Alexa and Alex in happier times back in 2008
It’s bad news for one of Britain’s coolest couples, as news has reached our ears that young fashion icon Alexa Chung and Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner have decided to end their much-publicised relationship.
We were surprised to hear this – we’ve always thought the couple seemed so solid – but reports have surfaced that the couple have been rowing recently and decided that enough was enough. It’s said to be a sad but happy split, as the pair say that they hope to stay friends.
Having said that, it’s hardly surprising that the two have drifted apart with their hectic schedules, as Alex is frequently on the road with his bands and Alexa has a full diary for the summer as she settles down to work in New York.
For the four years that they’ve been together, Alex and Alexa have been known as one of the UK’s coolest and most well-shod couples, appearing at pretty much every festival worth being seen at in his n’ hers festival fashion.
It’s sad news, but good luck to the couple – we don’t think that either of them will have much trouble finding love again once they’re ready to get back on the celebrity dating scene.

Yasmin gets to work and play at the same time: the DJ teams a sexy bustier with short shorts and a fresh 90s printed shirt for this promotional picture
Scottish singer/DJ Yasmin has been flickering on and off my style radar for a while now – I first read about her in Wonderland a few months ago where the prolific fash-mag gushed about her talents and how she’s destined for big things. Since seeing that piece it seems like the dark-haired beauty has been quietly popping up everywhere, at festivals, parties and events, and I think it’s about time that ShinyStyle shone the spotlight on the DJ’s cool, eclectic dress sense.
Her style is just like her music- fresh, exciting and youthful with more than a nod to 80s and 90s electro. We love how Yasmin crams different influences together for a style that is completely her own, mixing grunge, vintage and modern futuristic styles for the perfect party look. Even if you’re not a DJ club-hopper like Miss Yasmin herself, you can take a leaf from her book and mix your styles together to look like you are.
Yasmin’s tipped to be a big star in the charts, but we have a feeling that it won’t be long before she’s spotted in the front row at Fashion Week, either. Keep an eye out for this girl – I know ShinyStyle will be. Want to know more about her? Check out her site, Yasmin’s World, to check out her remixes, mix-tapes and blog updates (she’s a big fashion lover as well as a hot-shot music gal).
To check out some of Yasmin’s best looks so far, check out the gallery above.

Stella McCartney looked sleek and sophisticated as always in a vintage-feel butterfly top and grey skinny jeans
It’s a good time to be Beyonce right now. Fiercer and more on top of her fashion game than ever, everyone has been talking about her incredible headlining performance at Glastonbury on Sunday (if you didn’t see it look it up on Youtube RIGHT NOW – the woman was phenomenal).
Which is why yesterday’s launch party for her new album, 4, was a cool and eclectic mix of celebrities all there to mingle and celebrate their love of Miss B. From fashion designers to DJs and pop stars and beyond, everyone was there.
Representing the fashion world alongside Julien McDonald was Stella McCartney, looking sleek and graceful in a pretty and retro sequinned butterfly top with skinny jeans and a simple tan clutch. Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Parisian society girl, was also there looking stunning in an understated lace dress with her hair drawn back in a ballerina bun.
Less low-key was Paloma Faith in a theatrical feather-hat and a pair of the tiniest shorts we’ve ever seen, but are we surprised? No, not really. We love Paloma’s complete inability to dress appropriately for an event – it makes her a joy to write about. We have to say that she was flaunting some curves to rival Beyonce herself.
As for musical talent, there was a cool and diverse mix of different artists and styles present. We were surprised to see that Kills singer, Alisson Mosshart was there – who’d have known she was a Beyonce fan? (But then again, who isn’t?) Anyway, she looked cool in a low-key band shirt and black denim teamed with a slouchy denim-look shirt, an outfit that set off her shaggy black mane perfectly. Also there rocking a more laid-back look was up-and-coming Scottish DJ Yasmin, who’s already played Glasto this summer and is tipped to be a chart star, looking pretty and understated in some sawn-off dungarees and hot-pink wedges to set off her post-festival tan. We’re going to be watching this girl’s style from now on.
Meanwhile, pop’s divas were out in full force as well. Jade from the Sugababes was spotted at the launch looking amazing in an unbelievably short digital-printed cocktail dress with studded cut-out patterns. We have to find out where that dress is from! It worked perfectly against sexy evening makeup and some soft 70s-inspired waves.
And last but certainly not least, Alexandra Burke made an appearance wearing a simple knitted dress that gave a nod to the latest folk and 70s trends. A perfect summer outfit that rounds off today’s “Spotted” gallery perfectly. To see all the stars at Beyonce’s album launch party, check out the images above.

Lily Allen has been spending her honeymoon in Paris.
The pop star and her new husband Sam Cooper have enjoyed a visit to the French capital where they have shopping and dining out before they head to the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, South West England, for the second leg of their post-wedding holiday.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lily’s been really chilling out after the stress of organising the wedding.
“They shopped in Zara and Chanel on Tuesday (21.06.11) and had dinner at Chez Dumonet in the evening.”
However, Lily – who is pregnant – has admitted Paris was not her first choice of honeymoon destination.
She wrote on her twitter page: “Paris was not my1st choice, but I’ve been advised not to fly by doctors, and it’s about as exotic as one can get without doing so (sic)”
The ‘Not Fair’ singer also complained about the paparazzi who followed her around Paris.
In another tweet, she revealed: “Really enjoying the Parisian papparazzis presence on my honeymoon. Thank god we didn’t want to go for a romantic stroll as husband and wife. (sic)”
Lily and Sam will arrive at Glastonbury over the next couple of days and the pair have spent £8,000 on a VIP yurt tent backstage at the festival.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “The yurts are magical and spiritual. They’re silk lined, romantic and the most luxurious and chilled out way to enjoy the festival.
“They come with a double bed covered with Egyptian cotton sheets, a champagne fridge, sheep-skin rugs and chandeliers. We even give our guests slippers. We want them to feel 100 per cent at home and happy.
“The yurts are so romantic. We can cover the beds with rose petals and they’re perfect for romantic star-gazing at night.”

Alexa Chung has moved on from the model and T4 presenter she once was, becoming a fully fledged style icon and trend setter. She’s become a popular face at fashion events, most notably Chanel, which she also chooses to wear on a regular basis, and she’s also not afraid to experiment.
At the Chanel SS2010 show in March this year Alexa opted for clogs, which instantly hit the highstreet after fashionistas fell in love with the footwear. She also braved the double denim look showing us how easy it is to follow the trend without looking like you’re stuck in the 80s.
And it doesn’t end there. Back in April eBay said it saw a rise in all Alexa’s fashion trends after the March edition of Vogue, ran a piece listing the starlet’s style. Dungarees, which Alexa wore with just a necklace, saw sales increase by 75 per cent in the days after the issue went on sale – and denim shorts, of which Alexa admitted she owned 10 pairs, saw sales jump 277 per cent on the auction site almost overnight.
Clogs – similar to the Chanel ones Alexa wore saw a similar sales hike, by just under 200 per cent, according to eBay. Showing how much we love her style.
But Alexa’s style is often born out of her eccentric sense and she often shuns “popular” styles for her trends. In the past this has included Tux’s and crochet frocks.
View our gallery below for all Alexa’s fashion styles and tell us what you think of her trends.

While festival goers danced the weekend away at Glastonbury the stars we’re also out in force enjoying the bands and showing off their festival fashion. And it seems denim shorts were the trend of the day. Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Emma Watson and Sienna Miller all went for these denim lovelies teaming them up with shirts, ankle boots, and in Sienna’s case an on-trend Trilby hat.
An off duty Kate Nash and Channel 4 presenter Jameela Jamil took the short trend that step further opting for high waisted versions of these. Kate teamed hers up with a loud top, while Jameela went for a sleek black top and sun hat.
On-stage Florence Welch opted for a white leotard with one shoulder detail before changing into a flowing boho style frock to enjoy the rest of the day, while Shakira went for her statement casual look, opting for jeans and a plain top for her stage performance.
Billie Piper was also spotted in a tribal style maxi dress, while Pixie opted for a short black number, which she teamed up with knee high socks.

Emma Watson and Pixie Geldof joined Glasto Festival goers today and also gave them a run for their fashion style (although we would expect them to considering the amount of money they have).
Emma looked casually glam in denim shorts and a corset brocade top. She finished of the look with over the knee boots. Pixie on the other hand opted for tiny black hotpants, sneakers and to the knee black socks. She completed the look with a cardigan complete with a train.
But it wasn’t just the stars that looked good. Like yesterday, revellers showed off their looks, which included flip-flops, denim shorts and nautical stripes, while others went for wellies (of course) and boho style tunics. We’ll be bringing you all the Glasto news on Monday with galleries of the acts and of course the trends. And don’t forget to send us your Glastonbury fashion photos for inclusion in a gallery.

Glastonbury ticket holders who still had to go into work today will be counting to Friday evening, where many will get ready to head to the festival. However, like with any mini break there’s always those last minute bits that need buying.
This could be anything from dry shampoo or face wipes to bigger things such as a waterproof coat or a straw hat, which has already been making trend waves at this year’s festival (see our gallery here for Glasto pics).
And then there’s the all important bag to consider too. So we’ve decided to put together a last minute Glastonbury must-have accessory gallery for those still panicking about this or for those who are thinking in advance for their time at V Festival, Creamfields or the other hundreds of festivals that are going on this summer.

The Festival season is right upon us and we know many of you will be hitting a field somewhere to hear all the tunes very soon. You’ve got the tickets, the tent and that dry shampoo but have you thought about your style?
Everyone knows that festivals and fashion go hand in hand whether it’s Glastonbury, V-Festival or a dance gathering such as Creamfields and despite the unpredictable weather it’s always a good idea to keep up with the trends.
We’ve therefore put together out top five festival must haves, which can be worn as outfits or separates and of course we’ve included those oh so important wellies too.
