Helen glams it up for Christmas
Take inspiration from Big Brother star Helen Adams this Yuletide and ditch your little black dress for something with a bit of sparkle.
What’s been your best fashion moment?
It would have to be coming out of the Big Brother house in my favourite turquoise dress. Paul Waite designed the dress especially for me and it’s completely gorgeous.
Has your style changed since becoming famous?
Yes, loads. Because I’m not working in the hairdressers any more I don’t have to wear smart skirts every day and can wear what I want instead. I live in jeans now, with sparkle and glitter on them. I always wear glitter.
Surely you can’t always wear glitter?
Always. If my outfit is plain, I’ll take along my silver Puma bag with diamante stones on or wear a crystal-encrusted cuff to glam it up.
When did your obsession with glitter start?
It started during my dancing days. I’ve been a dancer since the age of three, doing everything from ballet and tap to disco. The costumes were really glittery and fab and I’ve always loved that. Now I always wear a bit of glitter and don’t feel dressed without it.
What would be your dream outfit?
A dress covered completely in rhinestones with matching jewellery and shoes. Kylie looked really trendy in hers and I think she always looks the part.
Do you prefer high-street or designer clothes?
I shop on the high-street mostly. I like Miss Sixty for Jeans, Jane Norman for dresses, Gap, Kookai and Topshop. I love shopping – I even drag my boyfriend Paul round the shops with me.
What does Paul think of your glitzy style?
He loves it! He likes all of my dresses and says that my jeans are really trendy. But he also like me in combats and casual stuff.
What’s the most expensive thing in your wardrobe?
The Gucci shoes and handbag that Paul gave me when I left the house. I love them because they go with everything and they’re my favourite thing ever.
Have you got a fashion tip to share with Now readers?
Always wear sparkly accessories because they finish off a look perfectly. And wear matching shoes and handbags when you can – my Gucci accessories look good with anything. Glitzy bracelets and chokers will also glam up your wardrobe.
