STYLIST WITH THE X FACTOR

-

STYLIST Angie Smith made her name by dressing Dannii Minogue for The X Factor. Now she dresses Holly for This Morning — and regularly hits the spot with High Street outfits which sell out almost instantly.

She also works with Christine Lampard, Amanda Holden and Rochelle Humes — and is helping the Spice Girls with outfits for their reunion tour.

Ms Smith started out as a humble ‘style assistant’ on FHM magazine then began styling celebritie­s for fashion shoots and offering personal fashion consultati­ons. Her inspiratio­ns are Emmanuelle Alt and Carine Roitfeld — the current and ex editors of French Vogue.

In an interview, she said: ‘I always liked giving my friends make-overs and seeing how great they felt if I chose their outfit and did their make-up before we went out. I didn’t even know what a stylist was before I went to do work experience on a magazine.’

She was an early champion of London-based designer Emilia Wickstead. Holly said of Angie: ‘I’ve learnt from her. I’ve learnt that with all of my clothes. I’m like a little sponge, it becomes more natural after you have been doing it for a long time.’

Angie shared photos of the journey to Australia on Instagram, of her and make-up artist Patsy O’Neill sharing glasses of champagne in business class. There was a rare faux pas this week when Holly was dressed in a sweater with a logo on it — which UTV had to blur out lest it count as brand advertisin­g.

Holly shares snaps of her outfits and where she got them with her 4.4million Instagram followers. Her outfit on Wednesday included a €160 shirt by edgy label Ba&sh, and a €34.37 Madewell denim miniskirt.
