King & Queen of Kooky

They’re a couple that love to push boundaries, and together make fashion statements that have us all keeping tabs. One’s a 50’s loving pin-up, the other wears smaller trousers than your little sister. Our new favourite showbiz pair Katy Perry and Russell Brand have been rocking all kinds of looks for the paps– from playful and quirky to dark and dangerous, is there anything these lovebirds can’t pull off?

We don’t often see Katy in casual, but we love this look! Miss Perry glams up her gloomy outfit with a gold Chloe Paddington bag. Peaking in popularity long ago, this padlock piece hasn’t left Katy’s arm all winter! To pick up a fab lookalike visit http://www.4itgirls.com/, an online boutique specialising in designer lookalikes for glamour on a budget. We’ve found a red version for £19!

Boys, to get Russell’s gothic rocker style, invest in skin tight jeans, waistcoats and plenty of cross necklaces. The ultimate accessory for men, get yours at http://www.homme-rock.com/, a site offering a hot range of silver and steel cross pendants from £22.95.
