She has cited Victoria Beckham as her all-time style icon and Michelle Keegan seems set on giving the designer a run for her money in the fashion stakes. The actress has unveiled her third range for Lipsy and says it aims to reflect the season’s hottest shapes, fabrics and styles that incorporate both the catwalk trends and her own coveted wardrobe.
The AW14 collection includes reworked classics alongside fresh new designs that have been hand-picked by 27-year-old Michelle to reflect looks and shapes that she loves and wants to be seen in.

The range is available to buy online now priced between £22 for a top to £95 for a faux fur coat.
Speaking about her latest offering, she said: ‘I love winter – Christmas is my favourite time of year so I couldn’t wait to get back into the design room to create some classic winter pieces. ‘This capsule range is a real mix of all of the looks and styles that I love to wear at this time of year and I hope everyone will love them just as much as I do.’ The colour palette is rich and full of black, navy, grey and teal with injections of silver grey and blush pink.
Michelle has included her favourite style, the tuxedo short suit, as well as more feminine lingerie styled up as partywear. The classic Lipsy shift dress has been given a Michelle twist with a sexy sheer neckline detail combining lace trims with PU panelling.
Michelle was keen to include long sleeved dress options so she reworked the LBD giving it a sweetheart neck and long embellished mesh sleeves. There’s also lots of jumpsuits, long line kimonos and the cosy knitwear Michelle loves to wrap up in come winter.
This collection delivers Michelle’s largest outerwear selection to date with everyday coats and glamorous evening jackets. Speaking to Media, Michelle said: ‘I have been working on it for so long and created collages of my favourite red carpet looks and colours and shapes that I love so it’s full of things I wear myself.
‘I would describe it as quite minimalist, classic and tailored with a girly edge. Michelle added: ‘I have spent a lot of time over the last few months working closely with the Lipsy design team to make sure that each piece in my collection is something I am excited about wearing.

‘My collection is classic, unfussy and feminine in style, and I can’t wait for it to hit the high street and see everyone wearing it.’
Speaking about the inspiration behind her range, she cited a certain fashionista as her muse. ‘I love Victoria Beckham’s style, she is effortlessly chic and looks amazing whenever she steps out.’
Michelle, who loves high street stores Zara, Mango and Topshop – because you can get ‘value for your money’ – also shares style tips with fiance, Mark Wright. ‘He’s good with his fashion choices and always looks stylish but he will ask for my opinion sometimes,’ she said.
The brunette fashionista added: ‘This range is my dream come true and I hope to design for many years to come.’
