'I felt disappointed, like I'd let him down'

Emily MacDonagh has opened up about the difficult birth of her 10-month-old son Theodore.

The 28-year-old appeared on Lorraine this morning, in her first interview without husband Peter Andre. On the show, she discussed having a C-section, and how long it took her to recover.

Emily MacDonagh appeared on Lorraine this morning

She told host Lorraine Kelly: ‘Theo was breach – I’d planned to have a natural labour but couldn’t. So it was a planned Caesarean in the end, which I wasn’t expecting.

‘I felt disappointed, like I’d let him down, because it is more risky having a C-section than a natural birth, so I was worried for him.

‘Obviously I looked into all the risks – I probably ended up worrying more than I should have done.’

Despite her fears, Emily – who also has daughter Amelia, three, with Pete – delivered Theo safely.

But it was what came after her operation that she found even tougher. She continued: ‘It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, in terms of managing the pain and struggling with breastfeeding, getting him in the right position.

‘Not being able to drive, just the silly things that when you’re a new mum makes it really hard. I couldn’t pick Milly up while I was recovering and it took a good six weeks to feel better.’

Luckily, she had Pete, 44, on hand to help. ‘He was fantastic – he had two people to look after, mum and baby,’ said Emily.

And… *EXCITING NEWS KLAXON* it looks like the couple could be expanding their family in the future.

When Lorraine, 57, asked: ‘But everything’s fine, everything’s okay? And should you want to have more you can?’ Emily responded: ‘I’d like to try with a natural birth next time. I say next time! I’m not…’

Another adorable Andre?! We’re ALL for it. And for the record, lady, you definitely didn’t let little Theo down.

The singer has explained why she wasn't been promoting her new music...

Selena Gomez has just taken to Instagram to share a health update with her fans.

It seems that many of her followers had been questioning why they hadn’t seen her for much of the summer, and she decided to open up about what had been going on behind the scenes.

Posting a photograph of herself in a hospital bed, the 25-year-old addressed the speculation.

She wrote: ‘I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of.

‘So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering.’

The star, who had already previously revealed that she had been diagnosed with the autoimmune disease, continued: ‘It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you.’

Thanking those around her, Selena added: ‘Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery.

‘And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis.’

Raising awareness of her condition, Selena signed off: ‘Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made. For more information regarding Lupus please go to the Lupus Research Alliance website: www.lupusresearch.org/‘.

Her fans, of course, were extremely supportive. Comments included: ‘We always with you…’, ‘You are very strong! The whole world is proud of you!’ and ‘ you are so strong. i’m so proud of you both!!’

Back in 2013, Selena took a much-speculated break from music, having been suffering from lupus.

‘I was diagnosed with lupus, and I’ve been through chemotherapy. That’s what my break was really about. I could’ve had a stroke,’ Selena told Billboard.

We’re sending Selena all of our love.

The reality star has shared her opinion on Bear and Char's turbulent relationship...

It’s no secret that reality TV stars Charlotte Crosby and Stephen Bear have faced their fair share of ups and downs in their relationship.

Particularly recently, as both Char and Bear have taken to social media reveal that on multiple occasions they have split.

However, it looks like the pair are currently doing everything hey can to make things work together – despite having had a few tense tiffs recently on Channel 5’s Celebrity Ghost Hunt Live.

But now fellow Ex On The Beach star Kayleigh Morris has spoken to OK! magazine and revealed that things really aren’t as they seem between the couple…

‘I hope now she’s with another one of my exes, Bear, she actually grows up, and it’s actually real,’ she began.

‘I’ve been told the relationship is fake,’ the former Big Brother contestant slammed.

Kayleigh went on: ‘At first, I’ve been told it was to boost the ratings of their show, which does make sense. She’s very known, and he’s very known…With regards to them being in love, I think she probably is – but I know for a fact he’s not.’

WHAT? We hate hearing this.

But the Welsh brunette beauty didn’t stop there: ‘I just think he’s… At first he had no interest in Charlotte, but clearly realised if they had a thing going on, it would boost the ratings of Just Tattoo Of Us.’

‘I honestly hope it’s not, I hope they’re actually in love and it’s real,’ she clarified. ‘But in reality TV these days, I don’t know what’s real and what’s fake.’

Bear and Char haven’t commented on Kayleigh’s claims, but we are keeping our fingers crossed that this isn’t that case.

The Pillowtalk singer admitted they were never pals EVEN when they were in the band together...

Former One Direction singer Zayn Malik has revealed that he was never friends with fellow band-mate Harry Styles.

Sorry, 1D fans.

The 24-year-old boyfriend of model Gigi Hadid opened up about some surprising truths from the boy-band days…

Chatting to Us Magazine about the 23-year-old Sign Of The Times singer, and it wasn’t particularly flattering.

‘To be honest, I never really spoke to Harry – even when I was in the band,’ he shockingly revealed to the publication. ‘So I didn’t really expect that much of a relationship with him.’

Zayn, who has previously had a bit of Twitter beef with fellow 1D member Louis Tomlinson, went on to discuss how he feels about the other two ex-members of the band, Niall Horan and Liam Payne.

‘It’s complicated,’ he confessed. ‘We’re in touch. Everything is on a civil level. It’s not the way it used to be, obviously.’

See: Fans Are Furious As Zayn Malik Debuts Shock New Look

‘We were spending 24 hours a day in the band, now we’re growing as individual men but we still check in,’ Zayn continued.

So we guess this means Zayn would NEVER consider a One Direction reunion, right?

Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid began dating in November 2015

Well… We do actually have a bit of good news for you 1D fans.

‘If I wanted to come back in 10, 15 years time, then yeah, why not?’ Zayn revealed.

‘I don’t know. If I didn’t want to [be in the band] then I might not. It just depends on how I’m feeling at the time.’

The singer explained why he’s preferring the solo life right now: ‘We were basically going at, like, 500 miles per hour. We did everything to an extreme in the band. [Now] it’s not as full on, it’s not as extreme, it’s not as in-your-face. It’s at my own pace. So this way, it feels 100 times more manageable. It’s just easier. It’s a lot less work.’

Well, we’re still going to keep our fingers crossed that the boys’ comeback tour will happen soon…

A pair of good shoes can make an outfit, and a pair of good heels can transform one.

High heels have the power to instantly alter your mood and confidence like no other item in your wardrobe. Slipping into a pair of sky-high stilettos makes you feel ready for anything whether that is an interview for that dream job, a big date, or a night out on the tiles.

What we also love about a pair of trusty heels is their ability to completely elevate the most simple of outfits. Throw on some jeans and a plain white shirt and your outfit may be pretty ordinary but by adding a pair of statement shoes you can make it something much for exciting. Statement shoes have the ability to turns heads, and demand attention.

To help you on your quest to find that perfect pair of high heels we have scoured the shops for the best heeled beauties. Including pairs from high street favourites Topshop, River Island and New Look, each one of these gems is affordable as well as totally stylish.

The pointed court shoe is still a popular and wearable heel option. Available in a rainbow of hue’s we’re loving nude pink, shiny metallics, and eye-popping gold.

Cage heels are another trend that is still reigning the high street. With sexy cut out details these gems are made for party dressing. If these aren’t for you, platforms or black strappy heels are failsafe party options.

This season shoe details are also bigger than ever. Pom-poms, ankle-straps and tassels all make an appearance in our round-up.

As Marilyn Monroe famously said: “I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.” We couldn’t put it better ourselves.

Forget Kim K, Holly is breaking the internet...

We all remember that Kim K champagne bum shot that ‘broke the internet’ right? Well, this picture is getting just the *same amount of attention. *Kind of.

Most of us follow Holly for two reasons 1) to see what LOLs she is having with This Morning co-star Phil and 2) to see what amazing outfits she is wearing on the show.

And, this exactly why everyone is going crazy over this shot she posted in a striped dress, and we’ve found out where the whole top-to-toe outfit is from.

You can get the dress from online retailer Sosandar and the black strap heels are from Ego.co.uk so you can recreate this entire outfit. If we can look exactly like mega-babe Holly then we’re sold.

Striped dress, £79, Sosandar.com

Gracie heels, £29.99, ego.co.uk

So, back to why this outfit caused such a stir. The presenter has always been known for her amazing curves, but recently fans have spotted that she’s looking slimmer and they want to know the secret.

With some followers saying ‘Wow holly, you have lost loads of weight, you looked amazing as u were but you look amazing now and you have made me want to lose weight’ and ‘You look amazing, so skinny, what’s your secret?’.

She later revealed on a Lorraine appearance that the reason for her recent weight loss is “The children are a little bit older, so I’ve got a little bit more for myself. I’m quite active and I try not to let the way I look be the main focus because it’s not the important thing. I’m one of those people that thinks if you feel happy and healthy that’s all that matters.”

We thinks she looks amazing, and we can’t wait to see more of her Insta outfits.

It looks like the singer is BACK, people!

Not only have we recently been treated to Cheryl’s first post-baby appearance at the Game 4 Grenfall charity football match (where she looked absolutely incredible) but she was also on This Morning earlier this week doing her first post-baby interview.

And now, we’ve got even better news for Cheryl fans…

The star has taken to Twitter to share a seriously strong hint that she’s going to be releasing music very soon.

Eek!

Cheryl showed off her incredible post-baby body for the first time recently

Asking her followers for help, Cheryl tweeted: ‘Yoo hoo can you tweet me the songs from my albums that you think should’ve been singles please [sic]’ and fans rushed to answer her.

‘Last One Standing, Happy Hour!!!!!, Love Killer, Happy Tears, Raindrops. YOUR WHOLE DISCOGRAPHY [sic]’ one thrilled fan responded, while another agreed that there were just too many songs to choose from: ‘All in one night. Although Throwback was also my bop. You’ve made too many hits sis it’s hard to choose’

See: Cheryl Tells Liam Payne That She’s Not Ready For Another Baby

‘LMAO!! Same I was about to be like every single song even the bonus tracks on all four albums don’t play with me [sic]’ one follower joked around with Cheryl, whereas another seemed intrigued at what the Geordie beauty was up to: ‘But what are you up to Chezza?  Tbh any track from the A Million Lights album could’ve been a single. Such a masterpiece, your greatest imo [sic]’

More: Viewers React To Cheryl’s Comeback Interview On This Morning

And it seems that Cheryl didn’t just reach out to her fans with that tweet, but ALSO to her ex-bandmate/frenemy Sarah Harding, who tweeted her back suggesting Cheryl’s hit Fight For This Love is ‘the one’: ‘Hey stranger!…U know FFTL will always be the one #TrueToTheGame [sic]’

And despite rumours circulating recently that Chezza and Sarah’s fued was worse than ever and Cheryl had unfollowed her fellow Girls Aloud singer, Cheryl responded with the kiss and wink emojis alongside the hashtag: ‘#alwaystrue’

Aw, this makes us so happy. And we seriously can’t WAIT to see what Cheryl’s got up her sleeve…

It's going to be a very merry Christmas

If you’re a fan of prosecco, we have the BEST. NEWS. EVER.

It’s time to get yourself down to Aldi, as the supermarket has announced that they’ll be selling a three-litre bottle over the Christmas period. Yes, you read that right. THREE WHOLE LITRES.

See: You Can Now ACTUALLY Grow Your Own Prosecco From Home

FYI, this makes it four times the average bottle size, and serves 24 whole glasses of crisp bubbly.

Oh, and the best part? It’s only £39.99! To put that into context, similar jeroboams are on sale at Selfridges for just under £100.

Sorry for all the capitals here, but we’re really quite excited.

Here it is! Aldi’s GINORMOUS bottle of prosecco

The drink is 11% ABV and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. According to the creators, it boasts a ‘sweet, delicate and dry’ taste with ‘wisteria flowery notes’.

It’s ‘a beautifully pale straw colour’, and ‘the nose is light with a reassurance of fresh citrus fruits and wisteria flower’. On the palate, the wine is ‘delicate yet serious, with a refreshing acidity and soft sherbet taste’.

It was produced in Veneto, Italy, and will be available in Aldi stores and online from 14 November.

We have a feeling it’ll be a sell-out, so you’ll want to get in there quick. We mean, you’ll have to fight us to get to the front of the queue…

Aldi’s alcohol aisle is having quite a moment RN. Two months ago, its £9.97 Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin was crowned one of the best in the world at a prestigious international spirits competition.

It received a gold medal at the International Wine and Spirits Competition, beating a bottle that costs four times the price at £39.95.

Christmas party sorted, eh guys?!

The LOOK team give their honest feedback on the newest high street makeup collection from Boohoo - which starts from just £4...

It’s official; Boohoo make-up is here.

It’s been a big week for beauty launches, what with Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty collection hitting (and flying off of) the shelves, and the buzz that continues to surround the ASOS beauty range (out next week).

So when we heard that Boohoo had launched their very own exciting collection of cosmetics, we couldn’t wait to get our hands on it and try it for ourselves.

The range includes liquid lipsticks, eyeshadow palettes, setting spray, contour and highlight palettes. It even boasts lip kits (Kylie Jenner inspired, perhaps?!) for just £5.

With new products being released throughout September, prices range from £4-£19 – yup, those Boohoo prices we’ve come to love and rely on.

But what did we think…?

Boohoo Liquid Lipstick, £8.00 (pack of three) 

Laura Jane Turner wears the Boohoo Liquid Lipstick

Laura says…

I’m such a liquid lipstick convert (cream lippy is just so last year) so, natch, this was the first product that I dived right into.

Presented to me as a pack of three, one shade grabbed my attention instantly. Annoyingly, they didn’t seem to have a shade number, but it was the one in the middle (in case you’re wondering).

With one coat, my pout was a beautiful berry red hue and the colour didn’t bleed (a pet hate of mine).

I loved the matte finish and it didn’t feel particularly drying – winning!

Having kept it on while I ate my lunch, I have to confess that it didn’t exactly stand its ground against my fish finger sandwich.

But, when you’re getting three beaut colours for just £8, it’s hard to complain about that.

Boohoo Matte Lipstick in Nude, £4

Anna Duff wears Boohoo’s nude lipstick

Anna says…

Anyone who knows me knows I love a good nude lippy. They’re chic enough for a night in a bar, but aren’t too OTT to pop on for work or a shopping trip. In fact, I always keep one in my handbag just in case I end up on a spontaneous night out/dinner date/a meeting that I need to look like I haven’t just woken up in.

Not gonna lie, I may have lost a Mac or two in my life. Because, y’know, prosecco. So at £4, I thought Boohoo’s mocha-coloured offering could be perfect as my new purse staple.

At first glance I really liked the shade, but it took a bit of building up to get a good pigment on my lips. I’d say I had to apply it 3-4 times.

It passed my selfie test – I have a real issue with nude lipsticks not showing up in photos, but that definitely wasn’t the case here.

I feel like I’d need to top it up quite regularly if I were to wear it while eating or drinking. But again, for £4, I’m not complaining. So… Into the handbag it goes!

Boohoo Three Shade Bronzer Palette, £6

Laura Jane Turner wears the Boohoo bronzer

Laura says…

I’m guilty of piling on the bronzer. Naturally I’m pretty pale and pasty (just call me Casper) and I don’t like to use fake tan on my face, so a good bronzer is pretty high on my make-up bag’s list of priorities.

I already have a firm favourite (it’s YSL, FYI) but I really like the fact that Boohoo’s offering comes with three different shades as part of a palette.

I opted for the one on the left to hollow my cheekbones, and then I blended it out with the shimmery shade in the centre. This acted a little like a highlighter, and I really liked the finish.

I would definitely use this again! It’s perfect for an everyday face.

Boohoo Eight Shade Bronze Eye Palette, £10

Victoria Adegboyega tried out the Boohoo eyeshadow palette

Victoria says…

On first impressions the eyeshadow palette looked lovely! I thought the selection of colours were perfect for an easy smokey eye, and I couldn’t wait to give it a go.

Unfortunately, when I applied the shadows I found the pigments didn’t show up as well on my skin as I would have liked them too, but with a little layering up I got a nice finish. Overall the colours were really nice.

Boohoo Liquid Lipstick, £8.00 (pack of three) 

Victoria also tried the Boohoo liquid lipstick

Victoria says…

The lip shade was very pretty and it dried to a lovely matte finish. I did find it a little tricky to put on, as the applicator didn’t seem to pick up a lot of product at first.

It took a few applications, but I was really pleased with the end result.

And Kem's girlfriend Amber Davies was watching from home, sharing her hilarious reaction...

Love Island‘s Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay were arguably one of the most popular duos to have come out of this summer’s series.

Dubbing themselves ‘brothers’ during their time on the show, the loveable pair have since secured their own ITV spin-off show and a number of joint appearances, including a guest spot on this week’s Celebrity Juice. 

See: Love Island’s Chris Hughes Jumps To Girlfriend Olivia’s Defence On Social Media

Joining Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby (who, it has to be said, was super excited about having them on the show), Chris and Kem took their seats on the panel for Thursday night’s episode.

Keith Lemon gave them the opportunity to talk about one of their latest ventures – a joint fitness DVD.

The presenter asked if the news was true, and Kem said: ‘With Chris, yeah….’

Chris then added: ‘We have it on pre-order.’

Giving them the chance to plug it, Keith then asked: ‘What’s it called?’

Awkwardly Chris looked a little confused, suggesting that he may have forgotten the name of his own product. And he couldn’t really rely on best friend Kem, as he looked just as baffled.

LOL.

But that wasn’t the only talking point from their hilarious appearance.

Kem and Chris also took part in a NSFW segment called, er, The Great British Love-Off.

Yup. Involving eclairs and some naughty positions, the pair certainly had the audience in stitches.

Kem’s girlfriend Amber tuned in, sharing her live reaction with her followers.

Posting a clip on Instagram, she wrote: ‘They okay @oliviajade_attwood ?????’

The reality babe then said that she didn’t think she would be eating a chocolate eclair again!

Viewers at home had a lot to say as well, with Twitter comments including: ‘Not gonna lie , watching Chris and Kem lick the chocolate off of each others eclaires has got me all flustered #CelebJuice [sic]’ and ‘#CelebJuice omg I’m crying!!!@@ Chris and kem [sic]’.

LOLs.

Knee high boots are the perfect day-to-night footwear essential. From heels to flats, suede to leather, we take a look at all the best long boots out there.

There’s no doubt about it, knee high boots are having a bit of fashion moment right now.

From thigh high heeled beauties, to super practical-come-stylish flats, boots that pack a bit of height are shooting to the very top of our  lust list this season and we can’t wait to shop the trend. And yes, whilst we all mourn the end of the summer months, there’s something very exciting about selecting those all-important fall staples to be worn day after day once the weather turns cooler – and luckily for us, the long boot trend is one that will take us all the way into next year and beyond.

And the great thing about investing in a pair of long boots is that there really is a style to suit every shape and budget, plus, you’ll be spending the rest of the season feeling so snug in your new signature boots that you won’t even notice that it’s miserable outside. Happy days.

Channel your inner ’70s diva with a pair of tan or mink coloured suede platform boots like the ones we found in L.K Bennett. Pair with a patch pocket denim midi skirt and a super soft roll-neck sweater for ultimate That ’70s Show vibes, or else embrace a more rockster edge by teaming with leather shorts and an oversized boyfriend knit. Just don’t forget a signature lip.

SEE: ’70s Fashion: The Vintage-Inspired Trend We’re Loving

A flat, classic riding boot like those we saw in Zara will provide the perfect winter office update when worn with a jacquard print skirt and blazer, and will also look just as sophisticated when dressed down at the weekends over skinny jeans and your favourite plaid overshirt. Of course, you can’t go far wrong with a basic black colourway, but don’t be frightened to embrace prints such as snake or leopard if you want to add a bit more interest to a dark seasonal wardrobe.

And don’t forget, a heeled long boot will also help work your capsule wardrobe that bit harder once the busy party season rolls around. Especially a bold Balenciaga inspired sock boot like these could-be-catwalk styles from Office.

So here we are ladies, all the best knee high boots from the high street and beyond. Happy shopping.

This is pretty surprising...

Patrick J Adams is the handsome hunk who stars as the main man Mike in hit American drama Suits.

Mike’s love interest, Rachel, is played by none other that Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle.

And now the actor – who is married to Pretty Little Liar‘s Troian Bellisario – spoke to Esquire about the reason he had to delete a snap he posted online of co-star Meghan kissing his cheek.

‘I’m not good at it, I overthink every post that I put out and the ramifications and who’ll be listening and how it’ll be received,’ he discussed how he handles social media.

‘I posted this old photo I had found of Meghan and I on set. I went to bed, and woke up in the morning and realised ‘Oh, yeah, I live in a world where you can’t post things about Meghan…” Patrick continued.

The star went on to reveal the backlash he faced after posting the picture: ‘I had this onslaught of people retweeting the thing, people thinking it was a recent picture, and I just thought, ‘What the hell is going on?”

He added: ‘It was such an innocent moment of sentimentality that was twisted into something totally different. It made me feel like… why put myself through this?’

‘We’re like brother and sister,’ Patrick concluded. ‘It’s not like it was lurid or anything, but it just became a story that people wanted to talk about.’

Meghan reportedly met The Queen recently while she visited Harry’s father Prince Charles, which has fuelled rumours that the pair are engaged.

A source told the Us Weekly: ‘It went well. It’ll no doubt be the first of many encounters. She fits perfectly into the family. The difference in backgrounds means absolutely nothing.’

Eek! We’re keeping our fingers crossed for another royal wedding soon…

The 22-year-old's ex is said to have hooked up with their co-star...

Love Island‘s Montana Brown has given her two cents on those rumours about Alex Beattie and Chyna Ellis.

If you watched this year’s series, you’ll know that the 22-year-old went official with Alex, 21, in the villa. Alex even dropped the ‘L-bomb’, but sadly, they ended things shortly after the show wrapped.

Since then, Mon’s jetted off to LA and announced a collection with PrettyLittleThing, while Alex has been busy making club appearances across the UK.

But according to reports, he has managed to fit in time for a little romance… Ooh.

He and Chyna, 23, have been seen looking cosy on one another’s social media pages, and a source tells The Sun: ‘They spent an evening together and definitely hooked up. They really fancy each other and enjoy one another’s company.

‘It just happened the one time, they’re making the most of life outside the villa and Alex is enjoying being single.’

We wouldn’t have been surprised if Mon’ had felt a little weird about the news.

But she insists she’s cool with her ex moving on, saying: ‘I wasn’t surprised to be honest, just because she’s looking for somebody, I think Alex might be looking for somebody, he’s attractive, she’s attractive, so good luck to them.

‘It doesn’t bother me at all. Alex and I broke up, that’s fine, I like him as a person, we’re just not romantically there anymore.

‘I don’t think we’re very compatible, so us breaking up was the best, and I think he wants a girlfriend so maybe Chyna was the next on the list.’

Oh, how things can change in a month…

Wide legged trousers are certainly having a moment right now. Offering a cooler alternative to a standard tapered leg. With the ’70s trend taking over the shops – and every A-Listers wardrobe – they’re the simplest way to give your outfit a quick update.

For a low-key approach to the wide-leg trouser, teams hers with a relaxed T-shirt and trainered or take yours from desk-to-dinner by swapping your loafers for heels.

We’ve picked out the very best that the high street has to offer…

The actress has shared her go-to product...

Suranne Jones is BACK as our favourite vengeful Doctor in series two of BBC hit drama Doctor Foster.

And if you haven’t watched it yet guys, you seriously need to… As Gemma Foster is more scheming than ever as her ex-husband is back in town and ready to ruin her whole life.

Not only has he got the house, the job, the new wife and the new baby, but now Simon has turned their son Tom against Gemma and is ready to run her out of town.

Yep, it’s getting SERIOUSLY juicy.

And lord knows why Simon has it in for Gemma, as there’s one thing that can’t be argued about Suranne Jones in the drama… She looks totally amazing.

The new mum is completely glowing on and off screen, and she’s let her fans in to a little secret about how she achieves the beauty hack.

*Round of applause*

All hail Simply Be for kicking off London Fashion Week in style.

Last night they showed their latest autumn/winter collection on models covering all their size ranges from 10-26. Debuting as the UK’s most inclusive runway show, their diverse models put on an amazing show.

Stars walking in the show included Tess Holliday, Hayley Hasselhoff, Callie Thorpe, Felicity Hayward, Kelly Knox, Sonny Turner and Ali Tate, and they all looked amazing.

Model Hayley Hasselhoff (top right) has said “When the guys at Simply Be asked me to be involved I jumped at the chance. It’s amazing to see Simply Be bringing more diversity on the runway because, after all, celebrating fashion shouldn’t be dependent on dress size. The Curve Catwalk is about representing beauty in all and empowering women to love themselves through fashion.” Here here Hayley.

Kelly Knox (top left), Diversity campaigner and the UK’s leading disabled model said “Fashion should not be defined by ability, size, age, colour or gender choice. Fashion is for everybody.” And we couldn’t agree more.

Research from Simply Be showed that 89% of the 2000 women questioned didn’t feel that their size was represented in main stream advertising, on runways, on TV and in the fashion press.  Last night’s show was a celebration showing that fashion is for everyone regardless of size or shape, and we were proud to watch the fabulous women strutting their stuff in the new collection.

The new drop is so gorgeous you’ll want to shop the lot. From velvet frocks to sequins and leopard print there’s everything you need to kick-start you winter wardrobes.

We’ve got our eye on the blue printed kimono co-ord Hayley Hasselhoff wore, it’s a major trend to tick off for new season and it’ll still inject some colour in to your outfits.

They came out in T-shirts showing their sizes for the finale and we’re not surprised they look this happy when they were part of such an amazing show.

The collection is starting to drop in store and on site now so get shopping, ladies.

A lot.

Sportswear comes and goes. Primark has an offering we can’t get enough of, while there’s a whole load of retro revivals doing the rounds. But there’s one in particular we can’t stop thinking about: PUMA’s Velvet Rope collection. There are a few reasons for this:

1. It’s completely different to our usual gym kit. PUMA says, “Inspired by the New York City ballet, the PUMA Velvet Rope collection is all about slaying doubts, living fierce and pushing boundaries.” We’ll go into more detail about the aesthetics in a moment, but think mesh panels and rose gold detail. Yup.

2. It trumps all leggings/sports bras/shorts/vests in the femininity stakes. The Velvet Rope line is targeted at urban ballet and aerial workouts (don’t worry- it works for running/squatting/lifting, too), so it’s all about lengthening the legs and highlighting ladylike curves.

3. It’s comfortable. You know how certain gymwear is so comfortable you’d happily keep it on all day if you could? Well, this beats everything- and we mean, everything- we’ve tried before.

Tights, £55, PUMA Velvet Rope collection

4. It’s inspired by Rihanna. The collection comes as part of PUMA’s Do You campaign, which is all about championing individuality. As Riri once said, “I dare myself to make things work. I don’t do things for the response or controversy. I just live my life.” Preach.

Besides all that, the collection is just down right bloomin’ beautiful. It comes in a palette of black and rose gold, while there’s everything from tights to an all-in-one bodysuit to die for. Seriously. To recap, you’re looking at the hottest sportswear collection of the season. And it’s available now.
