NEW MONTH, NEW MAGAZINES, NEW FAVOURITE COVERS.

Yes, it’s our favourite time again – the April editions of the monthly glossies have hit the news stands and we’re busy scouring their pages for the latest style tips and trends! It seems it’s officially a battle of the blondes this month as Gwen Stefani and Kate Winslet go head to head on the covers, for ELLE and Vogue respectively.

For Kate Winslet, it’s the chance to show off a gorgeous new cropped ‘do in a noticeably more platinum shade of blonde, and as photographed by fashion photographer extraordinaire Mario Testino. Catwalk Queen have described her new hairstyle as ‘a mixture between Victoria Beckham's tousled bob and Gwyneth Paltrow's choppy 'do from Sliding Doors’ - we say, we love this edgier look on Kate! Her classic beauty is matched with a timeless Little Black Dress by Roland Mouret, a designer favoured by everyone from Victoria Beckham to Cameron Diaz.

Over at ELLE, they have secured pop chameleon Gwen Stefani for their cover. Gwen has also opted for a stunningly simple evening dress, in this case from French label Lanvin. We love seeing Gwen in this glamorous forties style with dark lips and gently tousled hair, a really grown up look for this kooky stylista.
