Holly Willoughby looked absolutely stunning as she attended her sister Kelly's husband David Foster's lavish Studio 54 themed birthday bash on Sunday. The television personality, 45, embodied the disco diva spirit alongside her lookalike mother Linda, 78, and sister Kelly, 47, while celebrating David turning 50.
Holly headed to Sussex, where she showcased a very leggy appearance in a pink feathered mini dress, adding extra height with black platform shoes. The star styled her long blonde locks into loose waves and embraced the party mood with heart-shaped sunglasses and glittery face paint.
Mother Linda looked equally glamorous in a red feathered mini dress, while sister Kelly caught the eye in silver sequins. Holly took to Instagram with a series of snaps from the sun-soaked garden party, also sharing a glimpse of her father Brian's moustache, which he grew especially for the occasion.
She captioned the post: 'Last night Studio 54 came to Sussex as we celebrated my brother-in-law turning 50! Happy birthday Dave we love you! Best dressed of the night goes to my ever beautiful Mamma and bonus prize for Dad who grew back his legendary Tash for one night only!' She added, '@ladywilloughby … seriously think you need to consider a fringe, beauty!!! What a party, surrounded by friends and family… just the best.'
Holly's post comes after her new online show was revealed as she prepares to tackle the digital industry after leaving terrestrial ITV. The Daily Mail's Katie Hind previously reported that the broadcaster, 45, would produce and present her new project with the help of husband Dan Baldwin's company, which is behind Gladiators and Michael McIntyre's Big Show.
According to reports, the show will be called Together, and in her application to the Intellectual Property Office, Holly revealed the series would also sell clothes, echoing This Morning's magazine-style format, which she presented for 16 years. Holly has previously posted fashion and cookery videos to her Instagram account, seemingly preparing for her upcoming series.
An expert said: 'The eclectic mix of subjects very much chimes with this overarching theme of togetherness which she's clearly trying to embrace. And of course the title is bound to heighten the sense that viewers are being reunited with Holly after a lengthy absence.'
They told The Sun: 'She was in our living rooms almost constantly for 16 years.' Daily Mail has contacted Holly's representatives for comment.
'Holly has done television for 25 years and now she wants to make her own thing,' a friend of the star shared with the Daily Mail. 'And now daytime television is very much on the slide and it's time for something new. She is excited, it is something so new and innovative, hopefully it will work.'
'The television landscape has changed so much, people are consuming content on TikTok and other digital platforms. Holly has seen an opportunity now to start something new which has a future, unlike the kind of stuff she has done in the past.'
Such is Holly's determination to start afresh that she turned down the chance of hosting ITV's You Bet! for a third time, having hosted two specials with Stephen Mulhern in 2024. The series has since been axed. You Bet! was one of three projects Holly had worked on since leaving This Morning in October 2023 following her torment at the hands of former security guard Gavin Plumb, who was last summer found guilty of a plot to kidnap, rape and murder her.
The sickening crime came just months after she fell out with co-presenter and friend Phillip Schofield. As well as her work on You Bet!, Holly had hosted Dancing On Ice, which as of last year is 'rested' with no plans for a future series. She also presented Bear Hunt, which was cancelled by Netflix after just one season.
The source explained: 'While she still has a good relationship with ITV, she has walked away from shows there and she has no intention right now to go back. She was offered the chance to host You Bet but she declined and there have been other opportunities too: She could have taken them and carried on where she left off when she had that awful time with Gavin Plumb. But Holly has an idea and she knows if she doesn't do it now, she will never know if it will work. Of course it is a risk, but she wanted a change. Not only will she be in front of a camera but she will be in charge behind it, too, and that is very exciting.'
