It is meant to showcase the very best of sartorial splendour, but Paris Men’s Fashion Week was overshadowed by A-list disasters Thursday.

Kayne West and his girlfriend Amber Rose proved the most serious offenders as they both stepped out in the French capital in dramatic — and rather ghastly — long fur coats.

Model Amber liked her hooded lynx fur jacket so much that she refused to take it off as they took their seats front row at the Louis Vuitton catwalk show. In another move sure to outrage PETA supporters, she was later seen in a bizarre cropped orange jacket that featured tufts of fur.

But Kayne and Amber weren’t the only stars committing a crime against fashion in the city — singer Beyoncé was spotted leaving a restaurant wearing a strange pair of studded leather gloves.

She was spotted leaving the L’Avenue restaurant with her husband Jay-Z, who was dressed in casual jeans and a hooded jumper.

She is known for her experimental style on stage, but last night the S&M-inspired accessory seemed rather out of place for a dinner date. She kept in theme with a pair of studded leggings but then topped it all off with a frayed bouclé jacket.

Add to the mix a pair of after-dark Ray Ban sunglasses and it turned out to be one of her more ridiculous efforts.

Lily Allen reveals her dimply thighs

An energetic Lily Allen was awash with technicolour as she took to the stage in Sydney yesterday wearing a bright hooded kaftan and cheeky leopard print bloomers.

But her incredibly dazzling costume wasn’t enough to distract from one unfortunate body blight — her dimply thighs.

As the 24-year-old paraded around on stage at the city’s Big Day Out music festival, her touch of cellulite was on display.

Britney Spears works out in the gym

Typically, preparing for a court date involves putting on a smart outfit in the hope of making a good impression.

Not so for Britney Spears, who instead paid a visit to the gym to gear up for her impending appearance yesterday evening.

The pop superstar, 28, appeared to have had an energetic workout as she left the Spectrum Sports Club in Thousand Oaks, California, dripping with sweat. She wore a T-shirt with a picture of former US President Richard Nixon printed on it with his nickname ‘Dick’ underneath.

Hayden Panettiere goes red

A newly redhead Hayden Panettiere finally flew out of Miami Wednesday after a romantic month holed up with latest boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko.

The Heroes actress, 20, has spent the past few weeks sunning herself with the Ukranian boxing champ, 33, after he invited her to join him in Florida for New Year.

As well as getting to know Klitschko, it appeared the young star also decided to dye her previously blonde hair red over the holidays.
