    How to make a radiator look hot? Stand Florence Welch in front of it. Even early on in her career, Florence was a formidable fashion contender, topping best dressed lists with her quirky, modern take on hippyish, 70s style. Note: Flo donning the coloured lace, midi-dress and heeled brogues in 2008 – three years before they became mainstream fashion trends.

    Leotards and fringing quickly became one of Florence Welch’s most lusted-over style staples (alongside her flame red hair and lustrous ivory skin, of course). She wore this gorgeous crocheted number when she performed at T4 On The Beach in 2009.

    Another fashion signature of Florence Welch’s – the one-shouldered wing dress – executed to other-worldly perfection at the 2009 Barclaycard Mercury Prize nominations. Florence + The Machine were commended for their debut LP, Lungs.

    Was Florence the one who made Goth cool again? The answer’s yes if this sultry leather and chiffon ensemble is anything to go by. Again, she’s ahead of the times – this outfit is not autumn/winter 2011, but instead from 2009, when she attended the Barclaycard Mercury Prize at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

    And her Grammy Awards red carpet look was no less inspired. Florence's love affair with Givenchy became even more apparent when she wore this ethereal embroidered swan gown, with voluminous sleeves for wings, and a slice of orange at the back for a splash of colour.

    A rich tapestry of appliqué flowers were the order of the day for this midnight garden-inspired Valentino Couture dress that Florence wore to Sir Elton John’s legendary Oscar Party in 2011.

    Taking on an all-in-one print look is a bold move indeed, but Florence Welch executed this sheer, patterned Givenchy pussybow dress and blazer to maximum effect.

    But Givenchy isn’t the only label Florence lusts after. Chanel, too, is one of her major go-tos for chic red carpet glamour with a classic, vintage twist. We love this striking floral cropped jacket and midi-skirt - expertly paired with purple ankle boots – that she wore to Chanel’s autumn/winter 2011 show at Paris Fashion Week. No wonder she’s one of Karl Lagerfeld’s many muses.
