Cat Deeley is absolutely nailing her festive fashion looks on This Morning this week! On Monday, she delivered the ultimate cool-girl Christmas jumper (more on that later), but it was her look on Wednesday that instantly became the party dress of the season.
The Birmingham-born TV presenter, 49, dazzled in a metallic gold mini dress from Marks & Spencer, priced at a mind-blowing £26 / $57.

The Viral M&S metallic mini dress
This super-cute mini has already achieved viral status. Not only did Cat wear the dress, but fellow TV star AJ Odudu also chose the exact same glitzy M&S party piece just last week, confirming its status as the high street's must-have for December events.

© InstagramI've analysed the online reviews, and shoppers suggest the dress comes up small and is quite figure-hugging. You may want to consider sizing up or choosing the Tall length if you prefer a little more coverage. One comment noted the sleeves were long, which is great for a chic, expensive-looking silhouette.

EXACT MATCH: M&S Metallic Mini Shift Dress

"This dress can be styled up or down depending on the choice of whether to go bare-legged or opt for tights. The dress is a lurex metallic shift fabric with drapey long sleeves - perfect if you prefer to cover your arms on nights out."
How Cat styled the party dress
Cat is certainly a fan of gold (who can forget THOSE divine gold jeans she wore back in 2024?). She styled this affordable mini with a chic, directional spin that makes it look far more expensive than its price tag:
- Tights: She went for thick, opaque black tights for warmth and an instant polished feel.
- Boots: A woman with taste. Cat opted for a pair of knee-high cowboy boots from Anine Bing. These instantly make the mini feel effortlessly cool rather than overly 'done.'
- Belt: Cat cinched her waist with a black belt for added definition - a great styling trick for a shift shape.
How would I style Cat's £26 dress?
This dress is versatile enough for everything from Christmas Eve dinner to a festive pub night.
You can either go glam and pair it with statement gold earrings and pointed slingbacks or heels, you could go for a rock chic edgy look and replicate Cat’s aesthetic with chunky boots and opt for a Penny Lane-style faux leather black jacket layered over the top.
Personal Touch: While Cat belted it, if you prefer a looser, more relaxed look (or have a different body shape), skip the belt and let the shift shape skim your figure.
How about an alternative?
If you'd prefer a slightly longer option, this John Lewis dress is stunning and could be great for your work's Christmas party.
