On Tuesday, this wasn't quite the case. Posting her usual #hwstyle, Holly looked stunning in a printed floral tea dress from Rixo teamed with a pair of nude pointed-toe heels.

Complete with a flattering scoop neckline and statement gingham rose print, we absolutely loved her elegant look, but it proved polarising among fans.

Flocking to the comments, fans didn't shy away from telling Holly they weren't as impressed with the look as usual.

Fans were divided over Holly's floral and gingham dress

In what is proving to be the star's most controversial outfit to date, one fan wrote: "Sorry but this dress is giving me dinner lady vibes... It's like you're wearing a tabard," whilst another agreed: "You always look stunning but not a fan of the dress".

Several other fans wrote similar comments. "No Holly, you look like a pair of curtains," commented a third, with another writing: "I don't really like the dress Holly. I always like your dresses but not this one."

Whether it was the gingham-come-floral print or the ruffled sleeves, the 40-year-old star couldn't win her fans over with Tuesday's look.
