We're just a few short hours away from all the celebrities walking the red carpet at the National Television Awards, and in spite of tube strikes and rainy weather in London, I have no doubt we're going to see some glorious gowns.
I'm most excited to see Cat Deeley, since her outfits on This Morning are always so good, plus her chic one shoulder dress was my favourite look from the 2024 NTAs.
Looking back at the three times she's attended the awards ceremony, I couldn't help noticing she always seems to wear red. It's a colour that definitely suits her, and tomato red is one of the colour trends 2025, so it wouldn't surprise me if she stuck to her red carpet uniform this evening. Perhaps it's a lucky colour for her? This Morning is nominated in the Daytime Programme category, after all!
In 2024, Cat opted for an elegant one-shoulder gown, which was a vintage Saint Laurent design. The asymmetric shape suited her down to the ground, and when styled with minimal jewellery and accessories, she looked simply stunning.
Copy Cat's signature red carpet style
This budget-friendly buy has got the asymmetric neckline and fitted silhouette of Cat's 2024 vintage Saint Laurent dress. It needs minimal styling, just swept-up hair and pared-back heels.
Dare I say it, I'm already thinking about Christmas party season. Nothing is more festive than red, and this cowl neck number will see you through any occasion in style, from cocktails with friends to your office party.
This tropical-inspired print will keep the summery vibes going long into autumn, and the chiffon fabric is really flattering.
If you're not familiar with it, Rat & Boa do beautiful occasion dresses that create an hourglass silhouette and make you look so tall. You can't argue with that, right? I wouldn't be surprised if we see this brand on tonight's red carpet.
Omnes is one of the best British clothing brands, so if it's not on your radar then it's time to read up. This dress looks much more expensive than it is.
This Rixo dress has been on my wishlist for a while now, and Cat's similar Dior dress from 2003 is pushing me to finally checkout on it. Especially now that it's reduced in the sale!
Cat will likely be reunited at the event with her former SMTV Live co-hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who are once again hoping to win the Best Presenter Award. It would be a 24th straight win for the pair, who will soon be hosting a new series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
Prior to last year, Cat last attended the NTAs over twenty years ago, in 2002 and 2003. She wore a red satin dress by Elspeth Gibson in 2002, and a bias cut floral print dress from the John Galliano for Dior Autumn/Winter 2003 collection on her second visit.
With its spaghetti straps and striking print, the Dior dress looks just as fresh now as it did a decade ago, and I would love to see her digging this out of the archives for this evening's ceremony.
