Best dressed of the weekend: Jessie J

JessieJI spent a big part of my Sunday night watching videos of Jessie J on youtube. I didn't know who she even was until I saw her perform on Graham Norton a couple of weeks ago. On Saturday she was SNL's musical guest (a very big deal!) and she was incredible on stage. I really like her music, kind of a vintage R&B, and her style. She combines a kind of cabaret/pin-up aesthetic with very contemporary clothes that are often extremely tight or see-through —e.g. leotards or bodysuits— and yet she looks classy and cool unlike Nicki Minaj, whose style I simply don't get. Her fuchsia leotard look for SNL reminded me a lot of Versus famous FW10 line and Louis Vuitton's FW11 one, of which I hated everything apart from the corset shorts. And I liked how it was combined with patterned tights that I thought to be thigh-high boots very similar to the amazing Patternity ones I saw a while ago at Selfridges and. And it works as a bonus that she has this amazingly straight and shiny bobbed hair, which is 100% natural!
You can watch her SNL performances here and here. Are you a fan?
I'm off.

I was not expecting this, which made of my spotting it a much more pleasant experience. Victoria Beckham profited her London visit to premiere her latex leggings. It seems she could not feel left apart with LiLo, Ashley Olsen and all sorts of celebs wearing them everywhere lately. I love that she wore them with a blazer and gloves à la Lagerfeld.

In your opinion, does she pull them off?

I'm off.
