Louise Roe's tailored midi dress nails Royal Ascot's dress code and has 20% off
Fashion expert Louise Roe secured her place on Royal Ascot's best dressed list with a tailored red midi dress from Karen Millen – and you can still shop her exact look with 20% off
This year's Royal Ascot outfits have been some of the best yet, and one celeb to firmly cement her place on the best dressed list is Louise Roe. The fashion journalist and broadcaster showed off her outfit on Instagram, opting for the form-fitting Pleated Tailored Midi Blazer Dress from high street favourite Karen Millen.
The flattering tailored dress is usually priced at £229, but currently shoppers can save 20% on Louise's exact dress, with the price slashed to £183.20. Everything from its bold red hue to the sharp tailoring and breezy midi skirt made it a hit for the event, looking effortlessly cool whilst still nailing Royal Ascot 's smart occasionwear dress code.
Described on the Karen Millen site as 'where power dressing meets feminine charm', the Pleated Tailored Midi Blazer Dress has a structured bodice with a short sleeved blazer-inspired design. It nips in at the waist and flares out gently over the hips to create an hourglass silhouette, with structured shoulders to balance your figure.
The short sleeves help keep it cool enough to wear even in the high temperatures, with a classic double breasted button fastening and notched lapels that make it formal and smart. The fitted bodice then flows into a pleated midi skirt which has plenty of movement for a breezy, effortless look.
Although Louise's Karen Millen Tailored Midi Dress is still available to buy, it's currently selling out quickly with only sizes six, 10 and 14 left in stock. We did however spot another very similar design at Karen Millen, with the Petite Tailored Crepe Asymmetric Pleated Midi Dress slashed by a huge 70% from £289 to £87.
Elsewhere this Friends Like These Red Long Sleeve Belted Wrap Tailored Dress from Next (£49) has a similar spirit to Louise's Karen Millen dress, albeit with a more simple design. For something more breezy and on the casual side, Finery London's Penny Red Midi Dress is also £49 and is made from a breezy, flowing cotton material.
However if you want to get your hands on Louise's Pleated Tailored Midi Blazer Dress and it still has your size available, now is the perfect time to snap it up.

She penned: "Any other mums/dads of 16 year old, post GCSE children suddenly find themselves with a new role of personal party driver? "Mums 'Mini' yes... I'm now a Glasses wearer… game changer! Will tag the details!" One follower commented: "LOVVVVVVE the specs, I got mine 2 years ago and can't be without the accessory now! They are cute." Another added: "all the best people wear glasses!" While a third added: "You look absolutely beautiful holly with glasses." A fourth remarked: "Looking lovely good to see you." It comes as Holly recently looked happier than ever as she posed in a bikini and cuddled two pals. The star couldn't stop smiling as she sat on the floor with her arms wrapped around Director of Artist Relations at Universal Music, Shiarra Bell, and All Saints star Nicole Appleton. Posting the snap to Instagram, she kept the caption simple with a single red heart emoji, tagging both friends. Holly Willoughby proves blondes do have more fun as she dyes her own hair The former This Morning host's celeb buddies filled the comments section with their well wishes. Emma Bunton wrote: "There's my gorgeous girls!!!" while Lisa Snowdon said: "The cutest pic!" and Christine Lampard inserted a string of heart-eyed emojis. Meanwhile, it has been a testing few years for the former ITV treasure - as she has been left without a TV show for the first time in years. One option for the star could be a reboot of Record Breakers, which Holly's husband Dan Baldwin is already working on. There is currently no channel attached to the show, which is in its very early stages but sources say it would be a "perfect fit". A telly insider said: "Record Breakers is likely to be a prime time hit and it would make perfect sense for Holly to take the reins. "She has worked alongside Dan before and the pair know what it takes to make great telly." She has also been linked to a reboot of Cilla Black's best-known show, Blind Date. The Sun told this week how the ITV classic is being revived - and in a surprise twist will go to global streaming service Disney+. Producers want to keep the tradition of a top British female host, with a shortlist also including Claudia Winkleman and Davina McCall. Sources say Holly is also being looked at for a new Channel 4 talent show, currently dubbed Secret Singers, which is searching for raw, undiscovered singing talent. Love Productions - the creators of The Great British Bake Off and The Piano - have already put out a casting call. An insider said: "This is likely to be a heartwarming and hugely popular show for all the family. "They are looking for a the perfect host to make sure it's a huge success and it could be perfect timing with Holly's break in TV."

This Morning star suffers painful injury after accident during live ITV show
Kate Lawler first found fame when she won Big Brother back in 2002 and has been a television personality ever since This Morning's Kate Lawler suffered a painful hammock injury while on live TV. The Big Brother winner was working on the ITV show when she was telling viewers about the most recent competition. She wished fans of the show "good luck indeed" before saying she was going to sit on the hammock which then didn't go quite to plan. Kate fell straight off the hammock as she perched down but that didn't stop her speaking to the camera. She said "what a better way to enjoy the sunshine" as she scrambled to climb back onto the hammock but to no avail. The end of the clip shows Kate successfully climbing onto the hammock as she proudly announces "I did it". However, Kate then admits that she had "really hurt" her ankle before asking a crew member to pass her an espresso martini. Meanwhile, presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard can be heard laughing in the background as they watch Kate struggling. This comes soon after Kate admitted that she had broken the law. She said that she is in her neighbour's bad books after an altercation involving their shed. The 45-year-old took to Instagram to ask her followers for advice as she said she'd painted the back of the "garish blue" shed black instead. She said that her neighbour had "gone mad" at what she had done despite being the only one who can see the shed. Kate said: "Why do I always get myself in these situations? I'm in trouble with my neighbour for painting the back of their bright blue, garish, shed a different colour. Won't be doing it again as in hindsight I know I should have asked first, but I didn't think it would be a big deal given that they can't see it?" Kate went on to ask her followers if she was actually an "a******e" who "needed to buy flowers". She then asked: "It has made me wonder though… Would you be annoyed if you discovered the back of your shed (which you couldn't see) had been painted by the neighbour whose garden backed on to yours? "Have you had a similar fall out with your neighbour? Basically, am I a******e and should I buy them flowers and a box of milk tray to apologise?" Responding to her post, fellow This Morning star, Lisa Snowdon, replied: "Oops" with a see-no-evil emoji. While another of Kate's followers said: "Honestly .. you should have asked and she should have said yes" as another joked: "Id love it! ..you're the famous Kate Lawler! That's like having a Banksy on your shed." Kate first found fame back in 2002 when she appeared on Big Brother. She managed to win the crown of the series as she was announced the winner. She has previously said that she is glad she applied for the show as she wouldn't have had the career she had without it. Since the win, she has gone on to become a TV presenter, regularly appearing on This Morning.
