Yesterday was the X Factor Press launch in London’s leafy Greenwich, and we couldn’t resist having a gander at the paparazzi photos to have another gawp at our new line-up of judges. Neither could we help staring long and hard at Tulisa Contostavlos’ new hair, which has acquired some yellowy stripy bits in it all of a sudden.
We all know that dip-dyeing (the ends of your hair being lightened for a surfer girl look) is a big hair trend at the moment, but we’re not sure about the streaky chunks of blonde at the top of Tulisa’s hair.. Maybe it’s just us but we thought that streaky hair was finally a thing of the past – but maybe that’s just us. Personally we preferred the N-Dubz singer’s dark chocolatey locks..
What do you think? Vote in the poll below to let us know whether you think Tulisa’s new dye-job is a do or a don’t.
We’re head over heels over Cate Blanchett’s Oscar dress, but we know it’s not to everyone’s taste.
Well known for her kooky style, Cate pulled off this stunning light lilac backless frock by Givenchy.
However, unlike many others the detailing didn’t stop there. Yellow beading formed the back straps of this chiffon number, while cut out detailing in the middle really made this frock stand out.
But tell us what you think. Is it a red carpet fab or red carpet flop?
Lady Gaga is no stranger to kooky fashion, in fact we’d even go as far as saying she’s the queen of funky clothes.
Therefore we shouldn’t really be that surprised with the choice of outfits that she wore for her concert in Philadelphia.
However, this white wedding style dress is niggling us.
We’re not sure why, afterall it’s hardly the piece of meat she wore a while back, it’s not PVC and posing a danger to her health and it’s not even THAT outrageous.
It may possibly be the fact that it doesn’t tie in with any of her other fashions, or that we would have expected her to wear something like this for her upcoming rumoured wedding.
However, we’re willing to give her a fair fashion trial so we’re opening up the floor t you.
Take a look at her outfit and then vote below to let us know.
Our Cheryl is famous for her chocolate-haired, lusciously doe-eyed look, so it was a massive surprise to see this photos today of her out and about right before the second week of live X factor rounds sporting new cranberry-coloured hair. On closer inspection it’s the exact same colour as her yummy leather handbag – I suppose that’s probably not why she dyed it though.
She’s had red tones to her hair before, but this is a shade of scarlet that could rival Storm Lee’s. In the past it’s been a colour that has only been favoured by the bravest of the brave when it comes to celebrity hair – think Rihanna and Florence Welch – but we at Shiny Style can predict that a lot of Chezza fans will be reaching for the Loreal home-kit hair dye now (which is, incidentally, what she used – if you want to get your hair this colour you can find it online here).
So what do you think? Do you like our Cheryl’s new plum-coloured locks or did you prefer her a more natural brown? Vote in our poll and comment below to let us know what you think.
As we touched on this morning, Julia Roberts is no sheep when it comes to fashion. Yesterday the actress opted for a white trouser suit for the London premier of Eat, Pray, Love, shunning the standard frocks often worn by A-listers on the red carpet.
However, this is most definitely not the first time Ms Roberts has stepped away from traditional style. The actress who has in the past caused a stir with her love of hairy armpits (we’re sorry Jules but we just can’t see the attraction of having a hairy wet rainforest growing out of our pits) and made her name in the much loved Pretty Woman film. However her outfits couldn’t be more different to her character here, instead bordering more on her Erin Brockovich personality.
Trouser suits, knee length shift dresses and casual jeans form staple parts of the actresses wardrobe and although she’s been spotted in a rare ball gown at some events, the actress seems more comfortable in androgenous suits, flats, long sleeved dresses and frocks that hide away that gorgeous figure.
But what do you think? Is Jules a style icon or is her fashion sense a little bit on the frumpy side. View the gallery and then vote below to let us know.
We know we probably shouldn’t be too surprised at Jordan’s latest outfit, after all, the model and business woman is well known for her body (and booby) flashing clothes.
However, we thought, being a mum and the sheer amount of criticism in the press, would have calmed her down. We obviously thought wrong, because judging by the outfit she wore to the Boutique iPod Range Photocall held at the Worx, it’s getting worse.
The suit, which looks like someone’s covered Ms<strike> Price</strike>, <strike>Andre</strike>, Reid in tin foil, ready to be put in the oven does nothing to flatter the model. And the skirt which gives a nod to the Hawian look makes her look like a space tourist on tour.
This is just our opinion so we want to hear what you have to say about this look. Leave your comments below to let us know.
She’s been spotted with it dyed pink and bright blonde and girl’s around the world have sported her trademark short cut.
But she’s also lucked out with a few styles, the mohican being one of them. And we’re not too sure about the star’s latest red colour. Yes it suits her funky fashion sense and makes her stand out from the rest of the pop crowd, but we can’t help thinking it may be a little bit too much.
We’ve therefore decided to get your opinion on this. Is it funky or a failure?
Kristen’s style and hair have become huge topics in the fashion world and last night the starlet really got everyone talking.
The actress who plays Bella in the Twilight Saga turned up on the New York set of the Late Show with David Letterman with a mane of ginger hair, which looked suspiciously shorter than her previously brunette locks.
She also once again showed off her fierce fashion style with a little black sleeved frock and skyscraper heels before quickly changing into another black frock with statement shoulders and PVC detailing for a screening of the upcoming Eclipse film at the Crosby Hotel in New York.
According to sources the new look is for her upcoming role in the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s ‘On the Road,’ but what do you think of her new barnet?

Rihanna’s style is one we like to talk about alot here at ShinyStyle. Sometimes she’s kooky, sometimes she shows us how fashion should be worn and other times she makes us feel better showing us that even the best people can make mistakes.
However we’re not too sure what to make of the outfit she wore when she arrived at Gimpo International Airport in Seoul, South Korea, where she is promoting her album ‘Rated R’.
Dressed in a military style coat over a denim waistcaot, the singer looks as though she’s tried to combine too many styles into one outfit. And while we understand the need to cover up hair after a long flight, we really can’t condone the military style baseball cap, which worn at a side angle looks as though it should be on the set of the Fresh Price of Bel-Air.

We’ve been banging on about underwear as outerwear for a while now, and we’ll be reviewing a corset set later on next week, after we’ve attempted to wear it as outerwear in a few clubs.
However, we’re still not 100% sure about the trend, which is has previously been sported by the likes of Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Britney Spears.
And these new pictures showing Lily Allen performing in a corset top made for underwear haven’t done much to settle our fashion minds.
The pop starlet, who is no stranger to this style, wore a tiny lace-covered corset, teamed with Chanel mock-stockings for a gig in Australia and although she pulls it off better than some celebs we still don’t know what to make of it.
What do you think about this trend? Does it work and would you wear it or do you think undies should remain firmly out of site? Let us know by leaving your comments below.
We’ve been split on Ugg boots and similar ever since Lauren bought the fashion to light in her column. Looking at the comments we received and the number of you who Twittered, it seems there’s a divide between those of us who define them as trend and those who think they are tragic.
So we want to get to the bottom of this. We’ve put together a gallery of boots for this year which, we think fall into the love them or hate them category. Take a look at the gallery by clicking on the picture below and then let us know your thoughts by voting.
Fur has made a comeback to the catwalk this year, with many designers showing off these fur sleeves and we know it’s now only a matter of time before this trend hits the high street. Although many stores will opt for fake fur to keep costs and protesting down, we think higher end stores will stock the real deal. We don’t have an exceptionally strong opinion on fur but we know many of you do so we want to hear from you. Vote below, and leave your comments and tell us what you think about real fur in fashion.
We’re not quite sure what we’re going to do with ourselves now that London Fashion Week has closed its runway doors for another season (sob).
It’s been an amazing week full of designs that have had us shivering with excitement and, at times, horror.
We know we’ll still be talking about the week for a long time to come, especially when high street stores begin bringing out replicas of the catwalk creations but one thing we don’t expect to ever be telling you about again is this caveman outfit by designer Jeremy Scott.
Now, we love the Flintstones look and think this dress looked amazing on the catwalk but we’re not sure we’d want to see any replicas of this hitting the high street anytime soon.
Or are we being too hasty? Would you like to see a similar style of this one-shouldered, neon orange prom-style dress modeled by Pixie Geldof? And would you wear it?
We’ve stayed away from the size zero debate so far now, but with London Fashion week (LFW) fast approaching we thought we’d bring out the classic debate of whether size zero models should be allowed on the catwalk.
This summer the British Fashion Council which organises LFW, has said that models should have to obtain a doctor’s certificate to prove their healthiness. The aim was to discourage eating disorders but other fashion capitals failed to follow London’s lead. As a result the British Fashion Council consequently abandoned its crusade. Hmmm not very good is it?
And the debate has even been picked up by celebrities. Earlier this month, model Caprice hit out at size zero models: ‘It’s horrible. I think the media should not even pay attention to these women,’ she told Now magazine.
‘It’s disgusting. I think it’s unwomanly and I think it’s unfeminine.’
Now Caprice is hardly what you would call curvy, but she’s not a twiglet either is she?
So we want to hear from you should size zero models be allowed on the catwalk? Vote now.
