Strictly Come Dancing's Georgia May Foote puts on sexy display in slashed dress... before irate Len Goodman scolds partner Giovanni Pernice in shocking outburst

He's a man who rarely loses his cool.
But Len Goodman lost his temper on Saturday's episode of Strictly Come Dancing as he put professional dancer Giovanni Pernice and his celebrity partner Georgia May Foote in their place.
The couple had just performed an incredibly steamy Rumba to Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall, with the 24-year-old former Coronation Street star looking particularly striking in a figure-hugging, slashed black dress.
Scroll down for video 
Steamy indeed: Georgia May Foote looked incredible as she put on an intimate performance of the Rumba with Giovanni Pernice on Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing
However, after their intimate performance, head judge Len couldn't bite his tongue when it came to giving her and her partner, a newcomer to Strictly, a dressing-down.
Although not particularly clear as to why he erupted at the couple, he waved his finger as he scolded them: 'Look at you.'
It seems that Len was remarking to Giovanni's reaction to the other judges' comments beforehand, as he shook his head in disagreement.
He went on: 'All that shaking your head really gets on my wick so I'm going to tell you the truth.

Awkward: Newcomer to Strictly Giovanni had shaken his head, while Georgia was left blushing after Len's comments
'Too much posturing, posing and larking about. Two openings and one forward basic does not constitute a Rumba in my world!'
Presenter Tess Daly then tried her best to make light of the situation - which caused Georgia to look notably mortified - joking: 'That's a smack on the wrist for you Giovanni. You won't be doing that again!'
And afterwards, as they went to chat to Claudia Winklemen, she advised him: 'So you made Len angry and Len never gets angry. Never shake your head when they speak.' 
His outburst shocked viewers at home, who took to Twitter to express their surprise and disgust at his anger.
One fan wrote: 'I think that was quite unprofessional and uncalled for from @GrumpyLGoodman. #Strictly.'


Not impressed: But head judge Len Goodman was less than thrilled at pro dancer Giovanni's head-shaking, scolding him for 'getting on my wick' and for 'larking about'

One fan wrote: 'I think that was quite unprofessional and uncalled for from @GrumpyLGoodman. #Strictly.'
Over she goes: Although they didn't completely win over the judges, it's fair to say they danced a memorable routine on Saturday
She wore a flesh-flashing black dress with cleavage-baring slash across the front, while Giovanni gave a glimpse of chest during the intimate routine.
At one point, their thrilling routine was kicked up a notch as he seemingly flung her backwards, allowing her to reveal her lovely legs in the sexy garment.
Bruno said of their dance, after finishing: 'I thought it was a very nice Rumba. I know what you were trying to do... You were trying to get in the vampish bond girl mood.
Craig added: 'I totally agree with Bruno on that point - your spins are so clean, I love all the drama, you have strong lines... I absolutely loved it.'
'It had plenty of intensity,' Darcey added with agreement. 'As soon as he got hold of you you could feel it. I would only say with a Rumba it could have been larger and more languid.'

The Female Photographers Taking The Industry By Storm

The convergence of feminism and fashion photography is bigger than ever. The use of the internet, as well as other social platforms such as Tumblr and Instagram, has prompted a massive boom in self-promotion, which means we’re seeing people surface beyond those that have caught the attention of the usual popular magazines.  
A girl gang of independent, fresh, young and self-confidant girls are taking the fashion photography industry by storm. Depicting females in refreshingly realistic ways, without any of the fairy tale photoshopping or glamorous getups. These women are putting real girls back on the map in an inspirational and empowering way. 

Arvida Byström

Arvida’s pastel colour-palette and self-portraiture has gained her more than 90k followers on Instagram. The Tumblr Queen uses the internet in every way possible, expressing everything from gender expectations to sexuality. Don’t let the pretty pink pastel backgrounds, coupled with her innocent pink hair, fool you. Her elegant images touch on important taboo issues such as female body hair and periods.

She even recently started creating video art with the recent launch of her Selfie Stick Aerobics video, yes you heard me selfie stick aerobics. We couldn’t believe it either but its real.  It’s no wonder this cool girl has worked with i-D, Nasty Gal, Wonderland Magazine and Vice, just to name a few.

Valerie Phillips has worked closely with Arvida and it’s easy to see why. Valerie also has a love of everything nostalgic from her youth. That means a lot of stickers, colourful hair and other pink wistful items.
Her photography focuses on bringing honest representations of girls back onto the scene. She depicts beauty in a similar way to which a young girl would before she grows up to know the full spectrum of the media’s glossy beauty notions. Her portraits are refreshingly honest and candid, showing the innocence of young girls with no make up and unwashed hair.

Valerie has produced several photo books including a book titled “Stop asking me about Amy I only spent one day with her”. A collection of images she took when she spent a day with Amy Winehouse before her death in 2011.

Petra is considered one of Canada’s top young photographers and is a main catalyst in feminist art becoming mainstream. She creates a visual guide to girl power and chances are, if you have an Instagram, account you will recognise her work. She focuses on uncovering what is hidden or repressed from our culture.  She controversially created a line of t-shirts for American Apparel in 2013 with images of vaginas, breasts, menstrual blood – you name it, she’s done it.

The sometimes uncomfortable imagery however, is often overtaken by the pure beauty she manages to capture. Collins also had her Instagram deleted that same year for posting a picture that showed her pubic hair emerging from her bikini bottoms.

She recently curated a book called ‘Babe’, a collection of work by female artists who are all capturing the voices of young woman today.

Nadia’s photography caught everybody’s eye for being truly unique. Her work perfectly combines both modern and vintage styles in a way we didn’t think was possible. Her pieces often have a 60s and 70s vibe with oversaturated colours, vintage props and lots of dressing up. No one can beat her setting of a scene and her styling of her subjects anywhere from a fast food chain to vintage boudoir.

Mayan has created our perfect teen dreamland in a series of images and we just cant get enough. Her dreamy, soft environments help to act as a form of escapism. The nostalgia can’t help but take you back to all those happy teen years in your bedroom, so we never want to stop looking at them. Just put on some Boyzone or Hear’say and sink right back to your youth.

Maisie Cousins, from London, concentrates on exploring themes of power and femininity mixed in with nature and technology. She recently took part in an all-girl exhibition ‘Female Matters’. Her art shows an unusual mix of substances that immediately catch your eye, snail on a boob anyone? However, the unusual mix always has a certain intriguing elegance that makes us unable to look away.

Earlier this year Rupi’s ‘Period’ series went viral after it was removed from Instagram not once, but twice. The photograph that shows a woman lying on a bed wearing clothes stained with menstrual blood has now been seen over 30 million times.  She proved an important message about what is depicted as a ‘violation’. Half of the population get periods and have probably woken up like that at least once, so why should it be censored. Her artistic work certainly does touch a nerve and we can’t wait to see what this young artist does next.

Cindy Crawford Braless Photo shoot

She made a name for herself as one of the original supermodels in the 90s.
And two decades on, Cindy Crawford still looks as fabulous as ever, with the 49-year-old fashion icon proving she's still got what it takes during a sexy photography session in Malibu on Sunday.
All eyes were on the stunning star as she donned three dramatic looks for the beachfront shoot.
Cindy recently sent the internet into meltdown when unretouched images of her in a 2013 Marie Claire editorial spread surfaced online.


Fans lavished praise upon the star for setting realistic expectations of beauty thanks to her all-natural figure.
The US version of the magazine released a statement saying the image reveals 'a body that defies expectations - it is real, it is honest, and it is gorgeous.'

Louise Thompson in floral mini dress on Her Birthday Celebration

Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson was out and about in South West London to celebrate her birthday on Friday night.
The pint sized beauty chose to mix up her prints for the evening with a floral mini dress and multi-coloured striped handbag.
She also turned to her favourite black fur-trimmed coat to keep warm.

She kept her hair in a simple loose style with a light curl at the ends.
Louise was celebrating in Fulham after being spoilt all day - she was served a birthday breakfast of poached eggs, bacon spinach and avocado earlier in the morning.
The TV personality wasn't alone for her festivities and was joined by good friend Rosie Fortescue.

Christine Bleakley keeps it casual in skinny jeans

She's effortlessly stylish both on and off the small screen.
And it would seem the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Christine Bleakley's sartorial sensibilities .
The 36-year-old TV presenter kept it casual in a chic ensemble as she hit the shops in London on Thursday morning with her mother, Mina.  
In keeping with her signature style, the TV star wore a pair of figure-hugging skinny jeans with a rust crew-neck top and an oversized biscuit-coloured cashmere jacket, she matched her look a designer handbag in slate grey.
She capped the look with a pair of Isabel Marant ankle boots, which - rather impressively - retail for more than £629.
Meanwhile, her mother was turned out in similar threads, with skinny trousers and a matching ensemble with co-ordinated cardigan and handbag.

Denim spring summer 2015

Things are a bit different in 2015. The anonymity of the five-pocket jean – something that no doubt appealed to Warhol, a man obsessed with the tastes of the multitude – is no longer the thing. Now, it’s about making something that is hugely familiar into something new. Denim dresses, coats, culottes and boots all featured heavily in the spring collections. Commercially, this is the key mix to make people stump up for denim with four-figure price tags. Net-a-porter have also collaborated with Levi’s for the first time, to create three pairs of exclusive customised 501s, and matchesfashion.com has relaunched its Denim Studio to focus on designer brands. Damien Paul, head of menswear at the site, thinks it’s all about a change of context – taking denim away from the classic jeans. “What’s so interesting this season is that designers are thinking about denim more broadly, and using it in different ways,” he says. “I loved the roomy, gently oversized shapes at Yohji Yamamoto, Craig Green and Christophe Lemaire, who all showed head-to-toe denim looks.”

Marques Almeida could win the prize for modern denim innovation. It is not an exaggeration to say that this tiny London label, founded by Portuguese couple Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida in 2011, changed denim’s place in fashion. Their graduate collection was almost entirely made from the fabric. It came as baggy dresses, crop tops, shift dresses and even legwarmers. The shredded edges and boxy shapes felt new, but the real game changer? Not a pair of jeans in sight.

Paris fashion week: Alexander McQueen show finds beauty in blemishes

 The very last moments before its petals begin to drop are when a rose is at its most beautiful. This was the idea at the core of Sarah Burton’s latest Alexander McQueen collection, staged at the Conciergerie in Paris, the vaulted dungeon where Marie Antoinette was held before being taken to the guillotine.

“I started by looking at women and the female form and the rose, and the idea that something can be so beautiful as it is on the verge of decay,” said Burton after Tuesday’s show.
The collection began with models belted firmly into textured coats worn over dresses and boots, each outfit coloured head-to-toe in the exact same shade of blush pink or blood red, garments layered like petals.

“And then she peels away, the way a rose peels away,” as Burton put it, so that the next wave of models wore leather dresses, with knife-sharp pleated skirts and heavily boned, but skimpily cut, bodices. From there, the petals became three-dimensional, outsize organza rosettes quivering on cocktail dresses.

This is a delicate moment for Sarah Burton to navigate. The brand’s big show taking place this week is not this one, but Savage Beauty, the V&A’s Alexander McQueen retrospective, which opens in three days’ time.

Her task at this moment is to balance respect for the retrospective with a firm hand on the tiller guiding the label into the future. The beauty of a fading flower was a fittingly melancholic nod to love and loss, but Burton made it not just about any flower but about the rose, symbol of femininity. It brought the story full circle: not just about her predecessor but about herself and about the more feminine mood she has ushered in as the queen of McQueen.

Thirteen years ago, Alexander McQueen staged a show in this venue. Then, the milkmaid necklines, oversized hoods and powdered beauties holding wolves on chains brought to life the building’s French Revolution past.

Burton’s show was more Victorian than 18th century, and more British than French. Fuzzy Miss Havisham hair and nineteenth-century tailoring – both, as Burton described, “very of-the-house” – leant the feel of an eerie attic rather than a nightmarish dungeon. And the rose is of course the ultimate English flower – although the pleated leather skirts, with their confusing masculine/feminine dynamic, called to mind a kilt, which in turn calls Alexander McQueen’s Highland Rape-era Scottish references into play.
After the show, Burton was keen to show reporters a knitted dress with scissor-edged pleats. In the shadowy recesses of each pleat, the knit was delicately and deliberately laddered, giving a volume and sheerness to the fabric which enhanced its beauty even while destroying it.

At that moment, Burton was almost knocked to the ground by a waiter who in the backstage hustle dropped a tray of champagne glasses. “There is beauty in imperfection,” she laughed.

Amanda Holden has been mixing up her style as she introduces her spring wardrobe.
The 44-year-old looked very smart in a blue denim shirt which she wore with cropped black trousers and nude heels as she presented Wednesday's episode of This Morning.
The day before, she looked great once again in a pretty floral form-fitting midi dress which showed off her slim physique.

Red-carpet revolt? Get real, the Oscars will always be about the dress

I read an article earlier this year in an American newspaper that said “a revolt” was beginning on the red carpet among female celebrities. Did this revolt happen?

Oh my God, Caroline, how could you have missed it? It was veritable bloodshed at the Oscars, I tell you – bloodshed! Julianne Moore decapitated E!’s Giuliana Rancic for asking “Who are you wearing?”; Reese Witherspoon stabbed Ryan Seacrest when he tried to put her hand in the mani-cam, and Patricia Arquette turned up in a burlap sack, flummoxing fashion editors who weren’t sure if she was making a statement or was this made-to-order Balenciaga? Behind all the carnage, the rest of the female celebrities marched down waving banners and chanting slogans: “No, no, we won’t go, the red carpet is a load of bull!”

I jest. Nothing of the sort happened. There has been talk for some time of an imminent red-carpet revolution, including, I’m proud to say, in this very column, which last year promised a full-on massacre of entertainment journalists. The New York Times, which always takes its editorial direction from this column, followed a year later (try to keep up, New York Times!), promising that “On the red carpet, a revolt builds over pageantry.”

And did this revolt happen? In all honesty, it did not. There were some half-hearted changes from the Oscars red-carpet coverage this year – E! ditched the mani-cam and there was a vague attempt on the part of some entertainment journalists to ask female celebrities about something other than their dresses. #askhermore, urged the social media hashtag (and you just knew there’d be a hashtag behind this, didn’t you? It’s a wonder how the suffragettes got off the ground without one). Unfortunately, no one remembered until it was too late that the only subjects most US actresses like to talk to journalists about, when not shilling clothes, are their amazing charitable contributions, how wonderful and amazing everyone they work with is and what an incredible calling the acting profession truly is. Great TV this does not make, and while watching women being commanded to flaunt their manicures wasn’t much fun either, I don’t think anyone watching the Oscars was convinced we’d arrived at a long-term solution.

It is, clearly, ridiculous that actors are expected to gussy themselves up like My Little Ponies to go to what is essentially an industry event, and that careers can be made and broken by the choosing of a dress. But that is the nature of the beast that has been built by the media, fashion designers and, yes, female celebrities working in cahoots, and not one of them is willing to break this bond. After all, celebrities have long since crossed over into being fashion models, as a glance at the covers of fashion magazines, which are now dominated by actors, not models, proves.

Reese Witherspoon was especially outspoken this year about the need for actresses to be asked about more than their clothes: “Let’s hear their stories!” she battlecried before the Oscars. As she finished battlecrying, she put down her megaphone and posed for a photo in her Oscars outfit, which she tweeted, detailing the source of everything she was wearing, from her dress to her jewels to something she referred to as her “glow”. The other female celebrities were similarly keen to give shout-outs to their designers. Perhaps those are their stories?

And just to prove that nothing’s really changed, E!’s indefatigable Rancic was so characteristically tenacious in her fashion criticism about the Oscars that one particular opinion verged on racist when she snarked that US actor Zendaya’s dreadlocks looked like they smelled of marijuana. Rancic later apologised, although in today’s social media climate I’m not sure if she felt bad about the racism or the failure to #askhermore.

No one looks to the Oscars for guidance about movies. If your innocence wasn’t destroyed when Crash won best film, then it must have been when Boyhood didn’t. For heaven’s sake, have you seen the people of the academy who vote for this? They make the Republican party look demographically diverse. No, the Oscars has become completely about the clothes, and this is because the media cover the event, female celebrities know they can get extra publicity by looking good and designers will take any free advertising they can get. The morning after, I turned on the TV in Los Angeles and, while reading analysis of the dresses in the New York Times, the LA Times and the British press, I was able to flick between – no exaggeration – five TV programmes debating the merits of the dresses. No one, it seemed, was too interested in the actors’ “stories”, but they were all fascinated by Julianne Moore’s gown: some of them liked it and – waddyaknow! – some of them didn’t, suggesting fashion analysis is not the objective scientific study it is sometimes portrayed as being.

I recently interviewed the wonderful Angela Lansbury. She recalled that, the first time she went to the Oscars, in 1945, there was no press on the red carpet. She wore a simple dress she’d bought, took her mother as her date and got on with her night. No matter how many social media hashtags are coined, the media still values female celebrities by their looks, and so do the vast majority of people who consume the media (not you. You’re far more intellectual). So, until the media stop covering the red carpet, it will always about the dress. And when will the media stop covering the red carpet, obsessing over actress’s looks and reducing them to show ponies? I can exclusively reveal that it will be at 10 past never.

Milan Fashion Week beauty: Hair accessories popped up at Prada, Gucci and more

Hair accessories: they’ve been a beauty trend for a few seasons, but while they look amazing on Karlie Kloss coming down the runway, they can sometimes be too theatrical to pull off IRL. (No offense, Sam McKnight’s crocodile tails.) Often made by the designers themselves, this caliber of hair jewellery costs more than all the bobby pins you’ve owned combined, and is often as hard to get your hands on as a wait-listed handbag.

Still, we’ve loved hair adornment since ponytail cones and banana clips were a thing, so there was a lot for us to love this season, from the metallic ponytail holders at Carolina Herrera in New York, to the leather headbands at Fendi that had their own security details. At Gucci, where it was Paul Hanlon’s first time keying the show, a handful of models wore flower or seashell combs that were nestled in their bed head hair, while others wore berets and headbands.

Shimmery barrettes anchored poofy side-ponies at Prada, and there was more decoration at Dolce and Gabbana, where motherhood was the inspiration behind the show. Palau tucked bright baubles and pearls into wispy chignons made to look like the lady of the house might have done it herself, during nap time. As pretty as the hair jewellery looked, it didn’t steal the show from the other, ahem, accessory on stage: babies! Another atypical accessory: headphones. A far cry from the humble ear bud, the bejeweled personal sound systems worn by some of the models were plugged into iPhones. (How 2015.) Maybe those busy moms finally got around to listening to Serial.
