The blue dress has been hanging around in the fashion wings, ever since Kate Middleton opted for this hue in the shape of her Issa engagement frock.
However, this season, this colour is really shining, becoming a key trend on both the red carpet and highstreet rails.
Katie Holmes showed how to wear this style for a daytime look, opting for a shirt style frock, while Diane Kruger took this look to smart levels with a 50s dress at Chanel’s haute couture show last week.
Giving a nod to Kate Middleton’s wrap frock was Rihanna and Emma Bunton, while Emma Stone showed how this hue could be bought bang up to 60s trend with a Peter Pan collar number.

We must admit we’ve had a bit of a girl crush on Adele for a while now. So when we saw her looking all glamorous and gorgeous when performing at the BRITs the other week, we couldn’t help but wish we kind of looked like her.
Adele has made the flirty 50s flick her trademark and we’re sure many ladies out there are wondering how they can copy the singer’s look for their own time in the spotlight – that’s every day, any day. Well wonder no more! With the help of international celebrity and bridal make-up artist Helen Kalli, here is a step-by-step guide on how to re-create Adele’s beautiful make-up (just scroll down below the image).
Face:
Firstly use Shu Uemura’s UV under base BB mousse £29 for smoothing out the skin and helps hold onto makeup.
Chanel ‘s Vital Lumiere Satin finish Foundation £33 is great for giving a dewy, fresh faced skin. It has a medium buildable coverage and works well when applied with a brush! This is giving Adele that beautiful fluid skin – perfection!
Always set your foundation with a translucent powder, I love Ben Nye colourless powder; this will give you longevity and a shine free face!
Eyes:
Apply Lancôme’s Ombre Absolute Momo Radiant Smoothing Eye shadow in Moonlight £16.50 all over the lid and under the brow, then use Laura Mercier’s Fresco on the crease to give definition.
Then use a gel liner like Maybelline’s Eye Studio Lasting Drama £5.99 to create a sultry feline eye. I would apply with a flat liner brush rather than a pointed brush, as this will help you to get a straight line. Always do the eye you find harder to do first, as this will help when matching them up!
Lash on with Eylure Naturalites False Eyelashes Glamour £5.35 for the ultimate red carpet finish!
Cheeks:
Use Shu Uemura’s Glow on Blush £9.75 Pearl Pink on the apples on the cheeks.
Brows:
Adele has perfectly groomed brows! This is key to frame the face. I would recommend using a powder as it gives a softer look and is easier to use rather than pencil. Laura Mercier’s Brow duos are fab!
Lips:
Use Chanel’s Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Lipshine in Aventure £23 Adele’s kept it soft which is perfect, but you could go for a soft red if you prefer!

Kate Middleton once again showed off her style on a trip to Fortnum & Mason yesterday.
The Duchess of Cambridge gave a nod to the impending spring in a blue chiffon dress, which she teamed up with Rupert Sanderson suede heels.
However, what really caught our eye was her stunning blue Missoni boucle coat, which she accessorised with a little daffodil.
We know that not everyone is lucky enough to splash that cash on a designer coat so we’ve scoured the highstreet to bring you some affordable alternatives.
Give a nod to one of this season’s hottest trends and go for a cobalt blue shade or go for a more casual take with an oversized boyfriend blazer.
If you’re a fan of the military trend why not opt for a double breasted alternative, or go for a high collar.
See our top picks in the gallery below.

If you’re a gal who likes to go subtle when it comes to your make up then the doll eyes look is a perfect AW 2011 compromise.
The make up as seen as Lanvin is all about the eyes, and its nature means you can use just about any type of eyeliner to get the look.
For dramatic eyes opt for a gel eyeliner to draw a thick line just at the outer third of the eyelid then use a finger to gently smudge the edges just beyond the eye. For a daytime look switch to either a kohl or crayon liner and finish with a huge dollop of mascara on both the bottom and lop lashes.
Those worried about going all natural can also use a foundation to even out skin tones, but keep it light.
See the gallery below on how to get the look.

If you want a make up look that will really make you stand out this season then you’ll love the subtle grunge look. The trend was all over the AW 2011 catwalks championed by both Vivienne Westwood and Vera Wang and goes perfectly with the 80s clothing trends that are hot at the moment.
To get the look you’ll need to focus mainly on the eyes to get a smokey look. Keep the foundation to a minimum and add a touch of girly frosted pink lippy.
See the gallery below for a masterclass on how to get the look as well as what make up to buy.

Sophie Cranston says Duchess Catherine has helped her business “enormously”.
The brunette beauty was seen wearing one of Sophie’s Libelula frock coats in January and the designer says she’s very grateful of the publicity she has given the label.
She told vogue.co.uk: “Kate has helped the business enormously. Through all the press we got, people abroad began to take notice. When she first wore it, our website crashed – it went up 2,000 per cent – and we actually has to get a better servers to make sure we could cope with number of enquiries. Since then, business has grown steadily – it’s impossible to maintain that level of interest, but it’s been quite constant. She has had an amazing effect on the label. Kate looks pretty good in anything. She is fairly representative of the people that buy the brand, but we hope Libelula appeals to a wider demographic. She’s a pretty nice person to have wearing your designs though.”
Sophie also revealed how Libelula’s clothes suit most women because of the way the clothes are made.
She said: “This winter a black lace and wool dress I created just flew off the shelves. I think it was to do with the flattering shape – something I always focus on – and the contrasting fabrics. I always think about boobs and bottoms; clothes should be flattering. A lot of shapes are initially cut in a size 14-16, so that everyone looks gorgeous in them.”

As we’ve said numerous times throughout our Halloween Costume Ideas series there are sexy and fashionable ways to turn up to party.
You don’t have to go in full traditional zombie bride attire, nor do you have to cake on that make up to get that demonic look.
Last week we gave you a few pointers on how to be a fashionable devil and today it’s the turn for wannabe witches. You’ve got that sexy witch dress but covering your face with green paint and a hairy mole at the end of your nose won’t do you any favours.
Instead why not look for an obvious, yet subtle alternative. View the gallery below to get some tips on how to bewitch those eyes. Add black lipstick and you’re all set to go.

Not only has period drama Downton Abbey taken over our Saturday nights, it’s also filtering into our wardrobes. That’s right we’re all going early 20th Century mad with feathers, fur capes and elbow length gloves all becoming must-haves as we all strive to take some influences from the show.
And lets not forget the period hats, velvet jackets, corsets and Victorian boots that are also flying off the shelves. We know that sometimes it’s hard to find the time to scour those vintage shops to get those gorge originals so we’ve hit the highstreet to help you find those must-have pieces that will have you looking all Crawley like without having to do any of that hard work.
See the gallery below.

Fearne Cotton was already nailing next season's pastel trend at LFW in a pretty lilac maxi dress with contrasting fuschia lips and leopard-print heels. Who knew it would work so well?
We love how when LFW rolls around, absolutely all the celebrities make a huge effort – even if they try to act all “oh, this old thing?” about their outfits when they’re there. Everyone’s favourite annoying radio presenter Fearne Cotton is no exception, as she wafted in to London Fashion Week yesterday to show off her new collection of designs for Very.co.uk in a gorgeous lilac maxi (we have to find out where she get it from).
Clever Fearne may just be the absolute queen of contrasting different shades and colours – after all, lilac is not the easiest colour to co-ordinate – but the tattooed nostril-ed one pulled it off with an elegant vintage bob and a plummy fuschia lipstick to contrast with the sugary tones of her dress. Adding a rock and roll twist were a pair of perfect leopard-print heels on her feet, which were teamed with a zinging yellow pedicure for a fun, playful look. We love.
We can’t find the maxi that Fearne wore (WHERE IS IT FROM??? I NEED IT!!), but there are still plenty of lilac beauties available on the high street that are great for a girlie party look. The star of this gallery, though, has to be Topshop for it’s amazing make-up range, which offers a whole rainbow of different colours of nail polishes and lips – thanks to Toppers for making the perfect fuschia lipstick just like Fearne’s, which you can find in the gallery above.

Karen Gillian looked sultry at the 2011 TV Choice Awards in a crystal-detailed nude dress with simple accessories and smoky eye makeup
When it comes to the British TV Choice Awards, fashion-wise it’s usually a bit of a cringey affair (there’s not much you can say about Gail from Corrie’s wrap dress from Per Una) but yesterday there was one actress there that shone through for us: Doctor Who star Karen Gillan, who plays Matt Smith’s sexy assistant in the show.
We’ve been a fan of Karen’s style for a while because we like the way she mixes cool, tomboyish style with ultra-girly feminine twists, like yesterday where the clever girl teamed a crystal-encrusted peach shift dress with some simple, grungy jewellery, dark makeup and some mens-style patent loafers. She’s doing it Alexa Chung style, and we think she can pull it off.
We tried and tried in vain to find a replica of Karen’s dress on the high street, but we did find a very sweet nude-coloured tea dress from Topshop with the same girly, playful vibe as the actress’ and teamed it up with some uber-sparkly River Island jewellery to give the outfit the same sparkle. We’ve also found the perfect pair of patent women’s loafers too, on the Kurt Geiger site. Aren’t we good to you?
Check out the gallery above to get Karen Gillan’s TV Choice Awards look.

Keira Knightley rocked a perfect off-duty look in a chic navy shirt dress with vintage sunnies and tan leather accessories
One of the best things about glittery A-list events such as the annual Venice Film Festival is that we get to drool over all the stars’ red carpet outfits – and their off duty ones too. We were particularly taken with a snap we saw of Keira Knightley in a sweet, smart-casual navy blue shirt dress – oh so chic and ladylike. We love love love.
The 40s-style dress worked perfectly with Keira’s slender figure and cropped wavy bob. She looked like an old Hollywood star out on her way to lunch somewhere glamorous. The star teamed the classic, full-skirted shirt dress with leather accessories for an understated look, cinching the dress in at the waist with a skinny tan belt and fringed brown leather loafer heels by way of chic footwear. Rounding off the look was a simple gold necklace and some vintage-look sunglasses. Perfection!
We had a sly little looksie for pieces on the high street that you can find to copy Keira’s style – we’re completely in love with Jaeger’s quirky umbrella-print shirt dress which has a similar classic, ladylike vibe to Keira’s dress. We were also pleased to find a pair of tan loafer heels at River Island that are almost identical to the actress’ – get to the gallery above right now and check it out.

Rose Byrne's outfit for the "Late Show with David Letterman" was so perfect, we had to do a piece on it!
We’ve had our eye on “Bridesmaids” actress Rose Byrne for a while now, but we just loved her outfit she was papped in yesterday for an appearance on the “Late Show” that we had to do a piece on it.
The whole thing is just so chic and genius – the dark jewel colours of the leopard print are a modern update of a sexy classic, but the neat shift shape of the dress show off her tiny frame and keep the look from being OTT. Because the dress is such a statement, Rose cleverly went for simple and classic accessories, matching the black leather of her skinny belt that cinches in her waist to her black patent heels.
We’re a huge fan of dainty, understated jewellery right now, so it was nice to see Rose trying out the trend with a simple and delicate gold pendant. When we were looking for pieces to replicate Rose’s look we came across an amazing Egyptian-inspired gold pendant from Asos, which you can see in the gallery above.
We’ve also found a green leopard-print dress that is similar to Rose’s – but at a high-street price. Aren’t we good to you? Check out the gallery above to see how you can steal her style.

Red Chelsea Girl Print Jersey Dress
Jane Birkin is still one of our ultimate fashion icons, so I was excited today when I clocked this red Chelsea Girl dress (above) which is just so Birkin and bohemian. From the cool red folk-print to the thigh-skimming hemline and slight bell sleeves, this is 60s-inspired dressing at it’s best – it has a total Woodstock feel.
The dress is part of River Island’s revived Chelsea Girl line, which produces pieces inspired by the 60s era that the Chelsea Girl store was originally popular in. Also in the CG collection are brown suede hotpants, Missoni-style knits and Mick Jagger-esque blouses in eye catching shades of orange and red. We love everything in the range, but the red printed mini dress that we’ve featured has to be our absolute favourites.
Along with featuring the dress we’ve suggested a few pieces in the gallery that would go perfectly with it – just remember when styling a dress like this that Madam Birkin liked to keep things simple and carefree. Any accessories were chic, delicate and discreet. Our favourite piece to go with a dress like this is a good pair of Swedish Hasbeens; now we know that they’re not exactly cheap but a pair of their clog-style sandals are so European chic and will last forever. We also recommend with a dress like this that a simple vintage gold pendant is a pretty addition to an outfit that will compliment the folk-print of the mini dress perfectly – our favourite pendant is a pretty golden key from Nicole Richie’s jewellery line, House of Harlow, which you can find in the gallery above.
Check out the gallery to see our star buy, the red Chelsea Girl dress, along with pieces to make it an outfit.

Lady Gaga was spotted in NYC rocking the new season's 40s-inspired ladylike trend in a houndstooth skirt suit with matching accessories - we've never seen the singer look so demure
We were happily surprised to see this photograph of Madam Gaga’s take on Autumn/Winter’s 1940s-inspired ladylike trend (pictured above) – she’s been seen spotted out in NYC in a head-to-toe houndstooth Salvatore Ferragamo ensemble nipped in at the waist for a vintage feel. When the first lady of quirky fashion is all over a trend, you know it’s time to get in on the action.
Naturally we wouldn’t recommend you tackle the trend in quite the same way as Gaga, who unsurprisingly added a few of her bizarre fashion twists to make the look her own. She may be able to wear houndstooth sunglasses, but thats because she has minders to walk her everywhere – attempt that particular accessory and you will walk into a wall. The rest of it though is a solid look, and we’ve compiled a gallery of our favourite affordable ladylike pieces on the high street.
This trend is all about the feminine silhouette and opulent fabrics such as silk and brocade – perfect for girls who have a good waist. Belted tweed blazers, silk pussybow blouses and ladylike costume jewellery are an easy way to wear the trend and could be worn either in the day or the night.
What do you think of Gaga’s new look? Do you love it, or prefer her more risqué style? Let us know in the comments below, and check out the gallery above so that you can steal her style.
