It's one of the most fashionable times of the year in London so it was bound to kick off in true style on Friday.

And it was Laura Whitmore who led the celebrity fashion pack as London Fashion Week got underway on Friday morning.

The TV presenter attended not one, but two shows, and of course had two different looks for both.

How do you like them apples? Laura Whitmore kicks of London Fashion Week with a pair of fruity trousers at the Felder Felder show on Friday morning

Style chameleon: The TV presenter made a second outfit change as she then headed to the Fyodor Golan runway on the first day of the week long fashion event

She started her day off at the Felder Felder show sitting on the front row, or 'FROW' as it's fashionable known, next to her pal Zoe Hardman.

And it was a case of how do you like them apples for the star as she worked her style in a pair of apple printed trousers.

The 28-year-old wore the pants with some pointy black heels and a black leather jacket resting over her shoulders.

Style queen: The 28-year-old TV star made the most of the first day of London Fashion Week by attending as many runway shows as possible

Immaculate: At her second show of the day Laura wore a striking red dress and gold chains around her neck with a loose side ponytail

She brightened up the ensemble with an orange top on and wore her blonde locks down and straight.

Fellow TV host Zoe Hardman meanwhile went for a slinky black top with a green leather pencil skirt and she also mirrored Laura with her own black leather jacket also resting on her shoulders.

Although they weren't the only stars eyeing up the Spring Summer 2014 Felder Felder trends.

Part of the fashion pack: Zoe Hardman wore a green leather pencil skirt as she joined Noelle Reno at the Felder Felder show

Mingling: Despite the morning kick off the girls ensured they were dressed in their best

Taking her seat: Singer Dionne Bromfield also got a special invite to the FROW

Model looks: Amber Le Bon and Donna Air were also among the fashion crowd going to the first fashion show of the week

Ladylike: The girls crossed their legs as they got ready for the fashion show to start

Made In Chelsea's Rosie Fortescue also dressed to impress with a fedora hat on.

Donna Air also turned up in a cute frock, while Dionne Bromfield and model Amber Le Bon were also treated to a place on the FROW.

But Whitmore wasn't happy with just seeing the one catwalk on the first day of the week-long event.

Favourite time of year! Kate Nash is often a regular at Fashion Week and also showed up to the Felder Felder show

Fancy seeing you here: Made In Chelsea's Rosie Fortescue wore a fedora hat to the show, while Donna Air opted for a pretty dress

After the Felder Felder show she quickly had a clothes change before then heading to the next in her busy fashion schedule - Fyodor Golan's runway show.

She of course gave herself an image overhaul for the bash by slipping into a bright red frock.

Her long legs were on full show in her new get-up, which she matched with some large beige wedges and a matching clutch bag.

Laura draped some gold chains around her neck and even altered her hair by tying it up into a loose sideways ponytail.

Catwalk time: The stars took notes as the models came out at the Felder Felder show on Friday morning

Fashion time: The models poured out in a variety of outfits as London Fashion Week kicked off in style

Jessica Ennis-Hill shines bright in orange dress for Omega party

 Jessica Ennis-Hill shines bright in orange dress for Omega party... but sticks to flats as she recovers from ankle injury

Jessica Ennis-Hill certainly stood out from the crowd as she attended an Omega party in London on Tuesday night.

The champion heptathlete opted for an eye-catching orange Antonio Berardi dress which hugged her athletic figure in all the right places as she attended the summer bash, held at the Omega Vintage store in Burlington Arcade.

But instead of teaming the dress with a pair of skyscraper heels, Jessica instead opted to stick to flats - clearly doing everything she can to ensure a quick recovery process following an ankle injury.

Standing out: Jessica Ennis-Hill wore a bright orange dress to the Omega summer party in London on Tuesday night, but stuck to flats as she continues to recover from an ankle injury

Jessica, 27, finished off her look with a black clutch bag, and left her golden blonde hair loose for the occasion. 

The Sheffield-born Olympic champion's evening out came as she was named as part of the Great Britain team for next month's World Championships in Moscow.

While Jessica had been expected to be included in the squad, her ankle injury which led to her pulling out of the British Championships last weekend put her involvement in August's world championships in doubt.

Radiant: Jessica looked stunning for the occasion, with simple make-up and her hair left loose and tousled

Smiles all round: Zoe Hardman wore a coral skirt and white top, while Noelle Reno wore a pencil skirt and silky top

However, UK Athletics performance director Neil Black remains confident that Jessica had what it takes to secure more victory for Team GB during the Moscow event, despite being out of the game for a lengthy period of time due to her injuries.

He said: 'I truly believe she is one of the few who could come and do that. By loving the event, by being technically so good at it, by practising so much, by being so fit and healthy and being so good … we can certainly think very positively.'

So it's more than understandable that Jessica, who is expected to compete in the 100m hurdles at the Diamond League event in Monaco on Friday - decided not to risk any further injuries by sticking to flats for her evening out.

Different styles: Hofit Golan wore an unusual playsuit, Linzi Stoppard looked stunning in blue and model Ella Catliff opted for a pretty coral dress

Dressed to impress: Heptathlete Louise Hazell and singer Natalie Coyle also attended the event

Jessica wasn't the only familiar face at the Omega summer cocktail party. 

Zoe Hardman looked chic in a peach miniskirt and white top which highlighted her deep golden tan, while Hofit Golan opted for an unusual playsuit. 

Model Noelle Reno kept things simple in a black pencil skirt, silver silky top and silver sandals, while Linzi Stoppard stood out in her cobalt blue lace dress. 

Dominic Cooper led the way for the celebrity men at the event, in a pair of chino trousers, T-shirt and blazer, while actor Bill Nighy and newsreader Jon Snow also made an appearance.

Suave: Dominic Cooper looked smart for the occasion in his chino trousers and blazer

Here come the boys: Swimmer Mark Forster and actor Bill Nighy were among the male familiar faces at the party

Staying green: Veteran newsreader Jon Snow arrived for the party in Burlington Arcade on his bike

Kimberley Walsh reveals her summer ready body in a clinging sky blue dress

Print perfect: Kimberley Walsh reveals her summer ready body in a clinging sky blue dress as Denise Van Outen is alone AGAIN

As the summer approaches women everywhere are furiously working out, trying to perfect their beach-ready bodies.

Not Kimberley Walsh - the Girls Aloud singer - showed off her perfect figure in a sky-blue clinging dress at Hello's 25th birthday party.

Looking slimmer than ever Kimberley, 31, revealed her deep tan as she strolled in to the star-studded bash at The Wallace Collection in London.

Summer ready: Kimberley Walsh looked picture perfect in her sky blue dress

All eyes on her! Kimberley looks simply sensational in her dress, which flaunted her slender curves to perfection 

Her dress perfectly accentuated her figure with the Aztec pattern showing off her curves yet highlighting her newly lightened locks.

The Something New singer wasn't the only celebrity keeping to the printed theme, Denise Van Outen, 38, arrived minus her husband Lee Mead in a black dress with a print pattern.

The blonde radio presenter is making it a habit of strolling into showbiz parties alone, fuelling the rumours her marriage is in trouble.

Alone again? Denise Van Outen came in at a close second with her choice of black patterned dress

Same pose: Denise doesn't move from the fail safe hand on hip pose as she arrives alone at the bash 

Demure: TV presenter Laura Hamilton looks perfect in her off white dress

Newly attached Donna Air also walked into the party alone, leaving new beau James Middleton at home - although if the pair ever do tie the knot it will surely feature in the top glossy.

But for some stars it was less about the wardrobe and more about the tan.

Loose Woman Denise Welch, 54, may have given up the booze but she can't put down the bottle of fake tan - the blonde chatterbox would put even the most devout TOWIE fan to shame with her colour at the bash.

It's meant to be a high class event! Nancy Dell'Olio goes for a typically revealing outfit

That's how to do a black dress! Noelle Reno gives Nancy a run for her money in an LBD

His wife is wild! Sir Bruce Forsyth with wife Wilnelia Merced at the bash - Bruce looks typically dashing

With her toyboy husband-to-be Lincoln Towney by her side she grinned at cameras in a flattering loose dress.

While TV presenter Laura Hamilton looked a picture of innocence in her white dress.

Kimberley was attending a sales conference dinner by publishers Headline, who will publish her autobiography later this year.

Tantastic! Denise Welch may have given up the booze but she can't put another kind of bottle down

Summer colours: Nicola Tappenden and Denise have opened up their summer wardrobes - despite the bad weather 

All the single ladies! Ulrika Jonsson and Donna Air go demure in knee-length dressed as they leave their men at home 

From The Great Gatsby to Hello magazine! John Cleese and wife Jennifer Wade didn't bother changing between the London screening and the 25th birthday bash

The deal was announced last month by Headline’s deputy publishing director Sarah Emsley, who said: ‘Girls Aloud were a true British success story and I couldn’t be more thrilled that Kimberley has chosen this moment to tell her story.

‘Her book is sure to be packed full of the warmth and laughter that makes Kimberley such a national treasure and reading it will feel like curling up on the sofa for a gossip with an old friend.’

And Kimberley said in a recent interview that while she is in no rush to have children, she would like to have a family at some point down the line.

Changing rooms! Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Jackie Bowen arrive early

From singers to former royalty: West End star Caro Emerald and Fergie were on the invitation list 

You look like a detective! Kirsty Gallacher keeps her Mac on as she arrives

She said: ‘I have got so many babies around me at the moment - friends and family and my sister is expecting again.

‘I could just about look after everyone else’s for now because I’m a little bit busy to have one myself, but I do want one. I love kids so it’s something I’m definitely going to do.’

Kimberley will also be kept busy in the coming months penning her very first autobiography, which will be released this autumn.

Couple: Joan Collins and husband Percy Gibson are known to be fans of the glossy

From Weslife to Socialite: Brian McFadden and Tara Palmer Tomkinson don't miss a trick as they head to the party to rub shoulders with celebrities 

Explaining the reasons behind her decision to write a book, Kimberley said: ‘People have been asking me to tell my story for years but it never felt right while the band was still together.

‘Now, as we all turn the next page in our lives, it feels like the perfect time for me to share with my fans what my life is really like.’

He hasn't seen that before! Rod Stewart performed his silly walk in front of John Cleese as they left the party

Impressed? John chatted to Penny Lancaster as her husband Rod larked around

Time to go: John hopped into his car after the bash, joined by wife Jennifer

Heading home: Penny and Nancy both maintained their dignity as they left the party, having clearly not over-indulged

And after the party, some stars looked a little more worse for wear than others, with some people clearly over-indulging.

Rod Stewart seemed in good spirits as he left with wife Penny Lancaster, and seemed delighted to bump into John Cleese outside

Clearly trying to make the legendary funnyman giggle, Rod tried out his Ministry of Silly Walks in front of the Monty Python star.
