BBC's Sophie Raworth's dresses - and outfits - seriously impress me. The BBC newsreader is always well dressed, whether she's reading the news, attending an event or off-duty. The 57-year-old broadcaster knows the value of a well-fitting, flattering dress, and she's not afraid to experiment with colour, patterns or monochrome either. She seems to strike the balance between formal and fashion, always wearing an event appropriate outfit without looking too dressed up or too casual. In other words, Sophie Raworth's fashion is one to watch.
- We delve into the fashion of BBC's Sophie Raworth.
- The BBC broadcaster owns a range of stunning floral dresses and block colour midis.
- Sophie's dresses are often flattering picks from ME+EM, a label loved by royals and celebrities.
Case in point? The dresses she wore to this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Stepping out at the preview day of the annual flower show, the TV personality took to her presenting duties in not just one, but three amazingly flattering dresses. All heatwave friendly but spot on for the occasion, Sophie's dresses turned heads for all the right reasons.
First to catch my eye was Sophie's ME+EM dress, a peach and floral midi that is sweet without being saccharine.

According to the brand's website, it's created from an intelligently designed fabric that doesn't crease, which is music to a linen lover's ears as it's prone to creasing. It also has a belt, which helps to make the midi's silhouette even more flattering.
Sophie surprised by choosing another stunning dress, this time paisley in pattern - ideal for those who like a print, but aren't keen on florals.

Made from cheesecloth, the detailing and print make it smarter than your classic cheesecloth dress but it's super summery and casual if you want it to be too. I love the slightly longer length puffed sleeves, and the knot detail at the front is an updated version of a wrap. It's nipped in at the waist and flares slightly, to really accentuate your figure.
Sophie added a pair of white trainers to keep the look laidback, a styling trick that is worth noting for when you want to wear your more occasion wear dress in more chilled settings. Alternatively, add heels (I'd go for tan) and a cream or white blazer.
Another from ME+EM was the Floral Garden Print Midi Dress that really cemented my love of Sophie's fashion, as it is such a pretty, feminine but flattering dress. Covered in a botanical print, the cream hue gives it a softer feel and the ruffle trim and short puffed sleeves really elevated it.

ME+EM is a firm favourite of the famous newsreader for other events, as she turns to the brand for various event dressing from covering VE Day on the BBC to red carpet moments. This is also a brand loved by the royals including the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh.
