X-Factor style is still the talk of the nation every weekend as the audition process continues and the many outfits of the female judges are persistently making us go green with envy. This time round we have opted for Team Kelly and specifically the outfit she wore to the Manchester X-Factor auditions.
Seen wearing a cream lace dress, towering vermillion wedge shoe boots, a metallic waist cincher belt and a slick of hot red lipstick this outfit oozed girly chic with a twist of funk and Kelly looked positively stunning with her poker straight tresses ultimately completing the ensemble.
Offers Boutique has searched the high street to recreate Kelly’s X-Factor style, so read on to find out how you too can get your hands on this look.
Dorothy Perkins: Cream Lace Skater Dress
The core element of this X-Factor outfit is this Cream Lace Skater Dress from Dorothy Perkins. The sleeveless bodice, fitted waist and flared skater skirt combine to create an ultra flattering and sculpted shape and the all over lace detailing gives the cream dress an added delicate and girly component; just like the one Kelly wore. The jewel neckline sits close to the base of the neck and broadens the shoulders, therefore is recommended for those with smaller or average sized busts, as it tends to rest high on the chest. If the mini length of this skater dress seems a bit too daring for the approaching cooler weather then that dilemma is easily solved with the addition of a pair of nude tights instead of bare legs. What more could you want from this dress, except an exceptional price?? Well guess what it delivers on that too, at only £27.00 it is a steal!! Now, where did we put our purse??

Office: Jeffery Campbell Utopia Wedge Boot
The piece de resistance of Kelly’s X-Factor outfit was her amazingly high vermillion coloured wedge suede shoe boots, which accented against her cream lace dress perfectly and drew plenty of attention. Well, we have located an equally impressive pair available from Office shoes that are perfect for achieving these desired “Kelly look”.
These £125.00 Jeffery Campbell : Utopia Wedge Boots in Red Suede are a great investment piece for this autumn; they tick the boxes of so many trends this season, just the mere thought of them made us giddy!! Made of red suede, these leather boots really have been made for walking, as the high platform wedge heel means that the foot has a larger surface area of support which we all know translates into heels that don’t hurt as much- and you gotta love heels that mean that!! The twin strap buckle detail around the ankle is an added extra that ties in nicely with this autumn’s current trends. Whilst they look fabulous worn in an outfit like Kelly’s, these boots will work with lots of other outfit combinations such as jeans, shorts, skirts and dresses so definitely worth a little splurge now knowing they will last throughout the season.
Oasis: Paris Covered Stretch Belt
Whist we struggled to locate a copper metal belt like Kelly’s we think this Paris Covered Stretch Belt from Oasis for £16.00 is an appropriate substitute. Still an eye-catching statement waist cinching belt, this gold belt features an oversized clasp at the front, an elasticised band around the back and a snakeskin effect embossed into the leather look fabric. Opting for a gold belt makes finding jewellery in similar tones a whole lot easier and gives the whole outfit an opulent feel.
New Look: Sparkle Stripe Ring
To accessorise this X-Factor outfit Kelly wore a sparkly dome ring on the forth finger or her right hand, we think this New Look: Sparkle Stripe Ring for £6.99 is a great selection, as the amber and crystal coloured stones and gold effect band tie in nicely with the outfit’s colour palette.
Peacocks: Ladies Hoop Earrings
And finally to finish off the look, Kelly opted for some large hoop earrings like these Ladies Hoop Earrings from Peacocks priced at a very purse-friendly £3.00. The large double banded hoops consist of on plain hoop combined with a twisted hoop to generate a more textured effect.
Some added extras:-
Still concerned that the weather will be too chilly this autumn to merit buying an outfit like this? Alas we have an answer, add a black boyfriend blazer with the sleeves rolled up; just like we have seen Miss Rowland do on other X-Factor outfits and the aforementioned nude tights to keep those lovely legs toasty and warm. Problem solved!!
Miss Selfridge: Black One Button Blazer
John Lewis: Barely There Non-Slip Tights, Nude
Combine these elements together and you too will be well on your way to achieving some of Kelly Rowland’s American Superstar stylishness!!
Who will it be next week, Team Kelly or Team Tulisa??
