Time for a new hair style, Kate? Critics say it's too long and lank, and look what the wind did yesterday! So what should she do...

There comes a moment in every woman’s life when she has to consider a drastic change of hairstyle.
With a baby to care for and less time to spend on her trademark chestnut-brown locks, could that moment now have come for the Duchess of Cambridge?
Certainly Britain’s most famous tresses were not looking their best yesterday when Kate, sporting a £225 LK Bennett dress and jewels worth nearly £11,000, visited a West London school in her role as patron of The Art Room charity.

Her usually glorious mane was less thick than is customary, perhaps a clue that, like many new mothers, she is shedding some of the hair she gained thanks to her pregnancy hormones.

Host of bare-chested hunks gathers to celebrate 20 years of the iconic adverts

It's hard to believe 20 years have passed since the Diet Coke man first graced our TV screens.
It was back in 1994 that the first 'hunk' ad appeared, which flipped traditional gender roles to depict women objectifying handsome men, rather than the other way round.
And it proved a runaway success: The 'Diet Coke break' has now entered common parlance.

Gaby Roslin: 'Why I'm proud of my wrinkles' 49-year-old says the more you mess with your face, the more it catches up with you

When you’re a woman approaching 50 in showbiz, how do you avoid going down the Botoxed-to-the-hilt route? Gaby Roslin has a convincing – if chilling - answer.
‘Losing three friends to cancer in 18 months kind of helps you get a bit of perspective on these things,’ says the TV presenter. Especially, she adds, when one of those friends made her feelings about Botox known just before she died.
‘My big revelatory moment came just over three years ago when I was in Selfridges with Rachel, one of my dearest friends,’ she says.
‘We used to go shopping when she’d had a bout of chemo and on this day we were having a laugh trying on the wigs. This woman walked past – one of those ones, you know, face set as if she’d been caught in a wind-tunnel – and Rachel got really angry. 
Even without Botox, Gaby Roslin doesn't look remotely 49. She is something of a rarity in TV Land though

‘She said, “I’ve got poison in my head, killing me. I’m never going to get wrinkles because I’m not going to live long enough. Yet she’s injecting poison into her head just to keep herself looking young.” I’d never thought of it like that, but she ended her rant by saying, “Don’t ever do it, Gaby.” So I won’t. I’m not convinced it works anyway. After a certain point, you just look odd.’

Jackie O was looking a lot more tanned than usual in a photo posted on Twitter this week.

The KIIS 106.5 breakfast presenter was forced to endure layer upon layer of fake tan being sprayed on her face if she answered a series of trivia questions incorrectly.
That's a bit much! KIIS FM breakfast show host Jackie O endured several layers of spray tan on her face as part of a comedy skit on The Kyle & Jackie O Show

However the game wasn't exactly played fair, since the questions Kyle quizzed her on were rather obscure.

Singer Madonna posts racy image with lingerie showing as she hints there may be an announcement on the way

Madonna sure likes to raise eyebrows.
On Wednesday the Justify My Love singer posted a photo of herself showing off her thigh-high stockings while on the floor of her bathroom. What was even more curious than the 55-year-old's sexy photo was the caption she gave it: 'She's done for the day! Bath or Shower? #MDNASKIN.'
A clue to the meaning of this message can be found on the website for #MDNASKIN which hinted all will be explained on February 12 in Japan. This sounds like it could be the unveiling of a new skin care line. The Grammy winner already has a perfume collection.

Rock Rihanna for River Island Ă  la Ola

We aren't used to seeing professional dancer Ola Jordan off the Strictly dancefloor and without her customary sequins, but here she proves she is just as show stopping on a dress-down day. We love that she has opted for chic black and white, matching those covetable Chanel shopping bags she is clutching to her print scarf which is by Rihanna for River Island.

Ola is the latest of a whole host of celebrities to rock Rihanna's River Island designs - only yesterday we spotted Perrie Edwards top-to-toe clad in new season RiRi, adding herself to the list of Cara Delevingne, Rita Ora, The Saturdays, Helen Flanagan, and of course, Rihanna herself.

We love the so-called Occult print, which was available in a dress, leggings and this scarf that Ola is sporting. The zebra-style print hits the monochrome trend head-on and it is the perfect statement piece to add to any outfit.

Since everything Rihanna touches turns to gold, getting hold of one of these scarves is now like gold dust, and although Ola's scarf was taken from the Autumn collection, it is unfortunately now sold out. But to get your fix, the Winter collection hits stores later in November and you can pre-order pieces by clicking the link (right). And if you can't wait that long, look to the five fantastic alternatives we have found for you instead (below).

Slogans may have been everywhere this year, but here Kate Beckinsale shows us that the off-duty staple is still a hot commodity in her 'Army Of Lovers' design by Zoe Karssen. The cool brand have gained quite the celebrity cult following with everyone from Kristen Stewart to Alexa Chung to Mila Kunis favoring their laid-back luxe pieces.
