Alison Hammond’s pink dress is £68 from Next

From Bake Off to This Morning, Alison Hammond has become a familiar face in so many living rooms, and wherever she appears, she brings a sense of fun – especially when it comes to her wardrobe. She often opts for bright colours and bold prints that stand out from the crowd. So it’s no surprise that her latest outfit had fans stopping mid-scroll.

On Instagram, her stylist, Rachael Hughes, shared a round-up of Alison’s recent looks. Among them was a playful pink leopard print dress that instantly caught people’s attention. The comments quickly filled up with questions. One fan asked: “I would love to know where the pink animal print dress is from?”

Another wrote: “Why do they no longer post Allison’s outfits on the This Morning app? Love her dress today.”

Others described her looks as “gorgeous” and “absolutely stunning”.

So, we went looking for the dress, and the good news is, the search didn’t take long. Not only did we find Alison’s exact dress, but we also tracked down the pale pink shoes she styled it with. Even better, both pieces come from a high street favourite, and neither comes with a jaw-dropping price tag.

The dress in question is the Love & Roses Pink Animal Blur Contrast Collar Short Sleeve Midi Dress, priced at £68. It’s one of those pieces that feels instantly wearable yet still has a bit of something special about it. The silhouette does most of the work: puff sleeves, a fitted midsection that draws you in at the waist, and an A-line skirt that falls to a midi length at the calves.

Then there are the details that give it personality. A black contracting collar frames the neckline, which dips into a V-shape with buttons you can adjust depending on your preference. Alison chose to fasten hers right up, leaving just two buttons undone, while the Next model shows how leaving a few more open creates a more relaxed feel. The puff sleeves have a slight ruched look, and the print itself puts a twist on the classic leopard – more of an abstract blur, with hints of blue and peach running through the pink. It gives the whole dress a fresh, slightly unexpected look that feels just right for spring and summer.

If there’s a small catch, it’s that the fabric is polyester, but that does make it a practical choice that’s easy to care for and durable enough to wear.

Sizing runs from eight to 20, with both petite and regular lengths available. At the moment, the petite option is fully stocked, but the regular fit is already selling out. If you’ve got your eye on it and spot your size, it might be worth moving quickly.

What makes the dress such a good find is its versatility. You could easily dress it up with heels and a clutch for weddings or race days, or keep things more relaxed – exactly how Alison wore it – with flats.

And speaking of shoes, we found Alison’s exact pair, and the price is great. Alison’s pale pink loafers are also from Next, and they’re already proving popular, with the brand warning that stock is running low in several sizes.

They’re a soft pastel pink that leans into this season’s colour palette, with a contrasting black rubber sole, and classic brogue detailing that gives them a slightly more formal look. They’re easy to slip on, comfortable enough for a full day out – whether that’s walking around the city or heading into the office – and simple enough to dress up or down, especially if heels aren’t your thing. Next also says they feature comfort padding.

And then there’s the price: just £35

Shoppers seem to agree they’re a solid buy, with an overall 4.1-star rating on the Next website. One customer said: “I bought them a few weeks ago and am super happy with the purchase. Quality of shoes is great and they are very comfortable!”

Another added that the shoes are “perfect and so comfy”.

That said, they’re not a perfect fit for everyone. One shopper shared: “Sadly, had to return these. They are lovely looking loafers, But like many others, I found the sizing way off. The 5 wide was too tight. I returned them and got the 6 wide, which was too loose. The 5.5 was unavailable.”
