Fashion Face Off: Kendall Jenner and Brooklyn Decker in Altuzarra’s Spring 2012 tropical prints
Altuzarra’s Spring 2012 tropical prints are turning into a big story for 2012. Not only have they been well-liked in editorials, but Cheryl Cole wore the tropical bird print blazer in her Contact My Name video. Here we see Kendall Jenner in a black-trimmed crew neck shirt off the runway paired with Sachin + Babi shorts for Teen Vogue magazine. Brooklyn Decker wore the print in a sleeveless leather-trimmed dress similar to the tropical-print silk crepe de chine dress, £910.
Each ladies paired their colorful bold prints with white – Jennar with her summer time-perfect shorts and Decker with white cut-out heels. I believe this was a intelligent move. The safer solution would be matching the black trim in the pieces, but the white picks up on the white in the print and tends to make it much more summer suitable.
Otherwise, these looks are bit diverse. Kendall’s look is pretty casual and looks like it’s straight out of the Hamptons, albeit a bit bold for that preppy enclave. Decker’s appear is more city cock-tail hour. The print actually operates in each scenarios.
The A – Z of Award Show Fashion – red carpet style rundown
As we approach the middle of the madness that is awards season, we take a look at what we think makes up the A – Z of red carpet style at these big star-studded events (yes, we even found a Q and an X)…
A is for Academy Awards
The Academy Awards is undoubtedtly the biggest awards show on the red carpet calendar and thus the most glamorous. Film stars from across the globe flock to Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre to celebrate the year’s best performances, dressed in their very best couture. Designers clamour to dress nominees and presenters, as the publicity is worth millions.
Alesha Dixon In Peter Pilotto – Britain’s Got Talent Manchester Auditions
Former Mis-Teeq singer Alesha Dixon was poached from BBC’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ to be a judge alongside Simon Cowell in ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
Since I’ve by no means watched either show, let’s focus on the fashion.
The judge was spotted leaving the Lowry Hotel in Manchester on Sunday whilst heading to auctions.
Get Cher Lloyd’s red fringed maxi dress in the sale
Cher Lloyd was often going to struggle with comparisons to former X Aspect mentor Cheryl Cole. Not only do they share 4 letters of their 1st name, there is also the diminuitive size, bouffed brunette hair and doe eyes (complete with fake lashes) that made Cher into Cheryl’s mini-me in 2010. All she was missing was the dimples.
She rebelled for a although with shaved hair, bow ties, trainers and a propensity to mouth off about every little thing under the sun, but it only took a massive occasion – Cosmopolitan’s Woman of the Year Awards – for the Cheryl inside of Cher to come out once more. She looked positively demure in a fringed Aqua Couture dress, even if it did look a tad too huge.
This dress is something of an X Element favourite – it was also worn by 1 of this year’s contestants, Sophie Habibis (who wore so significantly Aqua in the course of the show we did wonder at 1 point no matter whether she was sponsored by them).

Little Mix Make Like Emma Watson & Rihanna in McQ by Alexander McQueen
We maaay have mentioned once or twice that X Factor winners, Small Mix, are gracing the cover of Grazia‘s bumper Christmas problem. All through the series, Perrie, Jade, Jesy and Leigh-Ann showcased a appear that is all quirkiness rather than in-yer-face sexiness. We all saw the bow ties and braces, hoodies not physique-con, and their no-high-heels policy. Granted, their female-friendly style made them even much more endearing to the millions of viewers, but Grazia took the opportunity to give the quartet a McQueen-more than, kitting them out in pieces from Kate Middleton’s favourite designer, teamed with heeled ankle boots. Don’t they look amazing? And they’re in excellent organization. By wearing these gorgeous outfits, the girl group have followed in the fashionable footsteps of some of our favourite stars who’ve also sported McQ tartan.

Tulisa Contostavlos Wears Fashion Fringe Winner Fyodor Golan for the X Factor Final!
So X Factor fun is over for another year (sob) but Grazia HQ is still buzzing with excitement. How happy are we that Little Mix won and Girl Power is going strong? Very. Do we have an unexpected crush on Chris Martin? Yep. And who won the finale fash-off? Ooh, there’s a question. You see, this morning’s X Factor-related debate is focused on Tulisa Contostavlos’s interesting dress choices.
Let’s begin with Saturday night when the songstress stepped onto the Wembley stage in this corseted mini-dress with a ginormous skirt covered in black netting, polka dots and layers of tulle. Blimey. We appreciate she wanted to pick a show-stopper for the final but she ended up looking like a puffy cupcake, no? Indeed, there were audible GASPS (followed by sniggering) as Tulisa crammed the bulging concotion behind the judging panel. Yikes.
