'Anyone in need of a human feather duster?' Tali Lennox looks pristine as she leaves Royal Academy Exhibition in ostrich dress


It may not have been the ideal outfit for a hot Spring day but Tali Lennox still managed to look good in feathers.
The 19-year-old model appeared fresh-faced and pristine as she emerged from the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition VIP View.
Wearing a short cream ostrich feathered dress which featured an enormous collar, the brunette looked just as good as she had a few hours earlier when she posed on the red carpet.

As she made her way to her waiting vehicle wearing a pair of white heels, Tali smiled for the cameras and even used the opportunity to show off her catwalk strut.
The teenager had even poked fun at her choice of attire earlier on in the day by posting a photo of her wearing the dress on Twitter with the caption: 'Anyone in need of a human feather duster?'

Tali - who is the daughter of singer Annie Lennox - also carried an unusual silver and gold clutch bag while ensuring her lipgloss was perfectly in place.

Another star who left the event looking just as good as when she had arrived was Donna Air.
The 32-year-old presenter wore a floaty hot pink dress with a pair of stand-out designer shoes.
The Prada heels featured silver straps with red lips and cigarettes and retail at almost £600.

Alexa Chung left the building with a huge grin on her face too.
The TV presenter had arrived wearing a black and white shift dress that looked like it had come straight from the Sixties.
She also managed to keep her outfit in tact and teamed it with black heels and a flamingo-print clutch bag.
Model Jerry Hall failed to pre-order her ride home and was spotted standing in the road as she tried to hail a cab.
The 55-year-old wore a black, white and green print dress and may have been feeling the cold as she wrapped a black shawl over her shoulders.

A dream come true! Florence and the Machine unveil dazzling new music video directed by David LaChapelle


She's known for her weird and wonderful fashion sense and her haunting voice, but now Florence Welch has the perfect music video to suit her style.
The five-minute long creation was directed by artist and photographer David LaChapelle and it seems the collaboration was something that singer Florence Welch had always dreamed of.
Accompanying her voice on the latest single, Spectrum (Say My Name), the 25-year-old is seen dressed as an Egyptian queen as she dances alongside ballerinas.

The dreamy video begins with the redhead sitting on a chair surrounded by lights and a spinning chandelier. 
Florence wears a bright red fringed wig and dark eyeshadow as she belts out her latest song.
'It was a complete dream to work with David LaChapelle,' she said. 'I collected his books as a teenager, and I fantasised that he would direct the video for Spectrum from the moment the song was written.

'I still cant believe it actually happened, 
and I'm completely overjoyed that he felt such a connection with the song.'
Clearly David felt the same way about working with the band and has an impressive history of directing music videos - including collaborations with Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears.
'It's a beautiful song that really touched me and inspired me to create imagery that matches its power,' said David, who co-directed the video with John Byrne.

'Spectrum is free of scepticism, irony, and the coldness one finds in a lot of contemporary popular music. It's the opposite - full of light, positivity and authentic joy. I hope that I can do justice to this moving modern classic.'
Florence can also be seen wearing a gold sequin jumpsuit in the video and is followed by a young female ballerina who mimes her lyrics.
Spectrum (Say My Name) will be the fourth single to be released from the band's second studio album Ceremonials and is available ton buy on July 8.

Fighting fit! TOWIE's Lauren Goodger hits bootcamp to lose a few more pounds (but even a tough workout can't shift that pout)


She's been working hard to shift the pounds over the past few months.
And after successfully losing over a stone on The Cambridge Diet, Lauren Goodger has hit bootcamp in Ibiza to fast-track her remaining weight loss.
The Only Way Is Essex star, 25, was joined by castmate Frankie Essex as the pair sweated it out at the No 1 Boot Camp in Marbella.

The pair were seen jogging along in the sunshine with a personal trainer, apparently finding the run more than a little tough.
But despite the extreme conditions of the workout, jogging in the 25C heat, nothing could shift Lauren's now trademark pout from her face.

The reality star even accessorised her outfit with a pair of aviator sunglasses to add that bit of much-needed Essex glamour.

Lauren wore a pink bra top, low-slung grey jogging bottoms and a matching pink pair of trainers along with a vest top emblazoned with the boot camp logo as she pounded the roads.
Meanwhile, Frankie, who appeared to be pushing herself extremely hard on the bootcamp, wore a pair of cropped black trousers, with her blonde hair scraped back from her face.
Lauren yesterday tweeted that she was thrilled with the results of the bootcamp, writing on her Twitter page: 'Goodbye @No1bootcamp I've got 6 pounds in 4 days I worked hard n feel great looking forward continuing @CambsWeightPlan when bk x'

Yesterday, Lauren treated her fans to a shot of her newly-flat stomach in a shot posted to her Twitter page. 
In March, yo-yo dieter Lauren embarked on the strict Cambridge Weight Plan, after creeping from a size 8 to a 14 within a year.

Megan Fox diverts attention from her 'bump' with a plunging maxi dress as she keeps quiet on pregnancy rumours


She has so far refused to comment on rumours that she is expecting her first child with husband Brian Austin Green.
But pictures of Megan Fox last week appeared to show a much-expanded stomach, suggesting reports that the actress is expecting are true.
However, as Megan stepped out in Los Angeles yesterday, she decided to divert attention from her possible baby bump in a plunging, but loose, maxi dress.

Megan teamed the long black dress, which featured a plunging neckline, with a blue cardigan and silver jewellery as she and her husband fitted in some retail therapy at the Fred Segal store in LA. 
Despite the fact that Megan has yet to either confirm or deny the pregnancy reports, it has already been claimed that the 26-year-old actress is expecting a little girl.
A source said: ‘She's been helping to raise Brian's 10-year-old son Kassius for years, and now she'll have the experience of being mommy to a little girl.

‘Obviously, Megan and Brian would be happy with a healthy baby of either gender, but they're beyond thrilled that Kassius is going to have a little sister.’
The couple will reportedly welcome their daughter into the world at the end of September with Megan having no movie commitments until 2013.
The source added to America's Star magazine: ‘She'll be due at the very end of September or the first week in October. 
‘Megan is attached to a movie called Swindle, but it's in rewrites and probably won't even begin filming until next year. So right now her plate is totally clean, and she can devote herself to her baby.’

Loving London': Newly-single Sofia Vergara parties in the West End with her handsome son Manolo


She's newly single following her recent split from long-term love Nick Loeb.
If she is feeling heartbroken, Sofia Vergara certainly hasn't been showing it as she parties around London town.
Following her win at the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards on Tuesday, the Modern Family star took the only man in her life - her 19-year-old son Manolo - out for dinner last night.

The Colombian actress, 39, and Manolo joined some friends for dinner at the upmarket Wolesley restaurant in Piccadilly.
Wearing a sexy little black dress and towering black heels, it doesn't look like the screen star will be single for long.
During her meal, she tweeted a photo of herself and her son, writing: 'All day photoshoot at Wrotham Park now dinner @Wolesley !!! Loving London.'

Earlier that day, her son accompanied her to the 18th century Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire for a photoshoot - the location of Cheryl Cole's ill-fated wedding to Chelsea footballer Ashley in 2006.
She uploaded a photo of Manolo in front of the stunning building, joking: 'Manolo at our new London pad jajahaha.'
Vergara is preparing to hit the big 4-0 in less than six weeks, and admitted earlier this year hitting the landmark age had made her assess her fertility.

She had Manolo aged 20 with her ex-husband, childhood sweetheart Joe Gonzalez, but is unsure whether she will have another child.
She said: 'I guess I am going to think about freezing my eggs.'
However, because she is ageing so well, Vergara admits she's not so worried about becoming middle-aged.
She added: 'I remember thinking when my mom was 40 that she was done.
'I am on these lists for "best ass" or "most beautiful" with women like Mila Kunis, who’s, like, 20 years old. I have a son that age!'

Jo, Bradley and Paul yesterday performed their once hit track Reach (For The Stars) on The Morning Show.
And in an attempt to cover the absence of former bandmates Rachel Stevens, Tina Hobley, Hannah Spearritt and Jon Lee, the threesome were instead accompanied by several dancers who performed the once famous dance routine in the background.
Following their performance, the trio were interviewed by The Morning Show host Larry Emdur and guest host Dannii Minogue, who both attempted to relive their youth by rolling out some old school dance moves.

But the trio's rendition of their number one track didn't go down too well with viewers, who complained about the absence of the other four members.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: 'Anyone wish S Club 7 to reform...watch this and you'll see why it shouldn't happen!!'
While another added: 'S Club 7 in Australia. This will make you cringe.'

Other fans said that while they had been excited about the prospect of the group reforming, it just isn't the same as a three-piece.
One person tweeted: 'Omg. Got so excited thinking S Club 7 were doing a new tour. Only to find out its in Australia - & it's only 3 of them! #Heartbroken.'
But John-Paul from the formerly successful hip hop band Big Brovaz, who S Club 3 are touring Australia with, came forward in defense of the act.
He wrote on his Twitter page: 'Who cares what the papers say, I think #S-Club were great... Particularly since we have been touring Australia full on for 2 weeks! Wicked.'
