What’s even better than finding out that a piece worn by a stylish celebrity is from one of your favourite British clothing brands? Finding out that it's currently on sale. So, when we found out that the leopard print midi dress Lorraine Kelly just wore is Hush’s Lark Barrel Sleeve Denim Dress and is 40% off in its summer sale, it was a win all round.
Cut to an easy-going, A-line silhouette, it’s the gently puffed sleeves and neat collar of Lorraine’s shirt dress that make it a real standout. A timeless shape, the leopard print is actually on a washed denim fabric, which adds a casual feel to the otherwise polished frock.
When it came to styling her midi, Lorraine turned to another iconic British brand and slipped into a pair of M&S ankle-strap wedge sandals to tie her sophisticated look together. A stunning pair of summer shoes in their own right, her heels are also a great lookalike for the Hermès Elda espadrille with a similar cut and style, emulating the classic H-shaped design of many of Hermès’s most iconic sandals – but they cost just £46 in comparison to the designer style’s £810 price tag.
Endorsed by Lorraine, we're expecting this midi dress to sell out, so snap it up while it's still available in sizes 6-18. It's made from a 100% cotton denim fabric, making it a summer staple that can easily transition between seasons, too.
Even without their uncanny resemblance to the Hermès Elda espadrille, Lorraine's M&S sandals are a chic style to rely on throughout summer. They're sold-out in the wide-fit option, but are still available in sizes 4-8 in the standard fit.
Like Lorraine's dress, this one from Boden is made from denim and boasts a top-to-toe, washed-out leopard print pattern. With a shorter hem, it's cut to a shift dress silhouette which makes it loose and breezy, as well as easy style.
If heels aren't your thing, or you're looking for a flat shoe option this summer, this pair of flatform sandals from Dune London is a great option that looks just as sophisticated as Lorraine's M&S pair.
While this H&M dress is not made from denim, it does share an incredibly similar shape with Lorraine's Hush dress. Cut to an A-line silhouette, with voluminous short sleeves and button details on the front, it's an affordable alternative.
While the high wedge of these Next heels might appear daunting, you can rest easy as they're packed full of Next's comfort-enhancing tech, as well as a platform sole that balances out the high heel, and a series of supportive straps.
There are so many bestselling summer styles from M&S to choose from at the moment, and Lorraine’s espadrilles are up there with its current best buys. The jute detailing immediately injects a summer feel, while the slim ankle strap and tan, cutout toe create a timeless and elegant look.
They were a great choice to pair with her Hush dress, adding a warm-weather feel to the denim texture, something that's not always the first choice when it comes to the best summer dresses, but this short-sleeve design fits seamlessly into summer capsule wardrobes.
Lorraine’s dress is super versatile – even with its standout print. Creating an elevated style by adding a pair of espadrilles to her outfit, it’s easy to style up even further by adding some black pumps and a small clutch or shoulder bag.
