Oh do forgive the awful wordplay, but it simply had to be done.
Upon receiving my daily dosage of my guiltiest of pleasures (the inscrutable* Mail Online), I couldn't help aaawing and aahing at Myleene Klass. Both her figure and fashion sense bring me close to tears (green with envy etc.) and I'll never forget the iconic image of her in a skimpy white bikini taking a shower in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Appreciative, not perverse, I'd like to point out. It may not be quite as iconic as Elizabeth Hurley's safety pin dress or Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's shrouded with jewels and seductively holding an overly long cigarette, but it's definitely high up in my books.
Take a look at this dress. The fur collar totally gets my seal of approval. I'm not usually fanatical about fur, but ever since I purchased a jacket with a fur rimmed collar and received many compliments, I agreed that fur can be fabulous, if fashioned fittingly. A little touch of our furry friend turns an LBD into a FLBD - a furry little black dress. Granted, it doesn't have quite the same ring as LBD, but hear me out. No-one, and I mean no-one can deny that the lady is owning this dress down to the ground. She struts the figure hugging ensemble with a fierce sensuality while still keeping it casual. And I would too, if I had a waist like that. Carved by Rodin himself. A definite winner.
So I thought I'd take it upon myself to delve into the archives and pull out some of Klass's classiest moments:
Green is a favourite of mine, and I often have to stop myself from vigorously peeling green dresses off hangers when I hit the shops. It's more exciting than blue, and I believe many more people suit the shade than is commonly thought. I never usually endorse shiny materials either, but I think I'll have to say au revoir to my out-of-date stereotype and bite the bullet on this one. I mean, the woman's practically glowing. In a good way. And it does a great job of highlighting her sun-kissed skin. And bravo to match it with orange nails.
There are few people that can pull off yellow, and I'm certainly not one of them. But if you've got the skin-tone of Miss Klass, matched with locks which could give chocolate a run for its money, then a bit of yellow is definitely worth investing in. Even if you end up blinding half the people in the room when you make your entrance. But when you're a celebrity, you are called to stand-out. When you're competing with the red carpet, there really is limited space for holding back. Apart from the firecracker shoes, what I love about Myleene's look here is the sheer elegance. And you know what makes it even better? She wore it in Heathrow Airport. Talking about flying high on the fashion radar.
And now heading back to 2012, in October at the Brit awards she opted for a strapless purple peplum dress which she even designed herself. Is there any colour this woman doesn't suit? And according to Vogue (a fashionista's beacon of knowledge), purple is the IT colour of Autumn/Winter 2012/2013, which probably explains why on a recent shopping exhibition to H&M and New Look, I was spoilt for choice with the regal colour. Must. Hold. Back.
I'm also loving the black lace bag which makes an appearance in two of these photos. Vintage!
