Look no further for the perfect party outfit inspiration! Cat Deeley has us shopping leather shorts after styling a stunning pair with a satin blouse and some knee high leather boots.

Pulling together a versatile and wearable autumn capsule wardrobe, we focus on everyday pieces like practical suede boots and flattering denim jeans, knowing that we'll come back to them time after time to pull together casual-chic looks.

But equally important, especially as we head into the festive part of the year, is getting our hands on party-worthy pieces. And while we want statement and standout outfits that will make a splash at every event we attend over the holidays, we still want to be able to wear these items in our day-to-day life to get the most out of them.

That's why we've fallen in love with the leather shorts and knee high boots Cat Deeley wore earlier this week. She absolutely nailed the party-ready look in a pair of flattering wide leg leather shorts from Anine Bing, with their comfortable mid-rise waist and relaxed fit at the leg creating a fun and unique look.

Bringing a festive feel to the outfit with her sophisticated red satin blouse, which she tucked into the shorts to show off her chunky buckled belt, it was Cat's knee high boots that really caught our attention.

Her point-toe, knee high leather boots from LKBennett looked so sleek and elevated when paired with the matching leather shorts and with the addition of some sheer black tights, the look was streamlined, made to feel more wearable and, of course, will keep you much warmer in these colder months!

Cat's sleek and voluminous old Hollywood hairstyle really added to the party-ready feel of her outfit, with a dramatic side parting, sweeping fringe and stunning blow out curls bringing a dazzling and glamorous finish to the outfit.

Her makeup look is a great one to recreate for any occasion. Creating a refined and sophisticated look, her flawless and glowing foundation gave her a healthy glow while a sweeping of pink blusher brought colour not only to her cheeks but also her temples, which created a cohesive and elevated look we're going to be wearing all throughout autumn.

With just a simple brown eyeshadow bringing some shine to her eyes, Cat's look was all about her shining pink lip. The shade is deeper than the trending sheer rose-pink lip we saw all over the Emmy's red carpet this year and we love this more nighttime, party-esque take on the look.
