Our favourite Eastender’s lady made us all very happy when she tumbled back onto Albert Square last year. Not only because she bought along Alfie (or Shane Ritchie) but also because it gave us a chance to laugh at the garish Kat Slater fashions.
And there was an extra treat with Kat being heavily pregnant meaning leopard print skirts and dresses were stretched across a big bump, while bodycon frocks also made an appearance – I actually have one of these maternity numbers shoved at the back of the wardrobe because my OH cast similarities between myself and this soapstar when I proudly modelled it.
However, off screen actress Jessie Wallace is completely different to her fiendish fashion character, opting for long elegant or girly frocks.
She’s a fan of the 50s and Grecian style looks, as well as skyscraper heels. Off the red carpet Jessie is a casual girl at heart with a love of denim and on-trend biker chic – perhaps I’ll go for this look once my bump arrives.

Lady Gaga is a creative “inspiration” according to the Polaroid chairman.
The eccentric singer was named as creative director of the company last year and while the appointment was greeted with disbelief in some areas, chairman Bobbie Sager believes the products Gaga has worked on – including the GL20 camera sunglasses which can take videos and play them back as you wear them – show it was a wide decision to bring her on board.
He said: “For the 21st century, you can’t just think out of the box. You have to crush the box. That’s where Lady Gaga comes in. She’s not just a spokeswoman. She’s the creative director. On any of these products, she’s the inspiration and she’s been in several long technical meetings.”
Along with designing sunglasses, Gaga also has plans to release her own range of fragrances in 2012 after signing a deal with cosmetics firm Coty Inc. last year and even hopes to design her own clothing collection.
She said: “I can’t wait to do my own line. It’s definitely something I want to do in the next year, as I do have my own style. I’m already talking to my boy Akon about it.”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was told to lose weight by fashion bosses when she first became a model.
The stunning 24-year-old model and actress has never worried about her weight and was shocked when she was advised to work out if she wanted to succeed in her chosen career.
She said: “I can’t remember a time where I really battled with my body, but I can remember being asked to lose weight and battling with the advice.
“It hurt me. Especially as my baby fat naturally melted away as I got older.
“When I started out, I was definitely heavier. I was quite voluptuous in fact. I had a real baby face and baby fat.
“But I was a baby! I was told I had to get into better shape, but I’m quite stubborn so I didn’t.”
Although Rosie admitted she now loves working out she claims she does so for energy rather than to stay in shape.
She told Britain’s Elle magazine: “I don’t just work out to stay slim, I work out because it takes a lot to be on a plane and be jet-lagged all the time. Same with being on a film set for months.”

Dame Helen Mirren has topped a list of Hotter Than Ever Women Over 50.
The 65-year-old actress – who is renowned for her enviable figure – was named number one in the study by home shopping retailer for 50-plus women, isme.com beating off competition from 61-year-old model Twiggy and actress Joanna Lumley, 64, who placed second and third in the list.
Singer Lulu, 62, Kim Cattrall, and actress and director Emma Thompson, 52, were also voted into the top 10.
However, Helen is unlikely to be too impressed with the accolade, recently revealing she hates when people focus on her looks.
She said: “We have to let go of this c**p. It creates even more pressure on women, and I certainly don’t want to be a part of that. I’m not beautiful; I clean up nice.
“Why don’t we talk about the fact, for example, that I just did ‘Arthur’, and the cinematographer was a woman, the film operator was a woman, the whole camera team were women? That’s where we should be putting our attention. The fact that I look good at the age I am is bloody irrelevant.”

Jessie J would rather be comfortable than sexy.
The ‘Price Tag’ hitmaker – who is openly bisexual – insists she doesn’t wear tight catsuits on stage to project a raunchy image, but chooses them because they fit well on her body.
She said: “I’m not very confident actually, I’ve never been like that. That’s just not the kind of person I am.
“I don’t wear catsuits to be sexy. It’s funny, people say to me, ‘Your stuff is so sexual’ but here I am in a long-sleeved catsuit covering everything.
“Fashion should be about what makes you comfy and I like dressing like a superhero.”
The ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ singer loves having “fun” with her wardrobe but knows there are certain looks that don’t suit her.
She added to more magazine: “I think it’s fun to dress up with the earrings and lipstick and big shoes. I’ve always been someone who loves bold things.
“I could never go on stage in a pink frilly dress – that’s not going to fit with my music or me.”

Celebrity fitness instructor Mark Anthony claims a butt like Pippa Middleton’s can be achieved by walking differently.
The exercise expert – who has counted ‘Harry Potter’ actress Bonnie Wright, glamour model Katie Price, and singer-turned-actress Billie Piper amongst his clients – insists there are small lifestyle changes that can be made in everyday life in order to achieve a perfectly-toned behind like the much-admired sister of Princess Catherine.
Mark said: “You can achieve a pert ‘Pippa’ bottom by making a few adjustments to your daily routine. When you’re walking to work, take long strides, squeeze your glutes and keep your abs tight and firm.
“When you’re sitting behind a desk, throw your shoulders back and keep your abs lovely and tight. If you can try and keep to this posture when you eventually stand up you engage your glutes every single time. So technically you`re firing up the muscles in your bum every time you stand up at work!”
Mark – whose recent work has involved helping to launch the new Solero Explosions lolly by getting British reality TV star Jessica Wright in shape ahead of her holiday – also urged those wanting to get in shape for the summer to drink more water and eat small, regular meals.
He added: “By consuming at least two litres of water a day this will help you flush out the excess water retention that your body is holding.
“Smart eating is key to maintaining your energy levels. Make sure that you are eating small regular meals throughout each day and never miss breakfast. Reduce the amount of salt in your diet and try to limit alcohol to weekends. Always include a light snack in between breakfast and lunch and between lunch
“Don’t be afraid to reward your hard work occasionally with a treat – there are only 90 calories in a delicious Solero Explosion, so you can indulge without the guilt.”

Jessica Simpson doesn’t think she could “top” the wedding of Prince William and Princess Catherine.
The 30-year-old singer – who is engaged to marry former NFL player Eric Johnson – admired what the Duchess of Cambridge wore for her nuptials at London’s Westminster Abbey on April 29, but is not going to compete with her in the style stakes.
She said: “I absolutely adore Kate’s dress. I thought she looked absolutely beautiful, there’s no bride that can top a royal wedding.
“I’m not going to be wearing the same kind of thing, but it will be beautiful in its own right.”
Jessica, who was previously married to singer Nick Lachey, was also praised by her new partner Eric, who added he thought she was “beautiful”.
He told ‘Access Hollywood’: “She’s just a regular, grounded, down to earth person and I like it. Beautiful, beautiful.”
The blonde beauty recently revealed she wanted to lose some weight prior to her big day.
She said: “I have a date – I’m really excited!”
“I am going to dance around my bedroom and hopefully lose some weight – and lift some weights and do what I can!”

Lady Gaga once had a threesome.
The eccentric singer – who has revealed she is bisexual in the past – admits she has previously slept with two people at once, but refused to give any details, including the gender of the participants.
Asked if she had a “three-way”, she replied: “Umm, well I suppose I have, yes. I don’t want to reveal too much. I just can say the truth. ”
The ‘Judas’ hitmaker recently appeared on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in a threesome-themed sketch with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg, and added the pair were very nervous about asking her to take part.
She told Detroit radio station Channel 955′s ‘Mojo in the Morning’ show : “Justin was like, ‘Umm, so, umm, we have a skit idea and umm, well, I’m not really good at this I’ll have Andy tell you. Then Andy came and was like, ‘Well, umm, bluh blah we have this skit idea.’
“Then they both came in finally and they told me the story and I’m like, ‘Guys I get it.’ They’re like, ‘We really like each other.’ I just said ‘OK’. Finally, I finally got it out of them.”
Gaga – who announced earlier this month she had split from boyfriend Luc Carl – also revealed yesterday she is into older men “over 60″, especially when she comes to the UK.
She said: “I don’t like to go to nightclubs, so whenever I go out in the UK I will go to a pub and drink with some old guys. I suppose I do prefer older men, especially when I’m drinking. Definitely over 60… I like to have a pint and a whiskey.”
