Coleen gets award for dress sense



Coleen gets award for dress sense Readers of weekly fashion magazine Look have voted Coleen McLoughlin the UK's number one fashion role model.

Coleen, 21, was catapulted to fame after her boyfriend Wayne Rooney became a professional footballer and was ridiculed at the time for sporting a puffa jacket over her school uniform.

However, she has since become somewhat of a fashionista and has recently presented TV programmes such as Coleen's Real Women.

In a survey of 1,200 women McLoughlin topped the list, beating supermodel Kate Moss into second place.

Sienna Miller came third, above Victoria Beckham in fourth place. Fellow Wag Cheryl Cole came fifth.

Completing the list were Kylie Minogue, Gwen Stafani and Keira Knightley.

Ali Hall, editor of Look, explained the reasoning behind the voting and McLoughlin's appeal.

"Coleen has transformed herself from puffa jacket schoolgirl to style icon in just a few years. Women relate to her as she's more shapely than your average Wag. She doesn't mind splashing out on a designer 'it' item but mixes it with the great stuff available on the high street," she said.

The wedding of McLoughlin and fiance Rooney is set to take place this year, although the venue and date remain a secret. The day will be covered by celebrity magazine OK!.
