Steal Her Style: Imelda May

Imelda May may not be the name on everybody's style lips at the minute, but she soon will be with her sexy secretary style.

We love new emerging fashion talent, and with the release of her new single Big Bad Handsome Man any day now, fingers crossed we will be getting some more spectacular style moments from the star.

Musicians today are expected to seriously up their style game to compete with the never ending list of celebs, models and wannabe fashionistas making their mark.

So kudos to Imelda for taking a risk with her style and trying something different.

We're not entirely convinced we could pull off that retro quiff, complete with peroxide streak though, but she wears it with confidence, which is all that matters.

We particularly like the retro feel of her look, with the red nails and lips combo mixed in, with a slightly chavtastic influence too.

She reminds us of Lily Allen in her earlier days and we all know how successful her style went on to become.

It's not like we've never seen someone rock the 50s look before, but Imelda seems to have it completely nailed it to a tee, even giving it a fresh twist.

We've scoured the high-street to give you an Imelda inspired look for the spring, so why not be brave and try something new...
