Ranvir Singh schools us on wearing polka dots in autumn with her tummy-friendly dress

It's true - we wore polka dots all spring and summer long, and Ranvir Singh's dress is giving us ideas to wear them through autumn and winter too.

Ranvir has a knack for finding the most flattering fits on the high street and her latest look, worn while presenting Good Morning Britain, is just that - flattering, from the high street, and inspiration for wearing polka dot dresses past summer.

Her most recent dress caught my eye, as yes it's polka dots but it's polka dots done for autumn, in the most flattering, rich burgundy shade. And true to Ranvir's style, it's a waist-cinching, tummy flattering midi that you can buy from M&S, John Lewis or NEXT.

The sumptuous, deep tone dress is one of those wear anyone dresses, that will be see you through days at the office, smart events or even the school run. With its incredibly flattering fit, it's modest while being a little sexy too - the v-neck features a flattering drape detail and the tie waist is great for accentuating your smallest part.

It falls into a swishy midi skirt, with long blouson sleeves. I love how Ranvir styled the dress, with coordinating burgundy heels.

This dress is such a staple that it can be styles in so many ways, hitting the mark between smart and casual. 

• Smart: Add heeled knee high boots in a deep, dark brown or black tights and heels for the office.
• Casual: Layer under a knitted tank or gilet, and wear with chunky ankle boots, sneakers or flat knee high boots.
• Party vibes: Embrace texture; wear with metallic heels, velvet accessories or add a bit of sparkle with embellished shoes, bags and jewellery.

The burgundy shade of the dress is reminiscent of the colour palette Meghan Markle wore last week, colour drenching in the colour of the season. You could follow suit by wearing Ranvir's dress under a burgundy coat, elevating the dress to royal status.

The dress is machine washable, and a 'chuck on' style dress - there's no fastenings as such, other than the tie for the waist.

Currently, it's available in all sizes 6 - 20 across the various stores, with some sold out in some sizes.

Ranvir's Pride of Britain 2026 outfit

It's not just her daytime presenting outfits that are stellar, Ranvir can also do glam like a pro, shown at the recent Pride of Britain Awards.

She looked incredible in the Club L London 'Deema' Dress, £98, a jersey high neck dress with long sheer sleeves, flattering ruching and a sexy long length. Black accessories and statement earrings made this one of my favourite looks of the night!
