Last weekend Cheryl Cole looked the best ever all season. Gone is the red hair and hair extensions and instead sporting a shorter chestnut hairstyle with layers. As well her make up was brilliant. On Saturday she wore a metallic one shoulder mini dress by Emilo Pucci. The one shoulder dresses worked for her inverted triangle body shape, because it emphasised as well her lower half with its long flared sleeve line and drapes and split in around her hips. She kept in tune as well with her short height by wearing shoes that were in tune with her dress and didn’t visually shorten her. On Sunday another outfit that was right on the money. Her A-line Maxi Dress by Gianfranco Ferré complemented her body shape by visually balancing her shoulders with the A-line cut. Her hair cut was current, modern and stylish that worked with the dress like a dream. This time I have also no complaints about her chosen earrings which were spot on for her look and outfit.
Dannii Minogue nailed it again with both of her outfits. What I love most is that she shows such a diversities of looks and keeps true to her style. The amount her hairstyle changes surprises us week after week . On Saturday she looked simply stunning in her red a-symmetric Carla Zampatti dress. It emphasised all the right places and she was pairing it up with a classy and modern hair do. She was seen a few times in this hair style and will become – I am sure- her iconic hairstyle.Her chosen Annoushka earrings complemented the the dress style to a “T”- without stealing the attention. Sunday she dazzled us with another look – but again true to her style. Her black halterneck dress with an asymmetric skirt line was by Halston and was working her full hourglass body shape to perfection. As well as her shoes and her “Medusa” kind of hairstyle were picking up on her metallic belt in her waist line. It all looked classy and effortless.
Cher Lloyd was sporting finally a look that is true to her personality, age and how we saw her at the beginning of the show. It was simply more credible than turning her into something was she is not. She is at an age where she can mix match styles, colours and fabrics as she likes- simply because she is a teenager and teenagers do experiment with styles, looks and push the boundaries. I love her look in the black dress with the printed hosiery. Her pink hairband pulled the whole look from fierce with attitude to sweet.
Katie Waissel wore in her first song a black All Saints dress and fierce Marcus Lupfer embellished tights. Though it works for her neat hourglass body shape it just looks frumpy with her new brunette short hair cut. It ages her and it doesn’t suit her. She should trust herself and go back to the hairstyle she work when came on to the show. It was authentic and shouting more drama queen than Audrey Hepburn. Her nude lacey drop waist dress in the second round looked simply dreadful on her. The colour of the dress with her hairstyle looked tired, the drop waist dress is overpowering her short height and its loose fit makes it all look shapeless on her. It looks like if she is wearing someone else dress that doesn’t suit her in size and style.
Rebecca Ferguson wore in the first dress an animal print dress by Roberto Cavalli. The print works great for her colouring and her personality. Unfortunately the figure hugging a-symmetric dress is quite the opposite what a pear shape should be doing. The attention has to stay on the upper body but not highlighting their biggest part with attention seeking styles. Combining this dress with black long leggings worked great with her age and also with her make up and made it all look current. In her second song she wore a LBD by Gareth Pugh and Christian Louboutin heels. The patent figure hugging dress is again not ideal for her body shape, but wearing her hair on her shoulder line it she makes it work. Because it emphasises the upper body versa her lower one and balances it out with her lower half. She simply looked stunning.

On Saturday night Cheryl Cole wore her best dress since the beginning of the show. The strapless maxi dress by Roberto Cavalli worked like a dream for her inverted triangle body shape and her warm colouring. It was classy, current and worked her body. What didn’t work was her choice of earrings, because they interfered with her hairstyle . The earrings looked clunky . They were too close to her hairstyle and they put too much distance to her decollete line. It looked too disconnected. She should have chosen discreet drop earrings that would have looked effortless and closed the gap between her hair style and decollete line. On Sunday Cheryl was back to some unfortunate style choices. The dress style was not ideal for her body shape with its features on top, but since it had a full A-line skirt that went out wider than her shoulder it kind of looked alright. The feel about the dress was a bit Gothic and pairing it with a kind of medieval hairstyle it looked quite scary altogether. Having said that it would have been a good look for Halloween night. As well her choice in earrings didn’t work in style or theme. It looked again all very clunky.
Dress suggestions for Cheryl:
Though Danni’s style choice and look rocked again on Saturday it wasn’t a hit for me. Yes, the style of her dress fitted her body shape perfectly, her earrings looked perfect in colour choice with the shape and style for the dress and her hair style brought the whole outfit together. What didn’t work for me was that the colour white. It is not close enough to Christmas and combining this white drapey dress with turquoise/gold earrings it feels more appropriate for summer or a warmer climate than for cold English November in the UK. The theme is too breezy and has more of a ” hot summer night” feel about it. On Sunday she was back by going for an animal fitted dress that worked her full hourglass shape to perfection. She kept the whole look current by wearing an animal printed dress in the current fashionable 50s style, combining it with a hairstyle that picked up on the edgy feel of the dress but keeping it classy at the same time. But what I liked best about it that the dress had a a bit of a “dress for success” feel about it. Since it was eviction night I thought that style of dress and theme was most appropriate for the occasion. She turned this day dress to an evening one by wearing metallic Christian Louboutin heels and wearing earrings that went with the theme without overpowering or competing with the animal prints.
Dress suggestions for Dannii:
Rebecca Ferguson dress was a perfect fit for her pear body shape and for her style personality. But it didn’t work with her colouring. The neutral or nude colour of the dress is washing her out. But her make up, hair style and accessories were absolutely spot on and worked like a dream.
Dress suggestions for Rebecca:
Kate Waissel look and style on Saturday was reminding me of the movie Grease . To me it was all too much of everything from her headband to studded leather jacket, printed cropped T-shirt, washed low rise jeans combined embellished belt and key ring to the studded biker boots. Every single inch of her body was decorated.
Cher Lloyd style is getting better and better. Since she is a lean column in her bodyshape she needs to add fullness and roundness to her body shape. Her slightly oversized metallic blazer with its metallic features and the metallic printed trousers did that. The nude, metallic and black combination worked for a deeper colouring -even though she wore a nude colour on top-, because she wore her long, full dark her open. My only dislike is that she is styled like the MINI CHERYL COLE rather going for her own identity.

It is a jungle out there! This season’s favourite are leopard and zebra prints. They are sleek, chic, multicoloured and come in many variations. Important rule is to mix it up and not to go overboard by dressing in prints from top to toe. My tip here:” Wear it with a sense of humour! They sum up your mood in quick style statement.” Prints can look sophisticated and can give an edge to your look, but too much of it and it will look cheap. So, keep in mind less is more. Prints create attention and ” volume” to your body therefore choose the right item for your bodyshape. Since they come in many colour variations you should find as well the perfect match for your colouring.
Food for thought: There is no need to go for real fur to enjoy this trend.
