MGHQ, HOT VS NOT… X

This week we’re giving you the MGHQ scoop on what we’re thinking is hot and not…

  • The swing dress – this 60s inspired number has come back with a vengeance and we’re loving it! This is perfect for every height and every shape. What’s everyone waiting for?! Swing it!
  • Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham on the red carpet – it was all eyes on this smoking hot couple at Jason’s recent premiere for Hummingbird. Despite being the star of the show, we think the limelight was stolen from Statham a little bit by his other half as the model posed in her mini dress…
  • Dungarees done well – this week saw Rihanna rocking it when she stepped out in a pair of dungarees
  • Kelly Brook in a bikini– not only is she looking smoking in her swimwear showcasing her hour glass figure, she genuinely looks hot on those sandy beaches of Mexico. We’re not jealous or anything, not at all…
  • Boris Johnson’s tennis attire – Love him or hate him, you cannot knock Boris for the comedic factor he brings to the big smoke’s politics. Saying that, we can knock him for his choice of tennis attire this past weekend… While white is the new black this season, we don’t think Boris quite managed to pull it off. The match was for charity though, so good sport Boris!
  • Jedward on the red carpet – the 21 year old duo made an appearance recently in Toronto, and at 24 years Statham’s junior, it’s safe to say he wiped the floor with them! The pair were sporting coordinating white tuxedos, which we’re not too sure they pulled off… Nice try though!
  • Dungarees done badly – there’s nothing worse than seeing this 90s throw back gone wrong. Take note and try to avoid looking like you’ve just been knocked back from being an extra on Saved By The Bell!
  • Zayn Malik’s swimwear – we’re not feeling the board shorts (not far off being ankle-grazers) Zayn was spotted recently whilst sunning on a yacht in Miami with his band mates… Only because we’re wishing he’d get his pins out for us!

Splash this print across your Summer bikini, playful playsuit or even go bold with a statement blazer.

STYLE ICON OF THE MOMENT – CAROLINE DE MAIGRET

Parisian beauty Caroline was scouted in 1994 and immediately was thrown into the limelight working with some of fashions hottest photographers such as Mario Testino, Peter Lindbergh and Terry Richardson. She made her mark in the high fashion world soon after, by walking in the shows of top fashion houses Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs and Chanel ( even being considered the Chanel muse ), making waves with her original fresh and natural look.

Now she has launched her own rock music label alongside her partner, and is known as a top street-style heavy-hitter due to her effortlessly cool, oversized, slightly androgynous look. Manipulating shirts, jackets, tailoring and layers to give a chilled, ‘I just threw this together’ vibe. It is little wonder that in the last few months alone, despite her 30 something years, she has already appeared in 3 issues of Vogue and i- D magazine and continues to work with designers such as Alexander Wang and, close friend, Karl Lagerfeld.

ONES TO WATCH: TANYA LACEY…X


Describe your style in 5 words?

Bold. Individual. Colourful. Sexy. Random

Who are your style icons?

Early Madonna, Gwen Steffani, Early TLC – I love to fuse different styles

Describe your sound in 5 words?

I make soulful pop music..5 words.

How did you get into the music industry, and what would be your advice to anyone looking to pursue a career in music? 

I dropped out of college and joined a band, I started writing and performing with the band straight away. After leaving the band I worked with local producers and musicians performing on the Bristol underground scene whilst still making music in the studio. I made sure I was in the studio as often as possible, whether it was down time or starting a session at 2 a.m – the more you work on your craft the more you develop. Figuring out your own style/sound takes tome to focus on you and what you’re about, have patience, conviction and write about what you know..have fun! Life is way too short!! 
 
What’s been the best thing about 2013 so far?

I had my first headline show – which sold out, that was an amazing feeling.
 
What are you most excited about for 2013?

Creating more music/collabs (finishing my album) and doing more shows.
 

Tanya’s new single ‘Now That You’re Gone’ is out now!
