Michelle Keegan steps out in sexy black jumpsuit with lacy peep-hole for the London launch of her new clothing line by Lipsy. After winning bikini body of the year for the second year in a row, she’d be forgiven for wanting to dress in swimwear every single day.
But on Tuesday morning, the focus for Michelle Keegan was her new clothing line with Lipsy, as she arrived at London’s Sanderson Hotel for a special press launch.
The former Coronation Street star, 27, stepped out in a sexy black ensemble of a black jumpsuit, which featured a lacy peep-hole feature, allowing subtle display of her cleavage.
The brunette beauty, engaged to former TOWIE hunk Mark Wright, teamed her outfit with a silver pair of vertiginous heels and a bejewelled watch and her stunning engagement ring. With her wavy hair cascading well beyond her shoulders and her skin glowing with an enviable tan, Michelle was the picture of designer glamour as she posed for snapshots to promote the line. Just the night before, the actress and her fiancé stepped out for the dinner at the same venue, though in stark contrast they were both dressed in full white.
Michelle stood out in a white strapless cocktail dress from the new wave of her Lipsy collection, which is tipped for release on August 13. For the second year in a row, the star beat off stiff competition from the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and newcomer Chloe Sims to take the top spot in a bikini body poll. The screen beauty walked away with over a fifth of the vote, as 22 per cent of respondents chose her as the favourite in the poll, by lifestyle website Wrappler dot com.
In July, she told MailOnline of her clothing line: ‘Coming in here and seeing the clothes and my name up in lights is amazing, it’s made it really real now and I keep having to pinch myself. ‘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 minimalistic, classic and tailored with a girly edge. ‘It’s my dream come true and I hope to design for many years to come.’ The chic range of figure-hugging dresses, cosy coats and on-trend totes was based around Michelle’s own fashion choices and outfits she’s worn in the past. 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. ‘He’s good with his fashion choices and always looks stylish but he will ask for my opinion sometimes,’ she said.
