Our woman&home Digital Editor Kerrie Hughes says, ''Katie Holmes is always a source of style inspiration for me. I prioritise comfort in what I wear, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to feel and look good too. Katie’s wardrobe often pulls all of these things together, seemingly so effortlessly. This navy dress is a prime example, exquisitely elegant and chic, but super comfortable too. And the fact that it’s a high street buy, and not a designer price tag that puts the look out of the reach of many (me included), makes it all the better.''.
