Originally from Holycross, Co Tipperary, Colette is smart, stylish and classy and it’s no surprise that she regularly appears on the country’s best dressed lists. Queen of working her assets, she has mastered how best to dress for her body and shape. Here she tells us her style secrets and why Halle Berry is her style crush…

Describe your style in five words?
Hopefully more hits than misses.

What’s your beauty essential?
Sleep, no cigarettes and a good diet.

What item could you not live without?
Clarins moisturiser.

If you’re house was on fire and you’d only time to save one thing, what would it be?
My Chesneau handbag.

What’s top of your fashion wish list at the moment?
A cocktail dress for the TV Now awards in May.

Dress for your shape. If you don’t you’ll look too thin, too fat, too short, too out of proportion.

Who is you style-crush?
Halle Berry. She never gets it wrong.

Buying in the sales in the design centre. Wrong dress, wrong, size. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Best high street store?
Karen Millen.


Favourite place to shop?
Dundrum Town Centre or Cork city.

Fashion on the web?
I only shop online for shoes on the Dune website. Clothing never works out for me if I buy on the web.

Worst fashion moment?
Prints and baggy clothes are horrendous on me.


What era of style would you most like see return to fashion?
I’m glad the body con era seems to be still lasting


Finally, what do you want your style to say about you?
That I dress for my shape – short and curvy. And don’t look like mutton dressed as lamb.
