Style expert Brix Smith-Start is one of the starts of TLC's new fashionistas series Ultimate Shopper. Alongside host Holly Valance, Smith-Start will be selecting a winner from Britain's biggest style addicts and crowning the 'Ultimate Shopper'.
Ahead of the show's launch, Digital Spy caught up with Brix to get her verdict on the fashion sense of some of the world's most suave (and dodgy) looking stars.
Holly Valance
Holly has got really incredible taste. She's got amazing taste in handbags and shoes, for sure. What I really love about Holly is that she's able to wear anything, be it designer or high street, and look great. She's really tall and quite statuesque and, you know, she always looks good every time I see her. And I lust after her shoe collection - I do, and her handbags, like proper.
Rihanna
Rihanna actually is involved in fashion herself because she does the line for River Island.

In music, film, art and fashion, the 1990s are now making a comeback. But is this driven by nostalgia or does it reflect a shift in the national mood?
Between the whitewashed walls of Visions Video Bar, a London club, a crush of brothel creepers and flannel shirts throws spry shapes in the air as Nas's NY State of Mind segues deftly into Camp Lo's Luchini. "Tune!" howls a boy in a peaked cap to his girlfriend with an undercut.
London in the 90s? Wrong. This is Dalston in east London last weekend.
For many of us, the 90s was a decade imbued with anti-fashion, grunge and naff hair, seemingly mercifully resistant to a revival. But with the return of "Madchester" stalwarts the Stone Roses, a proliferation of grunge on the catwalk and yet another sequel to American Pie, it seems that the 90s are making a return.
