This Morning viewers ‘audibly gasped’ when they saw Cat Deeley’s blue floral midi dress on screen, and it’s the perfect pick if you’re looking for summer wedding guest dresses
Ever since she took over the helm at This Morning in 2024, Cat Deeley has steadily become a key source of outfit inspiration for viewers thanks to her ability to make high street buys look luxurious. And one of her recent outfits is the perfect example, when she wore Marks & Spencer’s Lyocell Rich Floral Midi Dress that was an instant hit with viewers.
One person commented on Instagram: “Sensational as always! I audibly gasped when I saw the blue dress the other day – absolutely gorgeous!”

The dress is a great choice for the sunny weather, and we’re already earmarking it for our next event. It comes in a periwinkle shade of blue, with a ditsy floral pattern all over for some added interest whilst still letting the dress’ flattering cut and silhouette be the stand out star.
The Floral Midi Dress has a figure-hugging fit with ruching detail around the waist which flatters curves and creates the illusion of an hourglass silhouette, especially when paired with its off-the-shoulder neckline. There are some skinny spaghetti straps which offer additional support, although Cat chose to tuck these in to let the off-shoulder shape really shine.
Cat’s M&S dress would be the perfect option for a summer wedding guest, with its colour and print bringing a summery feel without being too over the top. The fit is flattering without being too clingy or revealing, and the sheer mesh overlay gives it a breezy, playful feel whilst still keeping a more modest midi-length hemline.
Nobody’s Child offers a great alternative, with the Blue Floral Chiffon Logan Maxi Dress which is now on sale down from £130 to £52. The dress featured in Louise Thompson’s recent edit with them, and comes in both petite and regular size options with an ankle-length hem.
For something a little more versatile, Omnes’ Cruze Skirt in Mint Glitched Floral is £59 whilst the matching vest top is £49, allowing you to mix and match the look. Wear it all together for a cohesive co-ord that gives the illusion of a midi dress, or pair the pieces separately into different looks that could be both casual and formal.
However, Cat’s Floral Midi Dress from Marks & Spencer’s is a great pick that’ll stay looking timeless and stylish for years to come. As one of M&S’ newer launches, it’s currently still available in sizes eight to 18, but only has one review – a five star one stating: “Lovely dress – works for formal and casual occasions.”
