Spotted in London

Spotted: Kelly Brook, Eva Herzigova and Rochelle Wiseman

By Andrea Petrou on June 21st, 2010

This weekend celebrities were once again out in force partying the night away and having dinner in A-list top-spots.

Following rumours of her split with rugby player Danny Cipriani, Kelly Brook took to the town in a long sleeved black body-con frock. She was spotted leaving the Cipriani restaurant in Mayfair with a male companion. The pair headed off in a taxi together laughing and joking and Kelly seemed in very good spirits.

Emma Bunton also opted for dinner choosing new A-list haunt Zuma for her night out. The former Spice girl was spotted leaving the restaurant in black trousers and an on-trend turquoise blouse.

Saturday’s singer Rochelle Wiseman was spotted coming out of Whisky Mist in a black dress complete with a biker style jacket and Amelle Barrabah also opted for the LBD look at the pre-Wimbledon party at the Kensington Roof Gardens. She was joined there by ex Eastenders star Preeya Kallidas who went for the same strapless style as the Sugababes star but instead opted for white, which showed off her gorgeous naturally tanned skin.

Just across the road Eva Herzigova also made an appearance in a strapless pink body-con frock to open the famous Harrods sale. However, we’re sure she wasn’t interested in all those half price clothes and bags on offer.

Gallery: Kristen Stewart’s Twilight Eclipse promotional style

By Andrea Petrou on June 21st, 2010

The next installment of the Twilight saga – Eclipse- will be hitting our cinema screen shortly and the cast has been out and around promoting it endlessly. Last week they made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live where they were mobbed by fans and now the tour has moved into Europe.

Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart left R-Patz back in the States to make an appearance at the ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’ photocall at the Hotel Regant Berlin, Germany before moving onto Rome.

In Germany Kristen opted for a Versace shift dress with blue trim and zip detailing. She however went for something more glitzy in Rome with a black ruffled asymmetric dress. And it didn’t end there with the starlet changing into a black panelled frock for a photocall later on in Rome.

However, she still showed she had her casual style down to a T when she was snapped arriving to her hotel in Italy in a checked shirt and minimal make-up.

Get the look: Kate Moss, The Saturdays and Florence Welch festival hair

By Andrea Petrou on June 18th, 2010

We’ve been having a regular celeb get the look series over here at ShinyStyle and don’t worry we’re not getting rid of that anytime soon. However today we thought we’d mix it up a bit and give you some hot hair tips to help you get the looks of celebrities Kate Moss, The Saturdays and Florence Welch who all brought their own unique hair styles to the Isle of Wight Festival last the weekend. We spoke to top hairdresser Lawrence Anthony, at Want The Look who told us how to recreate these celebrity styles at home or for all the upcoming summer festivals.

View the gallery below to see the celeb’s hair in full flowing action.

Kate Moss

Festival favourite Kate is sporting her usual messy rock’n'roll look but it’s a much longer style thanks to the addition of her new blonde extensions. This boho babe look can be recreated using clip-in hair extensions. Balmain has a great range available in different shades. To get Kate’s textured style roughly dry hair using a body boosting product such as TIGI Queen for a Day. Finish with everyone’s festival favourite TIGI Rockaholic Dirty Secret to give your hair a lived in look.

Frankie Sandford
This Saturday is on trend with a strong A-symmetrical haircut. Frankie’s short, strong undercut style works really well with her rich chocolate hair colour. To achieve her stylish look apply Moroccan Oil Hydrating Styling Cream and blow-dry hair to one side using a paddle brush. Finish with Moroccan Oil Glimmer Shine Spray.

Una Healy from The Saturdays
To recreate Una’s gorgeous flowing locks simply apply a volumising spray, such as Kerastase Volumactive Expansion Spray to give your hair some oomph at the roots and Ciment Thermique to protect your hair from heated styling tools. Blast hair dry and pin it in some big Velcro rollers, set with TIGI S-Factor Vivacious Hairspray. Next, use a heated styling wand to give yourself some more defined curls. Take random sections of hair to mix it up and keep things less uniformed. Top with a cute daisy chain headband for a real hippy festival vibe.

Florence Welch.
This iconic singer is recognised for her fiery-hued hair just as much as her amazing vocal chords and she always works her glam disco look well. To recreate Florence’s style apply Aveda Confixor Liquid Gel to damp hair and blow-dry using a large barrel brush to achieve maximum root lift. Run a styling iron over your thick fringe to keep it looking sleek and then again to create a wave in the hair from the mid-lengths down. Give hair some texture and separation with Aveda’s Defining Whip.

More Ladies Day at Ascot pics!

By Andrea Petrou on June 18th, 2010

Yesterday we bought you a brief round-up of some of the hats and fashion sported at Ascot Ladies Day. However, we didn’t think that was enough judging by some of the crazy fashions out there so we’ve decided to bring you some more fab images of the day.

And if you thought Lady Gaga’s headwear was crazy then prepare yourselves because racegoers really went to town this year. We spotted nods to the World Cup, odes to Alice in Wonderland and lots of floral fun. And it wasn’t just the British public that wowed.

Louise Redknapp, with hubby Jamie in tow looked gorgeous in a black simple frock and headpiece and of course Jamie looked dapper in his black suit and bowler hat. Another dapper looking celeb was Dec who wore a morning suit and waistcoat for his appearance at the event. However, there’s no doubt that the ladies looked so much better on the day.

View the gallery below for all the wacky hats and Ascot fashion.

Trend Alert: Our top five skyscraper summer sandals

By Andrea Petrou on June 18th, 2010

Yesterday we gave you a gallery of our top 5 flat summer shoes, which are hot this season. However we know many of you out there like a little bit of height with your summer outfits, after all heels can add inches and turn a maxi dress or a playsuit from a casual to a smart outfit.

There’s a huge choice of heels out on the highstreet at the moment ranging from clogs, as shown at Chanel’s SS2010 shows and worn by Alexa Chung, to platforms, which give a nod to the 80s trends that are infiltrating this season’s style.

However, one of our favourite looks at the moment are sexy strappy sandals, which give a nod to the gladiator trend. Team up with shorts for a smart festival look (although you may have problems if it’s raining) or a maxi dress or skirt for a sophisticated BBQ look.

Here’s our pick of the top 5.



Fashion Face Off

Friday Fashion Fracas: Lady Gaga VS Miley Cyrus

By Andrea Petrou on June 18th, 2010

Lady Gaga may currently be holding the crown for the most outrageously dressed singer but if rumours are to believed it’s hanging there by a thread.

According to various sources around the internet the starlet could soon be replaced by the once innocent Miley Cyrus who has shed her girl next door image for provocative clothing.

The 17 year old has been pictured in teeny tiny clothing, corsets and of course PVC, all of which Lady G has been pioneering for a good few years now. She’s also gone one step further than Miss G going pantless, trying to do lesbian kisses on stage (Lady Gaga successfully did this on her Telephone video) and being groped by her background male dancers at times.

And it also seems Kristen Stewart is becoming more of a fan. The Twilight actress said that although she listens to both Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus’s music on repeat it’s the latter that has struck a chord with her.

However, we’re not entirely convinced about this. Firstly Lady G is never off duty with her wacky outfits and unlike Miley, she would never be caught in skinny jeans. In fact Miley’s current stage style, even down to flashing her bottom are all Lady Gaga inspired. And she hasn’t showed us any individuality (we’re waiting for her to be pictured in a Lady G headpiece). So until we see something completely outrageous we’re still rooting for Miss G.

What do you think? Do you like Miley’s new style or has she still got a long way to go before she reaches the outrageous heights of Lady Gaga. View the gallery below and then vote and let us know.

Ladies Day at Ascot

By Andrea Petrou on June 17th, 2010

Ladies Day at Ascot is always a huge event with fashionable frocks, feathers, fascinators and hats around every corner. And today was no different.

Princess Beatrice in a black and white assemble and Penny Lancaster, dressed in a purple frock and matching hat joined the group of racegoers who sported a range of fun headpieces from birds to huge out-there patterns.

However the award for the wackiest outfit of the day goes to the racegoer who opted for a little bo-peep style dress complete with a huge headpiece (below) scroll down to see some of our favourites of the day and look out for a gallery tomorrow.

Spotted: Nicola Roberts, Frankie Sandford and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

By Andrea Petrou on June 17th, 2010

Last night celebs were once again out in force enjoying the summer weather and it seems the girl bands were out in force. The Saturdays singers Frankie Sanford and Mollie King stepped out of the Mayfair Hotel – Frankie in jeans and a white tassel top and Mollie in a cute lace top with shorts and skyscraper heels – to enjoy a night out in London. They were followed by Sugababe singer Amelle Barrabah who, like Frankie opted for skinny jeans, which she teamed up with a short white off the shoulder top.

Also going for the skinny jeans look was a teeny tiny Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud who teamed tup her denim with cute ballet shoes and a short sleeved jacket.

Across the other side of London Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan went for a traditional sari for the London premier of Raavan, while Sophie Anderton went for a mish mash of a bright cowel neck dress, fishnet tights and boots, which worked perfectly.

Get the look: Twilight star Ashley Greene

By Andrea Petrou on June 17th, 2010

Ashley Greene has been in and out of the press in the past few weeks. She’s busy promoting the next installment of the Twilight Saga: Eclipse movie and there have been rumours that she will not be filming the next films over disputes about pay. Thankfully, and thanks to our readers who pointed us in the right direction, this has now been resolved and it seems Ashley will be back filming for Breaking Dawn meaning we’ll be able to continue seeing her laid back and smart style.

Unlike her Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart, Ashley is more of a girl’s girl opting for femine cuts and colours. Her smart wardrobe consists of fitted dresses by designers such as Antonio Berardi and her casual style is skinny jeans, logo tees and leggings. We’ve put together a gallery of Ashley’s best fashion bits and given you highstreet alternatives to match.

Take a look and tell us which outfit is your favourite by leaving your comments below.

By Andrea Petrou on June 16th, 2010

Another day, another evening and another excuse for celebrities to come out to play and work in London. And what an evening/day it’s been.

Last night Amy Winehouse once again hit the Jazz club wearing her trademark ballet shoes and a printed dress, which clung in all the right, and wrong places. Also not looking worst for wear was Glee star Jenna Ushowitz leaving Whisky Mist, however her denim playsuit more than made up for her drunken state.

Also channelling the denim look was Girls Aloud star Kimberly Walsh who went for a denim shirt and Esmee Denters who braved the double denim trend.

Trend Alert: Top five denim must-haves.

By Andrea Petrou on June 16th, 2010

Ah denim. It’s been around for a very long time and judging by the spring/summer catwalk collections it’s here to stay and, if anything be bigger and better than ever.

Channelling the 80s trend this season it’s all about light, washed denim dresses, jumpsuits and of course jeans. And if you’re feeling brave enough then you could you could also take this a step further by going for the very 80s double denim look (think denim jackets and jeans, denim shorts teamed up with waistcoats and ever denim shirts over jeans).

We’ve put together some of our favourite denim looks out there. Mix and match or wear them together for a summer season look.

Royal Ascot: Amanda Holden, Danielle Lineker and the best hats so far

By Andrea Petrou on June 16th, 2010

And it’s off. Royal Ascot has well and truly begun bringing with it fancy frocks, fascinators and of course celebrities.

Amanda Holden turned up to the day wearing a turquoise dress and wacky Alice in Wonderland inspired hat, she was followed by Danielle Lineker who turned heads in a cream figure hugging frock.

However, unlike Amanda the WAG went for a more traditional headpiece, opting for a cream hat with ribbon detailing. Holly Valance went in the opposite direction to Danielle opting for a black dress and matching hat.

However it wasn’t just the celebrities that caught our eye. Other racegoers really gave us some sights this year with a special mention going out to the lady who wore, what looked like a real flower arrangement on her head. Lady Gaga you have some competition.

By Andrea Petrou on June 16th, 2010

It was an evening of frenzy earlier on in the week as the Twilight Eclipse cast arrived for an appearance on ABCs Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Kristen Stewart who turned up in a crochet short black shift dress by Hervé Léger for Max Azria autumn 2010, which gave a subtle nod to the rock look, was swamped by fans as she made her way into the studio. Taylor Luther, who looked smart in a checked shirt also suffered the same fate.

And it was the same for Ashley Greene who wore a black shift dress by Antonio Berardi but couldn’t get past the screaming fans.

Dakota Fanning however, seemed to have a straight run through to the studios, which she turned up to in casual grey skinny jeans and a loose grey top. She later changed into a cream shift dress for the interviewing.
