Maxi dresses and skirts in the styles of Nicole Scherzinger and Nicole Richie..

Earlier this year, there were reports that our favourite F1 couple Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger of the pussy cat dolls had split. The couple later confirmed they have decided to go their separate ways to focus fully on their careers. I wondered why people so perfectly fit would decide to go separate ways... especially their fashion compatibility. Lewis Hamilton’s love for casual clothing isn't unexpected bearing in mind he is a sportsman, but Nicole is a natural when it comes to casual dressing particularly as she has carved her niche as a Bohemian princess...Who would have thought this considering her sexy persona as part of the pussy cat dolls... She is different off stage and perfectly suited to the style personality of Lewis Hamilton...Also, being that she would have to frequent the race track often ..I'm not very sure the race court is stiletto look compliant.


It's not all gloom as our favourite couple are back and stronger than ever, many must have expected this. I‘m particularly glad that I will enjoy the photo grabbing opportunities, to catch up on what Nicole might be wearing



Nicole's style is bohemian/gypsy and at times Grecian. She particular likes light earthly colours and floral fabrics. I love to refer to her as the queen of Maxi’s. Her style easily transcends from beachwear, holiday wear, casual, warm and tropical..... Classically, she still happens to pull the look on the red carpet. However she wears it, it oozes sexiness, class and style. Her style is comfortable yet stylish ...Whoever can look this stylish in flat shoes and gypsy skirts...Well Nicole can.



I've been wondering if it's a 'Nicole' thing as the other famous Nicole on the planet 'Nicole Richie' spots a similar style. Not only do they share the same name, they share the love of Maxi dresses. You could say Nicole's look is due to the fact, she is hardly seen these days without a baby bump but hey...she spots the Bohemian/Hippy look well, casually or on the red carpet...This has now become her very own trademark and has designed a similar maternity range. Funny enough Nicole's Rocker Husband Joel Maddens style is on the casual side too, which makes them pretty compatible. I'm wondering if the dress sense of both ladies had anything to do with the initial attraction by both Lewis Hamilton and Joel Madden...talking about style compatibility: Is It an absolute must????
