Steal her style
Three celebs working the same look officially makes it a trend in our book!
As soon as we saw Frankie and Rochelle from The Saturdays and Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas stepping out in super-cool Chanel No. 5 inspired tees, our team rushed out to search for one that gives you their look instantly.
Frankie from the Saturdays
We’ve come up with the perfect perfume-inspired tee as well as the rest of Frankie’s fab outfit. This longline vest-style tee would look great with leggings or denim. Here’s how to steal Rochelle from The Saturdays style:
Perfume tee, £18
Diesel denim skirt, £75
Nautical Blazer, £40
Fold over boots, £45
With the perfume tee at just £18, that’s a perfect celeb style steal without the super-star price tag!

And the award for best dressed goes to…
… Well, there wasn’t an actual award for best dressed, but if there was, we’d have been hard-pressed to decide between the army of fabulous frocks on the red carpet at 2010’s Oscars awards ceremony. As always, glamour reigned supreme but there were flashes of trends coming through, too. Nudes seemed to sweep the board with Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham and Demi Moore all wearing gowns in this season’s hottest shade.

To steal their style, try this Saint Tropez dress, £50. It’s a great way to work Hollywood nude-toned glamour without looking OTT.

For more neutral and nude hues, our Nudes collection is packed with inspiration for ways to wear these shades and steal that red carpet style. Another trend we’ll definitely be trying this spring is graphic print. We love the way Maggie Gyllenhaal stood out from the crowd in her bold print bright blue maxi dress:

Steal her style with this Firetrap Maxi dress, £70:

Feminine ruffles are still huge for SS10 and it was great to see this trend get the A-List treatment – taking any look to the red carpet instantly means exaggerated details, pumped up glamour and full on fabulousness! George Clooney’s co-star of ‘Up in the Air’ – Vera Farmiga – wore an amazing ruffled dress:

This ruffled dress, £28, is a perfect way to tone down Vera’s look and make it wearable:
Floaty ruffle dress, £28
If only we’d had an invite to the Oscars (maybe next year… we wish!) we’d have definitely worn one of the new Forever Unique dresses that have just arrived on Oli.co.uk today. These gowns (and they really do need to be described as gowns, they’re so amazing!) are perfect for when you need that extra-special boost of glamour. Forever Unique is a brand that’s a favourite of celebrities and with stunning maxis, amazing embellishment and luxurious silk, it’s easy to see why.
Silk Maxi dress, £250
Pleat dress, £200
Monochrome Maxi, £300
There were so many amazing dresses on the red carpet that it was hard to choose our favourites! Who won your best dressed award? Tell us on Twitter: @Oli_Blog or on Facebook.

Last night’s Brit Awards event was a star studded girlie night, with Lily Allen, Lady Gaga, Florence, Pixie Lott, Alicia Keys and Cheryl Cole all rocking up for the ceremony. The boys barely got a look in, not that we’re complaining… It meant there were lots of gorgeous outfits for us to enjoy!
The Brits are one of our fave fashion events of the year, with celebs daring to bring out their rock star side and let their hair down. This year, sequins and lace detailing for LBDs set the tone for the evening. Celebs wore their hemlines high and shoes higher, teamed with on-trend tights to ward off the February chill without compromising their fashionista style credibility. Here’s how to steal the Brits star style:
Alicia Keys rocked in sequins, structured shoulders and peep-toe ankle cuff shoes.
Sequin dress, £40

Pixie Lott adorned her LBD with lace, a trend that Lily, Kylie, Courtney Love and Lady Gaga were all working.
AX Paris lace dress, £30

And we were glad to see the lovely Cheryl Cole putting on a brave face for her performance. She was also rocking a huge trend for SS10 – Macs. Finally, star style that keeps out the cold! Hurrah.
Mac, £67

Celebs have been papped for a while now wearing skull prints, they’re a perfect way to toughen up a pretty outfit and add instant rock chic kudos to any outfit. Lily Allen, Rochelle from the Saturdays and The Hills Star Kristin Cavallari are fans:
Lily Allen loves skulls
The Hills star in skulls
The skulls trend was pioneered by designer Alexander McQueen whose recent death shocked the fashion world. Celebrity tributes have been pouring in from the likes of Kate Moss and even Lady Gaga dedicated one of her Brit awards to him last night.
Skull prints are set to be huge again this year as a nod to this iconic designer, here’s how to get the look:
Skull scarf, £15
Diamante scarf, £22
Skull cardigan, £60
Skull dress, £75
Skull floral top, £18
Let your skeletons out of your closet…

We couldn’t wait to see the Celebs turn out in style for New York Fashion Week today, but we weren’t quite expecting to see what we did… Lady Gaga going, well… gaga. She performed at a charity gala that kicked off the fashion event covered from head to toe in tiny pearls. We normally love Gaga’s style but this is one look we won’t be copying!
One look that we definitely are on board with was the lovely Heidi Klum’s sleek black dress. Hers was designed by Victoria Beckham, but you can get superstar style at a fraction of the price with the gorgeous black stretch corsage dress. This dress is by one of Oli’s favourite labels, AX Paris and is perfect for turning up the glam and attracting attention for all the right reasons. Lady Gaga, take note!
AX Paris corsage dress, £40
Folds or structured fabric detailing is a brilliant way to update your LBD and keeping your hair simple like Heidi really will really freshens up this nod to old school glamour.

Weary-footed fashionistas rejoice! The queen of towering heels, Victoria Beckham, has finally toned down her super-groomed WAG look and has been papped stepping out in flat pumps. Hoorah!

Of course, heels are fantastic for adding that extra bit of glamour to your outfit but even we have to admit there are times when a pair of stylish pumps are definitely called for. By teaming flatties with leggings or tights and this season’s staple – a cute tunic – you’ve got instant toned-down style that’s bang on trend. And now even stiletto-crazy Victoria Beckham has given comfy, cool and cute flats the green light, we don’t need to feel bad about ditching the heels once in a while!
Take Victoria’s lead and put your best foot forward with our fabulous flats.
Timeless quilted pumps, £18
Zebra pumps, £15
Sequin pumps, £11
Cracked jewel pumps, £20

We’ve just heard the news that Ugly Betty has been cancelled after four brilliant seasons… Sob! The world of fashion TV will never be the same again.
Good to see that even this bombshell hasn’t derailed our favourite quirky, colourful character’s sense of style. America Ferrera wraps up to beat the January chill with a nod to nautical colours and detailing with her red shoes, blue tights and cute navy buttoned coat. We love the way she adds trademark kookiness by mixing it up with a statement handbag.
Ugly Betty is in its fourth season in America but has yet to air in the UK, we can’t wait for our fix of new Mode action but we’ll be sad to see Betty leave our screens for good. At least we still have a while to steal her style!
Last night’s Brit awards launch party was just as much about the outfits as it was about the music. A sharp contrast to the Glamour of the Golden Globes, this party was all about being edgy, sassy and letting your inner rock chick shine through.
The nominations were star-studded, with La Roux, Florence and the Machine and Pixie Lott being just a few of our fave fashionistas in the running for a Brit award. But it was host Fearne Cotton who stole the show for us. Fearne made an on-trend style statement in a bright blue belted tunic, the perfect transitional season outfit. She teamed it with sheer patterned tights and shoe boots to toughen up the girlie tunic and her patterned tights added a quirky touch.
So, thanks to the lovely Fearne, tunics are officially our new style crush – versatile enough to dress down with pumps and leggings for the day time, or match with a statement belt and fab heels for evenings. Why not try out your favourite tunic outfits in our Look Book? Just browse the site and select ‘add to Look Book’ on the items you’d like to match together.
