Button up and look chic in Nigella's blouse by Chloé

She’s renowned for her culinary skills, but Nigella Lawson cooked up a sartorial treat at the Stylist Live event in London today.

The elegant nude-pink blouse has the iconic brand’s trademark sense of feminine bohemia. Crafted from silk crepe de Chine and detailed with a Peter Pan collar, softly curved hem and covered-button fastenings for a '70s feel.

It’ll look amazing with wide-leg trousers, skinny jeans or miniskirts depending on the occasion –- you simply can’t go wrong with it!
