Everyone's Wearing... Pyjamas
From Rihanna to Alexa, all the most sartorially-savvy stars are lounging out in one of the season's hottest pieces: the pyjama suit. See how they're managing to pull it off...
PA PhotosThere was something of the boudoir – and not in a lingerie way – about the printed trouser-silk top ensemble that Kristen Bell wore to the Downtown Independent Theatre screening of Hit & Run. This look has ‘downtown LA’ stamped all over it. Love!
Rex FeaturesIs there no trend Miranda Kerr can’t wear? Apparently not. The model looked comfortable and chic in equal measure in her pyjama bottoms, simple T and soft blazer at LAX in early June.
PA PhotosWe’re going to give Katie Holmes the benefit of the doubt and presume that she was making a fashion statement, rather than having just forgotten to put her actual top on before leaving the house, when we snapped her out and about in New York recently.
Rex Features...And so to the lady herself. For the Tokyo premiere of Battleship, Rihanna eschewed your typical red carpet gown in favour of a head-to-toe pyjama look from Emilio Pucci’s autumn/winter 2012 catwalk. Controversial? Certainly. Unique? Not exactly...
Rex FeaturesIndeed, RiRi got her pyjama on just a couple of days prior to the Tokyo premiere when she wore this monochrome rose-print two-piece to appointments in London. A dress rehearsal, perhaps?
Rex FeaturesNever one to let a trend pass her by, Florence Welch pulled on this matchy-matchy two-piece in a vintage colour way for a spot of shopping in NYC.
Rex FeaturesArbiter of all things cool Stella McCartney took the pyjama trend to the world stage when she wore this pair – which are of her own design, natch – to unveil her designs for Team GB at the 2012 Olympics.
Rex FeaturesSunday Girl Jade Williams dipped a toe (or rather, a shoulder), into the trend by mixing this pyjama top from the sell-out Marni for H&M collection with a silky shorts suit and statement footwear for the Harvey Nichols spring/summer 2012 fashion show.
PA PhotosSalvatore Ferragamo was another heavy-weight designer championing pyjamarama for spring/summer 2012 – as showcased by ultra-chic French actress Elisa Sednaoui at the opening night of the new Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition at the Louvre in March.
PA PhotosSuper-stylist and fashion risktaker extraordinaire Caroline Sieber wasn’t shy about slipping into this sleepwear-inspired suit by Louis Vuitton for the label’s autumn/winter 2012 Paris show.
Rex FeaturesWe can’t help but think that the baggy two-piece designer Rachel Roy wore for the One Day premiere in New York erred a little too much on the side of ‘pyjama’, and not enough on the side of ‘suit’ – in spite of her efforts in the accessories department.
Rex FeaturesLou Doillon got into the spirit at the US launch party for Marni For H&M, going top to, er, thigh in its printed, pyjama-inspired shorts suit.
Rex FeaturesWhen Tilda Swinton played hostess at Pomellato’s Rodeo Drive store opening party, she wore a blank canvas of a white silk shirt suit in order to show off her jewellery to maximum effect. Although we’re not entirely sure her sartorial trickery worked – we’re still pretty fixated on the clothes.
PA PhotosBip Ling isn’t one to be intimidated by a tricksy trend. Oh no, siree. The Brit blogger was quick to grasp the sartorial nettle of pyjama suits, wearing this matchy-matchy set to London party back in July 2011.
Rex FeaturesWe have pretty much no idea how Florence Welch got away with teaming this fussy, paisley-print suit with an actual pair of slippers and not looking like a ridiculous person. But there’s no denying that she did.
PA PhotosPaisley PJ pants plus a no-fuss cardi and heels made for yet another style hit for inimitable fashion plate Alexa Chung.
Rex FeaturesOf course these were actual pyjamas, concealed under layers of over-things! It’s Helena Bonham Carter... ‘Nuff said.
Rex FeaturesDitzy print and lace proved a winning combo in this spaghetti-strapped Charlotte Ronson number, which the designer wore for her spring/summer 2012 NY catwalk show. Prettiness.
PA PhotosWe love how Kate Hudson didn’t go the whole hog here, instead, pairing an understated pair of striped PJ pants with tailored separates for every-day cool.
PA PhotosRewind to January 2008 and it was Dolce & Gabbana setting the nightwear-as-daywear agenda. Who could forget this shot of Jessica Alba head-to-toe in a polka dot catwalk look at her My Bloody Valentine premiere? Not us, that’s for sure.
Getty ImagesSure you’re comfortable there, Pixie? Ms Lott lounged out on stage during a 2010 performance in Glasgow.
WennIt’s easy to forget it but in her pre-baby days, Lily Allen was all about the bold fashion statement. Case in point? This see-through camisole, silk pants and blonde wig ensemble that the chanteuse wore out for a dinner in London in the summer of 2009.
