Singer Pixie Lott also made the list as did The Saturday's star Frankie Sandford.

The study found that 15 per cent of the women studied said they often dressed like their favourite celebrity and more than a quarter have tried to find out where a piece of clothing was from after they had spotted a celeb wearing it.



Three quarters trawl the internet to find out where celebs clothes are from but one in twenty have even called into the TV show the star has appeared on in a bid to track down the item.

A spokeswoman for clothing brand CC, which commissioned the report, said: 'It's only natural that different age groups favour and emulate different celebrities.

'But the research does throw up some interesting points - it seems being more style focused becomes more important with age.



'Women such as Lulu, Twiggy and Jane Seymour have retained they style icon status throughout the decades and become even more stylish as they get older.



'Stylish women in their 50's seem to opt for a more demure style as sported by the likes of Lorraine Kelly or Nigella Lawson in contrast to someone like Madonna who has always pushed boundaries in terms of her image and styling.'
