Style winner on X Factor


When it comes to X Factor the biggest loser is style or stage costume. Somehow all semblance of a look goes out of the window. My sport on a Saturday night is just as much about shrieking at the TV and the contestants outfits as it is with agreeing with mainly everything Simon Cowell says (I am slightly worried by this does it mean I'm good or getting long in the tooth!)

And when Simon Cowell comments on how badly dressed someone is, you know it must be bad as this man doesn't have a fashion bone in his body, he doesn't care. Yet in his three X Factor contenders we have the first ever naturally stylish person ever to have been on the X Factor in Jamie Archer (pictured above, image courtesy of Daily Mirror). The likely lad in Olly Murs with his easy modern modish look beloved of the Essex hinterlands. Even Danyl Johnson had been polished into a non descriptive but effortless smart look much improved on his dreadful shorts and dare I say Fat Face default style due to not having a clue. All three exude confidence and polish with Jamie finally making an X Factor finalist a cool creature not a naff wannabe.

So what of poor Stacey Solomon who was possibly put in the worst dress and make up ever. As a stylist I know women have one breast bigger than the other but on Saturday night the whole of the viewing public would have noticed Stacey's larger right breast a bit lopsided in dodgy prom style dress. The girl is a complete dear and without any pretensions so she wouldn't dream of complaining... so on her behalf please get her styling right she needs to wear a good supportive bra. Her garments need to fit and sheath style is far better for her frame than a New Look cut in any length.

  3. Oh, where do I start?... :) I LOVE the boys and I hate to see what the girls are wearing... I noticed it last year (or year before even) and wish I could shoot their stylist because it looks like he/she is on a mission to put the girls into most unflattering outfits ever
    Hope you don't throw any heavy objects into your tv tonight, darling as it's part II and they are very likely to wear something ugly again. :)))

    P.S. I also hate Dannie's outfits... Last night she looked almost naked and all the jewellery was such a mismatch of different pieces. As if she was there just to advertise all the styles at once. And her hair... Brrrrr....

  7. Love this guy he is his own man. I love his style too. Yes I find myself talking Simon before he speaks too! If I haven't I totally agree with him. We are either mega fans and know him inside out or wasted on our day jobs as we have style too :)

  10. I had to google Stacey's performance after reading your post. I agree that the dress was all wrong for her (including the poufy length) but I did prefer the song choice ("At Last") over "The Scientist" (even if the opinionated Simon didn't think it suited her).

  12. I haven't seen the show, but that's too bad that they would put a finalist in an outfit without the right supportive undergarments!

  13. I know absolutely nothing about this show, but it sounds like a true treat! Simon Cowell as a fashion expert... give me a break. Haha!

  14. Completely agree staceys dress was an absolute disaster, since when did a one shoulder prom dress work for a DIVA! Someone also needs to get there hands on Miss Frank, their outfits offended my eyes more than their drowning cat rendetion offended my ears!

  17. Can anyone recommend the best Remote Management tool for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central performance reporting
    ? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
