Butter yellow may still be commandeering the high street, but Kate Garraway's latest dress has us considering a brighter, bolder alternative. Kate's striking yellow lace dress feels fresh, joyful and an easy way to give our wardrobes a vibrant update. 

Bright hues are set to dominate our wardrobes over the coming months, and Kate's Good Morning Britain dress proves that bold colours can be every bit as elegant and polished as softer pastel shades.

  • Kate Garraway hosts Good Morning Britain on weekdays.
  • Kate, 59, wore a bold yellow lace dress on Thursday's morning show.
  • We tracked down Kate's dress to Coast, on sale for £50.

On Thursday's show, the ITV presenter embraced the sunshine with her yellow lace dress. It's a bold look, granted, but what an impact it makes; if you're looking for wedding guest inspiration, or even need a mother of the bride dress, this could be the one.

Styled by Debbie Dresses, Kate wore the Coast Lace Dress to present the morning show. The high street dress is an occasionwear piece you could re-wear time and time again. Featuring an intricate lace overlay pattern, it's all in the details with this dress; scalloped edging on the sleeves, a collared button down front and a flattering waist defining belt.

This dress is selling fast, and it's no surprise. It's been discounted to just £50, down from £139. If yellow isn't quite the shade for you, embrace the alternative bold shades this dress is available in; a fiery tomato red and a beautiful, rich teal.

What I love about the dress is not only lace pattern but the matching fabric covered belt. It elevates the dress to look even more polished, and nips in the waist as much - or as little - as you want.

Although there are no reviews from shoppers, I'd suggest taking your regular size or sizing up, so that it's a comfortable fit.

Alternative options

This is a very popular dress, but if your size isn't available fear not, as the high street is actually teeming with similar yellow lace dresses.

Wallis has an almost identical dress, in the same shade as Kate's but is a fit and flare shape, as opposed to a shirt dress. Equally as flattering, it pulls in at the waist and flares out at the hips to create a beautiful hourglass figure.

Coast has quite a few yellow lace shirt dresses like Kate's, and I really rate this lighter yellow option for an almost identical look.

It has a similar belted shape, but with the addition of long sleeves and a slightly more voluminous skirt.

Or if a lighter hue of yellow is more flattering for your skin tone, Club L London's yellow lace dress should do the trick. It's belted, with a pointed collar and looks stunning with gold accessories.

Other great versions include the Kaleidoscope Lace Belted Dress, £47.60, and Holland Cooper's Annabel Dress, £299.

In recent years, it's Carole Middleton who was at the forefront of a yellow lace dress trend. The royal grandmother sparked a slew of copycat dresses after she wore a yellow lace midi from ME+EM to Royal Ascot 2025.

It promptly sold out and has now become a staple occasion wear option.
