Millie Mackintosh wore a Alice Temperley vintage dress for her wedding to Professor Green on Tuesday, which took place at Babington House in Bath. The top half of her dress was made of fitted lace, with a delicate appearance whilst the bottom half of it was very loose flowing and romantic.The way that the top half of the dress was very sheer and had a scoop neckline reminded me of early 19th century style dresses from Jane Austen's time (see below). 

Also the very vertical form of the dress echoes the straight-up-straight-down shapes of that century. It seems that Millie's dress was inspired by this period, but updated with lace detailing and a peplum style train. Her hair also bore a striking resemblance to the hairstyles of the early 19th century as she imitated the delicate braiding and intricate, feminine hair accessories of the time (as modeled by Keira Knightly in the 2005 film re-make of Pride and Prejudice).

Overall Millie seems to have taken inspiration from the fashions of the early 19th century and put a very modern and polished spin on it, taking it into the 21st century. 

What do you think of Millie's wedding dress? Did you expect her to wear a more traditional strapless style?

Kourtney Kardashian has been showcasing her daring yet impeccable style recently. She wore a bejewelled looking dress and pink pointed heels to promote the Kardashian Khaos range at The Mirage in Las Vegas, last Saturday. Kourtney kept her accessories simple, only wearing a gold watch, bracelet and earrings, in order to draw attention to the bold dress.

On Saturday night Kourtney wore a figure hugging black jumpsuit to party with her girlfriends, when she hosted the Labor Day bash at Hyde nightclub in Las Vegas. She completed the look with smokey eyes and voluminous wavy hair. Who can blame her for pulling out all the stops after the recent troubles her family are facing?

Melissa Forde, Rihanna’s BFF aka bosom buddy is best known as her sidekick. She describes herself as Rihanna's assistant on her official Facebook and is also a photographer. Melissa is often papped alongside her best friend, as her PPP – perfect party pal. RiRi constantly tweets to her BFF making sure that the world knows who her companion is. One of her latest tweets featuring Forde states ‘me and my main’ accompanied by a photo of the two. Forde is the equivalent of a backing dancer, she follows Rihanna on tour, assists her and experiences the buzz of it without being centre stage.

The two ladies also mirror each others style like six year old twins. From rocking black leather to short shorts and floral fashion, their styles could not be more in sync.

If you follow RiRi on Instagram you will see that Forde pops up in many of her photos, from attending Paris Couture Week to partying with Cara Delevingne, she is there immersed in the crazy world of RiRi. So if you have to be someone be Melissa Forde. She gets to live the pop star lifestyle, without being the star. Therefore she gets all the perks of fame without the same amount of media attention that her famous best friend gets.
