Brits Fashion: Hits and Misses

Super cool ... Rihanna
LAST night London unfurled the red carpet for the THIRD time this week.

And fashion mad Rihanna made sure that the Brits' carpet was every inch as glamorous as the BAFTAs and even the Elle style awards.

The Barbadian babe chose a psychedelic Christian Dior Couture prom dress - costing in excess of £10,000 - to attend the music awards, teaming it with patent stilettoes and a neat bob.

Gothic glam ... Cheryl
And she wasn't the only one to use eye-popping colour to cause a style statement.

Cheryl Cole channelled a gothic glam look in a shimmering Stella McCartney backless gown accessorised with nude Christian Louboutin heels and a £1000 Alexander McQueen knuckle duster bag.

Alesha Dixon's dodgy 'rock chick' look was more night at the Ritzy than red carpet fabulous.

Dolled-up ... Alesha Dixon, Avril Lavigne and Sophie Ellis Bextor

Wild child Avril Lavigne failed to set any pulses racing in her fringed LBD, which made her look skinny and young rather than rocking.

And Heidi Range and EastEnders' star Preeya Kalidas proved that it's almost impossible to pull off a catsuit.

Presenter Tess Daly teamed her purple halterneck dress with a cute Heidi hairdo and silver accessories.

Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt also opted for a mini - in a simple brocade lace dress and nude stilletoes.

Corinne Bailey Rae brightened up a chilly evening in a purple puffball dress and YSL clutch bag.

Green goddess ... Katherine Jenkins
Redhead Paloma Faith was the first to buck the micro mini trend, channelling old school glamour in a Vivienne Westwood floor-length column dress teamed with satin opera gloves and an oversized bow that only she could get away with.

Jessie J showed off her fabulous legs in an emerald green Vivienne Westwood micro dress and statement tights.

Leggy ... Jessie J
Ellie Goulding opted for floor sweeping Westwood but was swamped in a shapeless cream satin frock.

And sexy soprano Katherine Jenkins chose a green printed corset dress by the fashion dame.

Eliza Doolittle chose a £2000 body-skimming knitted dress by LFW favourite Mark Fast - wearing it back to front and teaming it with sky high colour block wedges.

Performer Adele played it safe in a beaded black dress and pumps - but we loved her glamorous make-up, including some serious false eyelashes.

Ex Atomic Kitten Liz McLarnon played it safe in a black shirt dress teamed with a pretty fishtail plait.

Joker ... Johnny Vaughan with Lisa Snowden
While model and presenter Lisa Snowdon ramped up the red carpet colour, choosing a lime green assymetric frock that made the most of her pretty, tanned pins.

Party time ... Hofit Golan, Fearne Cotton and Emma Willis

Unfortunately playgirl Kayla Collins made a faux-tan boo boo, completely mismatching the colour of her face and legs in a sexy ballerina style dress.

Radio 1 gals Jo Whiley, Sara Cox and Annie Mac arrived en masse looking cool and comfortable.
While fellow DJ Fearne Cotton caused a stir among the snappers with her almost see-through Alice Temperley dress.

Half of All Brit Women Have Rectangular-Shaped Bodies

A new research has revealed that there are five times as many rectangular-shaped British women as those with the classic Marilyn Monroe hourglass figures.

Almost one in two British women fall into the rectangle category just like Keira Knightley and Cameron Diaz.

Using 3D imaging technology to measure 50,000 women in the UK and Europe, it had produced more accurate templates.

Its 'size 12', for example, measured 35.4 inches on the bust, 28.3 inches on the waist, 35.4 inches around the high hip and 38.6 inches on the low hip.

Analysts insisted that once it was applied in the high street, the proportion of women who find an excellent or adequate fit rose from 40 per cent to 63 per cent.

However, a spokesman added that there are three other mainstream body types in the UK.

One in three women is a 'spoon', where the hips are at least four inches wider than the bust. And slightly more than one in ten are 'inverted triangles', where the bust is at least four inches greater than the hips.

Nearly one in ten falls into the hourglass category, where the bust is at least 7in bigger than the waist while the hips are within 4in of the bust.

"People are frustrated and confused by the different sizes and fits they find on the high street," the Daily Mail quoted Alvanon chief executive Janice Wang as saying.

"The industry uses an hourglass figure, which has not changed for many years.

"However, the reality is that the most prevalent shapes are the rectangle, which is not as curvy, the spoon and the inverted triangle. Brands need to adapt to reflect this reality," Wang added.

Clothing fit analysts at Alvanon, which develops size models used by designers and retailers, have collated the figures.

Helicopter Charter During the Winter Period
