Heavens to Betsy - what were they thinking? The past few months have seen our favourite celebrities making some very strange wardrobe choices. Were they doing it for a dare? Missing a mirror? Or did they really think they looked good?

We asked top stylist and founder of http://www.stylestruck.com Fiona Huntingford to cast her expert eye over the top offenders. See 'em and weep!

By Jane Murphy


The offender: Britney Spears

The occasion: Under-fire mum Britney took her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, out to dinner at LA's Cravings restaurant - but that didn't stop her indulging in her usual "accidental" knicker-flashing antics when she got into her car at the end of the evening.

The outfit: A super-short green patterned smock dress; calf-length boots; woolly socks; burgundy knickers.

The verdict: "This is a lesson to us all that less is definitely not more when it comes to minidresses," says Fiona. "The calf-length boots are totally wrong, and emphasise that Britney's legs are looking heavier at the moment. The only way to wear a dress as short as this is with leggings - which could have preserved her modesty!"



The offender: Chanelle Hayes

The occasion: The Big Brother star showed up to a party at London's Embassy club, hosted by celebrity hairdresser Adee Phelan. (A word to the wise, Chanelle: Victoria Beckham would never go to a party hosted by Adee Phelan.)

The outfit: Black satin hotpants; black fitted bustier; white bolero jacket; black fingerless satin gloves; kitten heels.

The verdict: "I wish Chanelle would just develop a style of her own and forget the 'Posh' look," says Fiona. "She's a very attractive girl, but the white jacket teamed with black satin just looks cheap. And what's with the fingerless gloves? They're just awful!"



The offender: Charley Uchea

The occasion: A night out at London's Embassy Club (they just can't stay away, can they?) with friends including fellow ex-Big Brother housemate Nicky Maxwell.
The outfit: A multi-coloured strapless minidress. Or is it just a top? Who knows?

The verdict: "Someone needs to explain one of the most important fashion rules to Charley," says Fiona. "If you're going to wear a dress with a low neck, the hem should be reasonably long."




The offender: Michelle Heaton

The occasion: A night out with Jordan, starting at London's Sanderson Hotel and ending at celebrity hangout Movida.

The outfit: A backless grey dress with floaty sleeves, and a wide leather belt worn at a "jaunty" angle.

The verdict: "Michelle has a good figure, but this dress makes her look much bigger than she actually is," says Fiona. "Also, the wide belt worn on her hips instead of her waist looks very dated: this season is all about emphasising the waist. And does she ever take those hoop earrings out?"




The offender: Jodie Marsh

The occasion: An evening at the Circus nightclub in London's Soho Revue Bar, along with drag queen Jodie Harsh (see what he did there?) and Footballers' Wives star Sarah Barrand.

The outfit: A pom-pom-covered pink and white bikini, wide pink fishnets and white boots with pink ribbons tied round them.

The verdict: "I think Jodie's been watching too much Blue Peter," says Fiona. "It looks like she's attacked her bikini with a glue gun and pom-poms - or they could be marshmallows in case she gets a bit peckish later. She really need to sort herself out a decent stylist!"

Quite frankly, her clothing choices only emphasize the idea that she is trying to keep all the attention on her. I mean, I have never seen anything go from outrageously poofy to almost nauseatingly tight in all my years. This is kind of like a mullet outfit: 80s at the top, 70s disco at the bottom, and it needs to go away fast.

Kym Marsh

THE PROBLEM: See-through dress. Poor old Kym. The Corrie star probably had no idea this dress would become see-through under the glare of a photographer’s flash, revealing her lack of a bra and flashing her knickers.


THE SOLUTION: A figure-hugging strapless slip wouldn’t have ruined the line of Kym’s slinky dress and would have cancelled out the glare of the flash.

Whether Britney chooses to flash the pants or if she is just unlucky is and always will remain a mystery!
