Pregnant Rachel Bilson displays her baby bump in strapless black bikini

It was revealed just a few days ago that Rachel Bilson is expecting her first child and she is already displaying a baby bump.
The 32-year-old actress and longterm boyfriend Hayden Christensen are currently enjoying a romantic vacation together in Barbados and Rachel wasn't shy about showing off her rounded tummy as she splashed about in the ocean.
Wearing a strapless black two-piece, Rachel looked happy and relaxed as she and Hayden, 33, soaked up the sunshine and made the most of their time together before their family expands.

The Hart Of Dixie actress left her long dark hair loose around her shoulders while she cuddled up to Hayden in the water.
Dad-to-be Hayden wore a pair of blue shorts and only had eyes for his glowing girlfriend.
The pair are said to be 'so excited' as they prepare to become parents for the first time.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: 'They've both talked about this for awhile and are so excited. Everyone is beyond thrilled for them.'
Friends are delighted for the couple and think they will be 'wonderful' parents.
One pal said: 'They will make wonderful, hands-on parents.'
It is not yet known when the baby is due.

The actress admitted last year she was keen to start a family with the Star Wars actor.
She said: 'I definitely have family on the brain. Having kids is something I want to see in my future - I hope.'
And more recently she told Health magazine that she wanted to start a family 'within the next few years'

'I've always wanted to be a mom. I have always wanted kids. I can just see this little toddler waddling around the house,' Bilson said.
But the 5ft2in stunner is worried people will assume she's a teenage mother due to her diminutive figure.
She explained: 'Everybody's going to be like, "Awww, poor teen mom. Poor girl." And Teen Mom is my favorite show...I know, pathetic. But it's true.'
First time parents: This will be the first baby for both Rachel and Hayden who have been together on and off since 2007

Rachel called her former fiancé and on/off beau Hayden 'incredibly supportive and considerate.'
'I've been in my relationship for seven years,' Bilson said.
'So we've grown up together in a way. This is my partner, my support, just there for me no matter what. And vice versa.'
Rachel and Hayden met in 2007 on the set of Jumper and got engaged a year later. However, they called off their engagement in August 2010 but reconciled three months later.

Helen Flanagan shines in emerald green bikini as she flaunts her enviable figure on beach in Dubai

She's not afraid to show off her incredible curves and Helen Flanagan certainly didn't shy away from strutting her stuff when she took a trip to Dubai.
The 23-year-old former Coronation Street actress struck a variety of poses and looked incredible in a skimpy lime green bikini as she frolicked on the sand.
Her choice of outfit gave a glimpse of her intimate 'Scott' inking which Helen had tattooed on her inner thigh as a tribute to her footballer boyfriend back in 2010.

The design consists of his name which is centred within a winged heart, placed right near her groin.
Helen's swimsuit had a cute strawberry charm hanging from the bustline and a ruched detail on the tiny briefs.
The pretty model had a smile on her face as she paddled in the sea and topped up her tan - no doubt making the most of her time off from work.

'Arsene Wenger could buy anyone except Messi, Bale & Ronaldo' Lord Harris

Arsenal director Lord Harris claims the manager will be given money to spend in the upcoming transfer window, with the club keen to challenge both at home and in Europe

Arsene Wenger - Arsenal Arsenal director Lord Harris of Peckham claims Arsene Wenger will be given the full support of the club's board as he seeks to strengthen his squad this summer.

Wenger is keen to sign two players ahead of the World Cup, with Juanfran and Serge Aurier both identified as possible replacements for Manchester City-bound Bacary Sagna.






And Lord Harris insists the club will give Wenger the cash needed to challenge both domestically and in Europe, as Arsenal "don't want to be second."

"We want to win the Premier League and the Champions League," he is quoted as saying by The Times. "If we buy two or three players then I think we can.

"We want to win. We don't want to be second, we don't want to be third and we don't want to be fourth. We will support Arsene with the players he wants to buy. He has always been encouraged to spend."

Wenger broke the club's transfer record to sign Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid for €50 million last summer and Lord Harris believes "it would be easy" to top that this summer – as Arsenal can "buy most players" currently on the market.

"We would. It would be easy," he added. "I wouldn't say it [the total transfer budget] is £100 million, I wouldn't say it's £50m and I wouldn't say it's £150m.

"If Arsene has asked for any player then we have always backed him to go and buy. With the exception of [Lionel] Messi, [Cristiano] Ronaldo or [Gareth] Bale, we could buy most players."

Top off your look with sleek barely-there sandals


As much as we LOVE a bright pop of colour and a kaleidoscopic print, sometimes you really can't beat timeless black. Vanessa Hudgens is known for her boho-esque, laid back LA style but here the actress is channelling quite the sophisticated look in this head-to-toe black ensemble.

She's expertly teamed her high neck maxi dress with an outfit-finishing wide-brim hat, but it's those envy-evoking Saint Laurent sandals that we're really obsessing over. With a cigarette heel and thin ankle strap, these heels are simple yet striking, especially against Vanessa's golden anklet!

Add a season-less pair to your capsule closet by clicking right to Net A Porter and you'll be joining the likes of Angelina Jolie and Sofa Vergara who already own them in several colours.

Or, see our pick of similar looks for less below which will allow you to put your best foot forward all summer long- they'll literally go with everything you own from tailored pants to floaty floral dresses!

Steal Lily Allen's style in a cute long sleeve mini dress


Lily Allen is such a jet setter. One minute she's in New York at the Met Gala, the next she's in Cannes hanging out with Cara Delevingne and performing on a yacht and 24 hours later she's back in London attending the Ivor Novello Awards.
And for the occasion she left her street style at home opting for a lady like look in a shimmering and irridescent fabric.This cute shift style in a mini length is very 1960s while the pastel tone is spot on for SS14. And check out the sweet embroidered trim on the cuffs and at the neck.
Lily styled her dress with some enormous platform heels by Christian Louboutin and a cream clutch but her best accessory is that flash of hot pink lipstick. We love! If you're in need of a pretty dress for a wedding or smart lunch date then why not take inspiration from our Lily?
We've found some cute minis in pink and lilac with sequins and floral embellishment at Asos and Topshop. Then style with some pastel high heels and a chic up do to complete the look. And don't forget that pop of neon lipstick!

Be bold this summer in Gemma's colour-popping kaftan


A simple kaftan is a holiday wardrobe must-have that will flatter your figure, no matter what your size, and we’re loving this simple printed version from Gemma Collin’s most recent collection.
Frustrated with the lack of plus sized fashion available on the high street, Gemma took things into her own hands and decided to create an eponymous label.

Say it with studs: toughen up your look with a fierce jacket


One of the many advantages of having a sister is that it's practically a law that you're able to borrow/ steal their clothes. While you may risk the wrath of your sibling for sneaking out a Topshop number, Kendall Jenner has hit the jackpot and bagged herself Kylie's seriously luxe leather Givenchy jacket.

Leather biker jackets are up there with striped T-shirts and skinny black jeans when it comes to serving up a cool off-duty look that never dates, they just have the potential to be reinvented with the help of a few minor sartorial twerks. Like the gold accents on this vintage Givenchy piece.

There isn't one season when the trusty leather topper doesn't look big. A studded biker will bring out the edgy side in all of us and it's the one piece in our wardrobes that gets the most mileage so it's worth investing in a good quality piece like this Each X Other style at MyTheresa. But don't worry, you can get the look on a normal persons budget too with these Mango and Boohoo numbers.

Smarten up, Kim style, with a black leather shirt


She keeps throwing us off the scent. What designer will Kim Kardashian wear for her wedding in a matter of days? We don't think even she knows any more. Balmain is the obvious front runner (the dress she wore for the cover of Vogue was by the French fashion house), and here she is making us believe that it's true. Her black leather shirt is by Balmain too.
She has been seen all around the world with Olivier Rousteing - creative head at Balmain, taking selfies all over the place, and she has stepped out in multiple head-to-toe looks from one of his newest collections in the past couple of weeks. Is this a hint?
Although ordinarily we would definitely shy away from a full leather look on the approach to summer, Kim rocks this shirt and skirt, and it's actually not that hot in Paris so this outfit is weather appropriate for now.
And we have to say... she looks pretty fierce here, and once again shows off those famous Kurves to absolute perfection. The gold Tom Ford heels match the gold buttons too. Nice styling there Kim!
You can't buy this shirt at the moment, but the one on the right is similar and ready to be bought (although the price tag might put you off!). Have a look at some options we've found below.

Channel statuesque glamour like Rosie in a yellow gown


There are barely any words left in the dictionary to describe Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's unbelievable style. We are, once again, left open-mouthed and stumped for words at her gorgeous Emilio Pucci yellow gown here.
The supermodel can literally do no wrong. We don't think there has been one Rosie red carpet moment that we haven't liked. What's more, any colour suits this blonde bombshell. She has worn black, red, green, purple and now this mustard colour. Lucky girl!
This dress is from Pucci's autumn/winter 2014 collection. It features an symmetric neckline and very subtle cut outs to the waist, not like Sharon Stone's dress at all! The back chain detail is simply stunning too. We love Rosie in a gown that makes her look statuesque, and she's practically an Oscar in this!
The iconic Italian fashion house of Pucci was loved by icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy, and now Rosie, a modern day fashionista. The signature prints and floaty silhouettes have made this label one of the most easily recognisable.

Glam up in a cut-out dress like Sharon Stone


At 56-years-old you really are allowed to do what you want on the red carpet. And here for the amfAR Gala in Cannes Sharon Stone proves this point in this daring red Roberto Cavalli gown.
Let's start by saying that we LOVE her hair, make-up and earrings, facially she looks stunning. And the top half of the dress, including the low-cut cleavage and long sleeves, is very glamorous. But then we get to the middle bit. That cut out waist. And things start to go wrong for us.
This is the thing... Sharon has an amazing body, we aren't denying that one bit, but we do firmly believe that not even someone like Nicole Scherzinger could make this Cavalli gown look chic. The cut outs just cheapen it we think. And, what's more, they are dangerously low.
Then the long, flowy skirt and fabulous strappy heels we love.
If you wanted to emulate Sharon in a cut out gown, take a look at some options below...

Add some fringing to your look with Khloe's Valentino bag

Between all the Kardashian children, they surely own one of every single 'It' bags ever made. Birkins, McQueens, Celines and here Khloe Kardashian carries her brand new fringed Valentino clutch, which we predict will be the new 'It' accessory.
Khloe proves just what an amazing fashionista she is here. She puts into practice the long-standing style trick of adding a colour pop accessory to an all-black look. And even though this clutch isn't a neon bright, the green definitely stands out.
Fringing has never really gone out of fashion, and here the luxury Italian fashion house Valentino offer up the trend in an easy, manageable way, instead of going full pelt and wearing a fully fringed gown.
This is actually the Cancer clutch - the gold-look side detail is a little crab to represent the star sign, but it does come in literally every colour under the sun. And it seems Khloe is loving this design as we've spotted her with a few variations (it's all right for some, isn't it?)
This bag is available to buy right now - just click on the right - or take a look at some other clutches we've found below...

Show off your pins in black multi-strap sandals like Kylie


Cannes may be the centre of fashion events and parties, but over in Paris the Kardashian/Jenner clan are out in full force and giving the fashion pack a run for their money.
Whilst Kim stepped out in a Blamain embroidered dress, Khloe in Louboutin heels and Kourtney in Saint Laurent sandals, it was Kylie who stole the shoe in her own typical style, mixing grunge and glamour for a super fresh and urban chic look.
Pairing a black playsuit with her black and green ombre locks, Kylie donned a pair of multi-strap sandals and showing off her long legs and neutral pedicure.
We especially love this style of shoe under boyfriend jeans as the contrast between feminine sandals and masculine chic is very sexy and huge for this season. Check out our inspiration gallery below for our best muti-strap black sandals out there - our favourite are the Rosie Strappy Sandals from Topshop for just £45.

Stand out in an embellished mini dress like Kim


Oh come on Kim, this is getting way to obvious now. A second Balmain look in one day. You're definitely either trying to tell us you WILL be wearing the label for your wedding, or you're just being clever and throwing us off course.
Either way, this dress is possibly the best Balmain creation Kim has worn yet. It's simply stunning. Where as the dresses she has previously been seen in by the French fashion house that also feature high necks and long sleeves, this one doesn't swamp her at all.
It's designed to show off the curves of whoever is lucky enough to wear it, and Kim is the perfect person to demonstrate this. The subtle mint green and embroidered floral design in the centre only add to it's amazingness.
This dress, from Balmain's autumn/winter 2012 collection, must weigh an absolute ton. It's heavily beaded and embellished. It must be like doing a workout whilst still looking super chic.
This dress is testament to Balmain, and head creative, and good friend of Kim's, Olivier Rousteing's extraordinary design talent!
