Lorraine Kelly, renowned for her impeccable style, never fails to impress with her sartorial choices. Her recent Instagram post featuring a stunning Italian-inspired dress from Phase Eight has sparked major summer vibes among her followers, even if the weather doesn’t quite reflect it. The 64-year-old presenter, with over 500,000 followers on Instagram, regularly shares her on-screen looks, but this particular dress caught our eye and is still available in all sizes. While it’s a bit of an investment at £139, the Nelly Linen Wrap Midi Dress from Phase Eight is an ideal choice for a summer wedding, an upcoming vacation abroad, or a picnic in the park once the temperature finally rises.
The timeless midi dress, inspired by the charming landscapes of Tuscany, features a delightful hand-painted print. Crafted from a comfortable and airy linen-rich blend, it’s perfect for keeping you cool during those sweltering summer months. Available in sizes six to 18, the dress boasts a flattering wrap design with a matching belt that ties at the waist, creating a chic and sophisticated silhouette. Lorraine kept her styling simple, pairing the dress with nude open-toe heels. However, Phase Eight demonstrates the dress’s versatility by styling it with nude knee-high boots and a cropped trench jacket for cooler days.
Lorraine’s post, captioned “Today’s look – @phaseeight and sandals @danielfootwear #summer#summervibes#fashion#summerdress#sandals,” has received over 3,000 likes and numerous comments from fans praising her look. One follower exclaimed, “You look wonderful Lorraine, and such a pretty dress too.” Another added, “Love this dress, need it in my summer wardrobe.” A third commented, “Another gorgeous dress Lorraine, very flattering and elegant, and your hair and makeup looks lovely.”
The stunning dress also features quarter-length balloon sleeves that are elasticated for added stretch and comfort. It’s no surprise that this dress has become a hot topic. If you’re looking for a similar linen piece to embrace the summer vibes, consider the Linen Wrap Midi Dress from & Other Stories, available on H&M. Priced at £125, it comes in sizes UK 4 to 16 and features a charming yellow and pink floral pattern.
For those seeking a floaty dress that’s effortless to throw on over a bikini, the £45 Linen Rich Cami Midi Dress is a perfect summer staple. This breezy cami shift dress offers a comfortable regular fit with a flattering square neckline and a modest mid-length for ample coverage. It’s the ideal choice for those warm summer days when you want to stay cool and stylish.
