Yesterday we bought you some of the star style from Wimbledon, which included Shakira and Jenny Frost. However, sometimes pictures aren’t enough to really get a true concept of star style so we decided to go that step further and dig out an exclusive video featuring the likes of Trinny Woodall, Little Boots and Jameela Jamil all talking about what they wore to the matches in the Evian VIP suite.
Enjoy ladies, and don’t say we don’t ever do anything for you.
Military is a trend that many women fear. It’s heavy looking, difficult to match up, and evokes memories of the 80s combat trousers we once used to wear (ours were elasticated, but to be fair we were only 9).
There’s been a few times since then that the military look has tried to make a comeback into the mainstream fashion world, think way back in the 90s when All Saints wore nothing but military pants, but it’s not really stood out as a “must-have” for a while.
Until now that is. The trend has fought back from all the negatives and was a main contender at the Balmain SS2010 show, which accentuated the look with brass buttons, peep toes lace-up boots and fitted military jackets. Skinny military style trousers replaced those baggy cargo styles and have become hugely popular. So much so that they sold out within days, and highstreet alternatives had the same success. Jean Paul Gaultier also gave a nod to the trend in his collection.
As expected, these nods have caused the highstreet to go into overdrive. Visit any store and you’ll find blazers with military style brass buttons, khaki tops and trousers, utility style dresses (we heart) and peep toe shoes.
We’ve put together our top five military must-haves for this season. And look out tomorrow for our skinny military trouser special.
We know we’re ultimately a fashion and celebrity site but when there’s an opportunity to give a nod to some hot men, we can be swayed to go a little bit off topic. And this is one of those occasions.
With Twilight Eclipse looming there isn’t much longer to wait until we get to see Robert Pattinson (aka Edward) and Taylor Lautner (aka Jacob) but we thought we’d speed it up a bit, under the guise of fashion of course. We’ve decided to put together a gallery of the two men and pit them off against each other in a fashion face off and we thought we’d give you a quick rundown of their fashions to help you out.
In TwilightR-Patz is dressed in casual, sensible attire consisting of jeans, with the odd shirt thrown in to smarten him up. However when he’s on the red carpet Rob’s style is eccentric to say the least. Instead of a standard suit, he’ll opt for unusual colours, take for example the maroon Gucci suit he wore at the LA premier of Twilight Eclipse, while Taylor went for a smart tailored suit. Lautner again wore a similar style for a screening of the film at the Crosby theatre last week. However, he looked less smart next to R-Patz when the two took the stage for the Live at Jimmy Kernall show. While Rob opted for a black suit with an open neck shirt, Taylor opted for jeans and a checked shirt underneath a v-neck top.
However, it’s clear that Taylor wins when it comes to the casual off duty look opting for smart v-necks and trousers while R-Patz chooses to dress down entirely in jeans and a baseball cap.

We haven’t had a spotted in London round up this week because we’ve been so caught up in the Glastonbury, Harry Potter and Twilight frenzy.
However, although we’ve been preoccupied with these events, celebrity life has continued. Fresh from her stint at Glastonbury over the weekend, Sienna Miller stepped out with Jude Law to continue the drinking and it seems she got the munchies, after she was spotted looking a little bit worse for wear outside a kebab shop later that night. Despite that, we can’t fault her outfit, which consisted of beige high waisted shorts, a crop tee and gorgeous white high Gladiator heels.
Another celebrity, who also looked surprisingly well dressed was Katie Price, aka Jordan, who for once looked great when she stepped out in a stunning pink maxi dress to celebrate her hen night at the Mayfair Hotel last night.
And of course, there were also a few events for the stars to grace. Jameela Jamil stepped out in a cute LBD with a matching hat and killer heels for the Elizabeth Arden 100 party where she was joined by Amber Le Bon who opted for a tribal print maxi dress.
However, Holly Valance played it safe with a black asymmetric frock.
View our gallery for all the London celebrity style over the past few days.
It’s a fight between Twilight and Harry Potter as the first trailer of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows was released today. And the media has gone crazy. Some have described it as unsuitable for children given the dark content (although those who read the books will know they get darker and that the films reflect this).
And another thing that’s changed as the films have gone on is of course Emma Watson who plays Hermione Granger. The actress has come a long way from her bushy haired days in the first two films and her off screen red carpet style, turning into a style starlet who is a favourite with Chanel and of course Burberry, which she has modelled for.
We take a look at her looks right from Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets right through to sneak previews of the upcoming Deathly Hallows Film. And look out later on this week for an Emma Watson Get the Look Gallery.
Wimbledon is well and truly in full swing and we’ve been watching with baited breath as the exciting games continue.
Also keeping close watch are a range of celebrities who have sat at the game or benefited from the pre Wimbledon parties.
Looking fresh faced and casual in jeans and a tee Shakira hit the stands to watch the game yesterday while other’s partied the night away at the Slazenger Wimbledon Party held at Movida nightclub.
Snog, Marry, Avoid presenter and ex Atomic Kitten Jenny Frost was just one of these, turning up to the event in a cute white top and matching tennis style skirt.
She was followed by Kirsty Gallacher, who opted for an on-trend grey jumpsuit and Chloe Madely who played it casual in shorts and a cool white vest top. See the stars in our gallery below.
Bodysuits have been lurking around for a good few months as trends begin to emulate the 80s and all the great bits of style the era symbolised.
They’ve been shown on every spring/summer 2010 catwalk show imaginable from Burberry to Vivienne Westwood and also sported on dozens of celebs including Lady Gaga (although we don’t recommend this style as a daytime look), Cheryl Cole and Miley Cyrus.
Now we’re not recommending you walk around in just one of these, unless of course you’re feeling daring, instead the best way to wear a bodysuit is tucked into jeans, shorts, or a short floral skirt for that perfect summer look. We take a look at the best five out there on the highstreet.
Kristen’s style and hair have become huge topics in the fashion world and last night the starlet really got everyone talking.
The actress who plays Bella in the Twilight Saga turned up on the New York set of the Late Show with David Letterman with a mane of ginger hair, which looked suspiciously shorter than her previously brunette locks.
She also once again showed off her fierce fashion style with a little black sleeved frock and skyscraper heels before quickly changing into another black frock with statement shoulders and PVC detailing for a screening of the upcoming Eclipse film at the Crosby Hotel in New York.
According to sources the new look is for her upcoming role in the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s ‘On the Road,’ but what do you think of her new barnet?
Take a look at the photos below and let us know by voting below.
Taylor Momsen is best known as Gossip Girl’s Jenny Humphrey. However, her real-life style couldn’t be any more different from the preppy pleated skirts and headbands she wears while she’s in character.
Off screen the starlet, and now rock band member, ditches the cardi’s and sensible New York look for ripped jeans, studded belts and her statement stockings and suspender belts as well as mini’s, teeny tiny black dresses, biker jackets and heavy jewellery.
Although some magazines have called her normal style “tragic” we tend to disagree here. Yes her skirts are short and the stockings may not be for everyone, but it’s a look Taylor carries off well. We’ve therefore decided to dedicate a “Get the Look” gallery to the actress giving you highstreet options of her often expensive outfits.
Team up the clothes with heavy eye make-up and bright red lipstick for that all important Taylor look.
Alexa Chung has moved on from the model and T4 presenter she once was, becoming a fully fledged style icon and trend setter. She’s become a popular face at fashion events, most notably Chanel, which she also chooses to wear on a regular basis, and she’s also not afraid to experiment.
At the Chanel SS2010 show in March this year Alexa opted for clogs, which instantly hit the highstreet after fashionistas fell in love with the footwear. She also braved the double denim look showing us how easy it is to follow the trend without looking like you’re stuck in the 80s.
And it doesn’t end there. Back in April eBay said it saw a rise in all Alexa’s fashion trends after the March edition of Vogue, ran a piece listing the starlet’s style. Dungarees, which Alexa wore with just a necklace, saw sales increase by 75 per cent in the days after the issue went on sale – and denim shorts, of which Alexa admitted she owned 10 pairs, saw sales jump 277 per cent on the auction site almost overnight.
Clogs – similar to the Chanel ones Alexa wore saw a similar sales hike, by just under 200 per cent, according to eBay. Showing how much we love her style.
But Alexa’s style is often born out of her eccentric sense and she often shuns “popular” styles for her trends. In the past this has included Tux’s and crochet frocks.
View our gallery below for all Alexa’s fashion styles and tell us what you think of her trends.
It’s summer sale time and the hightstreet is buzzing with bargains from bikinis to beautiful dresses. However, we know many of you won’t have time to step out of the office to take advantage of these, or won’t have the inclination to elbow through the crowds and fight that bargain hunter for that last size 10 (we’ve all done it).
Thankfully the internet has put paid to these problems and means you can shop from your desk (at lunchtime of course), at night or even on the train if you have an internet mobile handy.
And to help you out further we’ve put together our top five bargain fashion buys from bikinis to sunglasses to little summer dresses.
Take a look at our gallery and get shopping happy fast. We have a feeling these bargains won’t be hanging around for long.
While festival goers danced the weekend away at Glastonbury the stars we’re also out in force enjoying the bands and showing off their festival fashion. And it seems denim shorts were the trend of the day. Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Emma Watson and Sienna Miller all went for these denim lovelies teaming them up with shirts, ankle boots, and in Sienna’s case an on-trend Trilby hat.
An off duty Kate Nash and Channel 4 presenter Jameela Jamil took the short trend that step further opting for high waisted versions of these. Kate teamed hers up with a loud top, while Jameela went for a sleek black top and sun hat.
On-stage Florence Welch opted for a white leotard with one shoulder detail before changing into a flowing boho style frock to enjoy the rest of the day, while Shakira went for her statement casual look, opting for jeans and a plain top for her stage performance.
Billie Piper was also spotted in a tribal style maxi dress, while Pixie opted for a short black number, which she teamed up with knee high socks.
Emma Watson and Pixie Geldof joined Glasto Festival goers today and also gave them a run for their fashion style (although we would expect them to considering the amount of money they have).
Emma looked casually glam in denim shorts and a corset brocade top. She finished of the look with over the knee boots. Pixie on the other hand opted for tiny black hotpants, sneakers and to the knee black socks. She completed the look with a cardigan complete with a train.
But it wasn’t just the stars that looked good. Like yesterday, revellers showed off their looks, which included flip-flops, denim shorts and nautical stripes, while others went for wellies (of course) and boho style tunics. We’ll be bringing you all the Glasto news on Monday with galleries of the acts and of course the trends. And don’t forget to send us your Glastonbury fashion photos for inclusion in a gallery.
Glastonbury ticket holders who still had to go into work today will be counting to Friday evening, where many will get ready to head to the festival. However, like with any mini break there’s always those last minute bits that need buying.
This could be anything from dry shampoo or face wipes to bigger things such as a waterproof coat or a straw hat, which has already been making trend waves at this year’s festival (see our gallery here for Glasto pics).
And then there’s the all important bag to consider too. So we’ve decided to put together a last minute Glastonbury must-have accessory gallery for those still panicking about this or for those who are thinking in advance for their time at V Festival, Creamfields or the other hundreds of festivals that are going on this summer.
With Twilight mania hitting we thought we’d strike up a little bit of healthy fashion competition between some of the co-stars. We’ve already given you a fashion face-off between Ashley Greene and Kristen Stewart so today we decided it was the turn of Dakota Fanning to be pitched against the latter.
Kristen and Dakota are best friends off-stage and as well as Twilight both starred in The Runaways. And it seems being close friends has rubbed off on their style too, with both ladies opting for very similar premier dresses. At last night’s Twilight Eclipse premier both went for designer Elie Saab.
Kristen opted for a daring white backless number, while Dakota played it safer with a cute beige feathered piece. Both ladies also went for short frocks with sheer sleeve details at the The Runaways’ premier at the Cinerama Dome Arclight Theaters in Hollywood.
However, Dakota opted, for what seems to be her trademark puffball frock while Kristen went for a bodycon frock. It also seems Dakota likes to play it alot safer than Kristen opting for neutral colours such as beige and silver, in flowing styles, while Kristen goes for bodycon styles by Herve Leger, backless numbers and bright colours.
However, off the red carpet it’s a different story. While Dakota likes to experiment with the latest trends such as girly pink shorts, skinny jeans and baggy tops, Kristen plays it alot safer. She’s often snapped in her Converse trainers, casual skinny jeans and a grungy top and opts for minimal make-up.
As a result we’re a little bit on the fence as to who should win our fashion face-off so we’ve decided to open up the floor to you. View the gallery below and then vote to let us know who should win the Friday fashion award.
