If our fairy shoe mother was to give us £1000 we’d head straight to Christian Louboutin and buy a pair of his red soled shoes.
Part of us would want to cherish them, probably never wear them outdoors for fear that we would get the sky scraper heel caught in a drain or spill something nasty on the lovely leather or pretty patent. While the other part would want to take them everywhere we went just to show we had a pair.
However because celebrities can afford more than a pair they tend to do the latter strutting around in their red soled beauties and making us drawl.
Serial red sole flashers include Coleen Rooney who is hardly ever snapped without a pair on her lucky feet, Cheryl Cole who likes to flash these, and Rihanna.
And even Posh who in the past has had problems because of wearing skyscraper heels can’t keep herself away from these.
We’ve put together a gallery of Louboutin loving celebs and their gorgeous shoes. We feel a touch of the green eyed monster coming on…
Come on admit it, all of you at one point in your teenage years had a stage where you didn’t look exactly like model material. Mine was from around 12-16 when GHDs hadn’t been invented and I didn’t know what a pair of tweezers were (think Ugly Betty and multiply it by 10 and you get an idea).
And it seems I wasn’t alone in my “ugly duckling” with celebrities, such as Kristen Stewart, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Winona Ryder and Posh all going through this phase before they transformed into beautiful swans.
We’ve put together a gallery of their pasts and presents to cheer you up on this wet and miserable Friday.
It’s not often we get to do a “worst dressed” gallery. Stars have wised up to trends, got themselves decent stylists and many glow on the red carpet or at events, which is why we’ve had to combine faus pas from August and July.
However, there’s always a few that make a mistake, and being fashionable girls we jump at the opportunity to point these out, for your own good of course, we don’t want you copying these badly dressed celebs.
Katie Price made our worst dressed list twice this month, firstly going for military style trousers, which went off the style chart due to the number of slits, and secondly for pairing up a short black dress with knee high wonderwoman style boots. Speaking of this, Alesha Dixon also fell foul of the fashion law when she turned up in a bodysuit, which looked as though Wonderwoman had an affair with a cheerleader.
Other celebrities which we felt deserved a mention is Madonna for her bag lady look (you have to see the picture) and Lucie from the X-Factor who got the shoe and sock fashion trend completely mixed up.
Take a look at our 14 worst dressed celebs and let us know who you think should win the Dog’s dinner award.
Wow, Katy Perry’s gone all sophisticated on us. The singer/other half of Russel Brand was spotted out and about sporting a cute bob, which made her look alot more grown up.
And it seems we’re not the only ones who think so. Celebrity Stylist Mark Woolley, founder of Electric Hairdressing London, told us: “Katy Perry has once again demonstrated that she’s the ultimate retro chameleon with her sleek and sassy Lanvin inspired new bob.”
He added that her new “bold and fearless style means the world stops to take watch when she changes her hair style and this glossy Anna Wintour homage is bang on for this Autumn/Winter’s luxury hair trend.”
And he also had a few tips for those of you daring enough to copy Katy’s look (we would attempt it but our curls wouldn’t behave).
Step one: Apply a nourishing mask like Kérastase Masque Chroma Reflect and wash out after 10 minutes for incredible mirror like shine that’s silky to the touch.
Step two: Using a large paddle brush, blowdry through the hair until it is almost dry, pointing the nozzle down the hair shaft to smooth hair and prevent frizz.
Step three: Create volume by using a large Denman Hot Barrel Brush and continue blowdrying through the lengths, starting at the roots until hair is dry.
Step four: Finish by wrapping the ends including the fringe around the barrel brush to frame the face and create shape.
Mollie King, along with the rest of The Saturdays singers, has rarely been out of the spotlight this month.
She’s been spotted partying the night away, on TV shows promoting the next Saturdays singles, and of course just out and about.
However, one thing that really makes the singer stand out is her amazing wardrobe, which consists of pieces, which can be dressed up or down. She’s also a big fan of the nautical, denim shorts and bodycon dress trends often being spotted giving a nod to these styles.
And yesterday she showcased them again when she was spotted out and about in London wearing this classic Breton stripe sailor top from hot London label, Upper 5th.
Angelina has really blown us away with her selection of outfits for premiers and promotions of upcoming film Salt.
And there hasn’t been any of her trademark black dresses in sight.
Following on from her gorgeous floor skimming Amanda Wakeleyfrock in London earlier this week, Ange stepped onto the Paris red carpet in a knee length sparkly number by Pamella Roland which she teamed up with champagne satin Salvatore Ferragamo court shoes.
Similarly to the London premier she opted for, subtle make up however her Paris hairdo was an updo, rather than the loose wavy look she went for in London.
While Angelina Jolie pulled out all the stops in her Amanda Wakeley gorgeous gown in London for the premiere of her new film, Salt, Jennifer Aniston kept it short and sweet at the LA premiere of her new movie, The Switch.
The starlet who has gained a reputation by looking more stunningly casual than over the top at premiers looked lovely in a simple strapless dress by Lanvin, which she teamed up with on-trend nude sandals.
But who do you think wore their dress best last night. Leave your comments below and let us know.
Angelina Jolie has been making a fashion entrance on each and every red carpet premier of her upcoming film Salt. And this didn’t end yesterday when she continued to wow the London crowds when she turned up to the UK premier of the film.
Looking perhaps a little bit too skinny, the actress opted for a £3,000 pink and silver Amanda Wakeley gown, with a thigh-high split that revealed her spindly legs and showed off her cute pale pink patent peep toe shoes.
However her light make-up and lightly waved hair more than made up for her slim figure, making her look radiant and showing us once again why she’s known as one of the most gorgeous women in the world.

Her hairstyle has been one of the most talked about topics this week and last night Emma Watson decided to show it off a little bit more.
The starlet stepped onto the red carpet to promote the 100 day countdown for the first part of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, which hits cinemas in November.
And of course, she also took the opportunity to show off her noted fashion sense, opting for an on-trend lace playsuit, which of course she pulled off perfectly.
The star who has been replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whitely as the face of Burberry is rumoured to have cut her hair in a bid to win the lead part in the upcoming film Girl with The Dragon Tattoo.
If we’d told you last year that Miley Cyrus was auctioning off her clothes for charity, you may have told your little sister and thought no-more of it.
However, with the star’s outfits becoming raunchier and including see-through sundresses, $25,000 corsets, and mesh leotards you’ll be as excited as us to hear that you can get your hands on some of these.
According to MTV the 17-year-old singer is clearing out her closet and auctioning them off on eBay to raise money for Get Ur Good On, a social network charity that connects youth with volunteer and service opportunities in their communities.
Miley said in a video on eBay: “For me, I get this amazing blessing and opportunity to do this every day and get up on stage and hopefully inspire people with my music.
“And that’s something that’s really important to me, but so is getting involved in charities.”
Frizzy haired Harry Potter-nerd turned Burberry beauty and fashion darling, Emma Watson, has taken the plunge and chopped off all her locks in this season’s most popular style: the crop. Once made iconic by silver screen stars such as Julie Andrews and Jean Seberg, it’s now sported by the likes of He’s Just Not That Into You star Ginnifer Goodwin and An Education actress Carey Mulligan – and now Emma’s followed suit.
The haircut is more than a drastic change aesthetically: it also marks the end of Emma’s role of Hermione Granger, as filming for the final Harry Potter has come to the end. She’ll never have to backcomb her hair again – she will probably never want to see another round hairbrush in her life, poor thing. The cute pixie ‘do has met with conflicted reactions from her fans, but I personally think it looks great.
There’s not much to say about Taylor Momsen that hasn’t already been said. Don’t get us wrong, we’re big fans of the Gossip Girl, turned rocker, and it seems we’re not alone.
This year she’s received attention from both Madonna and John Galliano and her band, Pretty Reckless is going from strength. She’s also had a modelling debut with New Look and although it seems she’s an old starlet, she’s not.
She’s just accomplished alot in her young life and she’s also created a fashion statement amongst her fans- the stockings and suspenders.
However, she wasn’t always the rock chick, complete with statement thick eyeliner and bright red lipstick. And up until 2008, her clothes were sensible and girly to match her Gossip Girl character Jenny Humphrey. We have a look at her changing faces.
Transformers 3 filming is making great headway and we’ve been getting pictures from the filming starring new girl on the Transformers block, Rosie Huntington Whiteley who very publicly took over from Megan Fox.
But is there really a great deal of difference between the two? After all they have both starred in Transformers, modelled underwear and are seen as two of the most beautiful, not to mention stylish women in the world.
And if this didn’t make it hard enough, it seems they have very similar fashion sense. Both women will often opt for a short, yet simple frock to an event (although Rosie will sometimes go for a tight maxi) and both love their casual style.
However it’s Megan that’s the braver of the two when it comes to “slobbing out” working those leggings and Ugg boots, while Rosie is rarely snapped in anything less than jeans. And lately we’ve been leaning further towards the Victoria’s Secret model after Megan appeared at a premier looking bloated and stretched leading us to believe she had plastic surgery.
We’ve put together a gallery of the two starlet’s style. Take a look and let us know who you think should win the best dressed award by voting below.
It’s been a whirlwind couple of years for Dannii Minogue.
The singer, model, dress designer and now yummy mummy started off her career as a singer many moons ago in the shadow of her sister Kylie, she also got a starring role in Home and Away. However, she didn’t do as well as sibling. And it remained the same for a long time. However, after appearing as a judge on the 2007 X-Factor her status began to change.
Yes she was still criticised, in 2007 for not having a personality and then in the 2008 edition of X-Factor for being “cold” and not showing any emotion (at the time Dannii put this down to being depressed about her sister’s fight against cancer and botox), however in 2009 she turned things around.
Her sparkle came back, leading her to become a firm favourite as the nation’s sweetheart (Cheryl Cole still holds the crown) and her fantastic dress sense earned her a place as one of the UK’s most fashionable females, which in turn led to a modelling stint with Marks and Spencer and a fashion range.
However, and we’re sure Dannii would agree, the best time for her was the birth of her gorgeous little boy Ethan earlier this month with boyfriend Kris Smith.
We look at Dannii’s transformation throughout her career.
The Saturdays girls are rarely out of the spotlight with many of the group being snapped on a regular night out.
Although all of them have great dress sense, the one that stands out to me is Mollie King.
The starlet never seems to put a fashion foot wrong, opting for a style that is often casual, yet has little twists, such as highwaisted shorts, high shoes and accessories, give her look a smart tone too.
However, she also plays the dress down look well too, pairing casual tops with on trend denim shorts or teaming up a nautical frock with a denim shirt.
