Tabitha Somerset Webb wants Duchess Catherine to wear one of her Project D designs.

By Andrea Petrou on December 14th, 2011

Tabitha Somerset Webb wants Duchess Catherine to wear one of her Project D designs.

The 36-year-old fashion designer – who co-created the clothing line alongside Dannii Minogue – is thrilled that Pippa Middleton has worn their pieces on two occasions this year, and is hopeful her older sister will soon follow suit.

She said: “Pippa has been amazing. It’s so flattering that she has chosen to wear our dresses. She looks gorgeous in them. She’s very much a Project D girl – elegant, classy and sexy.

“Now it would be great if her sister Kate wore one of our designs, too.”

However, Pippa – who wore Project D gowns to a friend’s wedding in September and to a recent charity event – is not the only royal fan of the line, as Tabitha explained Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have also worn her creations to public functions.

Tabitha added in an interview with HELLO! magazine: “Princess Beatrice wore our red Crystal dress to Prince Philip’s 90th birthday party and Eugenie ordered our floral Lily gown for another private event.”

Dannii Minogue refuses to throw away handbags

By Andrea Petrou on December 7th, 2011

Dannii Minogue refuse to throw out her handbags.

The Australian beauty says she won’t get rid of her designer bags, unless they are damaged, because she will always find a use for them.

She said: “I was on a 10-week waiting list for my beaded bag years ago, and it cost a bomb. I still love it. Unless handbags are damaged, it feels like sacrilege to chuck them. If you loved them once, you’ll surely have occasion to use them again.”

As well as investing in designer handbags Dannii, 40, is a huge fan of good quality luggage as it can last for ages and ages.

She told Britain’s Glamour magazine: “My Louis Vuitton roller bag was a 30th birthday gift, and it still looks brand new. I use it on every single flight I take. I can pack so much stuff in it and it takes the weight off my shoulders.”

Kate Hudson is Dannii Minogue’s summer style icon

By Andrea Petrou on July 11th, 2011

Kate Hudson is Dannii Minogue’s summer style icon.

The Australian star loves the “relaxed” look of the ‘Fool’s Gold’ actress – who gave birth to a baby boy over the weekend – and says the blonde beauty is the ideal poster girl for her Project D fashion line.

She explained: “Kate Hudson is our Project D icon for relaxed boho summer chic.

“She makes me want to run around in a maxi dress on an island, and dream of looking as healthy and relaxed as she seems to be 24/7.”

Dannii is also an admirer of ‘Horrible Bosses’ actress Jennifer Aniston and the newest member of the British royal family, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

She explained: “Jennifer Aniston always has the ultimate glowing summer skin, year round. How does she do it?

“We all want to look as good as Catherine does in a bikini – and if we did, that’s all we would wear.”

Dannii plans to take inspiration from Kate when she hosts a barbecue this summer.

She told Britain’s Glamour magazine: “The 1970s are huge this season, and a 70s-style maxi dress with flip-flops is the perfect combo for outdoor entertaining.

“The flats are ideal for drifting around the garden on a sunny afternoon and you can hitch up your dress while sitting on the lawn to get some sun on your legs.”

Dannii Minogue thinks more dresses need to “flatter” arms

By Andrea Petrou on June 30th, 2011

Dannii Minogue thinks more dresses need to “flatter” arms.

The Australian star works on her own fashion line Project D with friend Tabitha Somerset Webb, and although she has no technical experience, the sexy singer does believe she knows what works to help women feel their best.

She said: “I have worn dresses in the glare of public scrutiny. I know how a great dress needs to work.

“I want to know, for example, what is it with designers and sleeves? Why is it so hard to buy a dress that flatters your arms?”

However, the 39-year-old star admit she was not completely confident when she decided to wear a Project D dress on the UK version of ‘The X Factor’ for the first time because she had only just given birth to first baby Ethan with British hunk Kris Smith.

She told Grazia magazine: “The first time I wore Project D on the show I was so nervous. It was the Jingle dress – fitted, knee-length, full skirt – very ‘Mad Men’.

“I’d only just had a baby and had completely changed shape. I felt so insecure.”

By Andrea Petrou on April 15th, 2011

It’s been a week of fancy frocks and casual wear as celebrities have been spotted at events and out and about.
Flying the flag for fancy frocks was Kylie Minogue who looked stunning in a lace cream dress, while Neve Campbell stood out at the Scream 4 Premier in black.

And the LBD seemed to be the style du jour this week with Amanda Seyfried, Anne Hathaway and Peaches Geldof all sporing this look.
Keeping in with the navy blue trend was Kate Middleton who opted for a not so fashionable look of a knee length pencil skirt and jacket, while Emma Roberts showed us how to work this colour is a cute halterneck frock.
Also standing out was Paris Hilton who went for a bright floral number, while Dannii Minogue went all casual yummy mummy on us with a nautical top and jeans.

Gallery: Dannii Minogue 1990 – 2010

By Shiny writer on July 28th, 2010

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.

Gallery: A celebration of the yummy mummy

By emilyborrett on July 7th, 2010

On Monday, Dannii Minogue and her male-modelling beau Kris Smith became the proud parents of a healthy baby boy named Ethan Edward Smith. With parents that good-looking, little Ethan could grow up to be a potential rival in looks to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s huge brood. Dannii has certainly looked blooming throughout her pregnancy, putting other mothers-to-be to shame by looking impeccably put together every time she’s been papped out and about.

She is just one of the many women in Celebrity Land who still look gorgeous even when they’re about to pop. I hope that I’ll look that good when I eventually get preggers, but it doesn’t seem likely. I expect I’ll be the more common breed of pregnant woman – spotty, puffy-faced and sobbing into a family-sized bag of Doritos. It’s a far cry from the likes of other yummy mummies such as the ever-beautiful Claudia Schiffer and Stella McCartney, who have managed to look incredible throughout their pregnancies despite being the size of a house.

In celebration of all-round yummy-mumminess, here’s a gallery of some of the most stylish mothers-to-be around.
