Big Brother babe finds cheaper alternatives to Posh's new bum-boosting jeans

A few fashion tips from BB's Shell Jubin.



SEVEN: £140

Stockist: House of Fraser , (020 7963 2000)

Celeb wearers:Cat Deeley and Zoe Ball

Shell's verdict: 'These are so flattering. I like the combination of dark material and discreet pocket detail. They have a slight stretch to pull you in at the right places. I can imagine that these will flatter most figures.'

BUM BOOST RATING: 9/10

Black vest, £30, from Religion at Selfridges (0870 837 7377); bracelet, £135, from Clara Francis (020 7681 8626); boots, £99, from Shelly's; all belts from £5 at Beyond Retro (020 76133636).

JAMES: £140

Stockist: Rebecca Beeson (07778 184594)

Celeb wearers: Renee Zellwegerand Jessica Simpson

Shell's verdict: 'My bum looks quite pert in these, but they don't fit as snugly as some of the others. A cosy fit is a must for your bum to look its best.'

BUM BOOST RATING: 7/10

Lime vest, £18, from Lee (0845 600 8383); earrings, approximately £30, by Def Design at the Black Pearl (020 7439 0702). Boots and belt as before.

MISS SIXTY: £75

Stockist: House of Fraser (020 7963 2000)

Celeb wearers: Alicia Keys and Cameron Diaz

Shell's verdict: 'These are the clear winners. The denim is tight, but really comfy and clings in all the right places. I felt a lot slimmer in these and my bum looks shapely and pert. Jennifer Lopez eat your heart out.'

BUM BOOST RATING: 10/10

Tie dye vest £30, by Religion at Selfridges; boots and belt as before.

ROCK & REPUBLIC £162

Celeb wearers: Victoria Beckham

Shell's verdict: 'You can't get your hands on the limited edition jeans designed by Victoria Beckham, but this similar pair are very flattering and really seem to lift your bum.

The pockets sit in the ideal place to make your bottom as small as possible.'

BUM BOOST RATING: 8/10 White vest, £18, from Lee (0845 600 8383); bracelet, £100, from Clara Francis (020 7681 8626).

Stockist: 020 7734 2039

YANUK: £135

Stockist: Selfridges (08708 377377)

Celeb wearers: Beyonce and Natasha Bedingfield

Shell's verdict: 'I didn't like these at all. The waist is too high so they make your bum go on for miles. The leg is quite loose and baggy which doesn't give a flattering silhouette. I'd never wear these.'

BUM BOOST RATING: 4/10Lilac top, £25, from Rebecca Beeson (07778 184594); boots and belt as before.

LEE: £60

Stockist: 0845 600 8383

Celeb wearers: Keira Knightley and Fearne Cotton

Shell's verdict: 'The tapered leg won't suit all figures, but the large pockets do help to disguise a large bum. Also, I like their retro look. They're more rock 'n' roll than the others. But as for bum lifting, it's minimal.'

BUM BOOST RATING: 6/10

Blue vest, £8, from Top Shop (0800 7318284); boots and belt as before.
