Gallery, Spotted in London
By Andrea Petrou on September 3rd, 2010
It’s been a busy couple of days for celebrities who have been hitting the capital for partying and work.
Katy Perry made an appearance outside her London hotel channelling the geek chic trend in a polka dot dress and thick rimmed glasses, while Fearne Cotton went for the vintage trend in a purple 50s style frock and ankle boots for her day at work.
Alexa Chung also hit the town in a little black leather frock and gave a nod to the animal print look with a cute leopard print bag, while Amelle Berrabah went for a super smart look in a strapless body con dress. And the smart look also carried on with Elizabeth Hurley opting for an electric blue dress for the Patrick Cox party and Sophie Anderton, a black dress for a night out with her hubby.
More casually dressed celebs this week included Frankie Sanford and Rochelle Wiseman who went for jeans on their days out, and Pixie Geldof who opted for a retro Eminem tee for her night out in Bungalow 8.

It’s that time of the year again. X-Factor has taken over our Saturday nights and soon we’ll be fighting over whether to watch this or Strictly Come Dancing, which may be running at the same time.
Then, once the fireworks, which always pop up to announce the X-Factor winner in December, are out, it’s time for Britian’s got Talent, America’s got Talent and American Idol. And let’s not forget all the other reality shows in between.
Currerntly Sky One is playing host to Must be the Music and Living is considering another series of it’s dance show “The time of your life” and let’s also not Dancing on Ice.
As much as we love the contestants on all of these shows, being fashion girl’s the main draw is of course the judges whose style always leaves us drawling. Of course there’s Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue but who can forget Alisha Dixon on Strictly, Charlotte Church in BBC show Over the rainbow and Kimberley Wyatt in Sky One’s Just Dance.
We’ve put together a list of our top stylish reality show judges including those guest one’s on this year’s X-Factor. Tell us who your favourite is.

The holidays are well and truly over, unless of course your lucky enough to be on your way to Ibiza closing parties, or have bagged yourself a late September deal (can we come in your suitcases?).
And that means that your summer workwear wardrobe may be looking a little bit tired. Yes we know it’s slightly depressing having to fold away those summer maxi dresses and cute cropped trousers that saw you through the past through months but look on the bright side… it’s time to go shopping and get yourself a new autumn work wear wardrobe. Due to the huge amount of trends floating around this season, smart dressers are spoilt for choice. Thanks to the 50s trend, vintage style frocks are a good option, while the lingering military trend means you can get away with blazer jackets in this style.
Then of course, there’s the traditional blouses and suits (camel and tan trousers are going to be huge if you’re not worried about the rain) updated to this season’s style.
We pick out our top five key work pieces.

We were disappointed when we heard that Kate Moss is set to end her partnership with Topshop after four years designing for the brand.
Earlier this week the model said she was ending her stint with the retail firm after 13 collections citing ‘other commitments’ as the reason for the split (we hope it’s not because of her jam making).
The collection, which began in 2007, will end after her 14th collection goes on sale in October and although the rumour mill has gone into overdrive claiming there have been spats between Ms Moss and her BFF Philip Green who is looking for another designer, both claim it’s a mutual decision.
Phil told The Times: ‘There have been no dramas and we don’t need a new muse.
‘There is only one Kate and we are not looking for a replacement.’
From starting out as a model in her teen years Kate has had a successful range of contracts from Burberry to Rimmel and despite her little hiccup where she was snapped taking drugs, the model has turned it around, dumping Pete Doherty and finding love with Jamie Hince. We have a look at a very small snapshot of her life so far.

Forget about smart and sophisticated, because one huge trend marching into the highstreet this A/W is Geek Chic.
Thick rimmed glasses, knitted preppy jumpers, brogues and socks up to the knees were all huge on the catwalks with designers such as Henry Holland channelling this trend and taking inspiration from TV shows such as Glee and Ugly Betty.
And this trend has already been picked up by celebrity fans with Alexa Chung and Chloe Sevigny leading the way and Britney Spears has also given a nod to this trend donning thick glasses for a daytime look.
So pull up your thick cable knitted socks/tights, grab that cardigan and satchel and get geeky.
Here’s our top five Geek Chic must haves.

Ladies, it’s time to confess. Hands up who has seen Sir Alan Sugar in his boardroom and felt themselves getting a little bit hot under the collar, or watched Phil Spencer doing his stuff on Location, Location, Location and wished he would come knocking at their door?
Who has no interest in cooking but sat and watched Gordon Ramsey in action for an hour, and how many of you are thinking of going into politics just because you maybe might get the opportunity to stroke Boris Johnson’s straw like hair?
Yes, these scenarios may sound wrong, but let us tell you there’s no need to hide away in shame because believe it or not, there are hundreds of women who have similar embarrassing crushes.
We spoke to friends, readers and scoured forums to find out who your top 15 embarrassing celebrity crushes were and we even put in our own (Robson Green) to make you feel better about yourselves.
They may not be Brad Pitt, Clive Owen or Robert Pattinson but these 15 men have something that rock your boat, view our gallery below for our top 15, and remember you don’t need to hide that screen because we can guarantee that they’ll be a colleague or friend that will have been harbouring that secret crush on Richard Madely or the Hoff for years.

Fashion Face Off, Gallery, X Factor

Last year we became accustomed to pitting Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue against each other during each and every episode of the X-Factor.
However, with Dannii Minogue off looking after her baby it’s down to guest judges to fill her spot. And of course this has given us a great opportunity to begin an X-Factor style war. Two weeks ago Geri joined Cheryl, Simon and Louis on the panel, but if we’re honest we think Cheryl beat her hands down. However, this week the tables turned with Katy Perry making an appearance, donning a sparkly frock, which we think rivalled Cheryls military style.
We’ve therefore put together a gallery of the two and want you to tell us who you think is the most stylish. Is it Katy with her sometimes smart, sometimes quirky style? Or is it Cheryl’s designer get-up that wins your vote?
Vote below and let us know.

With the days turning and the wind picking up, plus tomorrow officially becoming autumn, it’s time to start packing away those bikinis, shorts and dresses and getting into the autumn fashion.
There’s a great deal to be excited about this season. The 80s trend is sticking around, puff sleeves will be making a comeback (as demonstrated by Paul Costelloe) and of course there’s the camel colours we can look forward to.
However, one trend that we’re really pleased is here to stay from the summer is the leather biker jacket. Worn by celebs such as Rihanna and Taylor Momsen, this jacket will form a staple part of any girls wardrobe for the first few months and thanks to Burberry’s fur and aviation trend, into the winter too.
We’ve picked out our favourite five.

It seems Paris Hilton is following in the footsteps of Lindsay Lohan.
The socialite was arrested on suspicion of possessing cocaine late last week and was detained by police in Las Vegas after they pulled over a car in which she was a passenger. Cops are said to have found a suspicious-looking white powder in Hilton’s purse, which was tested and allegedly proved to be cocaine. The hotel heiress was arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention Centre, where she was charged with possession of a controlled substance.
However, the star, which also served time in jail in 2007 on a DUI charge, isn’t taking the charges lightly.
Asked whose cocaine was in the purse, Hilton told police she “had not seen it” and thought it was chewing-gum, according to a police report.
Hilton also told police she had borrowed the purse and that the cosmetics did not belong to her, though the asthma medication, cash, credit cards and Zig-Zag wrappers were hers.
She’s also taken the claims one step further claiming the the bag or purse containing the drug was not expensive enough to be hers and that a friend had lent it to her.
If convicted she could get anything from probation to four years in prison and a fine of £3,233.
Her lawyer, David Chesnoff, encouraged people “not to rush to judgement until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law,” according to a statement released to US media.
We look right back to when the star first started out.

It was a star studded night on Sunday as celebrities hit the red carpet for the 62nd Emmy Awards, and we’re pleased to say there wasn’t a bad frock in sight.
Glee star Lea Michelle wowed in a stunning Oscar de la Renta mermaid dress, complete with ruffles and a sweetheart neckline, while reality TV star Kim Kardashian sparkled in a white floaty Marchesa Grecian gown, which she teamed up with a loose updo. Heidi Klum also opted for this designer, but unlike Kim, she went for a black mini frock, which showed off those super toned pins.
True Blood star Anna Paquin kept it smart and gave a nod to the 50s in an avant garde Alexander McQueen dress, and even Tina Fey, whose style can be somewhat, iffy, stepped up looking lovely in a fitted funky print Oscar de la Renta frock. Mad Max starlet Christina Hendricks stood out in a purple chiffon frock complete with feather detailed sleeves by Zac Posen and Brit babe Emily Blunt also channelled this colour with a cute asymmetric long dress complete with jewel detailing.
January Jones, who is well known for her quirky style, didn’t disappoint with an electric-blue Versace frock with Madonna-style cone-bra cups and a mullet skirt, while Claire Danes looked sophisticated in a sparkly Armani Prive straight frock.
Black was also a trend for a few celebrities with both Eva Longoria and Kelly Osbourne opting for sleek, yet sophisticated black mermaid frocks in this staple colour.
View the gallery below for all the star style of the night.

The autumn weather already seems to have hit the UK, forcing us to replace our flip-flops and gladiator sandals with boots and waterproof shoes. If you, like me hadn’t anticipated to be donning that A/W wear quite so soon, you’ll sympathise when I tell you I had to track down my last season footwear becuase I hadn’t yet decided what new season pairs to go for.
There’s a range of different styles to choose from this season. If you want to channel the designer look then leather ankle boots complete with fur lining, a la Burberry, are a great step in the right direction. If fur isn’t your thing then you could also opt for the lace up trend, which has already been channelled by celebrities including Taylor Momsen.
And if that still doesn’t appeal then fear not, because the traditional knee high boot is still lurking around. However, like with every season this has been given a slight revamp.
View the gallery below for my top five.

Celebrities are announcing pregnancies and giving birth faster than you can say stork.
Samantha Cameron gave birth earlier this month while the year has been filled with announcements from the likes of Danielle Lloyd, and most recently Lily Allen and Miranda Kerr.
However, while these lovely ladies may still be expecting, others such as Dannii Minogue and Claudia Schiffer are now experiencing the joys of motherhood with their bundles of joy. They join yummy mummies including Posh, Myleene Klass, Katie Price (come on we’ll give her a yummy mummy nod) and Angelina Jolie who come under the yummy mummy category.
We’ve put together a gallery of pregnant celebrities and yummy mummies.

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.
Warning: Some photos may shock you.
