Celebrity Trends: Best Bikinis

Hi VIPs! Now the sun is making more of an appearance, we’re starting to think about holidays. Long days lazing by the pool, watching the sun set from a beach bar, taking a boat trip to see some sights…bliss!

How many bikinis do you pack when you go away? Every girl needs at least two as they never dry properly overnight and there’s nothing worse than putting on wet swimwear. However, it’s best to take three – just to be on the safe side. That’s why we’ve picked our three fave celeb-inspired swimsuits. Let’s dive into:

(1) Bella Hadid’s red bikini

 

Bella is a model so she has a fantastic figure and she flaunts it by keeping her bikini simple. The red colour is bold but the shape is a simple triangle top and the overall look is chic and understated, even though it’s red.

Even better news is that it’s so affordable to copy with the Missguided triangle bikini top, which is £10 with briefs £8.

 

(2) Ferne McCann’s gold bikini

 

The TOWIE star turned TV presenter looked stunning in an animal print bikini in the Maldives. She’s left Essex a long way behind, literally and fashion-wise. Her exact bikini is a bit pricey with the Pretty Pink Princess Xena -python print – bikini, being£95.98, but it does look super expensive and will get tons of compliments.

 

(3) Rita Ora’s leopard print swimsuit

 

Rita looks fabulous in her swimsuit, showing that you don’t have to get your stomach out to look fabulous. A swimsuit like Rita’s actually a real bargain – the Boohoo leopard print swimming costume is £20 from ASOS

 

So when are you booking your hols? Have a fabulous time!

Get The Look: Celebrity Ath-leisure

It’s been around for a while but the sportswear as leisurewear trend is definitely here to stay. So much so that it even has it’s own name – athleisure. Models are lounging around in it, pop stars are rocking it on nights out and TV stars are filming in it. Not only is it super comfortable but it serves as great inspiration to actually go to the gym as the trend is easier to pull off if you actually look sporty.

Here are five particularly fabulous celebs with their own sportswear ranges that we can copy. If you want to work out and chill like a celeb you need these brands in your life:

Celeb Trends: Black Jumpsuits

Hi VIPs! How’s January going for you? The LLAVIP doesn’t believe in Dry January as we do everything in moderation and that includes partying. A little bit of fun a day never harmed anyone did it?

However, at this time of year it is freezing – way too cold for a party dress. We’ve noticed the celebs think that too and have been wearing jumpsuits more. If we want to Live Like a VIP then we must do the same! Plus we get to stay warm. We like that idea. Below are our fave long sleeve and short sleeve jumpsuits worn by the stars:

Chrissy Teigen

 

Chrissy looked so chic in a long sleeve jumpsuit with a plunging neckline as it really flattered her figure, giving her a killer silhouette. It’s similar to the Fashion Union tuxedo jumpsuit, which is an absolute steal at just £32.

Cameron Diaz

 

Cameron showed off her toned arms and athletic physique in a more revealing short sleeve jumpsuit – if you’ve done the bicep curls and tgricep dips then you should show them off! A good jumpsuit for this is the Myleene Klass gold trim jumpsuit  from Very.co.uk, which is so flattering and very good value for money at £40.

 

Which one do you like the most? There are lots of styles of jumpsuits out right now so you will find one that suits you – and keeps you warm. Tweet us when you wear one – @livelikeavip – we’d love some inspiration!

Now have a great day and we’ll be back tomorrow with some more celeb and music news.

Celeb Party Dresses: Get The Look

Now we’re midway through December, we have seen A LOT of party dresses. For the celebs, the Christmas parties started back in December and now we’ve moved on to award ceremonies like the British Fashion Awards, the Critic’s Choice Awards and the BBC Music Awards. To say it’s a busy time of year is an understatement.

However, the busier it is means the more inspiration we can take from the celebs’ outfits. We’ve picked our top 3 most Christmassy looking outfits because to look at too many dresses can be overwhelming, We just want the best!

(1) Fearne Cotton at the BBC Music Awards

 

Wow – what a party dress. You couldn’t get more festive than red AND sequins. And to top it off, you could get a similar dress for £85 – the Jessica Wright Sistaglam dress from Debenhams.

(2)  Naomi Campbell at the British Fashion Awards

 

She’s one of the original supers and she looks stunning in lace! Lace is ideal for the party season and this is better than most as it’s just so sexy without giving too much away due to the suit underneath. You can create a similar effect of hinting at what’s underneath for less than £50! The Ebonie and Ivory low black lace dress from ASOS is £48.

(3) Lucy Mecklenburgh at the Pride of Sport Awards

We just can’t help it – red is the best colour for party season. Lucy’s dress has a hint of the Spanish flamenco about it and the split at the front is just so pretty, showing off her legs slightly but not too much. The best thing about it is that we can copy her exact dress – it’s the V by Very origami pleat dress from Very.co.uk and it’s great value at £85.

Which of the 3 did you like the best?

Trends: Jumpsuits To Party In

Hi VIPs! Do you want to look like a celebrity this Christmas party season? Do you like taking risks? If so, it’s time to try the jumpsuit.

Here are 3 ways the celebs are wearing them – in white, strapless and with long sleeves:

Cara Delevingne (strapless)

 

The supermodel wears a lot of jumpsuits, but one of my favourites is this strapless black jumpsuit as it’s daring and bold – just like Cara. It’s also clearly a jumpsuit that you’d wear on a night out! It’s like the Miss Selfridge bandeau tux tie waist jumpsuit – £55 from Very.co.uk.

Malin Ackerman (white)

 

Malin wears  a white jumpsuit with a plunging v-neck detail. It reminds me of the Skyla white choker v-neck jumpsuit, which is an absolute steal at just £15 from Miss Pap.

Nicole Scherzinger (long sleeves)

 

The X Factor judge always looks gorgeous and what I like about her long sleeve jumspuit is that you can dress it up or down. You can wear it to meetings or you can wear it on a night out. A similar one is the wrap long sleeve jumpsuit from Missguided, which is also a bargain at £18.

Which one’s your fave?

Tuesday Trends: Amazing Ankle Boots

Hi VIPs! It’s that time of week where we look at trends. Last week, we did the humble beanie hat that celebs are wearing to keep their heads nice and toasty this winter in a cool, casual way. This week, we want to do something more glamorous!

We’ve been studying lots of photos of celebrities out and about and one thing that makes us excited is seeing that there are some fabulous ankle boots around at the moment. These are boots that will make doing any daytime chore feel more exciting as you’ll be doing it in style, but these are also boots that you can get away with wearing on a night out as they look so smart.

Let’s get straight to what the celebs are wearing and look at how to copy:

(1) Gigi Hadid – the suede ankle boot

A suede boot is the perfect day to night boot and works with skirts as well as trousers. Olive green looks lovely with most colour outfits – try the Clarks Breccan myth ankle boots, which are just £62 from Very.co.uk

(2) Rosie Huntington-Whiteley – the above-ankle boot

An ankle boot that goes just above the knee with a high heel and a strap detail screams sex-appeal. The wearer is strong and in control and does not compromise. Rosie’s boots are similar to the Jones Bootmaker’s Natalia ankle boots (£70).

(3) Rihanna – the lace ankle boot

A lace ankle boot is for people who like to be ahead of the crowd. It’s edgy while still being feminine and makes jeans look a lot more fabulous. Get the look for just £75 at Topshop.

What was your favourite style?

Tuesday Trends: Winter Beanie Hats

HI VIPs, Happy November! We hope you treated yourself to something special last night. If not, do it tonight. It’s Tuesday, what more of an excuse do you need?

It’s the time of week when we look at trends and as we’ve done a lot of party dresses recently, we wanted to look at something a little bit more practical for everyday use. Step forward the humble beanie. It may look average, but the celebs love them. That’s because they’re easy to wear, warm and snug – like a hug for the head.

Let’s have a look at the stars for inspiration:

Rihanna

Rihanna’s cool, street grey beanie is like the Monki ribbed logo beanie hat from ASOS. It’s simple but with a small logo – understated but screams attitude!

Taylor Swift

Match your lipstick to your hat like Taylor! Her red hat is very similar to a red hat that’s just £7.50 at M&S

Ciara

 

Ciara’s so pretty and while we may not be blessed with her genes, we can at least get a hat like hers. The black Original beanie hat from New Look is an absolute bargain at £7.99.

Irina Shayk

Model Irina Shayk knows a lot about fashion and she’s wearing a beanie so it must be cool. Hers is like the North Face cable minna beanie from Very.co.uk

Which one do you like most?

Celeb Trends: Over The Knee Boots

Hi VIPs! How’s your week going? The weather’s definitely feeling fresher and crisper now , isn’t it?

This is an excuse to indulge in some new clothes to keep us warm and cosy this Autumn.

The first thing to think about is footwear because if our feet feel good then we do too. Also, if you have fabulous shoes, then the rest of the outfit takes a back seat. This season is all about the over the knee boot. Let’s have a look at how the celebs are wearing them:

Rita Ora

Rita looks stunning in suede boots. They remind me of the Head Over Heels Skylar over the knee boots from Very.co.uk

Gigi Hadid

 

Gigi Hadid shows that over the knee boots look as good for day as they do for night. Try the Carvela tie over the knee boots from Very.co.uk.

Rihanna

 

Rihanna’s over the knee boots stand out for their PVC style. They’re like the Public Desire Halloween point black heeled boots from Asos and they are a bargain at £49.99.

Jessica Alba

Jesscia Alba looks pretty and feminine in her over the knee boots, showing that you don’t just have to wear then on a night out. The bow detail reminds me the River Island tie back over the knee boots that are just £75 from Asos.

Whose boots do you envy the most? They’re not super expensive, are they? Treat yourself now and you’ll get more use out of them this Autumn!

Have a great day and we’ll be back tomorrow with a round-up of celebrity gossip.
