She needs some tips on winter dressing. And that promotional outfit was awful. With those hips/thighs she should have worn a gorgeous dress and heels 50's style. I can say that too as we have the same figure.

But its not winter?! Although it looks and feels like it at the moment!!!
Stupid english weather is ruining my summer wardrobe!!!!!And i think the outfit she wore to launch her perfume was something she had no say in, its the same as the promotional posters and obviously someone in her team thought that it was a good idea......wrong!!!!! It makes her look about 2 stone heavier than she actually is!! Nice chanel though!!

Ahhh sorry. I'm sitting here in Sydney rugged up and didn't even think about my comment. ha ha. But she looked sort of wintery to me, despite it being high summer in the UK of course.
Ok trans-seasonal dressing, when the calender says one thing and the weather says another.
I just think she looked so nice at her birthday and on holiday and the promotional look was worse than just blah because it made her look bad not just insipid.
I'm sure she must have some say over her outfit!
P.S What Chanel?

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]Coleen: “I’m too busy to pick a wedding dress”[/SIZE][/FONT]
She shot to fame as the schoolgirl other half of footballer Wayne Rooney. But with her own scent about to hit the shelves and a new TV show, Coleen McLoughlin is now a star in her own right.
Coleen, 21, tells us how she would go back to Weight Watchers to get in shape for her wedding next year, and why there are no baby plans just yet.
Over the last three years, you’ve earned millions and now you’re about to launch a perfume and TV career. How does it feel to be one of the wealthiest young ladies in the world?
It’s great. I never imagined I’d be where I am ?now. It’s every girl’s dream! It hasn’t happened overnight though. A lot of the projects that are ?now coming about have been bubbling away for ?the past four or five years – it’s been a gradual thing. Obviously, in the beginning, it was Wayne who was in the limelight, now my stuff is really coming together.
How thrilled are you to have your own TV show, Coleen’s Real Women, starting next year?
It’s all so exciting. This will be my first project for ITV. I’m working closely with Endemol who came up with the idea. The plan is to find a group of real women who have never done any modelling, but would quite like to give it a go. The final eight will then be put forward to model for a professional advertising campaign.
Tell us about the perfume. How did you come to decide on your own scent?
I wanted something fresh smelling that hadn‘t been done before. Something you can wear every day. I flew to France to test lots of different scents and picked my favourite four. I came back home and let friends and family smell the samples. Everyone loved the same one – even Wayne!
With your career going so well, have you had much chance to think about starting a family with Wayne yet?
No – especially with so many big projects. I’m also signed with ITV for two years and I want that to work out well. To be honest, Wayne and I don’t talk about having children at the moment. We’re still really young and our main priority is getting married. That comes first.
That’s next year, isn’t it? Can you tell us more about the big day?
The plans are very much up in the air just now. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to think. I don’t even know what kind of dress I want. I think I’ll end up trying a load of different designs on first though. I want to get it right.
Do you and Wayne want a big do?
I don’t know. I liked what I did for my 21st, maybe we’ll work on some of the same ideas. It wasn’t too formal and people could eat what they wanted – we had a mix of Italian, Chinese and Indian.
Talking of food, do you think you’ll be going on a diet for the big day?
If I put on a lot of weight then I’d think about it. I’ve used Weight Watchers before and lost nearly a stone. It’s great because it doesn’t rule any foods out. Having a bit of everything you fancy is the healthiest way to lose weight and keep it off.
All eyes will be on you at the wedding as always – does fame ever frighten you?
No, not really. I’m good at keeping things in perspective. And if I ever stepped out of line my family and friends would tell me. I never stop valuing the really good things in life, like a night out with the girls or a day out shopping.
Are you nervous about presenting your new TV show?
I suppose I’ll get butterflies when the cameras start, but a little of that is good I think. Luckily, I’ve already had a taste of television with programmes like Trevor McDonald and GMTV, so hopefully it won’t be too different to that.
What other presenters do you admire?
I like Cat Deeley and Tess Daly. They’re always so relaxed and look like they’re having a laugh instead of being false – that’s how I want to be.
Do you miss the days when you could walk down the street and be invisible?
It can be hard being in the public eye, but it’s part of this life. I’m lucky to be able to go back home to Liverpool, where I can walk down the street and say hi to a neighbour and them not think anything of it.
Who do you look up to stylewise?
No one really but I’m always interested in looking at fashions and who’s wearing what. I like to dress for myself and wouldn’t copy anyone. You should dress to suit your own style and body shape.
You’re the face of George at Asda clothing range. What should we look out for in the new collection?
I’ve just been to their autumn/winter show and there are some lovely pieces. I wore a gorgeous gold sequin dress for that with black opaque tights. There are great coats in lots of colours. Blue is going to be very big.
What else will be must-have looks next season?
Things are going to get very glam with lots of metallics. Layering is going to be huge. Look out for masculine-style clothes too, like tailored trousers and jackets teamed with feminine blouses.
If you had to choose between a pair of new shoes or a kiss from Wayne, what would it be?
A kiss with Wayne, any day.
Do you think fame and wealth have changed you?
Not really. I still have the same friends and see my family lots. Wayne and I are lucky with all the other things we have in life but we just try to look on those as a bonus. Family, friends and home are most important.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+1]The Real Coleen[/SIZE][/FONT]
EXCLUSIVE What have me & Wayne in common? Love, of course.. & we both like a laugh I get butterflies in my tummy when he's due back from a tour .. I miss him loads I'm still the same ordinary girl I was .. the posh handbags & shoes are a bonus
Coleen McLoughlin is worth £6million in her own right, she's pretty and - infuriatingly - likeable. Barely 21 and wearing red-soled Christian Louboutin heels, white blouse and smoky mascara, she looks like a schoolgirl dressed up in her mum's threads as she comes chattering in.
She should be all too easy to envy - and loathe. Wayne Rooney's photogenic fiancee has a wildly lucrative exercise video, a magazine column and TV show.
She is the £3million face of George at Asda, the author of a best-selling autobiography and has just launched her own "citrussy" perfume - Coleen X.
She's even set the date for her wedding - sometime in 2008 - and is busy planning a lavish ceremony. "I've got to get cracking," she says, breathlessly. "I've only got a year."
But there's no guile to her. She isn't showing off - or even trying terribly hard. She'd just rather be busy. "My dad always says, 'Never say bored' - he hates that word. Yes, I could put my feet up. But I wouldn't want that.
"When I was little I always had something on - dance lessons, drama. And I wanted a career. After school I worked at New Look - they gave me a discount off the clothes.
"But when I moved in with Wayne, I was pretty much just looking after the house. Then a magazine offered me a column. And it was my dream job - writing about fashion in a magazine I used to buy anyway. Since then, everything else has come to me. But people must have seen something and thought: 'We'll give Coleen a go'."
As a working-class girl from Croxteth who left school with no A-Levels, her life has morphed beyond recognition. She and Wayne live behind electronic gates in a multi-million pound Cheshire pile, with a swimming pool, and personal gym.
At her glitzy 21st four months ago, her 300 guests were treated to stilt-walkers and female contortionists cavorting on mirrored plinths.
But Coleen is adamant that nothing of consequence has changed. "People think my life has altered dramatically but it hasn't really. My life's still my life - my friends and family and Wayne.
"I see the other wives and girlfriends at matches, but I have my own circle who I go out with at weekends. And they treat me the same as they always did.
"The material things - the handbags, the shoes - are just a bonus. I've always been interested in fashion. The only difference is now I'm lucky enough to be able to buy the expensive things outright. Before, I would still have bought them - it would have just taken me a long, long time to save up."
Coleen has known Wayne, 21, since she was 12. They grew up together - his mother was the cleaner and dinner lady at her school. But she repeatedly brushed off his pleas for a date.
His chance came two years later when he saw her struggling to fix her bicycle chain - and rode over to help. He said later: "I was fed up asking but, this time, she said yes."
And though Coleen is here to promote her perfume and her new ITV show, Coleen's Real Women - in which she helps "ordinary women" become models - she can't help but talk about Wayne.
You might as well ask her not to breathe. "You need a good balance to make a relationship work," she says.
"We've both got a good sense of humour and we like to have a laugh. What else do we have in common? Love, obviously. But we're different in other ways. Wayne's very calm - he's not impulsive.
"He's dead easy-going, but quite shy. It's hard for him to take to people straightaway - he's not chatty, like me. I'll talk to anyone. His career is so focused. And he does let his hair down at home. We like to relax, put our 'jamas on and just watch telly. Normal stuff."
Despite a well-publicised blip three years ago, Wayne would seem to have more than learned his lesson. "I do get fed-up," admits Coleen. "We row over stupid things. But Wayne is always the first to say: 'Oh, just forget about it, let's leave it there.' He'll apologise - even it's my fault."
And despite their wealth - the Manchester United and England star is worth more than £60million - theirs is a cosily suburban existence. Every Monday - when Wayne is home - they stay in for their "Mad Mondays" ritual. "We watch all the soaps - Coronation Street, Emmerdale, EastEnders - and I'll cook or we get in a Chinese takeaway."
When Wayne's away, Coleen might well watch TV with her mum Colette, 45. "It's lovely to have these little breaks. It help keep the relationship fresh. I still get those feelings. When he's due back I still get butterflies in my tummy. I miss him loads." Wayne proposed in his car four years ago. Parked up on a petrol station forecourt - hardly the most romantic venue. But Coleen's eyes gleam convincingly at the memory as she twiddles her engagement ring - an emerald-cut diamond the size of a satsuma.
"We were on our way to a restaurant but pulled in at a garage - Wayne needed a cash machine. When he came back and pulled out the ring, I was made up. We went back to my mum's and had dinner there with candles. A glass of champagne and corn beef hash."
Despite the inevitable entourage, Coleen is crashingly normal. She was mocked by critics who claimed her earlier perfume-promoting picture had been airbrushed after she turned up last month looking heavier.
The photo truly hadn't been touched up," she says. "We'd just been on holiday in the South of France and then Las Vegas. And I put on about half a stone. I do like to look good, but I like to enjoy myself too - a drink and something to eat."
She is the oldest of four children and her parents - bricklayer Tony, 48, and nurse Colette - are also foster carers. Growing up in a house full of children invariably leaves you either craving - or dreading - a family of your own. Coleen is evangelical.
"I want to have children one day - I don't like being alone and I love to have family around me.
But my priority now is to get married and then we'll see. I don't tend to look too much into the future." That future would seem unremittingly bright. She has gone from the teenage frump to a svelte icon who graces magazine covers and harbours dreams of acting.
Few would bet against her. "I don't really have a role model. But I do admire Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex In The City. And Victoria (Beckham) always dresses fabulous. I am comfy in my skin and confident, but would never say I was stunning - that would be too vain.
"But I think people can relate to me. Women come up and say, 'Where did you get that outfit?' And men ask, 'It's the wife's birthday, what perfume should I buy?'
"My following is totally different to Wayne's. And that's nice. I'm not like, 'Wayne's got it, so I've got to have it too.' But it is rather lovely." She giggles.
And, amid a sweet whiff of lemons, dashes out to call Wayne again.
Coleen X is available from Selfridges, priced £19.99.
