Fire engine red is one of the biggest fashion colour trends of 2026, and Cat Deeley just nailed the look in the chicest of co-ords. Stepping out to present ITV's This Morning, the star opted for a halter neck top and matching skirt in a silky fabric.
Light and breezy, Cat's silk-satin red skirt was from British clothing brand, ME+EM. Still available in all sizes, the skirt features a ruched, drop waistband, keeping it inline with current trends. Creating a dress-like aesthetic, with a coordinating halter neck top, Cat finished off her ensemble with a pair of boots.
The spring-ready look was an ideal choice for the increasingly warm weather we're seeing this week, with both pieces crafted from breathable fabric. The floaty skirt was balanced by the more fitted top half, and while the star was bare-armed for inside the studio, this two-piece could be teamed easily with a seasonally appropriate leather or denim jacket.
This is the colour of the season

Still fully stocked in all sizes, this beautiful maxi skirt features a drop waist, with a deep ruched silky waistband for a luxurious feel. The lightweight, floaty skirt is ideal for warmer weather and the skirt can easily be dressed up for dinner plans, or worn more casually with a tee.
A silky, draped halter neck top is an excellent choice for evening wear and is ideal for lengthening your silhouette. The high neck and cut away detail at the shoulders creates a longer frame, drawing the eye up your silhouette. There aren't many sizes left here if you want to create the co-ord.
For a more daytime, summer ready feel, Mint Velvet's linen collection has a red co-ord that offers a similar look and feel to Cat's silky set. The linen top offers more coverage, particularly across the back and shoulders than a halterneck style too.
This gathered skirt is crafted from breathable linen for a lovely, light, summery wear. With a similar silhouette to Cat's design, this red skirt has a more day-ready look, ideal for teaming with your favourite white tee and best white trainers on lovely summer days.
While Cat's elegant top is selling fast, this beautiful, one-shoulder, meets halter neck design is still in stock in all sizes. The bow detailing adds extra polish, and this piece could easily be paired with a skirt, jeans or tailored trousers.
Offering a straighter cut, but still in a bold red hue, this crinkle maxi skirt offers a more casual take on Cat's look. Team with everything from sandals and trainers to spring-ready knee high boots, it will work with knitwear too.
Somewhat of a neutral, red might be in line with the spring/summer fashion trends of 2026, but it is a colour that never truly disappears from the high street or our wardrobes. Pairing effortlessly with other classic hues of white, navy, camel and black, it's one of the easiest, bright tones to inject into your spring capsule wardrobe thanks to its versatility.
If you're looking for an easy way to style red, then a co-ord does a lot of the hard work for you, and as Cat has shown, it can often give a dress-like appearance, and if you need to, you can adapt the size of your top and skirt according to your needs.
Finishing her look off with a pair of red-toned boots, Cat added a more casual spin to her look and added a spring-ready feel, as the weather can still be unpredictable and a little chilly at the start and end of the day. Accessorising her finished look with a large gold cuff, Cat's simple but polished red look was the chicest way to see out her presenting duties for the week.
