'Hey Leona Lewis! Look! It’s the kooky fashion bandwagon rolling past! Quick! Jump on it!'

Yep, that’s exactly what St. Leona of Lewis has done this week in a somewhat feeble attempt to maintain our ever-dwindling interest. Clearly influenced by Simon Cowell’s blind devotion to the current wave of pop stars that look as if they’ve been popped outta the same anodyne cookie-cutter mold, the once oh-so-innocent-yet-bland Leona shoved herself into a high-waisted skirt and sheer crop top, with only some oversized lips to protect her modesty. The ever creative X-Factor winner then totally mixed it up the next day switching the lips for a bow.

- Woah, fashion icon in the making!

The media reaction to her latest image overhaul has mainly seen girl get cussed hard but we think it’s a little harsh.  You people want her to look like a cabaret singer forever? Sure the weave is a bit off key, her snount suspicously slimmed-down and the bronzer overkill on another level of horror, but we’re going out on a limb to call this one a massive improvement. Just

Surely anything has to be better then those sickly highlights and bridesmaids curls, non? Those endless pastel satin gowns gave her as much sex appeal as box of hair. Leona Lewis is a fugly duckling (potentially) turning into a swan; it’s just that she’s currently stuck in that patchy feathers stage… We still can’t forgive that heinous gothic-pierrot doll look she tried out recently.

Though while we’ve decided to encourage this bold new look from Leona we’re holding back from giving her any actual praise after hearing the designer behind the brave new revamp was actually, erm, Ms. Lewis.

So obviously the natural progression poisonous course for some one in the public eye who has designed two questionable crop tops, and has no formal design training is to embark on an entire ethical fashion line… groan. How far will she go with this new look before trotting back to the safety of those hideous Coast dresses? Only time will tell.

Word is she’s designing her Grammy’s outfit. We wait with baited breath.
