KATIE Price puts her enhanced chest firmly in the spotlight on this week’s Lip Sync Battle as she performs a song all about BOOBS and dresses up as Dolly Parton.
A new teaser from this week’s episode shows the mum-of-five evening gowns in a leopard print top and tight trousers miming along to the Black Eyed Pea’s 2005 hit My Humps.

But it’s seeing her dolled up like Dolly in cult 80s movie 9-5 that is most exciting.
In new pictures from this week’s episode, Katie wears a bright blonde wig and accentuates her enhanced bosom with a tight fuschia trouser suit.
After making a cup of coffee, and delivering them to her ‘colleagues’, she parades around with a stack of papers.
The clip shows the mum-of-five gyrating in tight leather trousers – clearly delighted with the results of her recent string of non-surgical bum lifts.

In the past Katie has been responsible for a fair few pop misses.
A duet of A Whole New World with then husband Peter Andre in 2006 was a sales disaster when 40,000 returned copies were found rotting in a barn.

Her 2010 single Free To Love Again charted at number 60.
But it was the 2005 Eurovision attempt which she calls her “biggest regret.”
Speaking on ITV2’s Safeword last year, she said: “Out of anything I’ve done in my whole career, that is my biggest regret.”

She added that the fact she was heavily pregnant with Junior and wearing a tight pink catsuit to sing Not Just Anybody, didn’t help.
“I was seven months’ pregnant and I looked like a pink condom.”
On Wednesday, Feb. 1, CPHS seniors will walk the catwalk at the Twin Creeks Country Club. Attendees can shop Kendra Scott's new spring jewelry line and enjoy a fashion show put on by the seniors who will be modeling Z Couture formal dresses and tuxedos.
According to Caroline Domin, volunteer for Project Graduation, Kendra Scott, Twin Creeks Country Club and Z Couture have gone above and beyond to make sure the show is set up for success.
“Z Couture is actually owned by a Cedar Park graduate, Krisitn Zreet,” Domin said. “She told us ‘have 20-25 girls come in and I will fit them for a uk prom dresses for the night.’”
Domin said there are students from “all walks of life” modeling during the show.
“There are 25 girls, six or seven guys, all from different organizations,” Domin said. “Celebrities (dance team), cheer, softball, basketball, as many as we could find representing different organizations. They are different sizes, different colors and from different activities.”
They expect about 200 attendees.
Domin said she hopes the event raises $10,000. Although entry is free, there will be many opportunities for guests to purchase things. Besides Kendra Scott’s jewelry, students who are searching for a prom dress will have the opportunity to purchase their dress during the event. Z Couture prom dresses online are registered for CPHS and other high school proms.
Gift baskets will also be available for purchase. Project Graduation volunteers said the baskets will make great Valentine’s Day gifts.
“Our total fundraising goal for this year’s Project Grad is $50,000,” Domin said.
At this point they have $20,000 for the alcohol-free and drug-free senior class party.
There will be two style shows. One will take place at 6:15 p.m. and the second at 7:30 p.m.
Project Grad is run by parents of graduating seniors and funded 100 percent by donations and fundraising. The goal is for enough money to be raised so that every graduating senior can attend the party free of charge.
After the "I dos" and post-reception, the wedding night should climax in, well, just that! (Or immediately passing out after an exhausting day and too much champagne. Either or, really.) But for Ciara and her new hubs Russell Wilson, the wedding night was extra special. In July 2015, the now-married duo announced that they were abstaining from sex until they were officially wed — a decision that drew much public criticism, in part due to the fact that Ciara was already mom to two-year-old Future Zahir Wilburn, whom she shares with her ex-fiancé rapper Future.
But the pair certainly got down to business after their fairytale wedding in Cheshire, England — and even shared what went down in that hotel suite via Snapchat! But if newlyweds' choice for a sexless pre-"I do" relationship still has you going "BUT WHY?!," Ciara is finally opening up on what led to her and her hubby's decision.
The R&B songstress recently sat down with Cosmopolitan South Africa and got real with the glossy about her resolution to remain abstinent until she tied the knot with her honey. It all started with a conversation with Wilson about the "intimacy part" of their romantic relationship, where the two learned that they were totally in sync.
"I have to give credit to my husband for sharing those views. It's awesome how it all worked out," said Ciara. "We women think with our hearts and with our minds. When we see a guy, we envision what he's like and whether this could be something special. Guys see us from an exterior point of view — that's something I learned along the way as a woman... You shouldn't feel like you have to give your body away to get someone to like you." Amen, sister friend.
So would "I Bet" singer still stay out of the boudoir if she had to do it all over again? You bet.
"I really believe that when you focus on a friendship, you have the opportunity to build a strong foundation for a relationship," Ciara explained. "And once you know you're really great friends and you're what we call 'equally yoked' — where you share the same values or the same outlook on life — it kind of sets the tone."
"Knowing that you'll always have the friendship and that you can always go back to it is very important, and very powerful."
Shopping for a wedding prom dress as a size 14 is no cake walk, just ask model and advocate Jennie Runk, who married the love of her life, Andria, in October 2016 while wearing a stunning, figure-hugging gown. But finding that perfect wedding dress, was no easy feat. Here, Jennie details her own less-than-perfect experience.
I’m one of the most confident people I know. But I haven’t always been confident in my own skin. Growing up, I was always taller and bigger than the girls (and most of the boys) my age. I’ve been fortunate that modeling for over the past ten years has given me the opportunity to really accept my body for everything it is: big, curvy and beautiful.
However, leaving my first wedding dress appointment — preparing for one of the happiest days of my life — I’ve almost never felt worse about my body.
Living in New York City, I expected to have seemingly unlimited options for a wedding dress. This is one of the fashion capitals of the world, right? But in going into the first bridal boutique, I was astounded to find that they had nothing that would fit me. At a size 14 (the average size of American women, by the way), I was unable to fit into the boutique’s sample sizes of 6 or 8. The saleswoman was very sweet and tried to be accommodating — putting me in bigger skirts and holding the top of a smaller dress up to my bust to get an idea for what a larger dress might look like — but ordering a dress you’ve never tried on before for one of the biggest days of your life was something I just wasn’t ready to do.
The second boutique I visited in New York was an even bigger disaster. I felt like Julia Roberts’ character in Pretty Woman. I told the saleswoman the vision I had for my dream dress and she looked me up and down and said ‘we don’t have anything like that in your size.’ I was floored. So I walked right out of there thinking to myself that she’d made a ‘Big mistake. Big. Huge.’ in not helping me.
Now, I’ve never been much of a shopper. Growing up, I was always more interested in the next Stephen King novel than going to the mall. But shopping for my wedding dress was different — I was looking forward to it! As a model, I’ve learned to be comfortable and confident in my own skin. I’m a proud plus-size woman with big, beautiful curves! But leaving two appointments not only without a gown, but without being able to try anything my size on was completely defeating. I couldn’t imagine what the other plus-size women out there were experiencing, with lower self-esteem than mine.
I was about to resign myself to ordering a gown from the first boutique. The saleswoman was very sweet and I liked the idea of what the gown would look like. But, of course, I couldn’t try it on in my size until after it was purchased. I just didn’t want to shop anymore. Any fun that was supposed to come from wedding dress shopping had been sucked out by stores failing to carry a wider selection of sample sizes. It’s not like they weren’t available; the stores just didn’t carry them.
On a trip home to Missouri, my mom and sister convinced me to try shopping again. I was not interested in putting myself in a position to feel miserable about my body again, but still wasn’t happy with the options I’d found in NYC. I finally agreed to give St. Louis shopping a try.
To my delight, Maiden Voyage Bridal in Manchester, Missouri was completely different. I described my dream dress to the saleswoman and she seemed to get it instantly. The onsite seamstress was able to open up any dress I wanted so I could actually try on the dresses to see what the final product would look like. To this day, I don’t understand why every store doesn’t do this. It seemed like just part of their process to take the sample dresses apart and then sew them back together. That’s what they’re there for, right?
With some slight tweaking and pulling together the right accessories, I fell in love with a gown and never wanted to take it off!
I’m thrilled with my wedding dress (and even spent much less money than I expected!), but getting there was such a discouraging process. The fashion industry has done such a great job of moving towards inclusivity for all sizes, but in my experience, much of the bridal industry hasn’t caught up yet. I wish designers included a larger range of sample sizes to send to bridal shops, which would have made my experience — and that of so many other women — much more positive. Just because you’re a size 14, or 22, or even a size 2, doesn’t mean that the experience of shopping for your wedding dress should be any less special than someone who fits into the sample sizes 6-8.
My advice? Call the boutiques before venturing out to see if the stores have wedding occasion dresses options in your size. Some day soon, I hope to see every bridal boutique carry a wider range of sample sizes. But until then, set yourself up for success by just calling ahead.

Brown corduroy. Brown corduroy! Can you imagine a designer of international repute and unfathomable influence using such a square! idea as the foundation of a collection which is also coincident with a major media re-positioning of their company for the future? Well, yes, if that designer is Miuccia Prada, who, in a flush of late-adult-onset empathy, is experiencing the joys of simple human normalcy.
Her men’s presentation for Autumn/Winter 2017 was a love story, as in Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal in scarves and cords canoodling in the 1970 movie of the same name. “At the edge of generic,” were Miuccia’s own words to describe where she found herself with her new collection. She herself was in love with the first looks in the show: the shirt, the sweater, the pair of pants, the sheer anti-fashion-ness of it all. “Deep down in my heart, that was the point,” she said.
Simple the emotion may have been, but the motivation was complex. Miuccia was looking at a world where celebrity and money conspire to make ordinary people feel inadequate, and she wanted to mollify such feelings. It’s not people who are at fault, it’s the system. Exactly how you use fashion to express such thoughts was the challenge she set herself, and she chose to do it by elevating the ordinary, finding the hero in the everyday. “The opposite of important,” she called it.
There was, for instance, a new print process on knitwear — sweaters and socks — which looked like it might be duplicating some artist of note. But no. “Sunday artists,” said Miuccia. Ordinary guys who might display their work on the weekend in Montmartre or along the railings in Hyde Park. And these were the same guys who might wear a brown leather jacket with corduroys in a similar shade of brown or rust. Probably wearing Kickers. Resolutely average.
So this is where the strange alchemy that we know as fashion creeps into the picture. The venue for Sunday’s show was staged with beds immaculately made up with synthetic sheets and pillows. The first one we encountered on entry was red. You might imagine the accommodation in Twin Peaks’ Black Lodge offering something similar. Such a fetishised vision of domesticity hinted at a subversion of the normalcy of the clothes. So did the accessories, footwear like furry bigfoot things, and pendants, twigs and stones, pagan souvenirs plucked from the woods outside Milan.
Miuccia threw Prada’s pre-fall womenswear into the mix: Saskia de Brauw wore an angora skirt in red matched to a turquoise cardigan, also in angora. The combination, the fabrication was disturbing enough that it acted as a flagrant reminder of Westwood/McLaren’s assaults on propriety in their Sex/Seditionaries days.
And that’s how you contextualise brown corduroy. Desire is the intangible that fuels fashion. Deep down in her heart, Miuccia Prada understands that better than anyone. She proved it again on Sunday night.

What jewelry should I have in my jewelry box? I try to test the fashion boundaries and be creative, but I end up feeling like I look like a little girl playing uk prom dresses-up, and then I get frustrated that I’ve wasted my money on top of it. What is worth investing in, and what is not worth investing in?
I’m a firm believer in the fact that the jewelry you own should reflect your personal style. If you’re more classic, then your jewelry box should have gold or silver bangles, a classic charm necklace, strands of pearls and similar timeless pieces. If you’re more artsy or bohemian, then your jewelry box should be comprised of long pendant necklaces, hoop earrings, cut stone cuffs and fun jewelry that reflects your artistic taste. If you enjoy a more minimal look, then clean-line pieces like thin hoops, delicate stackable rings and even a streamlined cuff are necessities. No matter what your style, I do have a handful of accessories that every woman should own. In my “Style Secrets with Megan” video, I share these must-have pieces with you.
We are grateful to all our sponsors:
As far as what to invest in, fine jewelry with classic lines that suit your lifestyle and style are always a good idea. Ask yourself if you would enjoy wearing that piece on a regular basis and if you can dress it up and down. As far as costume pieces, know that they date themselves within three months to a year, so don’t invest too much in trendier pieces.
I have a pair of white jeans that I don’t want to wait until Easter to wear. Does that “no white after Labor Day” rule still apply?
This is always a hot-button topic, but one I’m really passionate about so merci beaucoup for asking! I 100% believe that you can wear your full-length white jeans all year long. The key is selecting accompanying pieces in fall or winter fabrics and colors to ensure that your white jeans don’t read “summer.” For example, wear your white jeans with a berry-colored cashmere sweater and brown booties to create a chic, winter-white look.
Lastly, know that the same rule does not apply to white pants. If you are to wear white pants in the fall or winter, they do need to be a heavier fabric and perhaps even more of a creamy white color. To see some easy-to-copy winter-white looks, check out my shoppable guide.

I’m a mom of three, and I’m constantly on the go. I hardly have time to put much thought into my wardrobe, let alone getting all the kids where they need to be. Any tips for how I can still feel put together when I don’t have much time to get ready in the morning?
Many of my clients are busy moms, so I hear this often! The number one thing you can do to streamline your morning is to do the prep work that allows for ease daily. That includes setting aside time to properly cleanse your closet of items no longer serving you. (And remember: maintenance is important too! I keep a donation bag in my closet and toss anything I know I won’t select when getting dressed daily.) The next step is “filling in the holes” with personality-driven pieces and basics. When purchasing new items, be intentional about your choices by making sure to have the right ratio of bottoms, tops, third pieces and accessories. That will allow for easy-to-mix-and-match outfits for all occasions without having to change multiple times each morning!
While you work on getting your wardrobe to a “happy place,” it’s important to always get dressed for the day, even if you are a stay-at-home mom or work from home. Get out of your athletic wear and your knock-around clothes, and put on an outfit complete with accessories to help you feel your best! Recently a client told me that by just following this simple step of getting dressed for the day, she lost 15 pounds due to the fact that she was more conscious of how her clothes felt and she started taking more pride in her self-care daily.
We are grateful to all our sponsors:
I’ve seen you call yourself a style coach, but I thought you were a stylist? What’s the difference?
That’s a fabulous question as I do many of the things that a stylist or personal shopper does, such as closet cleanses, shopping, outfit making and more. But the reason I call myself a style coach is that, years ago while working with my first clients, I realized that to get them long-lasting, sustainable and all-around fabulous results, we needed to focus on their style education. Becoming confident and comfortable with your style and wardrobe is just like learning to speak French or to play tennis. It takes time, practice and the right information! The style coaching experience that I provide my clients allows them to learn more about their authentic style in a fun way, in addition to deeper coaching around sensitive subjects such as body image as needed. You can find a wonderful and comprehensive article from StyleBlueprint on my journey to becoming a style coach and what it means to me and my clients.

I have a black-tie wedding coming up in February. Is it acceptable to wear flats? Heels just hurt my feet so badly!
Absolutely — as long as they are dressy flats! A dressy flat needs to do the same thing as an evening heel. It needs to have a more delicate look to it. Options can include a metallic peep-toe flat, a flat with a design element on the toe or even a flat with a small wedge or stacked heel. Know that stacked heel shoes are very “in,” so this is your season as this style shoe is also often comfortable and supportive. Lastly, one of my favorite shoe rules is selecting a shoe with a more almond-shaped toe. It’s more flattering and more timeless, ensuring you look stylish and black-tie appropriate at your upcoming wedding.

What’s the best brand of jeans for a woman in her 50s? I am getting increasingly frustrated with the pervasive styles that seem like they’re meant for only younger women or models. And I consider myself hip and “with it” — it’s just that my body is changing! How can I find jeans that comfortably fit my body?
First, know that you are not alone in your search for a comfy, well-fitting jean! That is often my clients’ and my first order of business when we begin our work together. One of my favorite denim brands for women in their 50s — but they can be great for all ages — is Not Your Daughters Jeans (NYDJ). These jeans typically have a higher rise and beautifully fit a curvier derrière and more defined waist. I had one client in her 50s tell me she had tried every brand of jeans, and jeans just weren’t for her. Once I introduced her to NYDJ she was an immediate convert! She now owns NYDJ jeans in a wide variety of styles and colors. But if you prefer a different brand, then look for jean styles with a rise of 9 to 10 inches to ensure they fit nicely on your silhouette.

I’m 5’2″ and love the look of over-the-knee (OTK) boots, but I’m not sure I have the vertical real estate to make them work. Will I look like I’m sitting in a large boot? Is it possible for me, a “vertically challenged” woman, to pull off an OTK boot?
Great question! I have clients ask me this quite often, as OTK boots are not only on-trend right now, but they can really elevate your look! I would say, even though you’re petite, if you consider your legs an asset, you can rock this boot style. However, it’s veryimportant to streamline the look to elongate your silhouette. You can easily do this by selecting the same color jean as your OTK boot to create a lovely vertical line. Example: black jean + black OTK boot = tres chic! If you don’t love your legs, then I would opt for ankle booties that aren’t drawing as much attention to your legs, and add a pop of interest in another area that you do love! For more tips on how to rock OTK boots, check out this great article in StyleBlueprint, where I share how to wear this boot style at any age.
You’ve found your gown, set the prom dress uk code and figured out what your bridesmaids are going to wear. Think you’re done figuring out attire for your wedding? Think again. While the dress code is all the guidance you can give to your guests, there are a few VIPs you’ll want to talk to more specifically about what they’ll wear. After all, they’ll be in all of your wedding photos and you want them to look their best! So can you tell your mom what you want her to wear to your wedding? Here’s what our experts have to say.
You knew you’d need to choose a dress for your bridesmaids (unless you’re going mismatched, of course!), but dressing your mom may not have been on your radar. While you don’t need to pick out her exact outfit for her, giving your mom some guidance will help her find a dress that’s the perfect fit for your theme and dress code, as well as make her feel more comfortable in what she’s chosen.
If your mom has great style and is confident shopping on her own, give her a few key details to look for, then let her loose. That could be a general color scheme, a length or fabric, or a style you want her to lean toward or avoid. Is she less comfortable buying formal-wear on her own? Turn it into a girls’ day! Head to the mall together, then help her narrow down the choices so she finds something that looks and feels great.
For the most part, the mother of the bride tends to wear a color that coordinates with the design of the wedding. That could be a navy prom dress shops if you’ve picked a preppy scheme, a shade of pink if your centerpieces range from blush to fuchsia, or gold or champagne if you’re going totally formal. Make sure you let her know what the bridesmaids will be wearing so she doesn’t accidentally pick something too similar!
Of course, having your mom match your wedding isn’t required. We love a mom in a bright ball gown at a black-and-white wedding, or a playful floral print for a springtime bash.

Victoria Beckham has been a source of high style inspiration for the past three decades. She made us dream about “little Gucci marieprom dresses” during her Posh Spice days in the ’90s. Gave us the inspiration and confidence to chop our hair off and wear our most dangerous heels in the ’00s. And of course, made her incomparable aesthetic easier than ever to copy in this decade with her eponymous fashion line and makeup collaboration with Estée Lauder. But turns out she has some (scratch that, many!) style regrets and just got very candid about about her most infamous fashion phases. Trust us, you’re going to want to stop what you’re doing to read this now.
She penned a letter to her 18-year-old self for British Vogue in an effort to impart fashion advice and beauty wisdom before kicking off her highly-publicized adult life in the spotlight. In the letter she talks about marriage, plastic surgery, hairspray (and yes, her switch to sneakers!) and doesn’t leave any detail out. We picked out her her best fashion and beauty rules, below, so you can make 2017 your most Posh-inspired yet.
Own your plastic surgery procedures
She’s visibly gone up (and down) in cup sizes over the years, and ended up really regretting it. “I should probably say, don’t mess with your boobs,” she writes to herself. “All those years I denied it — stupid. A sign of insecurity. Just celebrate what you’ve got.”
Victoria and her hot husband David Beckham have been married for 17 years, and she credits at least part of that longevity to effort. “In marriage: have patience. Bite your tongue. Be supportive. And preserve a bit of mystique,” she says. “Never let yourself go completely (at least brush your hair, clean your teeth, have a bit of a brow going on because you will always want him to look at you and feel attracted).”
A little hairspray goes a long way
She tells her teenage self to let “her skin breathe” by wearing less makeup and warns her to never, ever let a makeup artist shave her eyebrows. But there’s one beauty addiction she’ll never overcome. “You will always be addicted to Elnett hairspray but you will tone it down. Less of the ‘Hello! I just got stuck in a wind tunnel’, please.”
