What are friends for? Holly Willoughby on hand to support Fearne Cotton at her Very collection show

By Holly Thomas


What are friends for: Holly Willoughby was on hand to make Fearn laugh as she showed off her new collection for Very


They have been firm friends for many years and despite their different jobs are always on hand to champion the other.

So it was no surprise to see Holly Willoughby on hand to support Fearne Cotton as she launched her latest fashion line for Very earlier today.

The best friends posed together with Fearne wearing the second ensemble of the show, a lilac shift maxi dress with sheer panelling.

Dynamic duo: Fearne's best friend, This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby, attended the show


This Morning presenter Holly opted for a bright scarlet ensemble which she teamed with a black jacket and opaque tights

And Holly wans't the only familiar face to attend the fashion show with TV presenter Myleene Klass fashion designer Whitney Port also on hand to survey the latest designs at the London Fashion Week Show.

Support: Whitney looked very happy to be there for her friend


Following the current celebrity trend recently championed by fellow Brit Cheryl Cole, Fearne's hair was teased to exaggerate its volume, producing a somewhat artificial effect.

The loose waves were reminiscent of a style often favoured by Gwen Stefani, whose ability to marry cutting edge and retro fashion has made her a style icon.

Loose and lovely: Whitney Port arrived for the show sporting long loose curls and a relaxed but stylish ensemble

Very lovely: Fellow presenter and model Myleene Klass also attended the show

Upping the ante: Fearne Cotton injected some extreme volume into her 'do for her Very collection show

Mixed effect: Though her wavy blonde bob didn't quite match the rest of the look, Fearne pulled off her bold and bright outfit choice

In her first outfit of the day Fearne had donned a bright red lace dress showing off her slender pins and flat stomach.

Her makeup was simple but effective, with mascara and minimal eyeliner creating a little definition around her eyes, and hot pink lipstick as the main focus.

Fearne completed her youthful look with very high leopard print heels.

The star took to Twitter to update fans on her day, tweeting excitedly: 'Morning!

Got Miles Kane in the live lounge today on my show. Then off for my very.co.uk fashion show!'

'On the way to the venue for my fashion show. Eye bags need removing, hair needs brushing, and stomach needs spanx. Goodbye italian gut!' she added this afternoon.

As the show drew closer, nerves started to creep in, as she wrote: 'An hour to go until people start arriving for my fashion show! Ah! Nervous now!'

Losing control: Fearne's hair grew wilder as the event continued

Model style: Though her hair choice was perhaps a misfire, Fearne looked in great shape, showing off her slender pins in a red lace dress


Fellow presenter and model Myleene Klass showed up looking cute in a blue summer dress, like Fearne accentuating her lips with a bright red.

She later tweeted her admiration for Fearne's designs, saying: '@Fearnecotton stirling job tonight Mrs. You should be very proud x'.

Running theme: Big hair and bright lips were a prominent feature of the show itself


Also there was Hills star and fashion designer Whitney Port, who chose wide trousers and a colourful jumper to create a laid-back ensemble.

Whitney was also impressed, and tweeted Fearne afterwards: '@fearnecotton Absolutely LOVED your show! The 60's aesthetic, frizzy hair and bright orange lips were so fun!'.

Youthful: The show had a Sixties aesthetic, focusing on bright colours and loose shapes

Success: Fearne's Fashion Week collection was well received

Her Royal High Hem: Pippa's front row fashion faux pas as she tussles with short skirt at Temperley London Fashion Week

By Deborah Gentile


Style queen: Pippa Middleton sits in the front row at the Temperley show, the first time she has attended a show since the Royal Wedding


Standing up, Pippa Middleton's outfit looked a perfectly reasonable length.

So when the Duchess of Cambridge's sister took her seat at the Temperley show, she probably didn't anticipate she would be spending most of her time ensuring she didn't reveal too much.

Pippa tried to look relaxed as photographers circled, but her clasped hands holding tightly onto the hemline of her short skirt gave a hint that she was not totally at ease.

Happy: Pippa, right, and actress Rosario Dawson, left, are all smiles as they wait for the show to begin

Front row: Rosario Dawson looked delighted to be sitting next to Pippa, while a sexy Peaches Geldof pretended not to be interested


She was joined by Peaches Geldof and Rosario Dawson in a star-studded front row.

Pippa's arrival caused a flurry of flashbulbs as the assembled crowd craned their necks for a glimpse of the Duchess of Cambridge's sister.

Wearing a cream and black mini dress she had collected from the Temperley store earlier that day, Pippa was groomed to perfection with glossy curls and immaculate make up (in the same kohl-rimmed style favoured by sister Kate).

Joining Pippa in the front row was actress Rosario Dawson in red lace Temperley, last spotted partying at the Roberto Cavalli store launch on Saturday night.

Newly slender Peaches Geldof completed the stellar line-up, wearing a red slip dress with beaded headdress and red platform shoes.

A fashion week regular, Peaches has been seen front row at a number of shows this week after jetting back from the U.S. where she had attended New York's fashion week.

Pippa used to be a regular at fashion week before she was thrust into the public eye, but this is her first high-profile show since the Royal Wedding.

Rumours had swirled that she might appear at the Issa show last Saturday - both Middleton sisters are ardent fans of the brand - but she did not show up.

Pippa has become close to the label's founder Alice Temperley since having a Temperley gown customised in emerald green to wear at the evening reception of Kate and William's wedding.

Kate is also fond of the label - choosing a Temperley dress to wear to Wimbledon in June which then promptly sold out - but she was not able to attend the show.

THE TEMPERLEY COLLECTION

The collection that the stars and the stylish enjoyed was at times ethereal, at times dramatic. Heavy on the intricate beading and lace that have become Temperley's trademark, the palette was subtle - ivories, putty - or graphic and monochromatic.

Dramatic: Black lace is made into sumptuous eveningwear and sophisticated separates

Temperley's trademark style: Intricate beading, bridal-inspired chic and elegant shapes

Watch out Kate Moss! Sarah Harding sets the catwalk on fire with new red tresses as she models at London Fashion Week

By Nadia Mendoza


Model behaviour: Sarah Harding got over her recent split with a new hairdo and by modelling on the catwalk at the Look Fashion Week show at Westfield in Stratford


It's a classic way to heal a broken heart; cry into the pillow, gorge on takeaways, have a makeover, then show your ex what they're missing.

And Sarah Harding is no exception to the rule having dyed her locks red and owning the catwalk at London Fashion Week.

The Girls Aloud star took to the runway at the Look Magazine show, oozing confidence and glamour as she wiggled her hips in various outfits.

Born to perform: Sarah looked ravishing as she owned the stage and put her love troubles behind her

Gracious: Sarah looked like a Hollywood star with her new sophisticated hairstyle


Sarah gave a whole new meaning to 'office chic' as she rocked a flattering white blazer, complete with fitted black trousers and killer heels to match.

She had a natural swagger and appeared to be in her comfort zone in front of the adoring crowds at Westfield shopping centre in Stratford.

The newly singleton later dared to bare in something a little more daring, flashing her midriff in a black boob tube with a colourful dress draped over.

Dionne Bromfield was also in attendance, belting out her vocal chords for a performance while looking like the little diva she is becoming.

Stunning: Sarah oozed glamour as she modelled a vibrant dress with purple boots

Strike a pose: Girls Aloud star looked healthy and sunkissed as she sported a smooth tan which complimented the wild colours of the outfit

Fashion icon in the making: Dionne Bromfield performed at the Look Magazine Spring Summer 2012 show at London Fashion Week


Harding, who just split from fiancé Tom Crane, sizzled with fearlessness as she showcased her new red hairdo at a press call before the show.

Looking absolutely radiant with shimmering skin, sunkissed Sarah sported a fabulous tan which complimented her fiery tresses.

A fresh start: Newly-single Sarah Harding showcases red hair at the Look Magazine fashion party at Westfield in Stratford

Single again: After splitting with Tom Crane, who will be Sarah's next conquest?


Any hint of crying into the pillow was hidden by a glint in her eye that said, 'I'm single and ready to mingle'.

And the 29-year-old is obviously not ready to bid farewell to the summer, showing off her slender figure in white shorts and a vest top speckled with glitter.

She kept things simple with minimal bling, wearing just a handful of bangles around her left wrist and a pair of black and white wedges.

Forcing a smile: Sarah stepped out earlier this week without her engagement ring


Last week, the Biology singer buried herself beneath a flat cap and behind aviator shades as she stepped out minus her engagement ring.

While her forced smile appeared to be more like a grimace, today's outing seemed to generate a genuine smile.

Sarah ended her relationship with the DJ just nine months after getting engaged, which they celebrated with a glitzy party at The Brompton Club.

Blonds have more fun: Sarah sported lighter hair while supporting Kimberley Walsh at the Horrid Henry premiere in July


The split allegedly came after a row between the couple, with Sarah flying to Ibiza, where Tom plays in the top venues, in a bid to save the romance.

Despite the shock of the break-up, their relationship was never a fairytale and throughout their four years they separated several times.

However, they were believed to have overcome their problems after Crane proposed on New Year’s Eve 2010 during a holiday in The Maldives.

But hectic work schedules have been blamed for their fate, with Tom in Spain while Sarah has been shooting Run For Your Wife in London.

The role, which sees Sarah star alongside Danny Dyer and Denise Van Outen, is her first major role following smaller performances in the St Trinian's movies and BBC drama Out Of Control.

Toddlers & Tiaras star aged SIX gyrates on runway at New York Fashion Week

By Tamara Abraham


Inappropriate: Former child beauty queen Eden Wood, six, gyrates as she performs on the catwalk at children's footwear brand Cicciabella's New York Fashion Week show


New York Fashion Week was plunged into controversy today after a six-year-old was allowed to gyrate in skimpy clothing on the catwalk.

Shocking pictures emerged today of Eden Wood, who shot to fame after appearing on TLC reality show Toddlers & Tiaras, dancing provocatively in hotpants and a crop top.

The images will trigger outrage from parents across America, and lead to questions about why Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is allowing such a show to take place.

The youngster, from Taylor, Arkansas, was modelling for children's footwear brand Cicciabella.

Her appearance in the show flouts guidelines set by fashion industry body CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) which demands that designers do not use models under the age of 16.

But the event's host, Real Housewives star Kelly Bensimon, defended Eden's on-stage performance as just a 'fun, girly moment.'

She told the Daily Beast: 'That wasn’t stripping. That was just her having a little fun, girly moment.

'If she was really doing something, I would have literally moved her into doing something else. I have rules.'

Bending the rules: Children's footwear brand Cicciabella appears to have little regard for CFDA guidelines on models under 16 after it allowed child beauty queen Eden Wood to gyrate in skimpy clothing on the catwalk

Celebrity endorsement: Eden's catwalk debut was at a show hosted by Real Housewife Kelly Bensimon


Earlier this month, the Parents Television Council expressed its fury over a new episode of Toddlers and Tiaras that saw a three-year-old dressed as a prostitute.

The TLC programme shows the child's mother dressing young Paisley up in a costume to mimic Julia Roberts' character from the 1990 hit movie, Pretty Woman.

According to RadarOnline.com, the organisation said: 'We have a serious problem when a network formerly known as The Learning Channel features a toddler, who probably hasn't even learned to read, dressed as a prostitute showing off her sexy strut.'

The PTC went on: 'There's no question, TV executives are complicit in robbing these small kids of their childhood.

'For years we've seen adult sexuality being inappropriately and aggressively foisted on innocent young children, but children today are being sexualized at younger and younger ages. All available data suggests they will suffer for it later in life.'

Eden, who retired from the child pageant circuit earlier this year after winning over 300 trophies, is now a household name thanks to the success of the reality show.

She was in New York for the final day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, for her first fashion endorsement, but given the ambitious plans of her mother, it promises to be the first of many.

In an interview with People today, Micki Wood, 46, said: 'We didn't look for these opportunities. They found us. We've been blessed and lucky.'

But according to reports, Eden has not always been displaying model behaviour. The child star attracted attention for all the wrong reasons on Wednesday when she threw a tantrum at the Allure Fashion Week Lounge.

The youngster, who was accompanied by her mother and agent, lost her temper when she was told she was too young to get her teeth whitened.

Representatives for GLO Brilliant has been offering visitors the chance to try a new home teeth-whitening device, but given that it is not recommended for those under 14, refused to let the kindergartener try it.

According to the New York Post, the youngster's agent attempted to defuse the situation by telling her, 'You don't have big girl teeth'.

But it did little to soothe the furious child, who wanted desperately to sample the new gadget.

A spokesman for GLO Brilliant later told MailOnline that the firm stood by its decision.

They said: 'Bottom line - her adult teeth have not even come in yet. Whitening is not recommended for children younger than 14 years of age. But [Eden] would look fabulous GLOing - she's just got a few more years to wait!'
