Holly Willoughby has said she has found her "new favourite" Marks & Spencer outfit in the form of a "gorgeous" summer dress.
The This Morning star, who is taking a break from the ITV show following the news of co-star Phillip Schofield's departure, took to Instagram for the first time this week to show off the floral outfit. Holly, who is an ambassador for the high street retailer, regularly shares pictures of herself modelling M&S outfits, but admitted that the new dress had "rocketed" into her all-time favourites.
The Linen Rich Floral Square Neck Midi Dress in question features a traditional square neck and voluminous short sleeves, complete with a seam at the waist to create a flattering silhouette. Finished with an elegant frill tier on the bottom of the skirt to add "a touch of glamour", the dress is available in sizes six to 24 and comes with a price tag of £49.50.

Showing off the dress in an M&S ad on Instagram, Holly said: "You can never have too many printed dresses. This gorgeous style has rocketed to take the top spot as my new favourite."
The dress has a rating of 4.1 out of five stars based on reviews from shoppers on the M&S website. One person who loved it said: "Just gorgeous, flattering fit and lovely fabric - quite pricey but worth it."
Another fan of the dress wrote: "This dress is great to wear with trainers or wedges. Very slimming and just the right length. I will get a lot of wear out of it this summer, thanks M&S - another great buy."
However, there does appear to be some disagreement among shoppers when it comes to the sizing of the dress. One person who left a negative review said that they bought the dress in their usual size only to find that it was "so small", while someone else similarly said that it was "far too small" for them.
But other reviews were far more positive about the fit of the dress. "Perfect fit for me as a size 12," one person penned in their review, and another said: "Size 14 fits perfectly. Would recommend."
Holly paired the dress with Leather Strappy Statement Sandals from M&S. Priced at £45, the sandals come in ivory, black, silver or pink, and have an impressive rating of 4.2 stars out of five based on more than 30 reviews from shoppers.
One fan of the footwear said: "They are so comfy. Perfect size heel for me to wear all day and look extremely classy. Love them."
"Great sandals, go with lots of outfits - excellent value and quality," another customer wrote.
And a third shopper said: "Lovely fitting sandals, very stylish and the straps are very comfortable. The heel makes the sandal look very classy."
If you're looking to achieve a similar look for less, online clothing giant Shein is selling strappy Heeled Sandals for just £13.75. The budget sandals have a rating of 4.8 out of five stars on the Shein website, and are available in several colours from classic beige or black to statement red.
