Reformed All Saints opt for smart-casual chic ahead of breakfast TV appearance as they gear up for forthcoming UK tour

It was thought to be over for good after an ill-fated reformation resulted in poor album sales and a general lack of interest from ambivalent fans.
But four-years after their subsequent split the All Saints girls were back together and ready for a TV appearance on Saturday morning as they prepare for a comeback tour this winter.
The four members, sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis, were making an appearance on BBC Breakfast in Salford, Manchester – five months after announcing plans to support fading nineties stars Backstreet Boys on the road across the UK and Ireland.

On a breezy day in the city, the girls wrapped up as they made their way across the Media City courtyard ahead of their latest interview.
The implicit dress code appeared to be smart-casual, and Melanie, 39, appeared to fully embrace it courtesy of her spotted monochrome blouse, skinny jeans and leopard print heels.
Likewise Shaznay, 38, opted for skinny jeans, matching them with a black varsity jacket and unusual monochrome boots.

The TOWIE spotlight was firmly fixed on Chloe Sims after it emerged she was secretly dating co-star Mario Falcone, but the tattooed hunk was nowhere in sight on Friday evening  as she enjoyed a late night out in Central London.

Chloe opted for a smart black and white ensemble on the night, with a breezy white vest top and pleated black skirt providing a neutral contrast to her striking gold heels and matching, briefcase themed handbag.

After the incident, Richie just simply watched the sisters walk away.

Julia Roberts' mother Betty Lou Motes has endured a difficult time over the past few months as she continues to battle cancer while coping with the loss of her youngest daughter Nancy to a suspected drug overdose in February.
And the Oscar winning actress is trying her best to help Betty Lou through it, most recently taking her mother to church in Los Angeles on Friday.
Julia, 46, looked a far cry from her usual glamorous self as she opted for a casual outfit, no make-up and messy hair for the church visit with her mother, who was smiling despite having to walk with the help of a cane.

Julia cancelled a number of public engagements following her sister's death in order to spend time with her family.

Cambridge goes wild for the Cambridges as 15,000 of New Zealand's most ardent Royalists turn out for the Duke and Duchess

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were greeted by some of the biggest crowds of their tour to New Zealand today.
More than 15,000 people turned out to greet the royal couple in Cambridge - a town where the entire population is just 18,000.
And while all were dazzled by the Duchess, who was wearing a stunning green Erdem coat, Kate admitted that her own husband wasn't a fan.
The royal wave: More than 15,000 people turned out to greet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on Saturday in New Zealand's town of Cambridge

She told local Evie Hayes, 68, who admired her outfit: 'I like it but William thinks it is a bit bright.'
Cambridge was named after George William Frederick Charles, Queen Victoria's first cousin and the second Duke of Cambridge.
For 39 years he was the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army and a powerful figure in the British establishment.

Two British generals decided to lend his name to a settlement at the head of the Waikato region.
The couple arrived to defeating cheers as they entered the local town hall to meet dignitaries and laid two red roses on the nearby War Memorial.
After the formalities were over, the couple embarked on a walkabout, shaking hands with dozens of members of the public, some of whom had slept out overnight.
The Duchess told Alison Pizzini, 75, a former midwife who complemented her on baby George: 'He can be a bit of a handful sometimes.'
She was also taken aback by rather eye-catching replica ornament of her holding her son when they left hospital.

Do casual Duchess like Kate Middleton in a double breasted jacket

In an attempt to be a little more casual than the last two days of engagements on this royal tour, the Duchess of Cambridge still looked super smart in her Zara double breasted jacket.
This is a look we are used to seeing on Kate Middleton, she has been seen a few times in the past in this shape jacket, and most of those occasions with shiny gold buttons - remember the smart Alexander McQueen coat she wore with the same colours? It's a fit that suits her slender frame perfectly.
And running with the nautical theme, the Duchess chose this Breton striped top from Me + Em to sit under the jacket, with her navy skinny jeans giving it a youthful and modern edge. Navy and cork wedges finished her look.
Ever the recycling fashionista, we remember Kate wearing nearly this exact outfit last year, except the blazer was slightly different. This particular one is from Zara's spring collection, but is not actually available to buy online at the moment.

A new kind of 'It' bag, with 3D handcuffs

Footballers wives are known for their amazing wardrobes and equally amazing 'It' handbag collections - just look to the likes of Alex Gerrard and Coleen Rooney for the latest and must-have carry-all from the high end designers. But Theo Walcott's wife, Melanie Slade, opted for a rather, erm, different option of bag here.
Her Vlieger and Vandam leather cross-body bag features embossed handcuffs. But if you think this one is amazingly different, you should see some other designers from the Dutch design duo.
Rihanna and Rita Ora have been seen carrying their 'Guardian Angel' bag, which has an embossed gun on the front, and gold studs too. Other options include a knife and a cross which appear as 3D on the front of clutches and totes.
We think their bags are quite fabulous, in a risqué, controversial kind of way. They are unique, and really well made, which for us, makes them definitely 'It' bag status.
Get yours on the right, or see some other stand out bags below.

Take it to the max with a ladylike lace dress

Always one to stay ahead of the fashion curve, Ferne McCann looked luxe in lace as she attended the Spider Man 2 première!
The TOWIE star teamed her lace panel maxi by Lipsy with simple strap heels, a magenta suede clutch and softy waved hair. Swit swoo!
Lucky Ferne has managed to snap up Lipsy's dress before it's even touched down online, but our friends over at Lipsy HQ have told us it's available in store now and lands on their website on Monday. We do love an inside track!
If Monday is just too far away, you can get Ferne's look elsewhere on the high street at Phase Eight, Whistles and Topshop. Lipsy have even created the dress in a wrap front version, which is perfect to flatter large busts and is available online now.
We'll be teaming our navy lace maxi's with gold strappy heels and berry lips. The red carpet awaits!

Make a style splash in Beyoncé's hot pink bikini

She might be causing controversy with her ‘did she didn’t she’ thigh gap, but you can’t deny that BeyoncĂ© was looking pretty spectacular as she played golf in her bikini in the Dominican Republic.
Teaming her Norma Kamali Modern Vintage bandeau with contrasting pink and white high-waisted bottoms the 32-year-old was channelling a super sophisticated retro look.
When it comes to holiday wardrobe staples, a vintage-inspired bandeau bikini is the perfect way to go. The flattering shape is guaranteed to look glamorous and is ideal for mixing and matching with contrasting colours. Sadly, her exact look is no longer available but Net-a-Porter do have a great selection of Norma Kamali pieces, perfect for SS14.
Alternatively, check out our pick of the hottest bandeau bikinis for some sizzling inspiration. We love Asos' huge array of mix and match options, one to suit ever size and body shape. But, if you're keen to invest, the Johnny ruched bikini (below), is the ideal designer staple

Create some drama in a sexy bandeau dress like Emma's

Well, this is an Emma Stone we can get on board with.
We've always liked the red headed actress but this look elevates her to a whole other fashion level. Emma is in Paris tonight at the French premiere of the new Spider Man movie and appropriately for her surroundings she chose a stand out dress by Parisian label Lanvin.
We've been enjoying her outfits on this promotional tour. We've had an androgynous Saint Laurent trouser suit and a stunning sunshine yellow Atelier Versace gown but this Gothic creation from Alber Elbaz takes the cake.
This is just divine with its draped ruching and thigh high split, the wide belt cinching in Emma's already tiny waist. The fact it's made from what looks like buttery soft leather just sends it overboard for us. It's got a touch of bondage and yet remains romantic. Emma, this is a ten out of ten from us.
Now, in the real world, there aren't many occasions on which we could wear a dress like this so let's take inspiration from one or two elements and go from there. Oh My Love has a leather look bandeau at Asos or go structured and belted by Matthew Williamson at Debenhams. Add heels and a side swept up-do to complete the look.

Ditch your blue denim and upgrade to white J Brand

Now that the sun has been paying us a visit on a more regular basis we're excited about putting away our winter clothes and unpacking our summer looks once more.
Of course, we're even more excited about shopping for some new season bits and pieces but we are fashion obsessed so what do you expect? And one of our first purchases will be a pair of bright white skinny jeans. Impractical? Yes. But stylish they are so it's time to update our denim collection.
Long gone are the days when white jeans were purely seen on Sloane Rangers and the Fulham and Chelsea ladies who lunch. They're a style staple now and Georgina Dorsett is demonstrating exactly why. The WAG and ex-TOWIE starlet looked positively radiant today in this pair of skinnies by designer denim label, J Brand. Paired with a slouchy, off the shoulder knit and aviator sunnies she looked every inch the spring time stunner.
And these jeans with their biker detailing on the knee are the best white jeans we've seen so far this year. Click the link (right) to buy them now from Selfridges. Being J Brand they are pricey to say the least so if you love the look but not the hole they'll make in your savings, then check out the similar styles we've found below.

We all have a few old pairs hanging around in drawers and boxes and in the car and at the bottom of our handbags... but we've treated them so badly it's definitely time to think about an update.

TOWIE Ferne looks fabulous in thigh-skimming skirt but shows a little more than expected in sheer top

Not one to miss out on celebrating a good cause, Ferne McCann kicked up her heels at the Cancer Research ‘Jog On To Cancer’ event in London on Wednesday evening.
The 23-year-old stuck the old Hollywood pose of kicking up her foot as she arrived at the Kensington Roof Gardens to a sea of flashbulbs.
The star-studded event attracted several other members of the TOWIE cast, old and new, including Lydia Bright, Jessica Wright and Gemma Collins.

Making a more dignified exit from the car, Charlie Sims’ on-off lover looked incredible with her toned legs on show.

Jamie Laing awkwardly embraces former flame Lucy Watson in the street

They’re love for one another has been on and off – with the new series of Made In Chelsea opening with their latest bickering.
But it would seem Jamie Laing and Lucy’s ice cold relationship is warming up a little as the 23-year-old former Teddies girl was seen laughing as she walked away her 25-year-old  beau.
All was not as it seemed, however, as just moments before the couple had a rather awkward embrace on the kerb when Jamie tried to greet Lucy with a kiss, but the socialite pulled away.

Wearing a denim shirt, cheeky chappy Jamie lunged in for a kiss when he spotted Lucy and her friend walking down the high street in Chelsea.
Looking rather unimpressed, Lucy pulled away from Jamie’s public display of affection while her friend looked on impatiently, with her arms crossed.
On Wednesday’s episode the pair had a heated discussion about the Candy Kitten’s entrepreneur’s recent behaviour.
Meeting in a local cafĂ©, a disgruntled Lucy had plenty to say about Jamie’s indiscretions during a trip to Miami with pal Spencer.
