The Phase Eight frock is a gorgeous piece for summer, designed for all-day comfort in this year’s most popular colour
If there’s one thing we know for certain, it’s that Christine Lampard’s outfits never fail to leave us swooning. And her latest Loose Women outfit is no exception, with the presenter looking summer-ready in the ‘it-colour’ of the season.
Brightening up our screens on Monday morning, the brunette beauty anchored the lunchtime show in a Phase Eight frock – a brand popular with presenters like Lorraine Kelly and Susanna Reid. The 46-year-old wore the Cady Buttermilk dress in a trending, soft pale yellow hue, which is undeniably one of the most popular shades on the high street this summer.
The dress comes in at £119 and is perfect not just for occasions like graduations, weddings or the races, but also for holidays and weekends, too. It’s ideal for the warm weather, made from 100% cotton for a light and airy feel, while the sleeveless design makes it breathable to prevent overheating.

Made from a lightweight seersucker fabric, it requires little ironing, making it a great pick for the suitcase. And the shirred bodice and waist means it hugs the figure, but remains comfortable all day thanks to its stretchy nature.
The dress comes in sizes 6 to 20 and looks to be selling quickly – no doubt that will be accelerated by Christine’s endorsement of the summery number. The only thing we think it’s missing is some side seam pockets, which would have been the icing on the cake.
Elsewhere Nobody’s Child’s Butter Yellow Colorado Midi Dress comes in at £65. It has a soft, fitted top and flows to a light, airy skirt, complete with bra-friendly straps and side pockets. Alternatively, this ASOS DESIGN summer maxi dress with full skirt in lemon comes in at £28. Dropped waists are also trending this summer, and this purse-friendly pick ticks several style boxes for summer.
For another celebrity favourite, though, last week Cat Deeley wore Boden’s Halter Linen Dress, which comes in at £146. Made in an 80% breathable linen fabric with a hint of recycled cotton, it’s finished with a smocked back panel for a little extra give.
And the Phase Eight dress isn’t the only of Christine’s recent looks we’ve been coveting. Last week, she wore the Pleated Corset Sleeveless Dress from Michelle Keegan’s Very collection, which is currently on sale down from £70 to £56 saving £14. The structured shape and soft white colour were a great nod to the Wimbledon whites trend that’s still dominating following the major tournament.
But for her recent Phase Eight dress in the season’s trending hue, it’s available in most sizes here.
