Step into the new season with Zoe's vibrant Prada dress
As the gorgeous Zoe Saldana made her first
appearance on the cover of Marie Claire, it only served to cement the
fashion industry’s love for her, and ours for that matter. No stranger
to a spot of dressing up, the gorgeous actress posed up a storm in an
array of beautiful dresses, not to mention that super cute double denim
look on the front cover.
This vibrant Prada dress however, is our favourite look from the shoot. Featuring a plunging neckline and cinched waist, it's the perfect style for summer. Sadly, it won't be available for a few months and will be mightily budget-busting anyway, so check out our high street picks for your own tribute to the look.
With the likes of LK Bennett, Topshop and Issa all going in for vibrant prints this season, now is the ideal time to pick up a show-stopping dress to stay ahead of the style set. We'll be wearing ours with a pair of towering stilettos and neutral make up to keep the focus on the print.

Update your look with a pastel bright dress from New Look
Georgia Kousoulou was one of many TOWIE ladies to get dressed up to the nines yesterday for a spot of filming at Faces nightclub in Ilford.
You've got to hand it to them. The Essex girls really know how to glam it up even in the middle of the day. Jasmin Walia did bodycon by House of CB (formerly Celeb Boutique) while Lauren Pope rocked a futuristic look in an irridescent skirt from Topshop and Lydia Bright went for a revealing fuchsia frock by V Label London.
Georgia on the other hand chose a very SS14 pastel shade of green for her Sunday clubbing outfit, wearing this lovely mint jacquard lace dress from New Look. Georgia clearly knows her stuff because muted shades of green, blue, pink, yellow and lilac were the key palette at Burberry Prorsum for this season.
This minty dress has sold out online but you can still get hold of this great pencil dress with square neckline in blue and pink (right). But if you want to stick to a spring-like green then take a look at our edit of similar dresses below. Oasis and Dorothy Perkins have some lovely lacy looks that will do the trick nicely.
Give your look some tough luxe with studded sandals
Naomi Campbell looked the epitome of Ibiza glam as she was spotted on holiday!
The model, who has posed for every top dog in the industry from Dolce & Gabbana to Versace, ditched her usual high octane look for a more boho vibe, with denim shorts, an embroidered cotton top and studded sandals.
And while Naomi might usually favour shoes from high end designers, we're pleased to see Naomi's embraced the Great British high street with her studded sandals from Ash, which are now on sale!
Studded sandals are a great way to up the ante of your summer look, and will be perfect to team with everything from skinny jeans to floaty dresses.
Click to the right to snap up Naomi's sandals for yourself, or check out our edit below, with studded sandals available at New Look, Office, Schuh and Kurt Geiger.
Tell me about it, stud!
Stay sophisticated this summer in a colour block dress by Hybrid
So Carol Vorderman is leaving Loose Women. It's sad news for the daytime show but we're sure she'll be popping up elsewhere on our television screens soon.
And wherever she is we can be sure that Carol will be keeping her end up when it comes to dressing as an older woman. She has never let age define her look and with a super hot body like hers why shouldn't she show it off?
Carol is particularly fond of a form fitting pencil dress. They fall on the knee so are demure and age appropriate but with low cut necklines and cinched in waists, they're the epitome of va va voom styling. This smart little number is by British label Hybrid and while the blue and black version Carol is wearing has sold out you can still get hold of the lovely ivory and navy dress (right).
If you're looking for a great dress for work, or in fact for a wedding, this summer then a pencil cut is a good way to get noticed without showing too much skin. They create curves where there are none and help to flatten out lumps and bumps too. Genius!
If you want to get a bargain buy then try Club L at Asos and Vesper at Lipsy and then style with a pair of chic high heel courts to show them you really mean business.
Give your evening look a lift in Lydia's V Label dress
The TOWIE girls were out in force over the
weekend. First there was the plethora of pretty day dresses at the polo,
followed by a swift change for a boozy night out in their native Essex,
and now it’s off to Faces for another day of filming. What a tough
life.
As always, there was a whole host of gorgeous
evening dresses to lust after too. From Jessica’s pretty lace number by
Famous Frocks, to Jasmin’s figure-hugging House of CB bodycon and
Lauren’s iridescent Topshop pencil skirt, we didn’t know where to look
first. But it’s Lydia’s colour-popping magenta dress, by V Label London,
that really got heads turning. Styled with a lilac clutch by Vintage Styler, and featuring a quirky asymmetric hemline and flattering long sleeves, this show-stopping design is the perfect way to stand out in the evening. Whether you make like Lydia and opt for nude stilettos or go the whole hog with equally bright accents, it's sure to look effortlessly glam.
So, if you're keen to steal this TOWIE girl's Essex look, click through to V Label's website and pick up the exact dress. Or shop our favourite alternatives to find your own take on the look. Asos' short crepe dress (below) is our fave!
Look breathhaking in #JLo's beautiful animal print maxi
She was out on a heartbreak shopping trip, but Jennifer Lopez sure got our hearts racing in her stunning animal print asymmetric dress for the occasion. She needn’t buy anything else!
The newly single songstress looked utterly divine in the Camilla Savanna one-piece, which features intricate beading on the neckline and retails at £425.76. Love don’t cost a thing, but fashion certainly does.
Styled perfectly with nude wedges, JLo hit the style mark with ease, simply adding some celeb-style aviators and big gold hoops for a nod to her Latino heritage. Jenny from the block did good!
You can buy Jennifer’s gorgeous maxi now from Intermix, or you can take a gander at the more affordable options below if you’re on a budget.
We were particularly drawn to Topshop’s £34 cut out animal print maxi which shows off a bit of midriff, whilst we’d style Dorothy Perkins’ £22 navy leopard print number with a boho headband and brown gladiator sandals to take the look to the max-i.
Top off your look with a dose of cool in Fearne's kimono
She pulled out all the stops in her
scene-stealing sequin Pucci wedding dress, but Fearne Cotton was back to
her pared-back signature style as she made her way into the BBC studios
this morning.
We've long been fans of Fearne's effortlessly cool style, she favours simple pieces like skinny jeans teamed with outfit-making pieces like this kimono here. Featuring an all-over floral print with harlequin-style check trims, the kimono is a quirky piece that instantly lifts Fearne's look.
It will come as no surprise to fans of Fearne's that her kimono is from her line at Very, she's one of the few celebrities who actually wears the clothes she designs! If you want to top off you summer style with an easy-to-wear kimono then why not click right to get this vibrant design or shop the look for less below?

Fred retires from international football after Brazil's dismal World Cup showing
Fred has retired from international football at the age of 30 after Brazil's disappointing World Cup campaign came to an end. He scored 18 goals in 39 games.
Luis Suarez, David Luiz, Casilas and Diego Costa all feature in Sportsmail's worst World Cup XI
The
World Cup is over and, for the fourth time in history, Germany came out
victorious after a 1-0 triumph over Argentina in the final..
There
were some simply sublime displays in Brazil, with the likes of Javier
Mascherano, James Rodriguez and Manuel Neuer all putting in a series of
utterly imperious displays.
But
in much the same way as for every reaction, there is an equal and
opposite reaction - in football for every brilliant player there is an
equally terrible one.
So who were the worst XI in Brazil? Here, Sportsmail runs the rule over eleven men who failed ever so badly in Brazil.
WORLD CUP WORST XI (3-4-3)
IKER CASILLAS (Spain) – Had a blooper reel all of his own. The mis-control that gifted Robin van Persie a goal in the 5-1 defeat to Holland was the pick of the bunch.
IKER CASILLAS (Spain) – Had a blooper reel all of his own. The mis-control that gifted Robin van Persie a goal in the 5-1 defeat to Holland was the pick of the bunch.
Nightmare: Iker Casilass endured a nightmare couple of games as Spain lost to Holland and Chile
PEPE (Portugal)
– His tournament ended when he was sent off against Germany for
stupidly thrusting his head into Thomas Mueller’s, leaving Portugal with
10 men for nearly an hour. They lost 4-0.
Moment of madness: Pepe's headbutt on Thomas Muller in the Group G opener cost Portugal dearly
GERARD PIQUE
(Spain) – The Barcelona defender suffered more than most in the
shocking 5-1 defeat to Holland. Endured a torrid time and was not seen
again.
Passed by: Gerard Pique was destroyed in Spain's opener, before not being seen again in Brazil
DAVID LUIZ (Brazil)
– Has a player’s stock ever fallen so rapidly? A contender for Team of
the Tournament, Luiz’s world caved in as Brazil conceded 10 goals
against Germany and Holland.
Tearful: David Luiz was woeful in Brazil's horrendous 7-1 defeat to Germany in the semi-final
ANTONIO VALENCIA
(Ecuador) – The Ecuador skipper had already been sent off against
England in a pre-tournament friendly when he saw red for a late
challenge in the final group game with France. No goals, no assists.
Head in hands: Antonio Valencia leaves the pitch after receiving a red card against France
PAULINHO
(Brazil) – The Tottenham man was utterly anonymous much of the time. At
least his Brazil teammate Fernandinho kept himself occupied by kicking
opponents.
Chasing shadows: Paulinho was one of many Brazilian players who was poor throughout the tournament
WILSON PALACIOS
(Honduras) – Set about France in the second group game like he wanted
to be sent off and got his wish, conceding a penalty in the process.
Why always me? Wilson Palacios was disappointing for Honduras in the group stage
EDEN HAZARD
(Belgium) – Contributed two assists but we expected so much more from
the Chelsea man. Did Jose Mourinho really say that he’s the best young
player in the world?
Underwhelming: Eden Hazard was disappointing for Belgium in Brazil
LUIS SUAREZ
(Uruguay) – No sooner had Suarez knocked out England than he was up to
his old tricks, biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini. The striker was out of
the World Cup and Uruguay weren’t far behind.
Impact: Luis Suarez had a rather dramatic two games in Brazil against England and Italy
Don't blame David, it's not fair, says Mourinho - the man who sold Brazil's calamity defender to PSG for £50m
