So while we were loving the star style and festival beauty on show at this year's V Festival, we couldn't help but notice that there were some seriously bronzed bods on display in the sunshine, too.

And it all made sense once we paid a little visit to the St Tropez tent in the Virgin Media Louder Lounge...

The lovely ladies inside their pop-up tanning hut were treating celebs and lucky festival-goers to some tanning treats to complete their festival look - whether it was just a touch of shimmer, or a full on whole body spray tan.

Naturally, MyDaily popped in for a quick bronze-up (so we can highly recommend both the Wash-off Instant Glow Mousse, and the gold Skin Illuminator) and got all the backstage V Fest gossip.

Turns out we weren't the only ones to get our tan on over the course of the weekend. Ellie Goulding popped in to stock up on the St. Tropez SPF range to help protect her fair skin from the sun, which happened to be shining down hard on the Chelmsford site that day (smart girl.)

Alexandra Burke was given the VIP treatment, paying a late-night visit to the St. Tropez tent - revealing that she's a huge fan of the brands skin finishing products, particularly the Shimmer Stick.

We also spied Stacey Solomon, Elen Rivas and hot new girlband on the block Parade popping inside the hut for some St Tropez treats.

So if you fancy getting your tan on, why not follow suit? After all, a faux glow is far preferable to sun-damaged skin...
