From Curly Watts to Deirdre Barlow, how Corrie stars became unlikely style icons after Daniel Craig copied legend’s look
NEVER mind the catwalk – this season’s hottest fashion trends are coming from the cobbles of Coronation Street.
Paris, Milan and even London seem to have fallen out of favour, with all eyes switching to Weatherfield.
The world’s longest-running soap was shaken and stirred when Spanish label Loewe gave James Bond star Daniel Craig a makeover that made him look like ex- Corrie bin man Curly Watts.
But it’s not just Curly, played by Kevin Kennedy, who has become a fashion muse.
You could be forgiven for thinking some of the show’s most famous characters have inspired a range of summer staples.
From Deirdre Barlow to Roy Cropper, here Clemmie Fieldsend reveals how our favourite characters’ signature looks are suddenly in vogue.
Hailey Bieber and Roy Cropper
DON’T come a Cropper and be caught out on a rainy day.
Take your style cues from Weatherfield’s Roy and get yourself a dupe of his famous jacket.
The “Cropper Coat”, which is the character’s signature look, has been seen on fashion It Girls such as Hailey, 27, and has even proven a hit on the runway with Prada.
Rita Ora and Deirdre Barlow
RITA, 33, puts other celebrities in the shade as she sports a pair of this summer’s most stylish oversized sun specs.
And when looking for a glasses muse, who else would top fashion houses turn to than icon Deirdre Barlow?
What a vision!
Paul Mescal and Jim McDonald
DESIGNER stubble is a thing of the past, with the classic ’tache now a bigger hit among Hollywood’s finest – including Paul Mescal.
The 28-year-old Gladiator II heart-throb clearly looked to fellow Irishman Jim McDonald when it came to his facial fuzz.
Before we know it, the full beard could be making a Rovers Return!
Miley Cyrus and Audrey Roberts
US chart-topper Miley looks like she’s popped to Audrey’s salon for a blow-dry with those voluminous curls – aping the show’s favourite crimper.
