Nicola Roberts with bizarre playsuit at Topshop catwalk

Good to see you found a use for gran's curtains! Nicola Roberts fails to get it right with bizarre playsuit at Topshop catwalk
By Daily Mail Reporter

You've got to give the girl credit for experimenting.

But Nicola Roberts didn't quite get it right as she stepped out in a playsuit older than her years at the Topshop London Fashion Week show.

The Girls Aloud star has been busy carving her career out as a fashion icon, but she ended up dressing older than her 25 years at the Old Eurostar Station in Waterloo and looked ready to collect the children.

Fashion faux pas: While her face and hair looked elegant, Nicola's outfit left a lot to be desired for at the Old Eurostar Station in Waterloo

The all-in-one had potential, in terms of flattering Nicola's petite frame.

But the combination of dull grey and fire red, along with the bold patterns and chunky gold bracelet, wasn't too pleasing on the eye and looked as though she had raided her mother's dressing up box from the eighties.

Coupled with her unusual nude coloured ankle boots, even the popstar looked a little uncomfortable in her attire as if a stylist had picked it for her.

Yesterday, Nicola started doing the rounds at LFW by sporting sunglasses almost as large as her head as she attended the House of Holland show.

She also appeared to have taken style tips from Mary-Kate Olsen by opting for granny chic with an ill-fitting ankle length skirt and mish-mashing it together with a grey T-shirt emblazoned with 'To Bear Or Not To Bear'.

But one thing Nicola has got right, is celebrating her hair colour.

To coincide with the release of her second solo single Lucky Day today, the redhead beauty encouraged her Twitter followers to buy it by addressing them as 'Team Ginge'.

Bingo: Nicola can get it right when she puts her mind to it, as she proved ahead of the Bora Aksu show on Friday
