Cat Deeley's Rixo animal print blouse is an elegant statement piece worth investing in – and Alison Hammond agrees
On This Morning, Deeley wears the same fabulous printed top as her co-star
Cat Deeley gives us another reason to take note of Rixo's new-in collection with a fabulous top that we've already seen on her co-star Alison Hammond. On This Morning, she wore the animal-print suki top from the British clothing brand, proving that it's worth shopping while it's still in stock.
Whilst Alison gave the same top a slightly edgier feel by pairing it with a croc-effect leather skirt and black pointy flats, Cat's outfit feels polished and evening-ready, proving how versatile both animal print and this top are. Statement blouses, shirts and tops are great for building autumn outfit ideas that are put-together yet full of personality.
She pairs the long-sleeve Rixo top with black, tailored wide-leg trousers for a sophisticated base that lets the brown antelope print stand out. She adds a gold chain belt by Dehanche for a hint of glamour and finishes the look with black pointed-heeled boots.
This black antelope spot top is statement-making yet easy to wear. It features long, slightly voluminous sleeves for a blouson effect and is made from a soft jersey for a comfortable finish.
These smart trousers are a wardrobe staple you'll wear all year round. The fluid wide-leg and front pleats make them an elegant choice, whilst their black shade means they are extremely versatile.
A great way to elevate even the simplest outfits: this gold belt adds polish to almost everything. The statement chain design makes it ideal for layering over black tailored trousers or even neutral dresses.
This blouse is an easy way to embrace this season's love of animal print, combining a classic leopard motif with an elegant cowl neckline. The draped design makes it feel so sophisticated.
If you're on the hunt for smart trousers that prioritise comfort, these are the perfect find. Not only do they feature a polished wide-leg design, but they also have a clever elasticated back for maximum ease.
Offering a sleek finishing touch to almost any autumn outfit, these boots are a must-have. They have a glossy finish for a trendy feel, whilst the subtle kitten heel adds height without compromising on wearability.
Animal print is everywhere this season, with leopard, zebra and even deer featuring heavily in the autumn/winter fashion trends 2026. And Cat's outfit shows that a statement piece in these prints injects personality into your outfits effortlessly. This Rixo top adds texture to her neutral black trousers, whilst the addition of a gold belt picks up on the undertones in the pattern.
The combination of a statement top or blouse, tailored trousers and heeled boots is one of those smart-casual outfits that is so easy to recreate. Tailored trousers make the top feel polished, and tucking in the blouse creates a flattering silhouette; add heeled boots or even leather loafers, and you are good to go.
