Holly Willoughby stuns in tweed at book event as Phillip Schofield shows support

Holly Willoughby showed off her incredible sense of style once again as she hosted an intimate evening for the launch of her new book Reflections on Tuesday 2 November.

The 40 year old, who was recently left shocked by chef Gino D’Acampo’s rude comment about her privates, was photographed making her way on stage at London’s Barbican as an audience of fans looked on in awe.

This Morning host Holly looked stunning in a purple calf-length tweed dress that featured a plunging neckline and a wide white collar with black button details.

She teamed the outfit with a pair of black high-heeled pointed shoes with a strap across the front.

Holly styled her short bob straight down and wore a subtle amount of make up, including mascara and a mauve-coloured lipstick.

Keeping the accessories to a minimum, the star donned a pair of hoop earrings and her wedding ring for the occasion.

The ITV star, who recently said she was fat-shamed while modelling at the age of 17, walked across the stage to sit across fellow presenter Christine Lampard, 42, to speak on all things her new book.

Sitting across from the raven-haired beauty, Holly spoke on treating herself with kindness, issues with body-image, burnout and control as well as her journey to reclaim her sexuality.

Her best friend and co-host Phillip Schofield, 59, couldn’t help but celebrate her achievement as he took to his Instagram stories to post a short video.

The clip saw an auditorium with no empty seats and people had a copy of her book in front of them as they listened to her inspiring words.

Over this, he wrote: “Supporting my bestie @hollywilloughby #reflections #proud”.

Phillip attended the event with an unnamed guest as they sat smiling in the middle of the crowd. Proudly watching his friend on stage, he wore a white shirt under a navy jumper and a matching velvet jacket.

At the end of the night, Holly posted a snap of herself in the tweed outfit and told her 7.4 million followers: “Well that was a wonderful night… thank you to everyone who came down to the @barbicancentre tonight…
