'The whole thing so far has felt very natural, very right; it has all kind of fallen into place and it has just been lovely.'

Myleene Klass showcases her washboard abs and killer curves as she hits the pool in a skimpy two-piece

She rejuvenated her career thanks to her now famous stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2006.
And after winning over a legion of fans thanks to her penchant for taking a jungle shower in a skimpy white bikini, Myleene Klass decided to return to the swimwear that propelled her to stardom as she enjoyed a sun-soaked holiday earlier this month.
Slipping into a tiny string two-piece, the 36-year-old TV presenter looked incredible as she showcased her washboard abs and killer hourglass curves while enjoying a refreshing dip in the pool.

If it ain't broke! After winning over a legion of fans thanks to her penchant for taking a jungle shower in a skimpy white bikini, Myleene Klass decided to return to the swimwear that propelled her to stardom as she enjoyed a sun-soaked holiday earlier this month

The delicate crochet halterneck number perfectly emphasised the former pop star's gym-honed figure, and proved to be the ideal offset to her impressive tan.
Displaying her naturally striking features by going make-up free for the occasion, the mother-of-two wore her raven locks slicked back from her face and hanging in loose damp tendrils down her back.
Myleene completed her stunning poolside ensemble with a pair of retro-inspired tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses to shelter her eyes as she reclined gracefully on a lounger.

The royal re-modelling of Miss Middleton

It was the outfit that she wore for one of her first public engagements, a chic scarlet suit which perfectly complemented her dark hair.
When the Duchess of Cambridge picked out the familiar jacket and simple skirt for her New Zealand tour, her transformation from girl next door to duchess was made clear.
Now one of the most famous women in the world, the wife of the second-in-line to the British throne and mother of a future king, the last three years have been a time of huge change for the former Kate Middleton.
And though her £495 Luisa Spagnoli suit is the same, there have been a few subtle refinements.

These two photos of the Duchess show her subtle style evolution: on the left is 32-year-old Kate on her eighth day in New Zealand as part of the official Royal tour, and on the right, we see a 29-year-old Kate making a nostalgic trip back to St Andrews University in 2011 for only her second public engagement with William

As the three-year wedding anniversary of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge approaches, Kate  has evolved into a very modern princess.
Take the two photos of the Duchess: above on the left is 32-year-old Kate on her eighth day in New Zealand as part of the official Royal tour.

On the right, we see a 29-year-old Kate making a nostalgic trip back to St Andrews University in 2011 for only her second public engagement with William.
In both pictures, she wears a scarlet Luisa Spagnoli skirt suit.
However, today Kate appears a seasoned public figure in the chic mould of Jackie Kennedy, rather than the girlish student that William first introduced the world to.

Stately: Kate appears more majestic than three years ago, as she waves to the crowds on arrival in Christchurch, New Zealand

She has done away with the chunky black suede knee high boots she wore regularly three years ago, instead opting for delicate and understated black heels.
The warmer weather in Christchurch also means she's ditched the black turtleneck, gloves and tights, giving way to a sleeker, more polished appearance - a look fit for a future queen.
But it is not just the lack of black that makes Kate look different.

'Kate's graduated from princess finishing school - no more student chic, she's a "royal" - its official!' - Jade Elliott, celebrity stylist
 

Look closely and you'll notice a total transformation.Take those elegant pearl drop earrings for a start and her glossy, long brunette locks - worn in a half-up and half-down style - which now appears lighter and more coiffed.
Lee Radley, celebrity stylist at Nicky Clarke Mayfair, said: 'Kate's hair has gone from dark brown to a much softer tone of chocolate brown with a slight hint of caramel lights.
'She has also added gentle long layers to give her long thick mane some movement and body, giving her a more playful yet sophisticated hairstyle.
'It's less high-maintenance than darker locks as she may also be seeing a few grey hairs appear.
'It doesn't look so sharp against her features and takes the focus from her face and let her clothes do the talking.'

Flashback: William and Kate are seen here making a nostalgic trip back to St Andrews University in 2011. It was only Kate's second public engagement together with William and she chose the red suit for the special occasion

Her porcelain skin looks more bronzed and her face appears slimmer, her youthful apple cheeks less apparent.  
Shehla Shaikh, Lancome Head of Elite Team, said of the look: 'The Duchess of Cambridge’s look is classic and elegant with a day time smoky eye, which compliments her bright wardrobe during the New Zealand tour.
'Starting with fresh matte skin, the eyes are smudged softly with a charcoal eye shadow to add softness.
'Then the top and bottom lash line are defined with a liquid liner and several coats of black mascara to accentuate her eyes.
'Freshness is added with a rose pink blush on the apple of the cheeks and matching lips to balance the whole look.'
Kate reportedly chose to wear the red suit for her visit to the city, which was ravaged by an earthquake in 2011, because her visit to St Andrew's - when she first wore the outfit - took place on February 25 2011, just three days after the quake hit.
The red skirt suit and black belt also make up the official colours of Canterbury, the region in which Christchurch, New Zealand's second biggest city, is situated.
Celebrity stylist Jade Elliott said: 'With this suit they've recycled the jacket but have sneakily added a good three inches to the skirt to give the whole look a more sophisticated edge.
'Her accessories have all been kept to a minimum. Her whole look is more elegant. We stylists always bang on about getting the right shoes but ditching those knee length boots is the greatest transformation of all.
'Kate's graduated from princess finishing school - no more student chic, she's a "royal" - its official!'

Picture perfect: The 32-year-old looked flawless on the eighth day of the Royal tour in New Zealand

The Royal couple, who flew in from Queenstown, began their visit with a formal welcome from the Ngai Tahu Maoris at the City Council Building.

Later they attended an event at Latimer Square, visiting a memorial park and joining young children for a World Cup Cricket event.
They also meet some of the families of those who died in the 2011 tragedy.

Copy Kym in chain boots by Carvela

She's a soap queen onscreen, but away from the cobbles of Coronation Street, Kym Marsh is the reigning champion of the little black dress.
Her favourite bodycon LBD plus some vertiginous platforms is very much her signature ensemble. A sartorial dead cert, you might say. So it was no surprise to see Ms. Marsh making a stylish entrance on a night out in Manchester yesterday.
We love the embellished sleeves of her off the shoulder dress, but ever the footwear fanatics, it's her Carvela chain trim boots we're currently coveting. Unsurprisingly, they have sold out pretty much everywhere, but we have managed to track down some last remaining sizes at House of Fraser. They're even now in the sale, so click (right) to get your hands on a pair ASAP.
But don't worry if you miss out, because there are lots of similar styles kicking around on the high street. These Boohoo bargains are almost identical - just team yours with (you guessed it!) a little black dress to keep it classic

Kym Marsh wears classically styled LBD as she steps out on towering heels for night with older sister Tracey

She’s reportedly been offered a generous new contract that will see her remain on the Coronation Street cobbles for another 12-month period.
Stepping out on Saturday evening, actress Kym Marsh looked every inch the soap queen as she made an entrance at a Manchester barbecue restaurant in a classically styled little black dress.
The 37-year-old turned heads as she teetered inside on a pair of towering peep-toe heels for a night out with older sister Tracey in the city – and she was clearly in the mood to impress.

Clasically styled: Kym Marsh opted for little black dress and towering peep-toe heels for her night out at a barbecue restaurant in Manchester with older sister Tracey

Posing for photos before sashaying through the entrance, Kym – a mother of three – showed off a nicely toned frame courtesy of her black, off-the-shoulder ensemble.
The dress was all the more distinctive by virtue of the studded embellishments across both arms, and she obligingly showed them off before turning on her high heel – revealing a generous portion of exposed back in the process.
Former Hear’Say singer Kym opted to pile her raven hair in a stylish ‘updo,’ while mascara, eye-shadow and blusher had been generously applied above a comparatively subtle pink shade of lipstick.

Her Twitter account has been peppered with shrill updates as she prepared in earnest for the 2014 London Marathon, a gruelling 26-mile slog that takes participants from Blackheath to The Mall.
Limbering up ahead of the event, Bristol based model Amy Willerton – whose rigorous training regime has seen her pound the pavement during business trips to Southern California – was in high spirits as she mingled with fellow runners.

Stepping out on Saturday, the 38-year-old was accompanied by sons Cruz and Romeo as he once again made his daily pilgrimage to the fitness studio in LA suburb Brentwood, not far from the sprawling Beckham pile in nearby Beverly Hills.

Rock out like Rita in Roberto Cavalli

Everyone who's anyone seems to be heading to the Coachella Valley Festival in California this weekend. And whilst we are of course, crazy jealous, it's also getting us uber excited for summer back home. It's never too early to start thinking about festival style...
Rita Ora seemed to have got the same memo as Selena Gomez, as they both rocked up wearing oh so boho sheer maxi dresses. But whilst Selena stuck to Free People, Rita really called in the big guns in this Fall 2014 dress by Roberto Cavalli.
This is the second time in as many weeks that Rita has worn a dress by the Italian fashion god, and it's not hard to see why. There's always so much to look at! This one is particularly intricate and we love the sheer lace panels and embellished details.
Back in Blighty, we'd be a little bit concerned about wearing a dress hot off the runway to stomp around in the mud. But you can still channel Cavalli in one of the high street options we have found just for you. Simply team it with a floppy fedora, huge shades and battered ankle boots. Next stop, Glastonbury!
