Kelly Osbourne shares her fashion advice
Style expert talks spray tans, happy feet and ... Spanx?
CHICAGO — Kelly Osbourne was a reality star,
actress and musician before anyone took notice that she had a knack for style.
But lately
the 27-year-old daughter of Ozzy Osbourne, currently with violet hair after
stints of pink, lilac and gray, has earned the title of certified fashionista,
dishing the designer dirt with Joan Rivers and co-hosts Giuliana Rancic and
George Kotsiopoulos after major Hollywood red carpets on E! “Fashion Police.”
She also
sat front row with Rivers at the Badgley Mischka show during the New York
Fashion Week this past February.
“I’m in
the process of branding, doing my own line. I will not just attach my name to
something,” Osbourne said. “I want to be a part of every aspect of it. I want
to do everything on it and even down to like making sure I know where the
clothes or items are being manufactured.”
Now she’s
being tapped to kick off fashion-fueled events too, like this month’s
Magnificent Mile Shopping Festival along Chicago’s Michigan Avenue.
While
there Osbourne shared three things she learned walking the red carpet that she
considers top everyday tips for real women:
• Spray
tans: “It just gives you that golden glow, a bit of bronze, like you’ve been
kissed by the sun,” Osbourne said. “It makes you look slimmer and it makes you
feel healthier. I always do that. I hate that I don’t have one now.”
• Flatter
that figure: “Even if you’re a skinny girl, Spanx are a must,” Osbourne said,
name-checking the shaping undergarments have become a red-carpet staple for
women. “Nobody wants to see your belly button through your dress.”
• Pamper
your feet: “Always pack a pair of ballet flats in your handbag because by the
end of the night your feet are killing you. You want to keep going but you
can’t. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to go home early because my
feet hurt and I haven’t had a pair of shoes to change into. Don’t let your
footwear ruin your good time,” she said.
And for
those who must know what Osbourne was wearing in Chicago to meet with reporters
last week: A long, flowing short-sleeved black dress with a rainbow leaf print
by Issa (a British label that Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, has helped
popularize) and a ring with a large purple stone and a jeweled leaf by Chanel.
