Groomed & Doomed: PURPLE DRESSES

Sunday Mirror, May 30, 2004 by Annabel Kerman

Serena Williams

Serena shows off her fab backside in this ace mauve dress with hair that says pure diva. Beyonce, watch your behind

Tara P-T

Tara Troys very hard and gets the Grecian look down to a tee - and effortlessly manages to look like a goddess while she's at it

Alex Best

Jungle luvvie Alex may think her purple frock's wild, but we say she looks like she's been mauled by something nasty. And we won't even start on the ostrich bag

Elizabeth Jagger

60s throwback Lizzie thinks she's living in a purple haze, but that knitted dress, hanky, socks and hair bobble is more deluded fog

Jenni Falconer

Jen must have her sights set on becoming the Queen Bee of GMTV with this regal purple evening gown

Naomi Watts

Naomi is mauving into pal Nicole Kidman's spotlight if this gorgeous purple dress is anything to go by

Nicole Richie

Nic's forgotten one of life's simple lessons: Don't go out in the (purple) rain or you'll end up with a bad dress and straggly hair
