Coleen Nolan has opened up about her fashion regrets after shedding five stone, admitting she once made style choices that were more suited to a woman in her 20s. The 44-year-old singer and television personality recalled cringing at a photo of herself on a red carpet four years ago, wearing skin-tight fake-leather leggings and a push-up top.
Nolan, who dropped from a size 22 to a size 10 for her wedding, said she felt proud of her new figure but made a classic mistake. 'I felt as good as I did in my 20s – so I picked an outfit that only a 20-year-old should wear,' she wrote in the Mirror.
The Loose Women star compared her experience to that of Nigella Lawson, who recently wore a fluorescent, skin-tight dress at a book launch. Nolan argued that many women who lose significant weight struggle to adapt their style, often reverting to the look they loved when they were last thin.
Nolan detailed her long battle with weight, including yo-yo dieting after pregnancies and a split from her first husband, Shane Richie. She now advises women to avoid 'age inappropriate' outfits and to learn how to dress their new curves properly.
