X Factor Style

On Sunday's results show, despite her elimination in the public vote, Katie was wearing a beautiful feminine dress. The dress was effective because it complimented her skin tone and hair, and let her hair speak for itself without emphasising it too much. The simple design of the heels matched the dress nicely. If you're going for Katie's look and your legs are a little shorter (that girl is tall!) then I would recommend wearing a shoe without the ankle strap, as it tends to shorten the leg.

Cheryl's dress was even more stunning, a Gianfranco Ferre design, with a low neck, but as far as I can tell, a mesh triangle lining across the bust. Perhaps not to preserve modesty, but no doubt it would make one feel more secure and less afraid of falling out the dress. This dress would look good on someone with big curves like Kim Kardashian. Cheryl is a bit more petite, and for proportion I would have worn a padded/supporting bra to balance out her hips, since I think the dress does nothing to slim them down.

If you want to go for Katie's look, you can buy her dress from Miss Selfridge here at a reasonable price tag (£85). I think this dress would suit a summer wedding (as long as it was warm!) and would suit both blondes and brunetters (with redheads, it depends on your skin tone).
