How soap icon Bianca Jackson became style queen – from J-Lo in snake print leggings to Megan Barton Hanson in puffer
WITH a wardrobe consisting purely of animal-print leggings and metallic puffer jackets, EastEnders’ Bianca Jackson isn’t the first person who comes to mind when you think of fashion icons.
But celebs have been recently rushing to ape her look – leaving many to wonder if they are taking the mickaaaaaayyy out of Albert Square’s most famous ginger, played by Patsy Palmer, 51.
Ahead of her return to Walford later this year, Hayley Minn looks at how even the Kardashians have been taking a leaf out of our favourite cockney carrot top’s book . . .
HISS-STERIA
Jennifer Lopez, 54, was utterly charmed by Bianca’s snake- print leggings, wearing them to a gym session, and even keeping the acid green theme going too.
Luckily, Jenny from the Block knew better to leave it to B from the Square to pull off the matching sequinned jacket.
STRIPE OFF
There was no horsing around for Kendall Jenner, 28, when she donned some zebra-print trousers to hang out with a friend.
Thankfully she got some tips from big sister Kim Kardashian, 43, and decided to ditch the hoop earrings and clashing leopard print trainers, toning it down with a black puffer jacket Bianca would be proud of.
PADDED OUT
Having already opted for Bianca’s staple puffer jacket, Love Island beauty Megan Barton-Hanson, 29, even went to the extra length of a Croydon facelift too.
While the Walford favourite wore trackies, Megan completed her look with cargo trousers.
THINK PINK
Not only did Bianca beat Kim Kardashian to the little pink dress but long before Kris Jenner came along there was Bianca’s bossy mum Carol Jackson, who many would say was the original momager.
We wonder if there are some deleted scenes from The Kardashians of the whole family sitting around, watching Dirty Den serve Angie with the divorce papers on Christmas Day?
TIE DYE FOR
If world-class supermodel Gigi Hadid, 28, says Bianca’s fluffy, marble print jumpers are in fashion, then they are in fashion.
Usually showing off her figure, the Victoria’s Secret star covered up in her baggy trackies, hoop earrings, slicked-back hair and shades but somehow managed to look uber-cool.
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
Walking on the wild side in leopard print is something that Sienna Miller, 42, and Bianca clearly both love doing.
Fashion queen Sienna toned her leggings down with a plain, grey baggy t-shirt.
But the soap red head went blingy with a lot of gold, and a patterned top too.
