Viewers of ITV’s This Morning have praised Holly Willoughby‘s “perfect” tribute to royal guest the Duchess of Cambridge.

Kate appeared on the show on Thursday (May 7) and viewers have speculated that she may have inspired the host’s choice of outfit.

The duchess was interviewed via video link by Holly and her co-host Phillip Schofield.

Kate is a huge fan of luxury fashion chain LK Bennett and viewers said it was “perfect” that Holly chose a dress designed by the brand for the occasion.

“I love that you are wearing LK Bennett when you have the beautiful duchess on today,” said one viewer.

“Perfect touch,” they added.

Indeed, Kate has often been seen in the London-based designer.

She’s a huge fan of its dresses, coats and clutch bags.

Not to mention shoes as it’s where Kate gets her famous wedges and nude platform courts.

“Dress goals,” said one Holly fan as the presenter uploaded her daily #HWstyle shot.
