Television presenter Cat Deeley’s pleated skirt from Marks & Spencer was reported sold out within hours of her return to This Morning and an accompanying Instagram post, according to coverage by the Daily Mail.
Deeley, who returned to screens after a summer break, posted a round-up of outfits from her Instagram account that included a bronze metallic pleated skirt priced at £90 from Marks & Spencer, paired with a black halterneck blouse from Reiss and stylish boots. She captioned the post: "What a smashing week!! Here’s my @catscloset roundup! Have a fabulous weekend everyone X."
The Daily Mail report said the M&S skirt sold out immediately after Deeley’s appearance and Instagram post. The article also highlighted several similar high-street styles as alternatives for shoppers who missed the original item.
Retail sellouts tied to celebrity and presenter wardrobes are a familiar pattern across fashion and lifestyle coverage. Outfits seen on daytime television and shared on social media frequently produce quick spikes in demand, prompting retailers to restock or list comparable styles. Marks & Spencer has previously experienced high demand for items highlighted by public figures and programme presenters.
Representatives for Marks & Spencer and Deeley did not immediately provide additional comment beyond the public social media post and the product listing status reported in media coverage. The Reiss blouse Deeley wore was identified in the coverage but was not described as sold out.
The Daily Mail’s fashion round-up accompanying its story included a selection of alternative skirts from mainstream retailers aimed at offering similar looks at varying price points. The article noted that its commercial pages curate products and that purchases made via links may earn commission.
Deeley has maintained a public profile as a television presenter and style influence, regularly sharing outfit round-ups and brand attributions via her social channels. The rapid depletion of the M&S skirt underlines the continuing commercial impact of broadcast wardrobe choices when coupled with social media promotion.
