Everyone's Wearing... 70s
It's a short hop from the catwalk to our favourite fashion-forward celebrities - so it's little wonder that this summer, there's a serious case of 70s fever hitting A-list wardrobes everywhere.
Rex FeaturesElle Macpherson
If you want people to pay attention, throwing on a yellow jumpsuit and styling it to the 70s hilt is a good way to go about it. Elle Macpherson helped her new reality TV show, Fashion Star, to hit international headlines when she was papped during filming in this flared mustard silk all-in-one and gold Lara Bohinc necklace.

A classic camel coat teamed with flared jeans, suede boots and a satin shirt is the perfect, subtle take on 70s casual. If we know Katie Holmes – and we think we do, fashion-wise – we’ll bet she’s hiding an on-trend high waistline under there, too.
