The celeb-approved dress has also been spotted on Cat Deeley in the mini style, and is proving to be a hit with shoppers

Linda Robson has returned to our screens this week following a relaxing sunny getaway with her daughter. As she joined the rest of the Loose Women on Wednesday episode, she not only brought the laughter, but also graced us with some spring style inspiration in the form of a warm weather-ready midi dress from the high street.

The 66-year-old looked amazing in the Black Floral Puff Sleeve Shift Midi Dress , from River Island – and not for the first time either, with the Birds of a Feather actress having worn the dress a few weeks back on the show, too. The £50 dress boasts a large patterned floral print with on trend puff sleeves, perfect for showing off her tan,

The v-neck dress is belted so can be worn loose, or tied for a more cinched look, with side slip pockets that make it as practical as it is pretty, with the skirt falling to a midi length which is perfect for her 5’4” frame.

The suits-all dress – also coming in black and pink variations – is available in sizes 6-18 in the main line, but also comes in plus size where it goes up to a size 26 . It’s perfect for pairing with sandals or trainers for a sunny beach day, but looks equally as lovely dressed up with some heels and a clutch bag.

And she’s not the only celeb to love the pattern on this dreamy dress. Cat Deeley recently presented an episode of This Morning wearing its mini counterpart, which is the ultimate choice for showing off a little bit of leg.

The River Island Black Floral Puff Sleeve Swing Mini Dress has all the same design features as the midi, looking identical from the waist up. All that’s different is the shorter hemline, and a £5 price difference, coming in at £45.

The 47-year-old wore the mini dress with her own vintage Balmain boots to give it a bit of a 70s flair, but it would look just as smart with coloured heels and a matching bag for an evening event, or with white trainers and a raffia tote for a more laid back look.

Linda styled her dress with a pair of flats, with her hair down and makeup looking fresh. For this week’s episode, she was styled by Gemma and Bertie, also known as the Mother Shoppers, who always seem to nail her style, leaning into voluminous silhouettes. Some of our favourites in recent weeks include this Bella Pink Textured Midi Dress from Phase Eight, and this Cos Oversized Grandad-Collar Shirt Dress.
