One of the best known rules in fashion is never to mix red and pink.  

But then Rihanna, 27, has always been one to challenge protocol - as the red-haired singer stepped out in a bubblegum pink dress on Monday in New York City.

However, regardless of colour, the off-shoulder lacy eighties style - which wouldn't have looked out of place at a prom from the decade - was pretty hard to carry off, even for one of the most beautiful women on the planet.

The enormous puff-ball sleeves rather overwhelmed the singer's petite frame, but she did distract attention by flashing a lot of toned leg. 

She carried a silver box handbag on a chain and matched her towering Christian Louboutins to her thigh-skimming gown.

The star was perfectly made-up with a bronze eye-colour that highlighted her pretty peepers and crushed raspberry lip-stain.

She piled her voluminous flame locks on top on her head, which cascaded around her face. 

The star wasn't shy of accessorising, adding a bountiful collection of necklaces and heart-drop earrings.  

On Friday the star attending the wedding of her stylist and friend Sonya Benson in NYC - so perhaps she's on honeymoon and unable to consult the star to her usual high levels of fashion-forward.

 Last week it emerged that the Umbrella hitmaker is 'desperate' to be involved in her former flame and former attacker Chris Brown's new album. 

According to Hollywoodlife.com, Rihanna was bewitched by the fact Brown was naming the upcoming work after his newly discovered daughter Royalty.

'Chris gets nothing but cool points from Ri for naming his new album Royalty,' a source revealed.

'That's so sweet and a testament of how much he loves and honors his little girl. Rihanna wants to be featured on the album and do a collaboration with him. She'd be hurt if she wasn't.' 

Rihanna – who collaborated with Chris on a 2011 remix of her track 'Birthday Cake' – has reportedly already started writing a track they could work on together.

'She feels in her heart that Chris is going to pump his soul into the album so it can live up to his daughter's name and she wants to be part of that,' the insider said.

'She's even taken time to write a few lines for a possible song on the album. She thinks the album is going to be epic by all proportions.'

Stepping out: The dress bustled into a frilly back view, which drew attention to her tanned and toned legs

Jourdan Dunn showed that she is a West London girl through and through as she partied at Notting Hill Carnival on Monday.

The British supermodel put on a leggy display at the Red Bull Carnival party on Monday afternoon, making the most of the Bank Holiday.

The mother-of-one rocked a patterned tunic and kept her long brunette locks loose as she mingled with the crowds.

Jourdan, who is of Grenadian heritage, appeared to be enjoying the event - held every year in West London to celebrate Caribbean culture.

It is the largest street festival in Europe, and originated in 1964 as a way for Afro-Caribbean communities in London to celebrate their own cultures and traditions.

The 25-year-old celebrated the West London event just weeks after attending another carnival in Barbados.

Celebrating her recent birthday, Jourdan partied at the annual Kadooment Day parade along with the likes of Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton.

While there, she shared plenty of pictures of her striking carnival ensemble on her Instagram page, as she also celebrated her 25th birthday.

She oozed sex appeal in one shot, wearing a bright yellow - and very skimpy - bejewelled bikini, complete with a garish but fun yellow and lilac feathered head-dress.

The model star also spent time relaxing on the beach with pals as she rang in her quarter-century birthday.

Between grueling production schedules, traveling, and creating content for her lifestyle site Amore & Vita, it’s hard to believe Shay Mitchell has any time for herself, let alone 20 minutes to squeeze in a workout. But despite her often busy and ever-changing schedule, the Pretty Little Liars actress has made health and fitness an integral part of her everyday life. So much so, she even joined the athleisure design game, creating a collection for Kohl's called Fit to Wander. Created with the girl-on-the-go in mind, the 19-piece line features stylish and comfortable silhouettes you can take from your morning gym session to afternoon brunch. So just how does she do it all? We caught with Mitchell (in between workouts) to find out. Keep reading for our exclusive interview.

  Byrdie: What influenced you to make fitness such a big part of your life?
  Shay Mitchell: Well, for me, it’s all about balance. A lot of people that know me know that I absolutely love food, pizza in particular. I work out not only to balance food, but also to keep my mind focused. And for me, that comes in many different forms. It can be taking a walk outside, boxing, or going to dance. Anything physical has such a positive impact on people; the dopamine and serotonin that get released when you work out—afterward, you feel amazing.

  B: Was that the catalyst for designing your own athleisure line?
  SM: I really wanted to do an athleisure line because I feel my best after I’m done working out. And another thing on top of that was I’ve tried on so many different workout brands, but I was finding that there were certain things I was looking for that I could never find. You know, for the sports bra, I always felt like it would cut me off at a certain angle and then for pants, they were always falling down when I was spinning. So I was always taking notes of things I wanted to find, and then I was like, you know, "I could just do it myself." I came up with Fit to Wander, and it was a name I loved because it wasn’t specific to just being worn at the gym or when you are working out; it can be worn from boot camp to brunch. And for me, I never know what’s going to happen in my day, it’s always changing, so I wanted to be able to wear something you can take from morning to night, and that’s how it came about. I wanted to put a special note from me in the collection, so I put positive affirmations in every single piece. I just think it has such a great impact on the rest of the day when you read them.

  B: Do you have a favorite piece?
  SM: I would say the wrap with the hood. It has thumbholes on the inside, an extra-long hood so you can really cover up, and the material is so soft. It’s the perfect-size wrap, and I’ve probably worn that more times than anything.

  B: Will we see a second collection?
  SM: Yes! Clothes for me are so fun, especially with different seasons; you get to play around with different colors. It’s going to be fun, and I’ve already started working on it, and I’m very excited about it. 

  B: How do you tone up?
  SM: I have to switch it up because I get bored, so I’ll try different classes. Cardio for me is a spin class. I think it’s great. I get so amped up with other people in the room, and there’s just a really good energy about it. So I’ll usually start with a spin class, then it will be something like weights or working out with my amazing trainer—we do a mix of Pilates and leg toning. And then I’ll go take a Body by Simone class. There are so many amazing classes here in L.A., but my favorite is boxing. I love it because there is the cardio at the beginning, and then we’re sparring afterward and then we do stretching and weights.

  B: Have you tried any unusual workouts?
  SM: I have tried the aerial workout. It was amazing; I’d love to get more into it. Pole dancing was a really good workout. Not going to lie, it was really hard and I felt it the next day. There are so many amazing apps where you can sign up and see what’s going on. For me, it’s about trying everything from rock climbing to dancing to martial arts. It’s finding what you like and mixing it with other things you like. 

  B: What’s your secret to staying fit when you’re working so much?
  SM: If you can’t fit a workout in, it does really come down to your eating. Me being on set, I drink a lot of water. I try to opt out of coffee and drink green tea instead. There are always options. But I have my certain favorite things with me all the time when I’m on set. And when I’m craving something sweet, I’ll have my pineapple chips or always make sure to eat a salad before I have something else just so I’ll be a little more full and not want double up on the main course. I think it’s just finding a balance and not cutting anything out. I hate that; I hardly ever diet. I think it is just about making smart choices when you can’t get a workout in.

  B: You mentioned pineapple chips; what are some more of your favorite guilt-free snacks?
  SM: I’m a pro at making kale chips. I know that was all the rage a while ago, but I still think I make the best ones. I do Brussels sprout chips quite a bit, and I make fruit schikabobs, as I call them. They are like fruit skewers, and I will always have them in my fridge because they are easy to grab and go. And then watermelon with cinnamon.

  B: How do you navigate the craft-service table?
  SM: It’s called sharing. So instead of having my own, I’ll share with Ashley Benson. She’s probably my food partner in crime, so if she’s craving something, I’ll be like, “Let’s split it.” That’s how I do the craft table.

  B: You’ve only got 20 minutes to work out. What do you do?
  SM: Sprints. I’ll just go out on my street or find a good staircase and run up and down it. Twenty minutes is definitely enough. 

  B: Do you have a favorite do-anywhere exercise?
  SM: Just taking a skipping rope with you wherever you are is such a good idea because it’s such an amazing workout. It’s the easiest, and I can bring it with me anywhere. And you only need a small amount of space.

  B: What’s the best tip you’ve received from your trainer Gunnar?
  SM: He is all about eating well, too. I’ll go to him and get the most insane workout, and then afterward, he’ll be like, “Okay, Shay, you can’t go and have pizza the minute you walk out this door. You have to eat well.” He is all about taking your workout with you on the go. He knows how much I travel, so it was his idea to take the jumping rope and to do squats in the hotel room.

Former X Factor star Fleur East shows off her famous washboard stomach in white bikini at Ibiza beach party

By SARA MALM FOR MAILONLINE

Singer Fleur East made her mark on the X Factor stage with her incredible rendition of Uptown Funk - and her amazing abs.

The 27-year-old singer showed off her gym-honed body as she celebrated August Bank Holiday in Ibiza this weekend.

She was seen turning heads in a white bikini, proving that it is going to take a lot for this year's X Factor crop to beat her when it comes to fitness.

Rock hard: Former X Factor Fleur East showed off her abs credentials at a Lipsy beach party in Ibiza over the weekend 

Fleur, who is set to release her debut album this year, enjoyed bottles of bubbles by the pool before splashing around in the water with fellow partygoers.

Initially struggling to open the bottle, Fleur, originally from Walthamstow, London, suffered a fizzy wine-related mishap - spraying the beverage over the table.

In addition to the white bikini, the singer wore a number of gold accessories to glam up her beach outfit, including several necklaces and bracelets.

The singer, who came second on the X Factor last year, later covered her body in gold bodyglitter and was seen dancing in the pool.

Party on: Fleur often showed off her fabulous abs on the X Factor stage, and this Bank Holiday was no different

Dressed for success: As well as releasing her debut album this year, Fleur is launching her first clothing line with high street label Lipsy in September

Living it up: The 27-year-old worked as a cocktail waitress and fitness model in order to support her dream before coming second on X Factor last year

Having spent much of the summer in Los Angeles busy recording her debut album, Fleur is now back on the scene in Europe ahead of her album launch later this year.

As she gears up to release her new music - on Simon Cowell's SyCo lable, where else - she is also launching her debut clothing line with high street label Lipsy.

The starlet is the latest in a string of celebs to collaborate with Lipsy, following the likes of Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, who teamed up for their sell-out Kardashian Kollection previously.

Fleur will also follow in the footsteps of former Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan, whose line with the brand has also flown off the shelves.

Launching this September, the collection will comprise of around 20 pieces that have been co-designed with Fleur alongside Lipsy's in-house design team.

She said: 'I am very excited to venture into the world of fashion with Lipsy.

'I have been extremely hands on with the design process working closely with the Lipsy team at their head office, incorporating my personal style as well as looking at trends and design techniques that I am inspired by. I can't wait to share the range with everyone.'

The superfit Londoner is also set to release her debut album this autumn, announcing in Twitter earlier this summer that her music is 'almost ready'.
