Vanessa Feltz looked stunning in River Island’s floral maxi dress ahead of winning an award at the National Reality Television Awards, and we found it for half price
This year’s National Reality Television Awards have kicked off, and one of the first winners of the night was Vanessa Feltz, who picked up the award for Best Talk Show for her show Vanessa. Although she was seen celebrating in a stunning glittering gown at the awards ceremony, there’s another of Vanessa’s dresses that have caught our eye recently, as she hosted her chat show in a stunning floral maxi dress.
Vanessa’s exact dress hails from high street fave River Island, and although it’s currently sold out online (except for a size 10 in the petite length version), we did manage to track it down in all sizes… and for half the price. Hidden away on Secret Sales, the River Island Purple Floral Ruffle Maxi Dress has been slashed from £85 to £42.50, and unlike everywhere else, it’s still available in all sizes from a 6 to an 18.

The dress was a limited edition design, so it’s no surprise that it’s sold out already. However if you’re quick to head over to Secret Sales, you’ll still be able to grab yourself a bargain.
Vanessa’s floral maxi dress would make the perfect choice if you’re a guest at an upcoming summer wedding and can’t quite decide what to wear. It has a high-low style hemline, with a mini length that’s carefully hidden by multiple trailing ruffles to keep it modest and appropriate for more formal settings.
The pink and purple print is perfect for bringing that summery vibe, and it has a sleeveless design that’ll keep you cool and comfortable, Meanwhile the higher neckline means there’s not too much skin on show if you prefer to stay a little covered up.
The shift-style silhouette of the River Island Maxi Dress is also perfect for keeping you comfortable without it feeling too clingy, with chiffon-style material that not only keeps you cool in the heat, but gives you plenty of movement.
If you’re looking for a more streamlined silhouette, Topshop’s Ruffle Cami Slip Maxi Dress In Pink Based Floral (£72) has a more figure-hugging slip dress shape, but keeps some ruffle details similar to Vanessa’s River Island dress. The ruffles have been carefully placed to create a flattering illusion of curves, with a subtle floral print for that summer feeling.
You can streamline your look even more with Mango’s Floral Dress With Ruffle Detail, which is also on sale down from £89.99 to £49.99. It features a softer watercolour floral print, with a ribbon detail around the waist and fluttery ruffles on the shoulders.
However if you’ve been inspired by Vanessa’s dress, you can nab yourself the River Island Purple Floral Ruffle Maxi Dress at Secret Sales now.
