Get updates from Philippa Warr:
X Factor alumna Diana Vickers showed off some distinctly unseasonal style as she took to the stage at Manchester's Deaf Institute wearing a Christmassy tinsel tree outfit.
We feel like we can't judge DV too harshly on the Christmas tree/tinsel front, mostly because in between seeing the pictures and writing this story our iTunes played Elton John's Step Into Christmas BUT there is a secondary piece of style wisdom which definitely applies....
In the words of the MIGHTY Tim Gunn, Project Runway mentor and speaker of sense:
"If you have to ask if a clothing item is a dress or a top, it is always a top."

Oh, how we're lusting after the perfectly-swept, Bardot-esque fringe that Kate Moss is famous for. Bronzed cheeks and her trademark cat's eyes complement the just-got-out-of-bed styling.
