WHO? Mel C, aka Sporty Spice

WHAT? The singer turned presenter at the Liverpool Music Awards at Central Hall in Liverpool on Saturday night, and looked every bit the siren in a red fitted frock with draped detail. She kept hair sleek and straight and added some tough-girl appeal with leather studded booties and a black leather chain strap handbag.

VERDICT? Mel's been un-spicing her wardrobe and favouring simpler silhouettes that highlight her toned body of late, and we think this new look is working for her. It's also a much more elegant option than her ab-flashing dressing of days past (and not so long ago).

The outfit is a total miss, with all the beautiful dresses and shoes out there and she
dresses like this, looks as if it was just put together in the last minute, not nice, and
not a good look.

she might be described as a "siren" if you cover up the fact, the tats and take off the shoes. Other than that she is a total mess.

She certainly looks more attractive at this age and in this style than she ever did as a Spice Girl. But she should be a lesson to all young women - having a body that it seems as though people have drawn on is NOT a good image. Tattoos make you appear cheap and tacky. She would be so much better without them. And imagine how much worse they will look on her in 10, 20, 30 years time.
