Temperley London's Autumn Winter 2012 show
As we watched Temperley London's show during Fashion Week in February, every one of us Graziettes was dreaming of being a princess. We gasped as glistening silk gowns with opulent jewelled straps and floor-sweeping cream lace robes glided down the catwalk in an Autumn Winter 2012 collection fittingly entitled Renaissance. Although the bulging fur hats were a tad too Russian spy for a young royal, it was hard not to imagine the Duchess of Cambridge swathed in the sumptuous eveningwear or choosing an elegant pencil skirt with lace ankle boots for a public outing. Kate has, after all, worn the British designer's pieces on several occassions and let's not forget her sister Pippa caused a stampede when she FROW'ed at Temperley's Spring Summer 2012 show.

Jennifer Lopez in Temperley London's gold jacket and how it was presented on the catwalk
So we admit to being somewhat surprised that rather than a Middleton being the first to step out in one of the AW12 creations, it was Jennifer Lopez. Oh yes. She was spotted at the American Idol studio last night rocking a gold sequin cropped jacket hot off the Temperley catwalk, but rather than channelling the collection's regal vibe, J-Lo stayed true to her ghetto fabulousness. Hats off to that! Not only did she pair the jacket with a pair of matching harem pants, she blinged it up with gold Jimmy Choo ‘Leila’ sandals and chunky Pomellato jewels, topped off by lashings of honey-toned extensions. Well, who'da thunk it!

Of course, the songstress is a bona fide pop princess so if anyone can transform Temperley's fairytale pieces into decadent urban wear, it's Jenny from the block. Commenters, however, have compared the look to a 'tacky '80s flashback'. Yikes! So we want to hear your verdict on Jennifer's golden girl look...



Sophie Culley (Mon Apr 30 10:19:28 BST 2012): oh my word. Temperley must be appalled. She makes it look vile.
Alexandra Kompseli II (Tue May 15 17:17:46 BST 2012): where can we find the harem pant? I adore it!
