Who remembers how Diana Vickers used to look? The birds’ nest of hair, the crazy-lady nightgowns and her trademark clawed hand? Those fashion faux-pas of the past seem a terribly long time ago for Vickerz, who has a new single on the way and, we assume, a much better stylist. No longer does she dress like a poor man’s Stevie Nicks – like a butterfly, she’s emerged from her chiffon-and-patchouli cocoon as a sleek, fierce creature of fashion.

Top marks to the singer for turning up to the launch of her new self-penned single “My Wicked Heart”, wearing a kooky printed outfit from up-and-coming designer Charlotte Taylor, one of our favourite designers who showed at Vauxhall Fashion Scout earlier this  year. Bright blue and yellow penguin-print is difficult to pull off unless you’re already a well-established bizarre fashion bitch, but Diana made it look effortless, teaming the print with a scruffy up-do and metallic blue loafers. We love.

We’ve been fans of Charlotte Taylor’s designs for a while now, and seeing pop’s girl next door  pull it off has inspired us to try and rock them too. To take a look at the ready-to-wear pieces from her A/W collection, click here. You’ll have to save up, though.

As a celebration of Miss Vickers’ new found extroverted sense of fashion, we’ve compiled a gallery of some of her best recent looks. Shiny Style loves you, Diana!
