Holly Willoughby gives first look at her Marks & Spencer favourites – and reveals how Kim Kardashian helped her love her ‘curves and big bottom’
From THAT pink coat to some trendy pops of leopard print, Fabulous Daily Editor Joely Chilcott gives her verdict on Holly Willoughby's M&S top picks
HIGH street queen Holly Willoughby, 37, revealed her must-haves collection for Marks and Spencer and admitted she only started wearing trousers two years ago.
In an exclusive preview of the range, the This Morning presenter said: “I thought having curves and a big bottom were probably something to hide a bit.
- Wool Blend Single Breasted Coat, Marks & Spencer, £69 -
- Pure Cotton Embroidered Short Sleeve T-Shirt, Marks & Spencer, £15 -
- Checked Wrap Mini Skirt, Marks & Spencer, £29.50,
- Faux Leather Cross Body Bag, Marks & Spencer, £35,
- Leather Block Heel Ankle Boots, Marks & Spencer, £79,
“And now, and we partly have Kim Kardashian to thank for it, a big bottom is quite nice. We’ve embraced our bottoms and I found high-waisted trousers.”
And that’s not all Holly has found.
She has hand-selected 20 pieces from M&S that feel authentic, stylish and wearable.
Every piece can be recognised as Holly’s style. It’s a no-brainer that the pink tailored coat worn by the mum-of-three in the first campaign shot is going to be a sell-out.
"Sometimes you’ll find that even though you’re a 12 in a jumper, it will be quite big and boxy. You might think, 'Actually, I love this, but I’m going to wear it in a 10 or an 8 and tuck it in.' Ignore sizes and try stuff on. Wear it how you want to wear it, not how the size dictates."
Holly also admitted that she’s only really found her style as she’s got older. The new I’m a Celeb presenter revealed she feels braver in her thirties - and I can only agree.
She said she's gone through a "rollercoaster" with clothes because she finds fashion "quite scary".
"I used to be quite intimidated by it, I used to feel like I could only wear a certain type of clothing, and sometimes you get stuck in a rut of wearing the same thing over and over again," Holly said.
"I’ve got into it a bit more as I’ve got older. I’ve got used to what works and what doesn’t, and I’ve also got a bit braver about trying different things."
The partnership between M&S, a British institution, and Holly, the nation’s sweetheart is a match made in high street heaven.
"I’ve dreamt about working with Marks and Spencer’s probably since the first time I walked through those doors," Holly gushed.
"It’s one of my favourite places. If you ask my kids what my favourite shop is, they will say Marks and Spencer. Whether it’s buying food or clothes, I love it."
Yes, it’s not the most fashion forward, eccentric collection you’re likely to see, but I defy anyone who can resist one of these must-haves.
