Cat Deeley Praises Orange M&S Dress as 'Absolutely Gorgeous' and Perfect for Petites

Cat Deeley matched the sunshine while hosting Tuesday's edition of This Morning, wearing a vibrant orange lace mini dress from M&S that she called 'absolutely gorgeous.' The £60 sleeveless shift dress, adorned with floral lace applique, has drawn widespread praise for its bold color and flattering fit, with customers noting its appeal for petite women. The dress remains available in all sizes despite high demand, offering a stylish option for those seeking something different from standard tall-focused designs.

One customer wrote: "At last something different for women who are not six feet tall.. you have some fab dresses for taller women but next to nothing for those of us who are petite. Love the colour the cut and the fit." The dress aligns with spring/summer fashion trends for 2026, which predicted bold colors would be a hit. Stylists recommend allowing the dress to take center stage, pairing it with warm neutrals, gold, or tan accessories.

Cat finished her look with tan leather T-bar sandals from French brand Sezane, which are also selling quickly. While the dress is designed to fit a range of sizes, M&S customers have advised sizing up, noting the dress runs small. One reviewer said: "I am between 2 dress sizes and definitely need the larger of the two, so size up if you are unsure." The model on the M&S website is 5'9", so the dress may appear longer on shorter wearers.

For those preferring a longer option, alternatives such as a Mint Velvet midi dress or an ASOS option are recommended for summer events or holiday packing. Lace dresses are also praised for their wrinkle-resistant properties, making them ideal for weddings or formal occasions.
