5 People That Inspired Beyoncé's Fringe

Beyoncé really doesn't seem to run out of steam when it comes to seeking attention, so what better way to (attempt) to rejuvenate her look, than cut her fringe in the ugliest way possible? Of course, to her it's chic, but last week the internet exploded with hilarious banter over what her fringe resembled. You couldn't pay me to look like that. 

Could this be the first time Bey has made a fashion faux pas, and who inspired her?




5 People That Inspired Beyoncé's Fringe



Lloyd Christmas of Dumb and Dumber

Perhaps Beyoncé is a huge fan of Dumb and Dumber? With a song about a limo (Partition) I wouldn't be surprised.Taking style cues from none other than Lloyd Christmas is probably a bad idea, although finishing off the look, I recommend a chipped tooth. 





Dave Hill of Slade
Although I doubt whether Queen Bey has ever been to Wolverhampton, she must know the Christmas classic 'Merry Xmas Everybody' by none other than Slade? The gorgeous Dave Hill models his rather dainty fringe here which i'm positive Mrs Carter took inspo from. 





Dougal of The Magic Roundabout 
In an attempt to involve Blue Ivy in her life of endless style, she opted to copy the genius design of classic children's television show The Magic Roundabout. Dougal might technically be a person, but he is super cute isn't he?





Yolandi Visser 
In her attempt to grow more edgy, she might have tried (and failed) to emulate rave-rap weirdo Yolandi Visser of Die Antwoord. God she scares me. 




This cat...
Okay so her fringe looks nothing like this, but I love this image.

Best and Worst Dressed at Coachella 2014: Weekend Two

The second weekend of arguably the most star-studded festival of the year kicked off on Friday as celebs and mere mortals alike flocked to the Californian music celebration. 

Best Dressed

Beyoncé 

Forever the fashionista, Beyoncé posted a number of fun-filled images on her social media accounts during the easter weekend, including multiple with husband Jay- Z at Coachella. The star looked gorgeous in an Egyptian themed tee, chunky chain necklace, white hot pants and heeled ankle boots. Finishing off her look with fiery rouge and a messy bun made a perfect accompaniment to a flawless festival look. Take notes ladies...



Vanessa Hudgens (and Austin Butler) 

I'm pretty sure my love for Vanessa Hudgens is on a wildly creepy level, she is the Queen of boho for sure. I always get excited about her outfits and this was one of my favourites of the week. Fringed pieces are hard to pull off but Hudgens combined a sleeveless cardigan with a pencil skirt, adding colour through the intricate beading of her bralet. Her gypsy-style jewellery, bindis and oversized round sunglasses gave her a quirky edge and she showed her adventurous side by applying pink hair chalk, perfect. Boyfriend Austin Butler added the swoon factor with a messy ponytail, skinny jeans, Converse and a plaid skirt. BE MY BOYFRIEND!



Lana Del Ray
Many seem to be scared of colour, but I totally admired Lana Del Ray for this fabulous dress. Risqué but bursting with substance, the floral V-neck mini complimented her fair complexion and looked super comfy too. 



Kylie Jenner
This girl can do no wrong. Teaming up the classic festival accompaniments- a bum bag, sleeveless printed tee and shorts, she included extensively detailed jewellery and some killer brown knee high boots. I'm in love. 


Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner defines the word cute, and I admire her ability to adopt themes to her clothing. Her first outfit encapsulated boho chic with this white gypsy-esque crop top with elasticated trim and black and white patterned trousers with a slight flair for a 70's look. 


Is that you, Pocahontas? Kendall looks uber adorable with her plaits that accompany her moss green-holed tank, scored white hot pants and neckerchief. Fab!





Willow Smith
She might only be 13, but boy does this lady know how to dress. Losing those awful plaits, there was no whipping to be seen as Willow donned a 90's style fluorescent halter neck and stonewashed jeans with some jazzy eye-popping socks. Vintage! 



Solange Knowles
Comfort knows no bounds with this outfit. Solange radiates in this mustard yellow two-piece with gold sandals, perfectly contrasted to her mint green pastel nails. Ethereal or what?





Worst Dressed

Kelly Brook 
Caught taking a selfie, Kelly Brook made several fashion boo boos at Coachella this weekend. Her animal print dress was one of them, as the elasticated elements to the bottom of the piece would flatter no-one. Stealing Indiana Jones' hat, and combining them with tasselled shoes made for a disaster, and who ties a leather jacket around their waist?!


Bella Thorne

Although I dislike what her friend (on the right) is wearing more, I wasn't too keen on Bella Thorne's outfit. Ill-fitting with super ugly sandals, I think the top would have looked better with some leggings or jeans. 


Victoria Justice
Victoria Justice has to be one of the most plain-looking of the Coachella bunch, her nude boots seem redundant and although her intricate necklace is nice, her generic shorts and plain black top leave me a bit underwhelmed. 


Millie Mackintosh (and Professor Green) 
Sticking out like a sore thumb, and indeed making my eyes sore in the process, are newly weds Professor Green and his Made in Chelsea wife Millie Mackintosh. Taking her fashion from last year's Coachella, she donned an outdated floral headband and played it way too safe with nudes and pastels. Can you hear me snoring from here?

Beyoncé: A Year in Fashion

For Queen Bey, this year has been massive. From the release of her documentary to her Mrs Carter tour to the surprise release of her self-titled album, the icon achieved a lot in 2013. As well as her musical talents, the star wore a number of pieces we lusted after on and off the red carpet, let's take a look back at her best dressed moments. 


Emilio Pucci for the Inauguration 
The Single Ladies star might have been miming during her performance at Barack Obama's Inauguration at the beginning of this year, but boy did she look fabulous throughout. Donning an Emilio Pucci floor length gown with subtle baroque detail, she finished off her look with elaborate curls, dazzling emerald green accessories and a cosy black fur coat.  


 Life is But a Dream Premiere

In February Beyoncé dazzled at the premiere of her HBO documentary Life Is But A Dream. Wearing Elie Saab, the semi- sheer piece contained intricate embellishments and the figure-hugging dress accentuated her killer hips. 




H&M campaign

Back in the spring Knowles sent tongues wagging when she was named as the face of high street retailer H&M's summer line, with a number of gorgeous and affordable bikinis and billowing dresses. It's fair to say we lusted after the lot of them!




Givenchy at the Met Gala

This year's Met Gala had a striking punk theme and the Grown Woman singer appropriately wore a fiery Givenchy number for the evening. With a progressive paisley fire trim flowing through the outfit and a snakeskin corset top she oozed diva, finishing off the piece with matching gloves and knee-high boots. 



Kenzo for the Mrs Carter Tour
With any show-stopping tour, the outfits have to wow and the star showed her wild side in this flattering turquoise and burnt orange leopard print playsuit. 




Topshop Playsuit 
Although Beyoncé favoured Gucci as her designer this year, she was also a big fan of Topshop. She stepped out in a fabulous banana leaf tee with matching shorts whilst in Houston with husband Jay Z. A popular piece that has also been seen on the likes of J Lo, it definitely had a super tropical feel. 


Gucci Paisley Outfit
At the end of this year, sporting a new bob and just before releasing her self-titled album, Beyoncé received mixed reviews for her paisley print Gucci playsuit but I loved it. Bursting with vibrancy and being taken in at the ankles made the piece extremely flattering and the high neck was both sophisticated and conservative. 




Burberry Prorsum for new music video
Hailed as one of the most in-demand catwalk collections of this season, Burberry Prorsum's A/W collection contained an array of beautiful animal print and deep red shades. For a new music video the star shot recently she was seen in an ox blood trench coat with skinny metal belt complete with dark rouge lips and metallic stilettos. 



Tom Ford at Album release party
Possibly my favourite of her outfits to date was the Tom Ford creation she wore for her album launch party. The figure-hugging bodycon dress had an intricate black mosaic print with stunning knee length boots to match, finished off with subtle peep-toes.
