Top five celebrities wearing Victoria Beckham dresses on the red carpet

By Andrea Petrou on February 7th, 2012

Victoria Beckham has achieved what many singers, actresses and models all desire. She’s created a successful fashion range, which is taken seriously by the style world.

Unlike many stars which have ventured into this industry hoping their name is enough to sell their ranges, Victoria has grafted hard to achieve her status as a respected designer, showing at New York fashion week and creating ranges we all want.

She’s also become a “must have” label for stars to be seen in on the red carpet. Last year Cheryl Cole showed her old pal some serious style satisfaction wearing a light pink creation on the Pride of Britain Awards red carpet.

However, she’s not the only one with the range grabbing the attention of Gisele Bundchen, Kate Winslet and most recently Michelle Williams who wore a short patterned number for the 2012 Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon.

See the gallery below for our top five celebrities wearing VB’s designs on the red carpet.

Cheryl Cole accepts the fact that she’ll never have a supermodel’s figure

By Andrea Petrou on December 23rd, 2011

Cheryl Cole has accepted the fact she will never have a supermodel’s figure.

The Fight for This Love singer is regularly voted one of the world’s sexiest women but she says she will never be blessed with the figure and height of someone like Gisesle Bundchen.

She said: “We all want to look like Gisele and look good in those sparkly leggings and then we wear them and don’t look good in them because that’s Gisele’s shape. We have to accept – well I have to accept – that I’m never going to be 6ft 2in. When you do that and start to dress for yourself and wear what makes you feel good, then you start to feel comfortable. It’s important to figure that out.”

Cheryl, 28, recently said she learnt the “hard way” with her fashion choices and has now accepted what suits her and what doesn’t.

She said: “It’s hard to know how to dress sometimes. I learnt the hard way that, just because something looks nice on someone else, it doesn’t mean it’ll work for your height, size and figure. I tried and failed miserably in my teenage years, but now I know to take things as inspiration and adapt them to work for me.”

Cheryl Cole compares her style to a “spaceship”.

By Andrea Petrou on December 15th, 2011

Cheryl Cole has compared her style to a “spaceship”.

The Parachute hitmaker admits her fashion choices change from day to day as she likes to try out different looks.

Asked to sum up her personal style, she said: “One day I want to be a hippy and the next day I want to be like a spaceship and then I want to be normal. So it’s different.”

Cheryl has recently created her first shoe line for website Stylistpick and admitted she is considering branching out into handbags in the future.

She told Stylist magazine: “Bags maybe in the future but definitely shoes to start with.”

The former ‘X Factor’ judge wanted to design a shoe collection because she believes footwear is the key to making an outfit work.

She said:” Shoes are a part of your outfit that can absolutely make it. You can be wearing a plain outfit – black jeans and a black vest – but if you have a banging pair of shoes on, you’ve got a cool outfit.

“So, it just feels like the perfect thing for me to do.”

Cheryl Cole owns 2,000 pairs of shoes

By Andrea Petrou on December 7th, 2011

Cheryl Cole owns 2,000 pairs of shoes.

The ‘Promise This’ hitmaker – who recently unveiled her first footwear collection through website Stylistpick – admits she has developed a “fetish” for shoes in recent years, and has to hoard pairs in her kitchen cupboards.

She said: “I’ve always, always loved shoes, but over the past few years, I’ve definitely developed a proper fetish.

“I actually own about 2,000 pairs – and that’s after giving quite a few away. I’m a bit weird with them. There are shoes I don’t wear any more but I just can’t part with them. I hoard them all over the house – in cupboards in the kitchen, in the bathroom, every room. There’s a big chance when you open the fridge in my house there will be a pair of shoes at the bottom.”

The 28-year-old beauty admits her opinion on footwear is a bit “bonkers” because she links all of them to memories past.

She told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “My absolute favourite are a lace pair of Louboutins. I wore them the first ever time I went to Cannes, two years ago. For me, all shoes have memories – wearing them on a certain occasion like that means the shoe gets that memory.

“If I can’t wear them again I also can’t get rid of them, because they are so linked to that emotion. I’m probably a bit bonkers like that.”

Cheryl Cole learnt the “hard way” with her fashion choices

By Andrea Petrou on November 21st, 2011

Cheryl Cole says she learnt the “hard way” with her fashion choices.

The Fight for This Love singer has experience a few style disasters over the years but has now accepted what suits her and what doesn’t.

She said: “It’s hard to know how to dress sometimes. I learnt the hard way that, just because something looks nice on someone else, it doesn’t mean it’ll work for your height, size and figure. I tried and failed miserably in my teenage years, but now I know to take things as inspiration and adapt them to work for me.”

While Cheryl, 28, enjoys wearing different clothes, she hates going shopping for them and would prefer to buy stuff online.

She told Britain’s InStyle magazine: “When you go in the dressing rooms, why do they always have the worst lighting. You come away feeling down, you don’t buy anything and it’s actually not what you look like. And the mirrors! I think they should spend more time and money on them.”

Cheryl Cole wants her own perfume

By Andrea Petrou on November 14th, 2011

Cheryl Cole wants her own perfume.

The Fight for This Love singer – who is designing her own shoe collection – says she would love to have her own fragrance as smelling nice has always been important to her.

She said: “I always douse myself in perfume. I’m known for it in this industry. People say, ‘Cheryl must have worn this dress’, just because it smells of perfume. You can smell me coming down the red carpet.

“It’s a dream of mine to have my own fragrance, but I would want to do it my way.”

Cheryl, 28, also revealed how she takes good care of her skin although doesn’t always get a good night’s sleep.

She told Britain’s InStyle magazine: “I always make sure I take my make-up off as I hate waking up to find mascara on the pillow. I wear SPF30+ in the sun and I cleanse and moisturise – the simple things. I’m not a good sleeper and can function on about four hours.”

Cheryl Cole’s malaria battle “opened” her eyes to healthy living

By Andrea Petrou on November 8th, 2011

Cheryl Cole’s malaria battle “opened” her eyes to healthy living.

The former X Factor judge caught the disease after visiting Africa last year with then-boyfriend Derek Hough, and although she was in hospitalised she insists it did benefit her as it made her focus more on the important things in life.

She said: “It opened my eyes to health and things I hadn’t focused on before. It’s now less about work, work, work and more about taking time to chill and be with my friends and family.”

The 28-year-old singer was left bed-ridden by the effects of malaria and she has revealed the disease “ate away” her muscles and turned her complexion yellow.

In an interview with InStyle magazine, she said: “I was yellow because of my kidneys – it was a bit like jaundice. It was hard to find a matching foundation, let me tell you!

“I had to take good care of myself and I was told to stop exercising and to gain weight to get well. I just ate everything.”

Meanwhile, Cheryl is planning a girly holiday with her Girls Aloud bandmate Sarah Harding after the blonde star completes her rehab treatment in the US.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Cheryl has been there for Sarah massively. They’ve had some heartfelt conversations on the phone. Cheryl can identify with Sarah because she’s hit rock bottom in the past too.

“It’s been a long time since they’ve spent real quality time together so they’ve decided to jet off for a break. They thought America will be best as they can slip under the radar out there. Obviously it will be a wholesome holiday.”

Cheryl Cole visits Sarah Harding in rehab

By Andrea Petrou on November 2nd, 2011

Cheryl Cole has visited Sarah Harding in rehab.

The ‘Promise This’ singer is “pulling out all the stops” to help her Girls Aloud bandmate – who checked into an American treatment facility in Arizona earlier this month to receive help for depression and alcohol addiction – and the brunette beauty has even invited her to stay at her Los Angeles home to escape from the UK when she checks out.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “Cheryl is really concerned for her friend Sarah. She made time in her busy schedule to travel over to Arizona and visit her in the rehab centre.

“Cheryl feels really passionate about alcohol and drug abuse after years of worrying about her drug addict brother Andrew.

“She has told Sarah she is more than welcome to use her LA home as an escape pad when she comes out of rehab. A bolt-hole where Sarah can chill out and escape the London limelight and maybe try to save her relationship with Tom.”

Sarah – who called off her engagement to DJ Tom Crane in the summer – has reportedly extended her stay in rehab and is unlikely to be out in time for Christmas.

Girls Aloud member Kimberley Walsh recently revealed 29-year-old Sarah is doing “really well” on the programme.

She explained: “I don’t want to go into detail about Sarah, but she’s doing really well.”

Cheryl Cole wants to create her own fashion line

By emilyborrett on September 21st, 2011

What is it about celebrities wanting to have a little bit of a go at absolutely everything these days? First we have Katie Price turning her hand to editor as she launches a magazine that is, hilariously, all about her, and now Cheryl Cole has revealed that her new shoe collection has inspired her to turn to fashion design.

Cheryl, who’s just launched her new shoe collection with the website StylistPick.com, said when asked about a potential foray into fashion: “Do you know what? I wouldn’t rule it out, actually. I have loved designing these shoes. I haven’t enjoyed a project so much in a long time. So, yes, it might be the start of something.”

To me there’s something mildly annoying about celebrities trying to turn their hands to creative industries such as fashion – other popular celebrity sidelines being acting, writing novels and perfumes – as if all the auto-tuning and clever styling that these people have has made them suddenly believe their own hype. Or am I just being mean about Cheryl Cole? Maybe I am just grumpy today.

Who knows if Cheryl has it in her to be a fashion designer. Maybe, just maybe, she will be like Victoria Beckham and amaze us. But then again, maybe it will just be crap.
