Rihanna’s winning white dress on the X Factor final

December 9, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

She’s been on it a million times, but Rihanna always steals the show. (I honestly think James Arthur winning the X Factor is yet another “angry young man turns cheesy sellout” situation a la Matt Cardle. Good luck to him having to wait a year before he can release an album.) I loved the toned-down …

Kylie Minogue gold X Factor dress

December 9, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 2 Comments

There was only one fashion finalist on last night’s X factor. Forget Tulisa in her rubberised, far-too-severe prom dress that she’d wedged her hooters into (I bet she had to use talc). Don’t even trouble yourself with Nicole and that strange, silver “cut-out” ball gown that made her body look like it was disjointed. And …

Rihanna stuns X Factor in black lace dress

November 25, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

She got wet, she looked amazing. Rihanna just smashed it on the X Factor in the sexiest Stella McCartney dress – ever. Long, black, sheer lace panels at the sides…just amazing. I’m not all that keen on the Diamonds track, but respect due to Ri-Ri for wearing a British designer on X and putting a …

Ella Henderson goes for Grease in gold dress

November 17, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 3 Comments

Never mind the cool version of You’re The One That I Want from Grease; forget, even, Rylan’s genius “fat gag” directed at Gal (before he pretended to run away on the treadmill); the winner of the X factor 2012 is…Ella Henderson’s gold embellished skater style dress. Love. At. First. Sight. And no surprise to find …

Ella Henderson channels Bardot for Halloween

October 29, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

It’s typical isn’t it; the minute I come out as being a fan of Jade Ellis’ style, she gets booted off the X Factor. Gah. Thankfully, Nicole Scherzinger looked absolutely smoking hot this week in her sexy Halloween get-up – and Ella Henderson dressed to impress in a dramatic, skater style black dress. Ella must …

Jade Ellis: Is she The X Factor’s style queen?

October 25, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 3 Comments

In between Dallas and Made in Chelsea, I have been watching The X Factor, on and off. It still doesn’t excite me, fashion-wise; not like it did in the heyday of Grace “I’m so difficult I will never give you an interview” Woodward and those classic maxi dress battles between Chezza and Dannii, but I …

Jesy Little Mix – and those gold leggings, X Factor final, December 11th

December 12, 2011Written by: Johanna Payton 2 Comments

You know, in the New Year one of my resolutions is going to be “stop talking about branching out into styling and actually do it”. And if I do, I can tell you that my “victims” would never be subjected to the sort of ridiculous styling seen on last night’s X Factor final. If a …

Amelia Lily wears gold sequin maxi dress on X Factor final December 10th – steal the style

December 11, 2011Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

She may be out of the X Factor race, but last night Amelia Lily helped me prove that a gold sequin maxi dress is the absolute must-have for Christmas 2011. Maybe she’s been reading Fashion Detective for style tips? It’s all the rage (pffffft). Amelia’s double front split version of the dress of the moment …

Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack models party range for Apricot

December 7, 2011Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

When she’s not being gossipped about in the tabloids, Caroline Flack is flying the flag for a party must-have – the little red dress (and yes, you can add that to the little white dress and the little sequin dress in this year’s Christmas capsule wardrobe). Ms. Flack (32, in case you hadn’t heard) is …

Time to come out: Marcus Collins is my man for X Factor crown

November 28, 2011Written by: Johanna Payton 4 Comments

Vote for this man. It’s got to that point now in The X Factor when you need to nail your colours to the mast and (for what it’s worth) I’m coming out in full, unabashed support for Marcus Collins. I may not have been bowled over by the fashion this year (apart from Jessie J’s …
