It&#8217;s light, airy, has a flattering hem line and I cant get enough of the delicate toile print &#8211; so elegant and timeless. It&#8217;s the kind of frock you can bring out each season as you know it just wont date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How to wear Cat&#8217;s dress<\/p>\n<p id=\"eAknPsAKku\" data-wc=\"31\">Cat&#8217;s styled her dress with flat, strappy sandals in black. I&#8217;m not actually sure I love this pairing, and would&#8217;ve changed the black for a dark brown or light tan sandal.<\/p>\n<p id=\"enICDEAYGd\" data-wc=\"57\">For a smarter event, add cream strappy heels or an espadrille &#8211; I feel like this dress and an espadrille are the sweetest match. You can add a fine knit cream cardigan or a Chanel-inspired cropped jacket to make it wedding guest or races ready, while a denim jacket or quilted jacket will give you BBQ vibes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We love using the royals as our fashion inspiration and Cat Deeley&#8216;s latest outfit is giving me major&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,9639,10017,10016,7721,7719,24855,7718,7720,1281,447,7710,519,246,817,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-226451","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-cat-deeley","10":"tag-celebrity-fashion","11":"tag-celebrity-style","12":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","13":"tag-duke-of-sussex","14":"tag-get-the-look","15":"tag-harry","16":"tag-meghan","17":"tag-meghan-markle","18":"tag-prince-harry","19":"tag-royal-families","20":"tag-royal-family","21":"tag-shopping","22":"tag-this-morning","23":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114771989003825361","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
