Get the Look: Geri Halliwell

By Andrea Petrou on June 8th, 2010

With the news that Geri Halliwell is to be a ‘guest’ judge during auditions for this year’s X Factor, we thought it only right that we dedicated a post to her today.

The 37-year-old former Spice Girl will fill in for Dannii Minogue while she’s on maternity leave from the programme and her appearance will come during auditions filmed in Glasgow tomorrow.

The singer is believed to be only appearing as a one-off but could return in the future so to honour this we’ve decided to tribute a get the look gallert especially to her. View the gallery below for Geri’s style.

Spotted in London: Pixie Lott, Christine Bleakley and Nicole Richie

By Andrea Petrou on June 8th, 2010

Our Spotted in London series was interupted yesterday with all the news from the TV Baftas, but fear not because today it’s back with a vengence.

A range of celebs hit London yesterday. We spotted Kelly Rowland leaving her hotel in a blue military style jumpsuit while Pixie Lott made a fashion stand in a LBD and thigh high lace stockings outside the ITV studios.

Fearne Cotton was seen sporting her usual kooky mix of jeans, Converse trainers and hair accessories on her way to the BBC studios while Corrie star Michelle Keegan went for casual leggings and flip flops for a browse around the shops.

Christine Bleakley in skinny jeans and a vest top also looked like the cat who got the cream after reportedly signing a million pound deal with ITV while Nicole Ritchie looked like she’d spent a fair bit of money on a night out a Zuma. Depite this the star looked gorgeous in a Harlequin top and leggings.

See all the celebs out and about by checking out the gallery below.

The World Cup season is nearly upon us and we’re getting ready for the month where the credit cards come out as we go shopping and leave our other halves to it (unless England are playing of course).

However one thing we will be looking forward to is seeing Shakira perform in a concert in Johannesburg on Thursday night to kick off the World Cup.

According to WWD the singer will be clad in a slinky Roberto Cavalli outfit consisting of a
zebra-print jumpsuit and fringed skirt. It is thought she’ll also be singing her latest single, “Waka-Waka,” and the World Cup anthem.

Alicia Keys, Black Eyes Peas, John Legend and the Soweto Gospel Choir are also slated to hit the stage. We can’t wait to see the pics!

Gallery: Stars turn up for the CFDA Fashion Awards

By Andrea Petrou on June 8th, 2010

It was a night of designer fashion fun as A-listers turned out in their dozens to honour top designers at the CFDA Fashion Awards held at the held at the Alice Tulley hall in the Lincoln Centre.

Sarah Jessica Parker stole the show in a patterned ball gown from Alexander McQueen‘s pre-autumn 2010 collection before honouring her late friend in a moving tribute. The designer’s memory was also kept alive throughout the ceremony with a string of models taking to the runway and showcasing his final collection.

The SATC actress was also joined in the patterned look by Jessica Biel who went for a bright frock by Diane Von Furstenberg and Rachel Weisz, who presented Jason Wu with the Swarovski award for his womenswear collection, also continued this trend in a black and blue knee length frock complete with shoulder detailing.

However, it wasn’t just the stars who opted for this look. Vogue Editor, and celebrity in her own right, Anna Wintour channelled this look with her floral white shift dress.

Gwyneth Paltrow went for a black long slinky dress by Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Michael Kors. And model Iman who was presented with the Fashion Icon accolade from Isabella Rosselini, also followed the black trend in an extravagant fishtail frock.

However Dakota Fanning went the opposite way opting instead for a short white frock by Marchesa. She was followed by Alexa Chung who went for a long beige chiffon gown complete with bow detailing, by Chanel.

TV Baftas: Get the celebrity looks from last night at highstreet prices

By Andrea Petrou on June 7th, 2010

Let’s face it, we all wish we could look like the stars on a night out and wanted their expensive outfits.

However, with the credit crunch still looming and many of us not being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds for a TV appearance the chances of wearing Chanel, Givenchy and Alexander McQueen to an event are very rare. Add to that the fact that many designers also lend these outfits to A-listers free and it’s almost impossible.

After seeing some of the gorgeous clothes the stars wore to the TV Baftas last night we decided to have a scout around the highstreet and find some similar alternatives at much more affordable prices. Take a look at our gallery and find out where you can find similar styles to those worn my Tamzin Outhwaite, Tina O’Brien, Michelle Keegan, Sinead Keenan and Gail Porter.

TV Baftas: Helena Bonham-Carter wins our worst dressed award

By Andrea Petrou on June 7th, 2010

Helena Bonham- Carter-400.jpg

We’ve been a little bit disappointed with this year’s events. Not because of the lack of elegance or glam but because nearly all the celebrities that attend them look so damn nice and this means we rarely get a chance to have a little jibe at the “worst dressed”.

Last night’s TV Baftas also followed this trend with many celebs looking stunning on the red carpet. However, it was Helena Bonham-Carter who stood out for all the wrong reasons.

The actress who we usually admire for her kooky and creative clothing went that step too far teaming up a red taffeta dress with a pirate hat and netted headpiece, which screamed tack. This might not have been so bad had Helena not chosen to wear her sunnies which really made the outfit a complete mismatch.

Helena we love your normal kooky style but this time you just went that little bit too far.

TV Baftas: Trend – It was all white on the night

By Andrea Petrou on June 7th, 2010

Ok so we’ve been going on about white being a huge trend on the red carpet this year and we’ve seen it everywhere from the Oscars to the Baftas to various premiers in Cannes.

However, just as we thought it was dying out it made a huge appearance on the red carpet at last night’s TV Baftas. Amanda Holden went for this trend but made it stand out with a silver bodice while Kara Tointon and Michelle Keegan went for straight dresses with asymmetric shoulder detailing.

Eastender’s star Lacey Turner also channelled this trend in a white lace frock while ex Corrie star Tina O’Brien and Romola Garai both opted for short white frocks.

However, we’re pleased to say that unlike other events there wasn’t anything too bridal about these dresses. Instead they matched the summer weather perfectly.

Jessica Biel turns up for the A-team premier while Kylie Minogue dresses up for AmfAR

By Andrea Petrou on June 4th, 2010

While celebrities were partying the night away and enjoy the day’s sunshine in the UK, their A-list US counterparts were also donning their glad rags for two star studded events.

Jessica Biel turned up for the A-Team premier in a long white Grecian style dress complete with black lace panelling across the belly.

Minnie Driver also graced the red carpet in a black shift dress, and although sh tried to give this a quirky twist with just one sleeves we’re not entirely sure it worked, looking more like she’d been in a fight and had it ripped off rather than being styled this way.

US TV presenter Samantha Harris made a sunny appearance in a yellow asymmetic frock complete with a cute skinny belt.

Over in New York Kylie Monogue opted for a gorgeous black asymmetric dress complete with a PVC shrug for the 2010 amfAR New York Inspiration Gala held at the Public Library.

She was joined by singer Estelle who also opted for a black coat to make her entrance and Cyndi Lauper who also went for a LBD. Tinsley Mortimer however went for a brighter outfit opting for a gorgeous nude layered and white frock.

Have a look at our gallery for all the best dressed of the night .

Get the look: Kylie Minogue’s summer style

By Andrea Petrou on June 4th, 2010

What is there to say about Kylie‘s style that hasn’t been said before? She’s cool, sassy and pulls off casual amazingly well.

On stage the pint sized singer sparkles in outfits including hotpants, PVC and we can credit her with introducing the snood into mainstream fashion thanks to her outfit choice in her “Can’t get you out of my head” music video.

However, when she’s not performing Kylie does what many of us do. She goes casual in jeans and vests, which she heavily accessorises with sunglasses, bags and chunky necklaces. We’ve put together a get the look of the singer’s summer outfits to give you some summer wardrobe inspiration.

Spotted in London: Ke$ha and Amanda Holden

By Andrea Petrou on June 4th, 2010

Yesterday’s weather was perfect to take that long stroll through London and the balmy evening made it perfect for dancing the night away. And it seems celebrities did just that.

Singer Ke$ha took advantage of the humid evening by hitting Mahiki nightclub dressed in a leopard print dress, flat boots and of course pop-star tastic sunglasses, while Gary Lineker and his WAG enjoyed the sun on a walk in Nottinghill. However, Danielle made the most of the evening too, shaking off her ex footie beau and turning up for a night out at the Mayfair hotel. And she wasn’t the only celebrity staking out the venue with Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt also making an entrance later on.

However, while these celebs were enjoying themselves others had to work. We spotted Amanda Holden in a blue smocked maxi dress making the most of the sun before heading into the ITV studios for the forth night of the Britains Got Talent semi finals. She was followed by Miley Cyrus who vamped up the summer shorts look with sky high shoe boots and rock star tee.

Fashion Trend: Top five Tankinis

By Andrea Petrou on June 3rd, 2010

Yesterday we bought you a gallery of the hottest bikinis around and promised we’d be giving you a range of different swimwear options over the next few weeks.

First on our list are Tankinis. This style of swimwear made a huge entrance a few years ago and has been sported by many a celeb including Cheryl Cole and WAG Carly Zucker.

However they are also a favourite with girls who are slightly unhappy with their tums and feel awkward wearing a bikini but don’t want the restriction of a swimming costume.

We bring you our top 5.

Gallery: Our top 20 stylish wags from Victoria Beckham to Christine Bleakley

By Andrea Petrou on June 3rd, 2010

The England players have left for South Africa to begin the World Cup training today and many have left their wags behind for a few weeks before they go and join them. New to the line up this year is most notably Christine Bleakley, who has been quoted as saying in the press that she is not a WAG and will not be hanging out with the rest of them in South Africa when she goes to watch Frank Lampard.

However is she stylish enough to beat Peter Crouch’s missus Abbey Clancy who was a Britian’s Next Top Model runner up and is known for her love of fashion, or will she befriend England captains Missus Rebecca Ellison who is of the similar mindset.

And we also want to know if Coleen Rooney‘s style going to beat Victoria Beckham‘s this year. Victoria may have a designing debut under her belt but we think Coleen’s got the style too.

But our top 20 doesn’t just include UK Wags, after all this is an international game. So we’ve also found a few fashionable WAGS from France, Germany and Holland including Tatiana Golovin, to spice up the style stakes and we can’t wait to see whose wardrobes are going to be the best.

However, we hope Melanie Slade didn’t get her summer South Africa outfit ready as it seems she’ll be spending all her time with Theo Walcott after he got dropped from the team.
