Masterpiece Or Disaster Piece: Anna Friel's Two-tone 'Gorilla' Coat And Thigh High Boots

Get updates from Ellen Stewart:

Who? Anna Friel

What? We love Anna's two-tone faux fur and we're quite partial to those boots too, BUT (and it's a big'un) the two together oh no no no... In this pic, Anna looks as though she can't quite believe what she's wearing.

Where?
Post-performance at the Vaudeville Theatre, London

Verdict? After catching sight of Anna in this wild ensemble we might have to make a note of the two Autumn/Winter trends that should never be worn together. Keep those thigh-highs and furry numbers separate ladies.

We reckon, Anna's outfit is a tad outdated and had Team MyDaily caught in a fit of 80s flashbacks. Take a peek at our gallery of 1980s style, and let us know if you agree.
