Refresh your workout wardrobe with Kim's leggings

Another day, another workout for Kim Kardashian. We’re rather tired of the yummy mummy showing us up with her exercise regime. Don’t you ever take a break and just sit on the couch all day in your pyjamas eating Doritos, Kim?! OK, just us then…

Unlike her red-carpet wardrobe, the reality star always keeps it simple when it comes to her workout gear. She’s a big fan of basic three-quarter leggings, and here she wears a pair from Splits 59.

Kim has a few pairs of leggings from the brand and Miranda Kerr has sported them before too. So what makes them an A-list must have? The label uses quick-dry sport performance, breathable fabrics that fit like a glove and are super comfy. Plus, their designs are always slick and modern. We all know Kim likes to look good!

You can get Kim’s workout leggings by clicking right. They’re an American company, but the good news is that they ship to the UK! Alternatively, shop our pick of the best three-quarter length leggings on the web below, and don’t forget to shave those legs!

Channel 50's glamour in an off-the-shoulder dress

With its retro-inspired silhouette, fitted bodice and flattering pencil skirt, Kylie’s little black dress is a perennial party classic. Channelling some serious Bridget Bardot vibes, she teamed it with statement black stilettos, a slick of lipstick and her famous coiffed locks.

Ever since her chic comeback on BBC’s The Voice, nineties pop princess Kylie Minogue has been firmly back on our fashion radar. And she’s wasted no time in reminding us what we’ve been missing, from her classic leg-enhancing LBDs, to her fetish for Dolce & Gabbana and sky high platform stilettos.
But, it was the black Gucci dress, which she wore for last week’s inaugural episode, that really had our sartorial pulses racing. This simple classic number can thankfully still be bought from Net-a-Porter. So if you’re keen to get Kylie’s popstar look, click on the link to the right to pick yours up before it’s too late. Alternatively, we’ve been doing some serious groundwork and chosen our favourite versions, some of which are even in the sale!

Team this simple lace dress from New Look (below) with minimal jewellery, a Hollywood-style blow dry and killer heels for a show-stopping party vibe.

Brighten up any outfit with a statement clutch bag

Continuing her streak of great maternity looks, Michelle Heaton looked glowing here in her navy low back dress. It was, however, her Dune clutch bag that caught our eye immediately though - what a fabulous addition!

When one wears a quite simple dress, of one or two block colours, it's important to add colourful accessories to pull the whole look together. Michelle wore her trusty Christian Louboutin silver peep toes, but they are barely seen. So it was this Aztec design clutch that did all the talking.
Perfect for a night out on the tiles, this bag is big enough for all the essentials: phone, keys and lip gloss. And because of it's bright multi coloured pattern, could be used to dress up almost any outfit. You could even use it during the day, in a chic Carrie Bradshaw kind of way.
This beaded colourful zig zag design is synonymous of the Italian fashion house Missoni. They use it not only for their accessories, but also in their ready-to-wear collections. There's a reason why it's so popular... it's just gorgeous!
Bad news though, this bag is actually no longer for sale, it's quite an old item, but check out some of the others we've found below.

Cuddle up this Christmas in Sam's fluffy jumper

We don't blame Sam Bailey for wanting to keep it casual in a cosy jumper. After ten weeks of performing on the X Factor in super glamorous dresses and jumpsuits, she deserves a bit of a break this festive season. Although it looks like she won't stay wrapped up warm for long if that lingerie we spotted her husband buying earlier today is for her...

But it's all been worth it. She pipped Pharell Williams to the post and is now a number one artist with a super stylish wardrobe to boot. She enjoyed a total wardrobe overhaul thanks to the X Factor stylists, and now she's rarely out of key high street pieces.
Take this fluffy jumper dress from River Island as an example. It's a style similar to those we've seen on the likes of Lucy Mecklenburgh and is the perfect way to layer up this winter. In super flattering black it will hide any pounds you might pile on post-Christmas pud and is a sophisticated alternative to a novelty knit.
So if you fancy a bit of fluff, click the link on the right to steal Sam's superstar style. Alternatively, the rest of the high street has got cosy covered this season, so we've brought you the best below. Pair yours with a leather pencil skirt to play with textures and some Skyscraper heels (see what we did there?)

Rihanna Fashion

When it comes to fashion, few people push the boat out as much as Rihanna.
And whether she's performing on stage or enjoying a sedate evening out, the 26-year-old singer still courts attention with her sartorial choices.
So when she headed out to her favourite Los Angeles eatery Giorgio Baldi on Thursday night, Rihanna opted for an eye-catching outfit of a completely see-through skirt over a pair of bright knickers.

The underwear choice was clearly meant to add to the attention-grabbing aspect of the ensemble, given that she went for pink rather than a more modest white or nude.
Clearly unconcerned about just how much flesh was on show beneath the white net skirt, Rihanna looked confident as she headed home after dinner at the restaurant.
And the rest of her outfit was hardly modest either, as she teamed the skirt with a stomach-baring white sweater.

Leigh-Anne Pinnock Shows

They've been working hard supporting Demi Lovato on her Neon Lights tour and are now gearing up for their own arena tour.
And Little Mix displayed the results of such an energetic routine as they showed off their slim figures at the ITV studios on Friday.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock led the way as she drew attention to her enviably flat stomach in a white crossover bra top with a pair of patterned silk trousers and a similar patterned jacket.

Who's the fairest of them all? Little Mix looked stunning in their outfits as they arrived at the ITV studios on Friday morning for an interview on This Morning

Toned: Leigh-Anne Pinnock showed off her tiny frame in a bra top and patterned trouser suit for the interview

The 22-year-old teamed her outfit with green printed sandals and hoop earrings, with green nail varnish and brown lipstick.
However, it was her tiny waist that really caught the eye - with Leigh-Anne grinning as she drew attention to her washboard abs by posing with her hand on her hips.
Jade Thirlwall, 21, also opted for a stomach-baring outfit in a patterned two-piece consisting of a cropped top and high-waisted trousers - flashing just a hint of toned tummy.   

Denise Show in Daisy Dukes and sheer blouse

She’s been touring the UK with her one woman show, but Denise Van Outen swapped stage for radio on Saturday when she presented her weekly show on Magic FM.
But it was her outfit, not her presenting skills that garnered attention as she left the Central London studio later that day.


The 39-year-old looked svelte in a pair of Daisy Duke style denim shorts matched with sheer blouse and cropped tuxedo jacket as she posed for photos before making her way home. 

Denise added to a neutral theme with black tights and on trend ankle boots, while a black leather handbag rounded things off.
The actress and presenter completed her look with a pair of sunglasses after making her way out of the studio on a warm day in the capital.
Mother of one Denise is currently appearing onstage in Some Girl I Used To Know, and she recently opened up about taking to the stage alone. 

Sarah Harding Fashion

She insists she's a 'flabby' size eight and not in the best shape as she prepares to go it alone in the music business.
But judging by these jolly images of blonde bombshell Sarah Harding, she looked in formidable form in a pair of unforgiving skin-tight lyrca leggings as the last of the Girls Aloud to hit the mic solo.
The 32-year-old caused onlookers to do a double-take as she left a north London recording studio on Saturday where she was rehearsing ahead of Wednesday's first solo live gig at Islington's O2 Academy.

Trim pins: Sarah Harding looked in formidable form in a pair of unforgiving skin-tight lycra leggings as she left a north London recording studio on Saturday where she was rehearsing ahead of Wednesday's first solo live gig at Islington's O2 Academy

Known for her racy image and party lifestyle, the latter landing her in rehab a little more than two years ago, she was the picture of wholesome happiness.
She was seen leaving the studio in tight lycra, a pink top and vertiginous boots as fans chased her for autographs and selfies, forcing her to removed her all encompassing headphones to chat.
Looking positively radiant, Sarah kept out the glare of the dazzling sunshine with a pair of white-framed sunglasses and kept her make-up natural and wore a slick of clear gloss on her lips.

BAZ BAMIGBOYE: Sherlock WILL play Hamlet

Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch has firmly committed to playing Shakespeare’s ‘sweet prince’ now that a home has been found for his Hamlet.
I can reveal that the play about the troubled Dane will begin performances in August next year at London’s Barbican Theatre.

It had been hoped that Cumberbatch’s Hamlet would run this year, but we’ll have to wait — mainly because of a paucity of appropriate venues, but also thanks to the packed schedules of Cumberbatch and Hamlet’s director Lyndsey Turner.

The show will be the centrepiece of the Barbican’s 2015 season.
When approached on the matter, Hamlet producer Sonia Friedman said: ‘I can confirm that we are in final negotiations with the Barbican,’ but she declined to comment further.
However, others associated with the production told me Cumberbatch was better able to clear a big chunk of time in 2015 — he has agreed to commit to a 12-week run in the Barbican, and at least six weeks of preparation and rehearsal time.
Cumberbatch will also meet periodically with director Turner to work out how to approach the Bard’s landmark drama, which is seen as a test of an actor’s stage ability.
The 1,166-seat Barbican Theatre is big enough to house Cumberbatch’s growing fan-base, which has exploded since the success of Sherlock on BBC TV and the star’s appearances in blockbuster movies such as Star Trek: Into Darkness, August: Osage County and the Oscar-winning 12 Years A Slave.

He last appeared on stage at the National Theatre in Frankenstein, directed by Danny Boyle.
Cumberbatch has a major movie coming out in the Autumn called The Imitation Game, which is expected to figure in the next awards season.
He portrays the World War II code-breaking mastermind Alan Turing, while Keira Knightley portrays one of his Bletchley Park colleagues.

 

No rest for Imelda’s mean queen

Imelda Staunton is so gifted at inhabiting the characters she plays that it was rather disconcerting to meet the real Imelda in her dressing room and not mean-spirited Margie, the Boston-Irish woman she’d been portraying on stage for more than two hours.
The award-winning actress is starring in David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer-prize winning play Good People, which focuses on Margie, a woman who had precious few choices offered to her, growing up in Boston’s tough Southside.
Good People has been playing to packed houses at the Hampstead Theatre, and it closes on April 5. Five days later, it will begin performances at the Noel Coward, in the West End, for a ten-week season.
‘That was a shock,’ the actress joked. ‘I was looking forward to putting my feet up.’
The transfer happened very quickly after The Full Monty suddenly got its notice at the Noel Coward. Handily, Good People was thinking about a move and so a deal was struck in a matter of days.
Imelda had been hoping for a little rest before going into rehearsals for the musical Gypsy, which starts previews in Chichester from October 6.

Good People ran on Broadway a couple of years ago with an American cast, but I found the production sluggish. At the Hampstead, though, under the direction of Jonathan Kent, it cracks along like a psychological thriller and is much tighter — and funnier.
Constant tardiness has cost Imelda’s Margie her job in the American equivalent of a pound store. She lives hand to mouth while trying to care for her grown-up daughter, who doesn’t leave the apartment.
Margie meets Mike, an old flame (played by Lloyd Owen), who is married and living a swanky life well away from his old, hard-knock upbringing in ‘Southie’. Mike resents Margie barging her way into his comfort zone.
‘Her tough life has made her meaner. She wasn’t always that way,’ Imelda told me. ‘Margie’s unpleasant — and I like that. I like that people don’t like her, then like her; and they don’t like Mike, then they change their minds.’

She said she can hear audiences gasping and going ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’. ‘It’s about money, race and class — and the fact that not everyone has choices,’ she said.
Once Good People is over, Imelda will have a short holiday and then start work on her role as Mama Rose for Gypsy.
Stephen Sondheim told me he has waited a long time for Imelda to do the part. ‘She will be a Rose to remember,’ he said when we met backstage in New York a couple of weeks ago.
‘Rose’s life has made her hard, too,’ Imelda noted.
But she will conquer her, just as she has Margie.

 

Over at the London Palladium, folks have been calling the new X Factor musical, I Can’t Sing, ‘Glyndebourne’ — because, as with the famous opera house in East Sussex, you have time to eat your dinner during the interval.
Actually, that joke’s old now. Yes, when previews started the interval was 48 minutes long. Lately, though, it’s been an average of 26 minutes, which makes the bar manager happy, because more people buy more of the awful wine at £10 a glass.
The trouble arose because Es Devlin’s set in the first act was so huge that it couldn’t be shifted in time to fit in the sets for the second act. Simple solution: chop chunks off the first set and re-engineer it to make it fit. Which is what has happened.

Audiences who do pay to see I Can’t Sing — written by comedian Harry Hill — are praising Nigel Harman, Victoria Elliott and Katy Secombe. Like me, they give some parts of the show eight out of ten. Other parts, though, get just two out of ten.
People connected to the musical are, as one executive put it, ‘obviously nervous’ because not all of the show is working, and people haven’t been rushing to buy seats. It has £1.05 million in advance sales — not perilous, but getting there.
Who knows? Maybe I Can’t Sing will be a hit with critics and will receive five-star reviews and run for 12 years, like we Will Rock You.
On the other hand, a few wags have said that other shows are already being lined up for the Palladium. However, a big chief at the Really Useful Group, which owns the Palladium, refuted that. ‘RUG is not having discussions with any other producer, nor would we.’

 

Nigel Havers who will play Algernon, and Martin Jarvis,who will play Jack, in a novel production of The Importance Of Being Earnest, which will start at the Harold Pinter Theatre on June 27.
Director Lucy Bailey’s production imagines a fictional Bunbury Players putting on a production of Oscar Wilde’s play as they have done, over and over, for decades. Hence the age of the players.
It’s apt, because Havers and Jarvis starred in a production Peter Hall directed at the National Theatre back in 1982, with Judi Dench as Lady Bracknell.

Sian Phillips will play Lady Bracknell this time around; Cherie Lunghi is Gwendolen, Christine Kavanagh will be Cecily, Rosalind Ayres is Miss Prism, and Niall Buggy will take the role of Reverend Chasuble.
Producer Rupert Gavin said the ensemble have ‘never been allowed to stop playing, so they’ve grown into the roles, and are very good’.
The comedy will run at the Pinter from September 20 before going on tour to Bath, Richmond, Aylesbury, Brighton and Birmingham.

Robert Lindsay, Rufus Hound, Katherine Kingsley, Samantha Bond, John Marquez and newcomer Lizzy Connolly, who are on sparkling form in  Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, which is previewing at the Savoy Theatre. It’s directed and choreographed with pizzazz and style by Jerry Mitchell.
When I saw it in New York a few years back, it wasn’t half as funny as it is now. Students of theatre should go and see what a masterclass in how to put on a musical looks like.
I don’t even remember most of the songs, but it doesn’t matter. It’s just unexpectedly, enormously enjoyable.
The Royal Shakespeare Company’s adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies, which have sold a phenomenal £4.3 million worth of tickets at the Aldwych Theatre in London — which is where the two dramas will transfer to, from Stratford from May 1, for a limited season.
There’s a chance that they might be allowed to extend for a short period, although The Bodyguard hopes to move into the Aldwych after the Mantel plays.
The Bodyguard has to get out of its present home, the Adelphi, in September.

Jamie Johnson and Sally Barker to win a fast pass to The Voice semi-final

Christina Marie stunned judges on The Voice with a sensational high note to win one of four fast passes to the semi-final of The voice.

Performing last in the competition, she sang the Foo Fighters' Everlong, which took her straight through to the the next stage in the competition.

The singer was clearly emotional as Ricky said of the song: 'I think it's what the world was waiting for. That was amazing you'll go a long way.'

Mesmersing: Christina Marie blew the judges away on The Voice, earning herself a fast pass to the next round of the show

Will praised her ability to conquer her nerves, saying: 'For a person that was throwing up you sounded amazing,.

'You controlled it so well. The high note at the end was just mesmerising.'

Tom added: That was great, great, great. Tremendous', while Kylie said: 'I'm in awe. That was world class.'

Amanda Bynes looks happy and healthy

She has turned her life around since entering rehab last year.

And in a series of Twitter photos shared by Amanda Bynes on Friday, the actress turned design student truly did appear back to her best.

The 27-year-old looked healthy and happy as she posed alongside her mother and father at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles, where she is now studying.
Her parents have proved the key to Amanda's recovery, supporting her even when she rejected their help at her worst point.

A new leaf! Amanda Bynes shared a Twitter snap of she and her parents at a FIDM event on Friday in which she looked gorgeous, happy and healthy

Amanda was elegantly clad in loose-fitting khaki high-waisted
trousers, pulled over the top of a basic black tank top showing off just enough skin to maintain class.

With a gold chain handbag slung over one arm, she posed alongside her parents, Rick and Lynn, on the backdrop of a presentation marking the 2014 FIDM Debut which welcomed the school's new students.

Her hair was coloured a pretty, natural shade of blonde and styled in neat and curls - a marked difference to the bleach blonde style she wore for a long time in 2013.

What a turnaround! The 27-year-old actress turned fashion student looked beautiful as she posed for a selfie with her mother at the event

The pretty star's face was beautifully made up with light lashings of mascara and lip colour, bringing her back to a naturally stunning state.

The Twitter posts mark only the third time that Amanda has made use of the social networking site since she came out of rehab to live with her parents and started studying in December 2013.

She involved herself in college life by using the hashtag #FIDMDEBUT alongside each of her uploads, clearly proud to be part of the reputable institute.
Amanda notoriously went through a very public meltdown last year, documenting her emotional journey via Twitter and being photographed out and about in various questionable situations and looks.

Rose McGowan Fashion

Even at 40-years-old, Rose McGowan has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood.
And it was on show on a Friday date night with her husband Davy Detail, whom she married in October.
As the Jawbreaker actress left her romantic meal at Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood, her curves were revealed through her sheer black blouse.

Missing a key component: Rose McGowan went braless under her see-through shirt for date night with her husband Davey Detail on Friday

Edgy dresser Rose is clearly proud of her impressive figure, also sporting a black mini skirt and sheer black tights.
Adding some colour for the spring season, the brunette beauty accessorised with a red waist belt.
The Charmed actress was also wearing a pair of black booties to go with her evening ensemble, which coordinated with her vivid lipstick.

Rose brought along a chic YSL clutch.
It has recently been confirmed that she will reprise her character of young Cora in Once Upon A Time, returning to the ABC fantasy drama in the upcoming 18th episode of the current third season.
The series picks back up with episode 12 in March following the cliffhanger mid-season finale.
