Gabriella Cilmi's VIP fling in tartan at Glastonbury


The 16-year-old matched trendsetter Kate Moss in the traditional Festival footwear department and went one better, thanks to her lucrative fashion deal with Italian style giant, Dolce & Gabbana.
Leaving the denim and dungarees to Moss et al, Cilmi dressed the part of the music world's most likely in a corsetted tartan creation straight from the D&G fashion house in Milan.
Despite keeping her cool among the all-star musical line-up, the Melbourne teen showed her age when gushing about the free goodies she's bagged since storming the charts.
"I got this tartan kind of dress and these corsety things, but they're not really corsets, they just have, like, a zip at the back," she gushed in a recent interview.
"It's really cool. And, like, these really awesome dresses, (are) just really nice. I get to keep them because I wear them to other events and stuff like that."
The Sweet About Me singer has won over the UK press with her girlish charm and solid vocals.
After appearing on London's morning chat show GMTV Cilmi endearingly said the studio performance - with minimal crowd participation - almost put her off her game.
"What's funny is when you finish and hear this solitary clapping from the sofa. For a split second, you think, 'only one person clapping? How bad was I'?"
Not bad at all back home either, given her debut single has remained in the top 10 (at No.6), fifteen weeks after its entry.
Meanwhile, it was Bob Geldof's youngest daughter Pixie who again
grabbed attention among the A-list crowd at the UK song-a-thon.
The wild child has kept London's tabloids on their toes with her daily hairstyles, arriving as a blonde, sporting a red wig on day two, then wrapping her head in a orange turban.
