Nicola Roberts is becoming increasingly known for her unusual fashion choices, and this weekend was no different. The 24-year-old Girls Aloud singer stepped out for an evening wearing a very bright-colored Taffeta check dress by Vivienne Westwood, which is one of her favorite designers. She attended the Ivy Club in West End in London with her mom and sister.

The combination of the blue, purple, pink, yellow and orange dress with her red hair, which is styled to frame her face, really made her stand out in the crowd. To accessorize, Roberts carried a small black handbag and wore a pair of black heels. Although she has a rather interesting taste in fashion, this outfit did her justice, personally (not an expert opinion). It just plainly looked good on her.

Roberts has also become more involved in the fashion world lately and has attended shows regularly in Paris and London. She’s also put some of this research to use, wearing trendy items frequently. However, she says that she doesn’t plan to become a designer yet. She’s quite happy with the way things are going with her Dainty Doll makeup collection, which is keeping her busy right now.

Meanwhile, Roberts has been on the bad end of press in recent weeks due to criticism over her size. Some critics claimed that she is too thin, but she defended her size 6 waist, saying that she isn’t ashamed of it and that it comes natural to her. She added that she doesn’t starve herself or exercise every day…she just has a small frame.

Nicola Roberts has responded to critics and reports that she is too skinny, saying that the shape of her body is completely natural, and she didn’t starve herself to get that way. The size 6 Girls Aloud star is frustrated with the fact of everyone talking about her weight and finds it ridiculous.

Nicola says that she isn’t ashamed of her size 6 figure, explaining that her frame is naturally small, which is how she’s always been. She hasn’t been exercising every day or starving herself, she continued, but people are being irresponsibly obsessive over this. She also doesn’t want girls to feel like they have to have the same shape.

The 24-year-old added that her pet Pugs Reggie and Ronnie are plenty of exercise. She laughs that she will never be a girl that goes to the gym, because walking her dogs is enough exercise for her. Nicola has also expressed how much she’s into her 2-year boyfriend, 23-year-old boat salesman Charlie Fennell. She says that everything is going really well, and although she had been feeling ready to have children, she says that this is on hold for a while after she realized how much of a handful her dogs are.

Meanwhile, Nicola claims that she doesn’t have enough time to start her own fashion collection. She said that there’s rumors that she’s reinventing herself as a fashion designer, but she’s too busy to do that right now. Instead, the singer has admitted to focusing her time on a make-up range for girls with pale skin called Dainty Doll.
