Holly Willoughby nails autumnal layering as she returns to This Morning

If we’re ever stuck for fashion inspiration, one glance at Holly Willoughby’s Instagram account gives us all the motivation we need to nail our winter wardrobe.

The TV star returned to work earlier than expected on Monday, and nailed autumnal layering perfectly with a cream roll-neck layered under a red mini dress, which she paired with sheer black tights and black boots.

Holly, 39, stunned in a heart-patterned dress which is incredibly flattering thanks to the cross-body design.

The gorgeous Rouje dress will set you back €170 and is currently available in sizes 8-14.

Given that the temperature has recently dropped, it's no surprise Holly decided to layer up the dress by putting some knitwear underneath - a perfect hack for winter.

Holly's knitwear is on the pricier side, and will cost £175. But it is available in 16 colours.

Although Holly is now a household style icon, there was a time she wasn’t interested in fashion.

Speaking to Red, she explained, “For a long time, I was pretty clueless. There’s a picture of me on the red carpet when I first started in TV and I’m wearing a brown belted cord skirt, a brown cord jacket, fishnet tights and a weird round toe shoe. What was I thinking? But I’ve grown to like clothes more the older I’ve got and I now recognise the importance of having key staples that fit well in your wardrobe.”
