Cat Deeley highlights the power of a hard-working summer dress whilst hosting This Morning, and her sky blue midi from M&S feels just as appropriate for everyday wear as it does for weddings, garden parties and special occasions.

Home to some of the best summer dresses on the high-street street, the British clothing brand M&S seems to be the place to shop at the moment. And this pretty midi dress only further confirms this.

Cat wears the Lyocell Rich floral midi dress in an eyecatching sky blue with pretty florals and a feminine off-the-shoulder cut. Gianvito Rossi's nude Portofino 85 suede sandals finish the look as well as earrings from Dorsey.

If you're heading to a special occasion or wondering what to wear to a wedding but don't want to invest in a piece that will hang unworn in your wardrobe for the rest of the year, a floral midi dress is a wise choice.

Timeless, sophisticated and extremely versatile, Cat's style of dress can be dressed up with heels, sparkly jewellery and a clutch for special occasions, or paired with your most comfortable sandals and a woven tote for an everyday look.

What makes it stand out is its midi silhouette, which can be easily dressed up or down, and its playful, bright, summery colour. The ruched detailing across the waist also makes it a flattering choice, too.

Plus, the light pastel blue shades have quietly become part of the spring/summer fashion colour trends 2026. Airy blues are great for livening up your wardrobe, and they go with a range of shades, from neutrals to other sorbet tones such as butter yellow or lilac.
