Cat Deeley has been wowing her fans with her elegant sense of style, but her outfits don’t always come with an affordable price-tag.

The This Morning host recently dressed to impress as she attended the Newport Beach Film Festival alongside Edith Bowman. Looking stunning in this Crush Ruffle Halter Maxi Dress from premium brand Zimmerman, it’s no wonder fans fell in love with the look.

However, owing to the 48 year-old’s fashionable reputation, this polka dot dress comes with a rather hefty price-tag of £1,850. Since not many of us could afford it, we have done some digging and found a very similar alternative on the high street.

For those looking to emulate Cat’s style for less, then the Vero Moda Polka Dot Ruffle Halter Neck Maxi Dress is on offer on Very. Despite looking alike, this high street alternative would usually set you back just £95, making it £1,755 cheaper.

However, that saving is made even greater, as Very has knocked the price by £19, with its total now being £76. That means that, with the extra discount added, you can recreate Cat’s chic maxi dress look and save a staggering £1,776 overall.

Both maxi length numbers are perfect feature an all-over polka dot pattern and a halter-style neckline, although the Vero Moda dress has thicker straps. While Cat’s Zimmerman frock falls in a sleek, straight design, the alternative offers a tiered, ruffle design that give it a bit more movement.

Designed in a regular-fit, the Very black polka dot dress also features an adorable flower detail along the front of the halter neckline. It’s finished with an elegant low back detail, alongside a back zip fastening.

It is currently available to buy in sizes XS to XL. With its stylish design, it’s definitely something we’d dress up for a fancy event with a pair of heels, some chic jewellery and possibly a clutch bag.

While there are no reviews for the Vero Moda dress, it is worth noting that many of Cat’s followers on Instagram where swooning over £1,850 dress after she shared a reel of her and Edith Bowman attending the festival on Instagram.

One enthusiastic follower said: “Girl!!! This dress is everything right now.”

Someone else gushed: “Love the dresses!”

Another user who wanted to know where to buy the frock asked: “Dress is from where?”

So, it’s safe to say that Cat’s dress would definitely be a choice for fashion fans. If you want to recreate her chic style for less, then you can purchase choice of alternative, the Vera Moda Polka Dot Ruffle Halter Neck Maxi Dress for £76 here.

For any fancy events you have planned, then another suitable alternative for the presenter’s dress is this Topshop Premium Maxi Dress in Mono Spot that is down from £75 to £30 on ASOS. When we checked, it was still available in sizes UK six to 18.
