Television presenter Cat Deeley has set fashion hearts racing after appearing on ITV's This Morning in a glittering skirt from Marks and Spencer, already being celebrated as the ultimate party season find.
The Star-Approved Skirt
The 49-year-old host showcased the retailer's Tweed Embellished Mini A-Line Skirt, a piece that has quickly garnered a wave of positive reviews from early purchasers. Priced at £46, the black mini skirt is crafted from a substantial tweed fabric, offering a luxurious Chanel-esque aesthetic without the designer price tag.
Styled by Rachael Hughes for her television appearance, Cat Deeley paired the skirt with a white frilled blouse from Holland Cooper, completing the look with opaque black tights and patent Mary Jane shoes. The ensemble was noted for its clever balance, evoking a chic mix of St Trinian's and Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf.
Design and Versatility
Dubbed 'great for the party season', the skirt's design is a key part of its appeal. It features a flattering A-line cut with a back zip fastening and is adorned with pearl and bead embellishments for a touch of festive sparkle.
A practical bonus for the busy holiday period is that the heavy tweed material is less prone to creasing, meaning no tedious ironing is required. Its versatility is a major selling point; it can be dressed for the office with tights and a cardigan or elevated for evening drinks with heels and a blouse.
What The Shoppers Say
The M&S skirt has already accumulated numerous glowing customer reviews, demonstrating its popularity ahead of the festive rush. One enthusiastic reviewer called it "Really lovely skirt. One of my favourite skirts ever. Can be dressed up or down and is very versatile."
Another confirmed its seasonal perfection, stating: "Beautiful skirt which will be perfect for the Christmas season." However, potential buyers should note the sizing advice from reviews; while one customer found it came up "slightly big," another advised that it "does run small," recommending sizing up for a comfortable fit.
A fourth customer summed up the general feeling, enthusing: "Literally love this skirt. Great for the party season. Heavy tweed type fabric that hangs really well. Lovely fit. Can't wait to wear it."
For those seeking alternatives, the article mentions a £49 Mari Black Boucle Skirt from FatFace with a more subtle sparkle, and a £36 Black Boucle Tailored Sequin Mini Skirt from River Island for those who prefer maximum glitter.
The M&S Tweed Embellished Mini A-Line Skirt is available online for £46 and is poised to be a standout piece for holiday celebrations.
