Celeb watch: Kate’s fashion tips from her gran... The Queen

Has The Queen ordered Kate Middleton to lower her hemlines and throw out her cheap jewellery?

According to the Daily Mail, Duchess Kate will be undergoing a makeover for the upcoming royal tour of Australia in April. She will reportedly be wearing more age-appropriate, regal clothing and borrowing the Queen’s jewels.

The Mail says: “The Duchess will deploy a couture wardrobe of day dresses with lower hemlines than she has previously favoured.

“She will be encouraged to wear the tiaras favoured by the Queen and Queen Mother and an aide is being lined up to help with her wardrobe.”

Queen Elizabeth has given Kate her personal dresser, Angela Kelly, to help Kate prepare for the trip: “She has been tasked with assisting Kate to select statement jewellery and gemstones from the Queen’s personal collection.

“This forms part of a deliberate move to shift the Duchess’s image from High Street to high end, timeless Royal elegance — without losing her freshness and informality.”

This is fascinating to me because I’ve always thought something was a bit off with Kate’s style. Her skirts are always too short and were blowing in the wind too much.

Hopefully, Angela won’t dress her like the Queen, but will find fashionable clothing fit for a future queen.

Former Disney actress Selena Gomez confirms she went to rehab last month for exhaustion.

Gomez issued a statement in December announcing that she would be cancelling her 13-date Australian tour. She cited spending time on herself as the reason.

According to Radar, “emotional issues” sent Gomez to an Arizona facility for a secret two-week stay. A rep for Gomez confirmed the rehab stay but said it wasn’t for substance abuse.

Gomez checked into Dawn at the Meadows recovery facility on January 5. Reports say the stay was voluntary.

A source close to Gomez said in the months before the rehab stint, she was “partying very hard”.

Sources also claim her relationship with Justin Bieber may be the reason for her issues.

“Selena needed to take the opportunity to work on herself. She realized she needed help. 

“Selena came to understand just what a bad influence Justin had been on her life. Their relationship left her broken-hearted.”

I really hope Selena got the help that she needed and that she stays far away from Justin Bieber. I doubt he would be a good influence on her, period —  and especially now.
