Holly Willoughby

She’s back! After months of lying low amid her stalker ordeal, Holly Willoughby officially made her return to public-facing life at the NTAs. 

Opting for a slinky metallic dress with a corseted bodice, crystal-embellished fabric and a subtle side split, Holly kept things simple for her big comeback. She enhanced her pretty features with a smoky eye and a pale pink lip and wore her blonde bob in tousled waves.
