Adele wants to be styled by Burberry for awards season
The singer Adele has admitted that she’s dying to have Christopher Bailey, creative director of Burberry, style her for the next upcoming awards season.
Adele is already having a major fashion moment right now, having just made the cover of UK Vogue – but we think seeing the singer decked out in Burberry would be the icing on the cake. Apparently, they’re already planning a style collaboration. Oh, to be a celebrity…
The Someone Like You singer told Vogue: “I love old school. Chanel, Prada, you know. And Burberry, definitely. I’ve met Christopher Bailey a few times. He’s definitely going to dress me for the next lot of awards – if I’m nominated. I’ve always loved Burberry. I remember saving for three years to get my first bag before I got signed. Five hundred quid, I think it was, made of canvas with the logo like a satchel.”
Okay, now I’m just gonna put something out there. Burberry, if you get bored of styling Adele, I’d also like to be styled by you for awards season. I know I won’t be invited or anything – just something beautiful to wear while I watch it on TV, really… No? Oh, okay then.

Brits special: Worst dressed
An awards round-up wouldn’t be complete without a worst dress list and although many celebs were dressed to impress last night, there were the few that didn’t quite hit the mark in terms of style.
First on our list was ‘Critics Choice’ winner Ellie Goulding who accepted her award in an 80s puff shouldered lace green top tucked into a skirt. In theory this look should have worked, it gave a nod to the 80s trend, and wasn’t offensive like some outfits we’ve seen, but it failed to hit our style mark.
Courtney Love’s evening frock over a white shirt also means she makes it onto our worst dress list as does Daisy Coburn of Daisy Dares, who looks more like she should be going to bed than to awards evening in this tatty pink frock. And if you must wear this out Daisy please don’t match it up with black shoes.

Brits special: Kylie Minogue disappoints in gypsy style frock
Kylie Minogue has been a fashion inspiration to us ever since we were old enough to say denim.
She’s gone from girl next door style to a style maker in her own right, (who can forget the snood?).
However, we were really disappointed with the singer’s choice of frock for last night’s Brit Awards.
Kylie donned a long black gypsy style dress, and the floaty look did nothing to suit her gorgeous figure. We also think the black sleeves made her look more witch than kitsch.
Let us know what you think of Kylie’s dress by leaving your comments below.
Brits special: The white dress trend
There’s always a few trends that stand out at an awards evening and the Brit awards last night were no different highlighting a number of these.
Although it was a dreary February night many attendees opted for a traditionally summer white to make them stand out.
Geri Halliwell and Mel B were just two of these, choosing to collect their awards in short white frocks. The colour made a change to Geri’s famous union jack frock, which she famously wore to perform in many years ago.
Newest Sugababe member Jade also sported a white, albeit questionable, frock, while Cheryl Cole went for a white mac for her stage perfromance of “Fight for this Love”.
Brits Special: Lily Allen goes gothic but later dons an orange wig
It seems wigs were the accessory du jour at last night’s Brit awards, with Lily Allen following Lady Gaga’s steps with this trend.
The “Smile” singer looked stunning on the red carpet in a long black PVC frock, which, teamed up with the red detailing across the front and Lily’s heavy eye make-up really gave a gothic look.
The star kept the PVC theme going for her stage performance donning a bodysuit with lace sleeves, before slipping into something more demure for the rest of the evening.
However, the main surprise to her look was the orange wig she had on when she went up to collect her award for British Female Solo Artist. She later explained that she had put this on because she didn’t want to be spotted by the photographers scanning the room when she lost.
Brits special: Lady Gaga dedicates her performance to Alexander McQueen
Leona Lewis may have upped her funky fashion game, but everyone knows that when Lady Gaga is at an event, she’ll win the kooky outfit look hands down.
The singer, who dedicated a sombre stage performance to the late Alexander McQueen, turned heads on the red carpet when she walked into the event wearing a three-tiered white dress with a white pompadour wig and lacy mask.
Later on the frock came off to reveal a lace bodysuit, which the singer wore to collect all three of her awards including international categories for best female, best breakthrough act and best album for The Fame.
Kelly Rowland, Natasha Bedingfield and Rihanna work the short silver numbers at the Brit Awards
We love a good party dress, and by the looks of things so do these ladies. At the 2008 Brit Awards (think Grammys) last night Kelly Rowland, Natasha Bedingfield and Rihanna all address different trends with their short silver frocks. Rowland chooses feathers, which we must say never completely took off (har har), Bedingfield chooses a sparkly dress which may be our favorite, and Rihanna goes with a more ladylike, fitted dress with a bell skirt. It looks like she cut at least 5 inches off that skirt to show off her gams. I hope she doesn’t have to bend over to pick anything up. But I think Rihanna does win the best shoe prize for her dainty ankle strap pumps.
