The Nicola Roberts Pop Tart editorial features one of the singers from the British pop group [Girls Aloud](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nadine-coyle). Decked out in [retro glamorous styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), the star is transformed from singer to sophisticated model.

I’m definitely loving the old school glamour of this photo shoot; those high-waisted skirts are to die for. Stylist Kim O’Neill includes pieces from Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton amongst other [high-fashion names](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025) in this editorial lensed by Catherine Servel.

The Nicola Roberts Pop Tart spread is a definite must-see for those who love the sleek sophistication of retro styles.

**Implications** - As the recession is slowly coming to an end, consumers are looking for ways to lead a more glamorous lifestyle. Focusing on this aesthetic could help a company increase its popularity on the market.
