When I showed my HELLO! colleagues Lorraine Kelly 's latest outfit, they all said the same thing - that they LOVE a denim dress. Honestly, same girls. I repeat wear my denim Aligne Gabriella dress more than any dress should be repeated, because it's just so wearable.
And Lorraine's denim dress is just that too - a brilliantly useful fashion piece that suits all ages, all sizes and all seasons. I tracked down Lorraine's high street dress at River Island. Priced at a reasonable £56, the Belted Denim Midi Dress looks luxe thanks to the dark indigo wash and slightly thicker material - this isn't a chambray dress, but a bona fide denim midi.
What I love more about the dress is the subtle elevated touches. The tortoiseshell buttons are a step up from plain or metal, and the belt is a great figure-cincher with its matching tortoiseshell buckle. The half sleeves are another elevated touch, slightly longer than a T-shirt style but not full length.
Lorraine, 65, loves a midi dress and this fits right into her comfort zone, with its below the knee hem. And she added a pop of red heels to give her outfit a colourful accent. EXACT MATCH: River Island Denim Belted Midi Dress £56 at River Island This dress is 100% cotton and machine washable, which is a must for me - I haven't got the time nor money to be dry cleaning a high street dress on the regular.
It looks fluid too, and not too rigid so should be a comfortable buy. Denim dresses are all over the high street, so if Lorraine's isn't .
