BBC presenter Kelly Cates wows World Cup watchers in chic off-shoulder yellow tailoring that's perfect for summer
She brightened up the World Cup coverage in butter yellow
Those of us who stayed up late to watch the BBC's coverage of England's tense World Cup match against Mexico last night (or anybody catching up today!) will have been mesmerised by presenter Kelly Cates' outfit for the evening. Has anyone ever looked this elegant at 4am?
She chose a striking off-the-shoulder blazer and matching wide-leg trousers by British clothing brand Club L London, and I love the soft pastel colour. The butter yellow obsession has been everywhere for the last few seasons, plus the off-the-shoulder neckline worked perfectly to frame Kelly's bob. The structural wrap-over shape looks far more designer than high street, too.
Her full outfit is available to buy, or alternatively, I've found some similarly striking pieces to help you say yes to yellow this summer.

If the full look isn't for you, this bardot blazer will work beautifully teamed with jeans. This kind of neckline is incredibly flattering as it shows off your collarbones and shoulders but still offers plenty of coverage. Wondering what bra to wear underneath?

Impeccably tailored, these trousers are available in either lemon yellow or sage green, in UK sizes 6 to 16. Club L is a celebrity favourite when it comes to events, and this look would make a stylish alternative to a dress for any summer plans you have.
If the off-shoulder shape doesn't work for you, this linen-blend waistcoat and trousers will see you through the next heatwave in style. It's also a great last-minute option if you're trying to figure out what to wear to Wimbledon.
This peplum top has the same structured feel to Kelly's top, but be quick to click because it's selling out as we speak...
This breezy bardot dress would work with your best white trainers, and it's got some fabulous customer reviews, including one who wrote: "Excellent value, no fuss summer dress...with pockets! Just throw it on - good for many informal occasions".
A jumpsuit is a clever way to get the tailored look in one easy-to-throw-on outfit. This Nobody's Child option is now 50% off, and I love the twist detailing on the back.
woman&home's Fashion Channel Editor Rivkie Baum explains why Kelly's look worked so well: "butter yellow was one of last summer's hottest hues, and while it isn't at the top of the spring/summer fashion colour trends for 2026, this soft pastel shade is still very much on our radar.
"Surprisingly flattering on most skin tones, this warm-weather-loving colour is ideal for special occasion moments, and this figure-flattering jumpsuit ticks a lot of boxes. A great alternative to the best summer dresses, the flared leg shape not only nips in at the waist, but also offers a breezier finish, while sleeves offer upper arm coverage, while still having that beautiful, wide, off-the-shoulder neckline. With a self-tie fabric belt for added drama, this chic outfit looks so designer."
