Holiday Season Celeb Style Stalk - Rihanna

So it's officially the start of the New Year! Everyone on the 'happy express' into the City this morning with their soggy umbrellas and 'I really don't want to go back to work' expressions, confirmed that it was in fact January and back to reality! Don't worry, by mid-week we will all be used to the early mornings and be back into the swing of things again! To take our minds off of the dismal weather and cheer ourselves up, let's make a cuppa and we can catch up on what the celebs have been up to over the holidays! 

Rihanna, AKA Queen of Hosiery, turned the street into her very own catwalk as she arrived at New York's Marquee Nightclub in her black fishnets on the 18th December. As usual, the star looked striking in a midnight blue mini dress, glamorous fur and sultry suspender pantyhose. She arrived at the club at 3am and partied until the birds sang!

By the 23rd December Rihanna had jetted to her home country of Barbados to enjoy the rest of the festive season. She uploaded the above sexy shot to her instagram account, showing off her outfit for the Christmas party she was attending at Priva Barbados Lounge! Rihanna's tights always add that saucy edge to her look, she rocked her little red number and opaque stockings. Spending Xmas Eve partying on a tropical island is the way to do it in style, after all! Although, if I'm honest, I'd quite miss the cold weather and my cosy little home on Christmas Day! But whisk me and the family off on a private jet on boxing day for the duration of January please! Maybe we will have to just settle with stealing her hosiery style for now...

Big 5 0 in Vegas- Home of stockings and suspenders, hold ups, fishnets and pantyhose!

So you already know about my parents having spontaneous ways, so I don't know why I was surprised by mums 50th birthday celebration plans. They went from looking at relaxing weekends in Santorini, to actually booking 4 nights in Las Vegas - land of lights, entertainment and fun (on a scale only Americans manage!) 

Casinos, and hosiery was everywhere you looked. Mum was very impressed with the stockings, fishnets and pantyhose being worn by the show girls, waitresses and hotel staff.

In the casinos the waitresses wear a range of funky fashion tights and fishnets. The famously, spectacular burlesque extravaganza, showcases a fabulous array of elaborate show-girl costumes, complete with seamed stockings, suspender belts and patterned pantyhose. Brought into the mainstream of entertainment by the lovely Dita Von Teese...

...Burlesque grew on a tremendous scale, with celebs clamouring to appear in the glamorous, but classy, 'Peepshow' in Las Vegas...

The Pussycat Dolls got in on the act. They kidnapped the beautiful Carmen Electra, and also had their own run of burlesque shows in Sin City. Dancing their saucy over the knee socks off, the girls looked amazing in their fishnet hold ups and glitter tights.

Although they didn't see a burlesque show, I was a little shocked to discover that Dad had booked tickets to see Rihanna at the Mandalay Bay hotel! Normally a Radio 2 or Talk Sport listener, he sang 'shine bright like a diamond' every time I saw him for months :) The effects that Vegas has, had obviously got a hold of him early! 

Rihanna tights are famous in their own right!

They had an unforgettable holiday with mum texting me updates such as 'At the piano bar at the Bellagio Hotel drinking cocktails, Ha!' and 'I can't get Dad to bed he's playing Roulette' and my personal favourite-

Me and my husband were also lucky enough to visit Vegas, at the end of a once in a lifetime trip travelling the world. If you ever get the chance to go, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The excitement hits you as soon as you land in Vegas and doesn't leave you until it's time to bid farewell to it's magic... I was so sad to leave I cried all the way home!
