Holly Willoughby captivated fans in a plunging black dress as she graced the red carpet for the premiere of Better Man, a semi-biographical film about the life and career of Robbie Williams.
The former This Morning presenter, who stepped away from her ITV role in October 2023, made a return to the spotlight on Wednesday night.
Looking elegant as ever, Holly oozes Bond girl glamour in a waist-sculpting midnight black dress featuring a plunging sweetheart neckline and glittering rhinestone details.

We’ve tried to track down Holly’s exact dress but we’ve found an amazing lookalike at Karen Millen that’s in the Black Friday sale, or if you’re looking for a super affordable version, this gown from Quiz is a real steal.

The Dancing on Ice presenter added: “Tonight I went to see the Better Man movie with the BEST of women… love you @nicoleappleton [heart emoji] What an incredible film… so moving.”

It’s no doubt been a year of mixed emotions for This Morning’s former golden girl, who stepped away from the programme after 14 years last year shortly after news of her co-host Phillip Schofield’s “unwise, but not illegal” affair with a younger colleague came to light.
Holly took a three-month Instagram hiatus earlier this year, only emerging in the spotlight for the first time in September at the National Television Awards. As the award-winning presenter stepped out onto the stage in a silhouette-sculpting rhinestone gown by Kolchagov Barba, the audience showed their support for the star following her difficult year.

Josie Gibson, who joined the This Morning stars at London’s O2, told The Sun: “We absolutely adore Holly and she’s one of the greats, she’s one of the greatest broadcasters of all time.
“She makes it look so seamless and she’s a gorgeous person and she’s amazing, we miss her terribly.”
