WHAT'S WITH... FEATHERS

 

TV STYLIST HANNAH SANDLING ON THE CELEBS' LATEST FLIGHT OF FANCY

Ostrich, peacock, parrot or swan, plumage is hot on the red carpet right now. Celebs and models are all of a flutter for the feathered trend. I’ve spotted bird-inspired shoes, dresses and accessories on the pluckiest stars.

 

How to wear them
* A demure fringe best suits this look as Renée and Jaime demonstrate. But why not dress up a plainer outfit with a feathered fascinator or handbag, or feather-inspired print?

 

How not to wear them
* Kelly Rowland shows she has a lot of neck to wear this grey feathered minidress, but I can’t help thinking it looks like she’s had a swan surgically implanted. So take heed – when it comes to feathers, less is definitely more.
