Kelly Brook likes to invest in classic pieces.
The stunning model is famed for her curvy figure and says over time she has started buying items that will last and suit her body shape.
She said: “I buy a lot more classic pieces that will last and I’ve learnt what suits me – anything that nips me in at the waist works because I’m curvy. My style is feminine, sexy and classic with a nod to the 50s.”
However, Kelly says good underwear is a must when wearing any dress.
She said: “My tips for dressing curves are good fitted underwear. It’s all about the foundations girls!”
With the Christmas party season coming up, the 31-year-old beauty also gave tips on what is the perfect festive dress.
She told Closer magazine: “Glitz and sparkle! But one that accentuates the part of your body you love the most.
“Sophia Loren once said, ‘A dress should be like a barbed wire fence. Serving its purpose without obstructing the view.”

Patricia wants to get her fashion claws into Michelle Obama (left)
Michelle Obama believes her fashion choices are “very practical”.
The US first lady – who posed for the cover of US Vogue when her husband Barack became President – admits she always has to “love” what she wears, but must consider the physical implications of whatever outfit she is wearing.
She said: “I have to wear what I love. I have to feel good in it. My day-to-day wardrobe choices are very practical. I’m like, ‘What’s the temperature? Am I going to be sitting in the grass? Will I be playing with kids? Can I sit on the floor?’ ”
The 47-year-old philanthropist also reveals she likes to think little about her clothes once she has them on.
She said: “If I’m comfortable in what I have on, that’s second nature, and then all my attention can go on the people in the room that I’m with at the time, and I don’t have to worry whether something is riding up or whether my feet hurt. I don’t want to waste anxiety on something as limited as clothes.”

The Spice Girls have alot to answer for. Not only did they pave the way for girl groups but they also bought us a range of fashion and showed us that we don’t have to dress like the rest of the crowd to fit in.
Even though they have now all gone their separate ways they are still continuing to give us style inspiration so we decided that it was time we shone the spotlight on them all separately.
First to be scrutinised is Mel B who was one of the ladies that made leopard print wearable. In her Spice Girl days this print was never far away from her wardrobe, nor were neons or checks.
Beauty wise it was all about the big curls. However since the split this lady has spiced up swapping the prints for slinky dresses and neons for on-trend colours. And there’s not a curl in sight with her now super sleek locks.
See the gallery below and let us know which style you prefer.

Katie Holmes wants to travel the world with her daughter.
The 32-year-old actress is eager to embark on the “next chapter” in her life, and is looking forward to taking on new dramatic roles and experiencing new cultures with five-year-old Suri, her child with husband Tom Cruise.
She said: “I feel ready for the next chapter of my life. I’m excited to begin a new phase: roles I might have been afraid to play before, places I want to travel to with my daughter. I’d like to build the design business. But not too fast.”
The former ‘Dawson’s Creek’ star also admitted she is also keen to get rid of her mobile phone and live life in a more “old-fashioned” way.
She added in an interview with Marie Claire magazine: “I’m thinking about getting rid of [my cell phone]. Wouldn’t it be great to have an old-fashioned phone sheet? Go to your office, make your calls, and then continue with your day?”
Katie also revealed she has to work hard to balance motherhood with her career, but she is pleased to be able to expose Suri to people with “incredible talent”.
Asked how she balances the two, she said: “Because you have to. As an actress who is also a mother, you don’t have the luxury of drama.
“Being around this business, my daughter is exposed to people with incredible talent, people who are the best at what they do. People I only dreamed of getting to work with as a little girl.”

Bar Refaeli is to appear in a new fashion reality TV show.
The Israeli model has filmed segments for ‘Scouted’ which aims to find the next big star in the modelling world with Scott Lipps’ New York agency One Management.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Bar will appear in one episode, advising and helping aspiring models.”
Despite being one of the world’s most in-demand models, Bar recently revealed how she doesn’t feel the need to be “super skinny”.
The 26-year-old beauty is famed for her amazing figure but said she would never want to be too thin and would rather be happy and healthy.
She said: “I don’t feel the need to be super skinny, but being in shape is important. But even if I wasn’t in this industry I would still want to look after myself and be healthy and keep my body in good condition.”
Bar also said she enjoys exercising but makes sure she increases her workouts if she’s got a big shoot coming up.
She said: “I always want to look my best on a shoot, or for a fashion show, so I do an extra couple of sit-ups the night before and I drink hot water with lemon to get my metabolism kick-started in the morning and to cleanse my system, but I don’t do anything crazy.
“There’s nothing worse than forcing yourself to spend hours in the gym when you don’t enjoy it, so I do all sorts of things to work out because I get bored easily.”

Diane von Furtstenberg believes her greatest achievement is giving women confidence.
The 64-year-old designer – who is most famous for the wrap dress she designed in the 1970s, which enjoyed a revival over two decades later – is proud that people enjoy wearing her creations because they make them feel good about themselves, though she hopes she still has things to achieve.
She said: “I am against anything that objectifies women,
“My greatest achievement is that I have given confidence to women with my clothes.
“The word ‘accomplished’ makes you think with a full stop. I hope I am accomplishing!”
Diane believes that female designers make more appealing outfits because they are practical fashions, whereas she thinks her male counterparts prefer “costumes”.
She said: “Women design clothes for women to wear. Men design costumes.”
Diane admitted she felt “humiliated” when she was learned pregnant after getting engaged to Prince Egon of Furstenberg but was determined to forge a career and insisted on learning the basics of fashion before marrying at 23.
She told the Guardian newspaper: “I was working in a clothing factory in Italy when I discovered I was pregnant. I was humiliated, worried people would think I’d done it to get the ‘best catch in Europe’. So I said to my boss: ‘I’m getting married and moving to America, but before I go, can I learn how to make clothes?’ And I stayed after work with the patternmaker, and that’s how I got into fashion.”

Leighton Meester always gives her own twist to an outfit.
The Gossip Girl actress says it’s important to give a unique look to clothes so whenever she wears something she always makes sure she jazzes it up.
She said: “My biggest fashion tip is take something really basic and make it your own. You could be wearing jeans and a T-shirt but if you add heals that are your style, they completely change your outfit. It’s the same with a little black dress – if you add an awesome necklace or a headscarf or a bag, that makes it special.
“My essential fashion item is a great pair of heels. They just give you that extra oomph.”
Leighton, 25, also revealed how she feels and her sexiest when she’s in simple clothes and no make-up.
She told LOOK magazine: “I can feel sexy in jeans and a T-shirt. Not trying to be sexy is really sexy. I actually think I’m prettier without make-up. It’s just about accepting what you love about yourself.”

Yesterday we gave you some ideas on how to achieve that fairy outfit for Halloween and today we’re still flying high with this idea with some make-up ideas to complete the look.
The great thing about this make up is that you can go as detailed or subtle as you like. Go to extremes and go for a garden fairy look by using green shimmering face paint, adding red liner to eyes and red lippy to lips or add some flowers to hair for a more subtle look. If you want a softer look why not try feathered lashes or pastel eye and lip colours.
See the top five fairy make up ideas in the gallery below.

Blake Lively has made a second visit to see Ryan Reynolds in Boston.
The ‘Gossip Girl’ actress – who recently split from Leonardo DiCaprio after five months of dating – was reportedly spotted having a romantic dinner with the 35-year-old hunk in exclusive Boston eatery Mistral Bistro last Monday.
A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: “It’s getting more serious. Ryan really respects her.”
While Blake was said to be keen to spend “a few days” with Ryan, who is filming new movie ‘C.I.P.D’ in the city, she was only able to stay one night before heading back to New York.
The visit came just days after the ‘Change Up’ star – who split from wife Scarlett Johansson last December – headed to the Big Apple to visit Blake on the set of ‘Gossip Girl’ last weekend.
A source previously said: “They hugged and then got in a car together. They became good friends on the set [of 'Green Lantern']. Now they’re both single and trying it out. They’re seeing each other casually.”
During Blake’s first visit to Boston, the pair enjoyed a romantic meal at sushi palace O Ya in the Leather District and were reportedly spotted kissing at Boston’s South Train Station on October 3.
Despite also having been linked to Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock since his split from Scarlett, Ryan insists he isn’t “potent enough” to handle so many ladies.
He recently said: “Right now I seem to be on a speed-dating mission – at least according to those stories that are going around at the moment. Even my mom is confused. No man is potent enough to be able to go through as many women as that in such a short amount of time like I allegedly have!”

Beyonce Knowles is not nervous about being a mother.
The 30-year-old singer is expecting her first baby with husband Jay-Z – who she married in April 2008 – and feels “blessed” that everything in her personal life is going well.
In an interview with new! magazine, she said: “It’s going really well, I am so happy with everything right now.
“I am not nervous because I know it’s happening at the right time. I felt I got married at the right time for me, and now we are having the baby at the right time. I feel like we didn’t rush anything, and now we are being blessed with everything naturally.”
Beyonce has also praised Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Carter – describing him as her “best friend” and says she can always rely on him for support in every part of her life.
She said: “He is my best friend, and I am so blessed to have him as my husband. We have been together since I was 20, and he is my rock during everything.”
