The holidays have officially began, and many of you may have waited up until now to get away for a week or few days. If you’re like me and insist on taking nearly every summer piece in your wardrobe plus around 8 pairs of shoes for good measure (well you never know what situation you’re going to be in), then you’ll know how hard it is to find that perfect piece of travelling luggage.
Over the years highstreet store have wised up to fashionista’s needs creating funky bags to make them stand out from the rest of the holiday crowds, and on the baggage collection belt, without having to spend a fortune on celebrity and WAG style
cases.
ShinyStyle picks out the top 5
Yesterday the stars were once again out for various events across the country. Notably the Elephant Parade auction held at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, which saw the model elephants, which have been scattered around the capital, being auctioned off for charity.
Liz Hurley attended the event in a pink long frock while Goldie Hawn also made an appearance in a gorgeous floral maxi dress. And it was also a night for royal fashion with Princess Princess Beatrice and Eugenie making an appearance. Both opted for short dresses, however, while Beatrice went for a strapless summer yellow ruffle frock, Euginie played it safe in a white scoop neck.
Across the capital Elle MacPherson stepped out in PVC black trousers and a white cropped tee for the launch of Britain’s Next Top Model 6, which is due to hit our screens very soon and we also got a quick glimpse of the girls who will be competing.
However, it wasn’t all free booze and partying for every celeb, Carly Zucker, wife of Joe Cole was also spotted enjoying a leisurely stroll before her England player hubby returned home.
And it’s off. Royal Ascot has well and truly begun bringing with it fancy frocks, fascinators and of course celebrities.
Amanda Holden turned up to the day wearing a turquoise dress and wacky Alice in Wonderland inspired hat, she was followed by Danielle Lineker who turned heads in a cream figure hugging frock.
However, unlike Amanda the WAG went for a more traditional headpiece, opting for a cream hat with ribbon detailing. Holly Valance went in the opposite direction to Danielle opting for a black dress and matching hat.
However it wasn’t just the celebrities that caught our eye. Other racegoers really gave us some sights this year with a special mention going out to the lady who wore, what looked like a real flower arrangement on her head. Lady Gaga you have some competition.

There’s always a night to attend when you’re a celebrity and although some are as classy as Jordan, other’s aren’t a bad night out.
Last night’s Samsung Galaxy launch, which took place at the Altitude Bar in London, was fortunately the latter and saw some famous faces turning up.
First on our best dressed list was Tess Daly who wore a cute denim on-trend shirt dress, which she teamed up with a white tassle bag. She was followed by X-Factor singer Alexandra Burke, who opted for a black lurex body con dress, and ex WAG Elen Rives who went for a loose white tops over short leggings. She finished off the look with sky high shoe boots.
Amber Le Bon also made an entrance in a rocker style jacket, while Naomie Harris went for dressed up chic in trousers and a top.
This weekend saw the first England World Cup game against the US, and like many of us it seemed celebrities chose to stay at home and watch it rather than hit the town.
The London scene seemed very quiet, and apart from Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan, who was spotted coming out of the Cafe De Paris night club in a short white dress complete with long train, we didn’t spot too many celebs in the capital this weekend.
Therefore we decided to extend our celebrity search across the UK, and we were pleased we did. In Birmingham we spotted Cheryl Cole/Tweedy wearing light grey skinny jeans, a mesh scoop neck top and heavy jewellery, on her way into the first X-Factor 2010 auditions. She was joined by Konnie Huq – the new presenter of ITV2′s The Xtra Factor – who opted for a simple black and white polka dot dress, and Natalie Imbruglia who wowed in a purple shift dress.
Over in Liverpool WAG Alex Curran popped to the hairdressers wearing a flowing white maxi dress and Gladiator shoes, before the first England World Cup, while Hollyoaks stars Melissa Walton and Gemma Merna partied the night away in a bar.
However, our best dressed award of the weekend has got to go to Katy Perry who sported a cute PVC dress depicting half the UK and USA flags for the World Cup Live ITV with James Corden. Wow.
The World Cup kicks off today, and tomorrow we’ll be watching England’s first game.
However, as we’ve said before not not huge fans of the great game so we’ve been trying to find a fun way to get into the spirit and that’s of course through fashion.
But this time we’re not talking about the huge range of World Cup fashion out there. We’re instead talking about WAG’s style.
It’s no secret that the wives and girlfriends of our footie stars spend a fortune on their clothing, especially the likes of Coleen Rooney and fashionista Victoria Beckham, and we know many of you (and us too) can’t afford to splash out.
So we decided to scour the highstreet and find some cheaper alternatives to some outfits worn by Christine Bleakley, Abi Clancy, Alex Curren and of course Victoria and Coleen.
View our gallery for some WAG World Cup fashion looks.
The England players have left for South Africa to begin the World Cup training today and many have left their wags behind for a few weeks before they go and join them. New to the line up this year is most notably Christine Bleakley, who has been quoted as saying in the press that she is not a WAG and will not be hanging out with the rest of them in South Africa when she goes to watch Frank Lampard.
However is she stylish enough to beat Peter Crouch’s missus Abbey Clancy who was a Britian’s Next Top Model runner up and is known for her love of fashion, or will she befriend England captains Missus Rebecca Ellison who is of the similar mindset.
And we also want to know if Coleen Rooney‘s style going to beat Victoria Beckham‘s this year. Victoria may have a designing debut under her belt but we think Coleen’s got the style too.
But our top 20 doesn’t just include UK Wags, after all this is an international game. So we’ve also found a few fashionable WAGS from France, Germany and Holland including Tatiana Golovin, to spice up the style stakes and we can’t wait to see whose wardrobes are going to be the best.
However, we hope Melanie Slade didn’t get her summer South Africa outfit ready as it seems she’ll be spending all her time with Theo Walcott after he got dropped from the team.
Last night the WAG brigade was out in force as Manchester United players hit the red carpet for the annual Man U player of the year awads.
However, although Coleen Rooney was the style star of the night in a LBD complete wth a statement zip at the back, the famous WAG, who never usually puts a foot wrong, made the ultimate faux pas leaving the sale labels on the soles of her shoes.
We know this is something that happens to the best of us, although our labels would read New Look rather than Coleen’s Louboutins, but it’s not something we expect from our favourite WAG. Perhaps it’s the late nights and early mornings she’s been experiencing since the birth of her little boy.
Many of the player’s wives and girlfriends made a sophisticated albeit sombre approach opting for black, with the exception of Michael Owen’s wife who wore an on-trend 50s frock, and a few WAG wannabes who took tack to a whole new level.
View the gallery below for all the fashions from the night and let us know your worst fashion faux pas by leaving your comments below.
The Grand National is one of the biggest events of the year and not just for those who like to have a little flutter on the horses. It’s also a time when fashion wars begin and this year the style battle raged between WAGs Coleen Rooney and Alex Curran who jockeyed for their position of the event’s “best dressed”.
Alex wowed in a short beige dress by Balmain with signature square shulders while Colleen, who missed part of the race went for fashionable floaty with a pink chiffon Christian Louboutin frock and heels.
She told reporters: This event is the fashion event of the year for me.”
But who wore their frock best?

With the World Cup looming, we’re already dreading having the television taken over by our other halves. That’s not to say we won’t be watching a few of the games, after all, it’s one of the biggest events of the year.
However, being fashion obsessed we thought we’d start off a mini series in the lead up to the big game. Every week we’ll be taking two British WAGs and pitting them against each other in the fashion stakes, the one who get’s the least votes from you will be given a yellow card and then pitted against another yellow card WAG until they get relegated.
So to begin this series we’ve decided to give you a gallery of our ten stylish wags until the competition heats up next week.
Let us know who you think will win the style World Cup.
