Kelly Osbourne's awkward £2.9k corset showdown with famous pop star

It's been a little over a month since Kelly Osbourne made her red-carpet return at the National Television Awards 2026 in London.

The TV personality looked happy and healthy in her statement Vivienne Westwood look, donning the label's 'Tartan Off-The-Shoulder Chichi Gown' in a bold blue. The edgy designer look, which cost £2,985, boasted a sculptural, asymmetric silhouette with a full skirt that gathered and cascaded to the floor.

Vivienne Westwood's signature tartan check was expertly lacquered across the organza-cloqué fabric, and Kelly added a myriad of gold necklaces and statement earrings, with her blonde hair slicked back for added perfect punk precision.

Jade Thirlwall's similar look

Former Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall stepped out at the 2026 Mercury Prize at the Utilita Arena on Thursday evening, wearing the same designer dress. Choosing to style the gown differently, Jade wore her tumbling curly hair loose and left her jewellery at home, letting her statement dress do the talking. She added high heels by Christian Louboutin.

The legacy of Vivienne Westwood

In 2022, Vivienne died at the age of 81, with her family sharing that she passed away "peacefully" with them by her side in her Clapham home.

The fashion designer rose to fame in the 1970s and helped to pioneer the punk and new wave fashion trends that dominated the decade alongside her then-partner Malcolm McLaren. 

Vivienne later received the award for Fashion Designer of the Year for two years in a row in 1990 and 1991 by the British Fashion Council, going on to receive an O.B.E. at Buckingham Palace from the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1992.

Her clientele loved her unique designs, and she was known for dressing major celebrities, including Dita von Teese and Marion Cotillard.

In modern times, one of her most instantly recognisable dresses was Carrie Bradshaw's wedding gown, which made an appearance in the 2008 Sex and the City movie. 

Known as the 'Cloud' dress, it was first seen as part of the brand's Gold Label collection in 2007 and was actually re-designed for the fictional character.

Vivienne's designs were also loved by Princess Eugenie, who wore one of her outfits to the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales in 2011.
