Strictly Come Dancing’s winner Kara Tointon poses cabaret style to promote the Euromillions Millionaire Raffle Draw on Christmas Eve!

Looking like Liza Minnelli, Kara wears a black waistcoat, black big knickers and very seductive stockings with a suspender belt.  Again, the burlesque/seductive/black lingerie look is hitting the celebs and magazines.

Hold ups and mock suspender tights have been a huge hit for us this season.  With the weather being like it is, we all definitely need tights to wear to keep warm(er!).  The Henry Holland Super Suspenders, the Bandana Suspenders and Wolford Satin Touch 20 Hold Ups have been in a great demand.

Keep up the underwear as outerwear trend over Christmas, it’s a perfect look for NYE!

It has now come to a time where I couldn’t think of anything worse than a White Christmas.  The snow in Birmingham is horrendous, it was as if I was pulling my suitcase across a beach last night!

As I’ve woken up this week and shivered as I got out of bed, I’ve been thinking how many pairs of tights and shapewear can I put on under my trousers!  Shapewear doesn’t just suck you in, it also keeps you warm!  The Spanx Power Panties have come in very handy, and I very nearly put Spanx Higher Power over the top of those too!

All of my Henry Holland tights aren’t being used as a fashion accessory at the moment, they’re all being layered up and the patterns are colliding and clashing together!

Keep warm please with shapewear and hosiery!  Who thought we’d be buying lingerie to keep warm, bye bye scarves and gloves!

Wearing a short, short and tight dress is never great for jumping around in.  Alesha Dixon found this out last night at the BT Visit London Awards.

Dressed up to the nines in a short, silvery, one shouldered number, as Alesha strutted her stuff whilst performing songs off her new album.  These songs involved an energetic dance routine, and occasionally, we saw a little more than we had liked!

She did the odd flash of her briefs from time to time!  She definitely could have done with a longer dress, and I also hope she wasn’t wearing a thong!

In these situations, briefs and shorts are always better than a thong!  Showing as little as possible leaves more for imagination…

I find it hilarious when I stumble across amusing stories, and I struggle to tell whether they’re fake or not!

You can’t tell with the news these days, as the most ridiculous stories regarding lingerie are frequently true!

So I’ve just come across one about the Queens knickers being auctioned off, and they could go for around $9000.  ’Apparently’ Queen Elizabeth left her briefs on a plane in Chille, and the man who had them has now unfortunately died.

It got me thinking, if knickers were sold like second hand shoes etc (obviously disgusting I know) how much would they go for?

I mean, mine are obviously worth a few million……….. Hmm.  Also, if you bought the Queen’s knickers, what would you actually do with them?  Frame them and place them in prime position in the living room?  Have them on the wall in the dining room and put everyone off eating?  I suppose it would be a selling point and conversation starter.. “Here, look, here’s the ‘Queens Triumph Amourette Maxis’ on the wall.”

Very strange.. I’d love to find out if this is actually a true story!

As I always say, I hate black clothing with white lingerie underneath — it looks wrong.

Why wear white underwear, when you have black?  On the other hand, I’d probably still wear a black bra with light coloured clothing, unless it was a smart do!

Michelle Keegan, from Coronation Street, attended the the annual United For Unicef gala dinner at Manchester United’s Old Trafford ground last night, and for once, she didn’t make a great impression.

From the front, she looked stunning in a floor length black gown, however, when she turned around, white underwear was showing through the sheer fabric!  White shorts under a black dress are not a good look!

The shorts actually look like the Triumph Amourette Maxi Brief, or the Sloggi Basic Maxi Brief!

It seems Michelle is also a fan of Bridget Jones style pants!  I think I need to send the Corrie star some black lingerie!

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen paraded round St Barts yesterday in the shortest shorts possible!  These hotpants/knickers were accompanied by a white vest and beige jacket and Vivienne Westwood boots, so not exactly what you’d thing about teaming with knicker shorts!

I wonder if she forgot her trousers?  I suppose it’s a good job she wasn’t wearing a thong!

She used to model for Victoria’s Secret, so I guess she’s used to showing off her body!  And as she’s the highest paid model in the world, she can pretty much do and wear what she likes!

If she can waltz around in hotpants and lingerie, so can we!

Lady Gaga is well known for her raunchy and outrageous outfit choices, and she’s also known as being a drama queen!

Being the full blown diva, Gaga has now said she will only wear 100% silk knickers, and is moving onto the idea that all her lingerie should be silk.

She’s replaced all her old knickers, and has banned all polyester, cotton and lycra, with the newly demanded silk ones — which has added up to an astonishing £7000!  It’s driving her assistant crazy, she’s really taking this fetish seriously.

She said that the silk feels soft on her skin, and allows her skin to breathe, which will allow her to be more creative with her songs, and more efficient.  If you say so Gaga!

Rock chick rebel Courtney Love has been up to her old mischievous antics again by posting risque photos on her twitter.

Kissing a female friend on one, and then posing in her lingerie on others, she’s obviously not stopped with the partying and silly behaviour!

On an armchair in brown bra and knickers, the rocker is obviously, off her rocker at this point!  She has previously blamed alcohol and anti-depressants for her behaviour, and we all really hope she can pull herself together!

The 46 year old does still look great, with a slim and toned figure, however, a stunt like this is definitely not appropriate for someone her age, or anyone for that matter!

It’s always hilarious to see celeb’s lingerie mistakes, especially when their knickers are showing or it’s just a disaster.  Well, this is both!

Eva Longoria has always looked classy and elegant, and she did on the red carpet at the MTV Awards in Madrid.  From the front that is!

When she turned around, her knickers were showing through a gap in the back of the black satin dress she was wearing.  The maid style dress was very big and flamboyant from the front, but there was little evidence of much clothing at all from the rear!

Showing big Bridget-Jones like knickers, Eva managed to quickly lose that sexy and sophisticated look!

Have a good weekend! xxx

Prince William and Kate Middleton are set to marry next year, after William proposed with a very special ring.

He gave Kate his mother’s, Diana, ring to ask for his hand in marriage – so sweet!  He proposed in Kenya last month while they were on holiday there, and they are planning the wedding for sometime next year.

Now what we all want to know, is what is stylish Kate’s dress going to look like, and I want to know of course, what bridal lingerie is she going to choose?

I’d be happy to send her lots and lots of choice from our fabulous wedding underwear section!

CONGRATULATIONS!! From all at Lingerie Please.
