Five Minutes of Fashion with Jade Ewen


Five Minutes of Fashion with Jade Ewen


The newest Sugababe Jade Ewen faced a lot of pressure to step into Keisha Bucchanon’s stilletoes when she joined the girl group last year but she never fails to look stylish.

The former Eurovision song competition contestant has some of the coolest party dresses in pop and always pushes boundaries with silk, lace, ruffles and bows – sometimes all at the same time like when she wore this gorgeous dress to the Virgin pre-Wimbledon party.




We grabbed her away from her bandmates Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah to learn more about how she dresses to impress and find out how she has blossomed since she burst onto the music scene as Britain’s Eurovision contestant in 2009.

Qs: How’s the Sugababes’ fashion different to what you wore when you represented Britain in the Eurovision song contest?

“Amanda Wakeley designed my dress, because we wanted a British designer. It was so elegant with amazing attention to detail. It was beautiful and classy. Andrew Lloyd Webber was accompanying me on piano, so if he does I can’t be stood there in a crazy outfit.

“Now I wear less clothes, sometimes practically nothing!”

QS: How do you feel about the Sugababes raunchy outfits?

“I’m happy to get skimpy for my music. Fashion is what gets your music noticed – just look at Lady Gaga.”

QS: How do you decide what to wear?

“We have a fantastic stylist, who normally tells us what look to go for and gives us advice. Sometimes you don’t want to listen but you always know she’s right – she’s the professional. She’s encouraged me to try things I wouldn’t normally have worn like cropped jackets with shorts or leggings.”

QS: Have you ever regretted anything?

“I wore a tight white catsuit to Rihanna’s afterparty at Merah nightclub and I got slated for it. But I am happy if I get it right 90% of the time – there’s always something that is less than perfect.

QS: Do you still shop on the high street?

“Yes! I love Lipsy and I also like Rare dresses. No matter how big the Sugababes get, I’ll always remember my roots. I don’t come from a rich family so designer was not an option when I was growing up.”

QS: Is there a lucky guy?

“Yes. I am dating Ricky Norwood, who plays Fatboy in Eastenders. The day I found out I was in The Sugababes, he found out he was in Eastenders. We grew up together in East London and I have known him for years so it felt very natural when we got together.”

And talking of naturals, it’s all about the naturals and nudes in terms of dress colours this summer.

Glow like Jade in a Love Label peplum dress

Or add some ruffles with a Love Label zip front dress

For something more conservative but still in this season’s on trend beige try Fearne Cotton lace sleeve tunic

If we were Keisha, we’d be very jealous indeed.

Sugababes Start Recording New Album

Following the epic flop that was their not-so ‘Sweet 7′ LP, what’s left of the Sugababes announced this week that they are recording the album’s follow-up. More after the jump…

Longest serving member Heidi Range lifted the lid on the commencement of recording earlier this week:

“We’re only three days into recording our new album, so it’s early days. We’re not sure about any collaboration yet and we don’t even know when it’s going to be released.”

With Amelle Berrabah, adding:

“We’re keeping to our Sugababes sound but we’re also hoping to try new things too.” {Source}

Reliable word has it that the ladies are clocking in studio time with a number of the producers behind their biggest selling albums such as ‘Three’ and ‘Change’.

Sugababes' Amelle Berrabah

Sugababes' Amelle Berrabah showcases her washboard stomach in slashed crop top

By Mail Online Reporter
Last updated at 1:27 AM on 26th June 2010


With a washboard stomach like that, it's no wonder Amelle Berrabah's a fan of the fashion for crop tops.

The 26-year-old singer was spotted leaving the May Fair hotel in central London in a slashed T-shirt and leggings after working up a sweat in the 5-star venue's gym.

And she was more than happy to pose for the waiting paparazzi in her sweaty kit before being whisked away in a Mercedes convertible.

Have you got my best side? Sugababes singer Amelle Berrabah smiles for the cameras as she leaves the May Fair Hotel in central London in her gym kit

Her ease with the cameras could be down to a new-found confidence in her body - thanks, in part, to her passion for Bikram Yoga.

Amelle told Closer magazine: 'It's yoga but in a heated room like a sauna. You sweat like mad and toxins pour out of you. I swear by it and I think I'm looking pretty good.'

It's good to hear her happy with herself at last.

Less than a year ago she described herself as looking like an 'anorexic rat' after she became so dangerously underweight that her doctor prescribed her a diet of high-calorie food to be eaten every two hours.

Amelle was also flying the flag for England ahead of Sunday's match against Germany with a Union Jack bag.

But she kept things glam with a cream Chanel handbag in her other hand.

Taking it easy: After all that hard work at the gym, Amelle was happy to be driven home

Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity F1 Party, V&A Museum, London, Wednesday, 17 June 2009

Fancy slipping into the cockpit of your very own Formula One car? Fancy treating your child to best work experience they could want - a week working for the Mercedes GP Petronas F1 Team? Or would you prefer to have a limited edition Gold & Tantalum Hublot Aerobang watch on your wrist? You don’t have to be a guest at the exclusive F1 Party, you can bid for auction lots by email or over the phone now.

Alternatively, pack your bags for a fortnight’s holiday on exclusive Necker Island; enjoy the ultimate British Grand Prix experience courtesy of Santander; sing in front of the X Factor judges; or take possession of a signed Fernando Alonso racing suit.

These are just some of the ‘once in a lifetime’ auction lots available at this year’s official F1™ Party. Held annually in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, the event is an integral part of the build-up to next month’s 2010 FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX. This year’s party will take place on July 5 in the Natural History Museum in London.

The party is held with the kind permission of Bernie Ecclestone, CEO of the Formula One Group, and Santander, title sponsor of the British Grand Prix, are generously sponsoring the event for a fourth year running. Since 2005 the partnership between Formula One racing and the hospital’s charity has raised nearly £1.5 million towards its new and much needed Heart and Lung Centre.

Last year’s event added £450,000 to the Centre’s funds, which is scheduled for completion in 2012. Great Ormond Street Hospital’s Cardiac team is among the best in the world, caring for more than 7,000 children with complex heart and lung conditions every year.

“We have brought together the Formula One community to forge a unique partnership with Great Ormond Street Hospital, which has developed over many years now,” explained Ecclestone. His daughter, Tamara, is the party’s creative director and has helped to plan and oversee the event from the early stages.

Chart-topping pop act the Sugababes will perform at the party, alongside DJ Henry Holland, whilst TV presenters - and hospital patrons - Tess Daly and Vernon Kay will host the evening. However, the main focus for guests will of course be the charity auction, which will see a whole host of glamorous and exclusive lots up for grabs.

Arguably the most exciting item on offer is a 2006 BMW Sauber Formula One car. Driven by Nick Heidfeld to ninth in the drivers’ championship, the F1.06 has been generously donated by current BMW Sauber team principal Peter Sauber. Heidfeld racked up a total of 9,044 kilometres behind the wheel of the car and finished seventh at the British, Canadian and Chinese Grands Prix.

To bid for any of the items listed below please email laura.herrod@gosh.org or telephone (+44) 020 7239 3058. Tickets for the Party still available at a cost of £300 each. For further details about the party and to purchase tickets, click here.

Stars Decline Katie Price/Jordan's Wedding Invitation!

Stars Decline Katie Price/Jordan's Wedding Invitation!




Former glamour model Katie Price a.k.a. Jordan is upset about the fact that stars have not responded positively to her wedding invitation with Alex Reid, much in contrast to her former marriage with Peter Andre.


Jordon has also refused a lucrative offer from a down market magazine as there may not be enough celeb guests to show up for the function.


She is even pushed to the situation of paying the guests to attend the wedding.

“This is Katie’s worst nightmare. It’s hugely embarrassing for her,” a friend of the couple revealed.

According to the reports of 'News Of The World', her bridesmaid Michelle Heaton, model Danielle Lloyd and glamour model Emma B have accepted the invitation and who will be making their presence at the wedding that is to take place on July 3.


“She''s thinking about booking Sugababes or The Saturdays to perform. It will help because they''ll count as well known guests,” a friend said.

“Her wedding to Peter was a real star-studded bash, but it''s the opposite this time,” the friend added.

PLEASE PLEASE DONT DO IT SUGABABES !!!!!!

Jade Ewen "Nobody Recognises Me"

Jade Ewen says she is less recognised than her boyfriend.

The Sugababes singer is dating Ricky Norwood - who is known for his role as Fatboy in BBC soap EastEnders - and Jade admits that while fans stop him in the street, they have no idea who she is.

"My hair's usually curly, so nobody recognises who I am," Ewen told the News of The World. "I've had people say to me, 'Would you mind taking a picture of me with that boy please?'"

Sugababes Not Threatened By Keisha




Girl group Sugababes believe that their new album will not be in competition with former member Keisha Buchanan's solo work.
Sugababes insist Keisha Buchanan's solo work is no "competition" to them.
The group - Jade Ewen, Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah - have recently started working on their new album and though their former bandmate is also in the studio recording her debut LP, the `Get Sexy' hitmakers insist there is no rivalry.
Jade - who replaced Keisha in the band last September - said: "Keisha is a solo artist and we're a group so we're not in competition with each other at all. That would be ridiculous - I've never even met her."
The girls - whose last record, 'Sweet 7' failed to make it into the top 10 in the UK charts- are excited about working on their next release but are still unsure how it will sound.
Speaking at the WTA Pre-Wimbledon Party at The Roof Gardens in Kensington, Heidi told BANG Showbiz: "We're only three days into recording our new album, so it's early days. We're not sure about any collaboration yet and we don't even know when it's going to be released."
Amelle- who replaced founded member Mutya Buena in 2005 - added: "We're keeping to our Sugababes sound but we're also hoping to try new things too."

Sugababes
Sugababes newcomer Jade Ewen has claimed that the band is not in competition with former member Keisha Buchanan.

The girl group are currently recording songs for the follow-up to their last album Sweet 7, while Buchanan is also busy in the studio working on her debut solo disc.

However, speaking to Bang Showbiz, Ewen insisted: "Keisha is a solo artist and we're a group so we're not in competition with each other at all. That would be ridiculous - I've never even met her."

Meanwhile, Ewen's bandmate Amelle Berrabah hinted that the next Sugababes LP will see a mix of the old and the new.

She said: "We're keeping to our Sugababes sound but we're also hoping to try new things too."

Buchanan was ousted from Sugababes last September after 11 years in the band. Ewen was recruited as her replacement.

The Sugababes are thought to be working on a new album after a producer revealed that he is collaborating with the band on new material.

The group, who were recently caught up in a legal battle over ownership of their name, are working with producer Boxsta, who previously contributed to their fifth studio album Change.

Writing on his Twitter account, he said: "Recording and writing with Sugababes @ Metrophonic studios in surrey. Recorded drums and guitars as well…cool stuff !(sic)"

Boxsta has also worked with Trinity Stone, a three-piece girlband that featured Sugababes' newest member Jade Ewen.

The Sugababes released their latest LP Sweet 7 earlier this year. It peaked at number 14 on the UK album chart.

Sugababes at Universal Music Party

Whiter shade of pale: Nicola Roberts and Duffy display their ghostly complexions

By Charlotte Spratt
Last updated at 12:25 PM on 16th June 2010

She has shunned the fake tan look of Girls Aloud and instead been flaunting her new-found love of porcelain skin.

But it seems Nicola Roberts has a rival for the title of palest girl in town - Duffy

The pair were at the Universal Music party in London last night and, wearing a white lace babydoll dress, the Welsh songstress seemed to have the edge.

With her ash blonde hair, Duffy, 25, blended into her all-white outfit at the Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge, accessorising with a white clutch and nude Christian Louboutin heels.

Only her soft pink lipstick and smoky eyes gave her an edge of colour.

In contrast, Nicola Roberts, 24, looked like she had gone for every colour under the sun in a pink, orange and green floral minidress with a colourful oversize clutch and matching shoes.

She even had a pink rinse colour in her naturally red hair.

The Girls Aloud singer has spoken out about the dangers of tanning and decide to stop using fake tan and embrace her porcelain complexion.

She has produced a make-up range for pale skin named Dainty Doll, which now sells to English rose complexions across the country after launching it on the TV show The Passions Of Girls Aloud.

And it seems Duffy is following in her footsteps of being proud of her naturally fair skin.

Sir Bob Geldof shunned his normally scruffy attire for a rather ill-fitting suit, while Gabriella Cilmi toughened up her pretty blue dress with leather accessories

Their pale and interesting look contrasted with the tanned look of other celebrities at the party including Amy Winehouse and Nicola's bandmate Kimberley Walsh.

The singer, who is appearing in a documentary about jeans, wore a sequinned minidress and opaque tights.

Amy Winehouse, 26, spilled out of her print dress but looked remarkably sober as she left with film director Reg Traviss.

Other celebrities in attendance included Gary Barlow and his wife Dawn, Sir Bob Geldof, Gabriella Cilmi, the Sugababes, Ronan Keating, and EastEnders star Preeya Kalidas.

Sugababes at Pre Wimbledom Party

Sugababes star Heidi Range has a Marilyn Monroe moment as wind lifts up her dress at pre-Wimbledon party

By Sarah Bull
Last updated at 11:25 PM on 17th June 2010

It's a scenario most women are familiar with - you wear a pretty dress to a party, but are caught out when the wind blows and lifts up your skirt.

But the incident must be even more embarrassing if you are one third of one of Britain's hottest girl groups, and posing on the red carpet in front of hundreds of photographers.

That's exactly what happened to Sugababes star Heidi Range tonight as she attended the pre-Wimbledon party at the Kensington Roof Gardens.

Whoops! Sugababes star Heidi Range grabs hold of her skirt as a huge gust of wind blows it up outside the Kensington Roof Gardens. She posed with fellow Subabes Jade Ewen (left) and Amelle Berrabah

Hold on tight: Heidi blushes and giggles as she keeps a firm grip on the pretty pink dress

Wearing a pretty pale pink dress with silver embellishments and matching nude heels, Heidi was caught out by a sudden gust of wind which caused her to quickly hold the dress today to prevent any embarrassment.

The situation was reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe's scene in The Seven Year Itch, where her white dress is blown up when she stands over a grate in the ground.

Blushing and giggling, the 27-year-old singer saw the funny side of the situation as she posed with fellow Sugababes stars Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen.

But thanks to their tight-fitting dresses, neither Amelle nor Jade were affected by the wind.

While Jade co-ordinated with Heidi in a similarly-coloured strapless dress, Amelle went for her trademark black in a strapless bustier dress which she teamed with a pair of red sparkly heels.

Other stars to attend the event included tennis sisters Venus and Serena Williams, who contrasted in black and white dresses, and fellow player Maria Sharapova, who sparkled in a bronze sequinned number.

Gavin Henson, who showed no sign of any strain following his split from Charlotte Church last month, looked tanned and happy in a purple shirt, jeans and his favourite blue jacket.

Comedian Russell Brand arrived with presenter Jonathan Ross in Ross's Morgan 4x4 vehicle, which was decorated with England flags ahead of the England vs. Algeria match tomorrow.

The pair, who caused controversy when they famously left rude voicemails for Fawlty Towers star Andrew Sachs, have reunited ahead of Brand's reported appearance on Ross's final Friday Night With Jonathan Ross show.

The party comes ahead of the start of the 2010 Wimbledon tennis tournament on Monday.

Venus, 30, who has won the championship five times, and has reached eight of the 10 finals she has played in, said she is looking forward to playing in the championship.

She said: 'Playing on grass is, you know, one of my favorite things to do.

'I think it's definitely a lot easier to play at a tournament where I've been so successful. Obviously, Wimbledon is one of them.'

But one of Venus's main competitors will be her sister Serena, who has won Wimbledon three times and is currently the number one ranking tennis player in the world.

Serena said recently: 'It's amazing. We work really hard, Venus works even harder than I do.

'We really fight and do the best we can to be the best that we can be. That's what we play for and we both want to be number one.'

Holly Branson, the daughter of Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson, also attended the event looking pretty in a strapless floral dress while Ultimo mogul Michelle Mone went for drama in a vibrant keyhole number.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard's ex-fiancée Elen Rivas went for the medieval look in a long sleeved, full-length pink dress, with her hair teased into tumbling curls.

Amelle's slasher role: Berrabah proudly puts her thighs on display in a revealing dress with a sheer panel

By Mail Online Reporter
Last updated at 11:52 AM on 10th June 2010
She's faced some rather unpleasant comments on her shapely figure, but Amelle Berrabah appears to have grown to love her body.
Judging on her choice of outfit she wore at the Graduate Fashion Week Gala Show, held at Earl's Court, she has no qualms about showing off her curves.
Amelle, 26, made an appearance at the show wearing a snug-fitting LBD with a cutout sheer panel on the skirt which showed off her thighs - covering up with an unusual cropped orange zip-up jacket with puffed up short sleeves.

She completed the outfit with a pair of gold studded peep toe heels and a smart black handbag.
The dress could be considered to be an unusual choice for the pop singer, because of the cruel jibes about her weight she has faced from some observers.
When she first joined the Sugababes in 2005 Amelle quickly attained a slim physique, but, since her split with ex-boyfriend Freddie Fuller she has regained her weight leading to criticism from some parties.
Last year the 26-year-old said she looked like an 'anorexic rat' as she was so dangerously underweight that her doctor prescribed her a diet of highly calorific food every two to three hours.
She was forced to go on a high-calorie diet after becoming dangerously underweight.
Her weight plummeted to a size zero last year after a series of traumatic events including an attack on her former boyfriend and their subsequent split, plus the departure of fellow Sugababe Keisha Buchanan.
Writing on her Twitter micro-blogging page earlier this year she said: 'Dunno if anyone has read a magazine saying that I've had a boob job. No, I bl**dy haven't. One word - chicken fillets and some weight gain.'
Other guests at the student fashion show included Rachel Stevens who looked fantastic in a sequin-covered mini dress, covering her top half with a black shawl.
While Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts wore a slim-fitted, floor-length number covered with an intricate gold leaf design carrying a mini quilted Chanel bag.

Rebecca Thomson of Manchester Metropolitan University eventually took home the Gold Award prize for best student collection at the show.
Italian designer Alberta Ferretti presented the £20,000 award to 22-year old Thomson.
