How do you manage to look fabulous when your alarm goes off at 4.30am? And which celebrity’s wardrobe would you raid if you had the chance?
This week on Who Are You (Wearing?), Alice is joined by Robyn Richford, Capital Breakfast presenter, for a proper girlie chat packed with fashion inspiration, showbiz sparkle and some very relatable style moments.
Robyn might be up before the sun to get on air, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing the glam. She chats about finding her own signature style as a presenter, the realities of red-carpet dressing, and why renting a look or finding a cheeky bargain on Vinted can be just as satisfying as buying something new.
The pair swap wedding dress ideas (why the need for two dresses though?!), revisit Robyn’s favourite ever outfit from the Capital Summertime Ball, and reveal the celebrity wardrobes they’d steal in a heartbeat. There’s also one surprising name who managed to leave Robyn starstruck and we need to know who it is!
In the wide-ranging chat into Robyn's journey to becoming a top breakfast radio presenter, she reflects on her early days in children’s television and how her career has influenced her evolving sense of style. Meanwhile, Alice and Robyn discover a shared nostalgia for Jack Wills tartan dresses, taking them straight back to their time in London and why Scottish identity hits harder away from home.
From dream wedding dresses to red-carpet looks and the ultimate fashion purchase with 'big girl money', this is a joyful conversation about personal style, confidence and having fun with what you wear.
