Lauren Laverne caused a mini Twitter storm last night sporting an ASOS Aztec print dress on Channel 4’s 10 O’Clock Live. Already sold out? And was it the same one worn recently by Tulisa on holiday? The horror. The bright pink, mauve and yellow racer-shoulder dress really did look amazing against her pale skin/blonde/platinum and diamond bling combo. However – and I speak from experience, having bought a Miss Selfridge Aztec mini skirt in December which has only had one outing to date – if you’re going to do Aztec prints, maybe go for something a little more sedate and muted on the colour front.
