Split skirts are well and truly in fashion. After several recurrent seasons of sexed up micro mini’s, lead particularly by the va va voom styles of some of my favourite designers Balmain and Herve Leger which Paula has been wearing. It’s now time for a new wave of seduction skirts to find their way onto the red carpets, into wardrobes and into Paula’s X Factor promotional wardrobe. The high split skirt has become a big trend for 2011 with a host of models and celebrities choosing to show more than a hint of leg. Paula choose a floaty foil mermaid style halterneck maxi dress with a dangerously high split for her appearance on the Ellen show last week. This dress had a breezy style in a mix of striped orange, pink and gold fabrics that catch the light with the movement and flow of this dress. Paula paired the dress with a skinny belt round the middle and a stack of jewellery – you could hear her bracelets clunking as she moved her arms! Overall a great, L.A resort style loom for 2011.
