HOLLY WILLOUGHBY'S INSTAGRAM STYLE DIARY
Holly is often praised for her dress sense, which typically sees her wear a number of high street pieces from brands such as Zara, H&M and Marks and Spencer. The popular television presenter also documents many of her outfits on Instagram to show fans how they can recreate her look.
Holly's style is praised for being relatable
Emma Scott, co-founder of Styledlike.com, said that this makes her a lot more relatable than other celebrities.
"When conducting this survey we really were expecting Kate to come out on top, so it was quite refreshing to see Holly leading the way. Holly's style is universally appealing, with most age groups and regions calling her out as one of their favourites," Emma commented.
The Duchess of Cambridge came a close second in the poll
"A contributing factor to this is most definitely the fact that her wardrobe is both relatable and affordable. She tends to opt for high street brands such as River Island and New Look, whereas a lot of other celebrities prefer higher end or designer labels."
She concluded: "Holly also wears outfits that most people would happily wear to work or to relax in at the weekend. She really is an all-rounder."
