Cat Deeley - So She Thinks She Can Dress...

   Cat Deeley, host of the American show So You Think You Can Dance, was just nominated for an Emmy  in the Outstanding Host catergory. Indeed not only does Miss Deeley light up the show thanks to her british accent and her beautiful smile, but she also always wears great outfits. 5 ft 9, ex-mannequin, she nonetheless has no cause to be envious of the new designers’ muses. Twice a week, she puts on magnificent dresses she chooses herself according to her inspiration (most of the time a book or a movie she liked) as well as a pair of high heels in order to host the show. Her blond hair that earned her to be the face of Panthen in the UK, are always done with care. That is why, twice a week, thousands of fashionistas get excited on hearing the voice off announcing “Now welcome your host, Cat Deeley !”.

This post will then be the occasion to decode Miss Deeley’s style through the different outfits she wore for the Season 8's So You Think You Can Dance primes that she presented.

This year for the eighth season of the show, two trends seem to come out of the outfits selected by Cat Deeley and her Glamour Squad. First, the spring trend, which is very well illustrated by the first dress, stands out. 

It is a strapless vintage dress of a lemon yellow color on which is superimposed a lace top with short sleeves. The fact that it is knee-length allows the outfit to be more mature. The shoes, signed Signo Rossi, are open-toes and golden. This outfit then seems to be perfect for the first days of spring.

The second dress couldn’t fit more in the spring trend. It looks like it was splash-painted in order to depict a flower arrangement. We can notice the pockets which give to the dress a casual touch as well as the boho accessories. Special mention should be made of the white shoes coming to the ankle with two buckles.

Finally, the last dress of the spring trend is signed Tom Ford. Her hair was brought back in order not to overload the outfit and to show a stand-up collar and motives of branches and buds; the whole reminding us of the Japanese cherry blossoms.

                                                                                                                      

The second trend is more composite but gathers more shiny outfits that we would more attribute to the host of an american tv show live from L.A. and aired on prime time.

One good example is the Elie Tahari dress cinched at the waist with a studded belt worn with spiked black shoes. Her hair has the right amount of volume for a look that almost seems like that of a warrior. 

  

More glamorous is the anthracite dress with silver embroidery. Cat’s hair is tucked to create a faux bob and she wears Dior earrings for a Marion Cotillard look, Cat Deeley’s inspiration.

Because as I have said before, she does not have a stylist but she picks her own outfits herself. We can then salute her effort to keep her own style.

So yes, Miss Deeley can definitely dress !
