Be bright and breezy in florals from L.K. Bennett

Another day and another opportunity for the Duchess of Cambridge to show off her expertly chosen Royal Tour wardrobe. She's really on a roll right now and so far she's sported every colour of the rainbow (or so it seems!). She's done dressed up and down, and worn a different designer almost every day.
But floral print is a new addition to the list. She chose this bright and breezy look for their day in Brisbane, which she paired with a matching blue clutch bag.
And the print isn't the only first. We're super excited to say that this is the first time she's worn a high street look for a formal event on this tour. Her L.K. Bennett dress is also available in orange, but we love this rather regal blue hue as well as the pretty poppy print.
But don't get too excited. Of course, everything Kate touches turns to gold, so this dress was already sold out before she even stepped off the plane today. Her fashion fans seems to be psychic!
However, there's a very similar style still in stock on the L.K. Bennett site (see below), or you could even try the trend with their poppy print T-shirt. Alternatively, shop the floral frocks we've found that are all fit for a Duchess

Accent your look with Kate's Beulah blossom scarf

Even on her off-duty days the Duchess of Cambridge dresses with such sophistication and aplomb that we can’t take our eyes off her. On a rare night off from their Royal tour the couple attended a rugby union match in Sydney and, unsurprisingly, Kate’s dressed-down ensemble was the talk of the town once again.
Sporting her signature skinny jeans and a simple grey sweater, the Duchess accented her look with a pretty floral scarf by Beulah London. One of her favourite brands, Kate is regularly spotted in their classic British designs. Most notably, the pale blue chiffon dress she wore on to visit Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur's Assyakirin Mosque in 2012, which sold out in store and online in a matter of minutes.
No doubt the ‘Kate effect’ will strike again today as fashion fans everywhere scramble to get this classic scarf. Sadly this Eden version is currently unavailable, but Beulah’s Fractured Blossom print can be bought in the form of dresses, blouses and even sweaters. So why not invest in something different for your own take on the Duchess' flawless Royal look?

Dress like a Duchess in Dune's espadrille wedges

So far on the Royal tour, the Duchess of Cambridge has impressed with her choice of footwear, and no one can deny that she absolutely loves a wedge.
Wedges are a safe and trust-worthy option for any Duchess with a day of meet-and-greets, cliff top walks and beach trips ahead of her. Dramatically reducing the risk of accidents, she is guaranteed not to get her heel caught in a grate, or buried in the sand, while rocking a pair of these.
For the couple’s trip to Ayers Rock earlier today, the Duchess opted for her trusty Dune sling-backs to avoid any mishaps on the uneven desert terrain. Previously worn in July of last year as she and William showed off Prince George for the first time, Kate clearly favours this classic style for important occasions.
No doubt the ‘Kate effect’ will strike again today as these shoes are, for once, still available to buy, so head to Dunes website now to avoid missing out!

Inject some red carpet glamour to your wardrobe

Wow. Sarah Harding looks amazing. It's official. This blue on her is just perfect. In fact we totally love this Balmain dress. And here's why...
The high neck, long sleeves, keyhole neck detail, slight shoulder pads and double slits - although when said all at once might sound too much, all make this dress a complete show stopper. And, in fact, our favourite from the Girls Aloud member for a long time.
It's red carpet dressing at its best. And, what's more, we also love the blue snake skin clutch bag, the Gina shoes and the Lola Rose and Joubi jewellery too. We love it all!
The dramatic silhouette that this dress gives Sarah is a refreshing move away from her usual sleeveless looks. And we love seeing her in a colour that isn't red, black or gold. Double thumbs up from us.
To emulate Sarah's amazing red carpet look, take a look at some of the dresses we've found below, or click on the right to buy this exact one, now in the sale!

Man up in a tailored suit like Madonna's

We can always rely on Madonna to mix it up.
The original queen of pop eschewed the usual red carpet fayre of floor length gowns, embellishment and sheer delights at last night's Grammys and instead opted for a very masculine trouser suit. Of course, it's not just any trouser suit. This wide legged, double breasted two-piece is straight from the Ralph Lauren SS14 runway. She's even got the white shirt and black tie, although that hat was definitely one of her own additions.
It makes a nice change to see a woman so sure of her atttractiveness and sexual allure that she feels no pressure to succumb to flashing as much flesh as possible. Mind you Madonna has done her fair share of that over the years... she's probably over all that now. Boring!
And in truth there's nothing sexier than a woman in some sharp tailoring. And of course, it's a useful ensemble to have in your fashion arsenal. Nothing says 'I mean business' better than a trouser suit.
Buying this look on the high street is thankfully an easy task. Topshop gives it some shimmer while Asos and Reiss keep it classic. Or how about a spotty style at Jaeger? Then wear with a simple tee and heels or go the whole hog in a shirt and tie too!

Kendall Jenner has really embraced New York and its style sentiments.
In town for Sunday's Met Gala, the 18-year-old has shed her summery West Coast ensemble for the East Coast uniform of all-black.

Heading out late, the reality star donned a pair of leather pants - that were so tight they appeared painted on - with a black jumper featuring the outfit's only colour, white.
Keeping with her colour theme, the catwalk star accessorised her look with one of the smaller versions of the iconic Celine Luggage bags and a pair of mid-calf heeled boots.
But it is not just Kendall's fashion that has changed since she landed on the East Coast, the model has reportedly also moved to get over her rough patch with pal Selena.

Rita Ora steps out in baggy basketball jersey and favourite boots... after wearing them with VERY low cut leather dress for dinner with boyfriend Calvin Harris

She may have tweeted excitably about returning home to London this week after attending the Met Gala in New York.
However Rita Ora was still channeling a US style when she was spotted leaving her home on Wednesday in a Brooklyn Nets' basketball jersey.
The 23-year-old waved to photographers while showing off her trim pins in the sporty number, which was teamed with a back-to-front baseball cap.

The R.I.P. singer - who kept her square sunglasses firmly on - didn't appear to be wearing anything underneath the black and white sleeveless top.
Stepping out in her trademark red lipstick, Rita looked to be high spirits despite having just flown into to the UK.
After being greeted by a hoard of snappers, she tweeted: 'Yep I'm home. Thank god I closed my blinds when I was getting changed! #Lurklife Oh London'.

Alex Reid spends quality time with his daughter Dolly... as he offers support to ex Katie Price

It seems that Alex Reid and Chantelle Houghton are making amends as the cage fighter is sharing a lot more photos from his time spent with their daughter Dolly.
On Wednesday, Alex shared a couple of selfies with his only child, tweeting with the snaps: ‘Me and my princess enjoying this fine weather. Best things in life are free!’
Reid, 38, and his daughter have been spending more time together in the last few weeks, though last year he claimed to not even know where Dolly lived.

In another photo, Alex enjoys a cuddle with his baby girl, writing: ‘I'm only little, but I love cuddling my daddy!’
Earlier in April, Alex was ecstatic that Dolly had called him Daddy for the first time, but there was a 3.5 month gap between and the last time he saw his daughter.
Last June, Alex took to Twitter to complain about not seeing his daughter, especially on her first birthday.
Playtime: The father and daughter enjoy some time in the garden

Amends: It seems the cage fighter and Dolly's mother Chantelle Houghton have come to a custody arrangement



‘One year ago the most special girl in my world filled me with joy, giving me the best title I have, Daddy! Sad I won't see her today!’ Alex wrote.
While things seem to be going well for Reid in his family life, the same can’t be said for his ex Katie Price.
The former glamour model announced on Twitter that she would be divorcing her third husband Kieran Hayler, because she claims he had a seven-month affair with her best friend.
Though Alex and Katie don’t have any children together, he has said he would be there to support his ex-wife.
'I am really sad for Katie,' he told MailOnline. 'This is a terrible thing to happen and I am here for her if she needs me. I want to let bygones be bygones despite what has happened between us.'

Dress like a Royal in classic Stella McCartney

Another day on the Royal tour, and it’s another stylishly recycled number for the Duchess of Cambridge. There isn’t a fashionista in the world who can recondition dresses quite like Kate, but then if we had her wardrobe, we’d want to wear everything in it more than once too!
Today it was the turn of her cobalt blue Ridley dress by Stella McCartney. Worn in 2012 for the Olympic Games tennis tournament at Wimbledon, and then again for a visit to the Nation Portrait Gallery later that same year, this classic style is the perfect royal day dress.
Accented with a pair of navy heels and her signature coiffed locks, the Duchess disembarked the plane in Canberra with the usual finesse, despite carrying a wriggling, cute-as-a-button Prince George.

Much to the disappointment of fashion fans everywhere, and as with most of the Duchess' looks, this dress is no longer available to buy. But we've rounded up our favourite alternatives to help you channel the royal vibe for a whole lot less. Check out Missguided's shift dress (below) for a simple approach to the look.

A picture of 13-year-old Willow Smith lying in bed with a 20-year-old has sparked controversy after it was posted online.
In the black and white Instagram snap, the daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith is seen with actor Moises Arias.

She is casually dressed in jeans and a top, and looks past the camera.
While the pair's behaviour is innocent, the picture sparked a backlash from fans who said the setting was too mature for the young teen.
Arias allegedly posted the Instagram himself before deleting it - but not before his fans reposted it.

Katy Perry dresses as a cat and an Egyptian as she kicks off Prismatic World Tour in Belfast

While Miley Cyrus was proving she’s just as provocative as ever in London, Katy Perry took to the stage in Belfast in far more bubble-gum fashion.
The singer launched her Prismatic World Tour at the Northern Irish capital’s Odyssey Arena, Wednesday night, where she showcased an array of colourful costumes as she performed her greatest hits.
And clearly there was an Egyptian theme as she changed from a Cleopatra-like empress on horseback, to a pink feline in a jumpsuit.
