 With sleek chignon, cigarette holder and long black gloves, Coleen McLoughlin does her best impression of actress Audrey Hepburn in the classic movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Coleen also poses as Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe in the shoot for Closer magazine (scans coming later!). Coleen says Hepburn is a fashion inspiration. Miss McLoughlin, who spent her early days in the spotlight in comfy tracksuits and Ugg boots, now prefers outfits that show off her svelte size 10 figure. Whether her wedding dress will be inspired by the Hepburn style she so admires will be revealed in June when she marries Rooney in Italy. “Audrey was so sophisticated,” she said. “She really defined the classic look. That’s what made her an icon.” Miss McLoughlin, who is a size 10, told Closer magazine that despite her upcoming June wedding she is not following a strict regime to lose further weight.
She said: “I’d love to lose a few more pounds, but I’m not dieting for the wedding. I’m not even doing Weight Watchers at the moment.” Coleen has long felt Miss Hepburn is the best point of reference for her often eclectic style. In 2005, she turned up the National Television Awards in London in a 1950s vintage dress and almost £1million worth of diamonds borrowed from high class jeweller Chopard. She spoke of how she had styled herself on her Hepburn, but sadly when she opened her mouth she betrayed rather more down-market roots. “I love wearing all these diamonds, I feel dead classy, they are really stunning,” she said. “They are heart-shaped. I picked them because I am in love. “I feel really precious because they are worth a million pounds, so I have had to have a bodyguard with me all night. “They really go with my dress because it is vintage. I am modelling myself on Audrey Hepburn. I think she had so much class and I really love her. “I think that 1950s style is so much more elegant, and even though it is very trendy right now – for me it will never be unfashionable because that is the style I really admire.” Bride-to-be Coleen, who marries Rooney, 22, in June,set the record straight about what she has planned saying: “It’s going to be a mainly family affair. “That’s what me and Wayne have always wanted. My friends and family know the plans, but they’re very good at keeping secrets and we know we can trust them.” Coleen has been engaged to the Manchester United footballer since she was 17, added: “I can’t wait to be Mrs Rooney. “It’s like getting ready for a big holiday in lots of ways. I’m eating really healthily, drinking plenty of water and going to the gym a lot more, maybe three or four times a week - I can really feel myself toning up. “My skin’s benefiting from my healthy regime too. If you eat healthily, drink lots of water and work out then your skin has a great glow. I’m having facials every four weeks as well.” The wedding, as the Mail recently revealed, has provided Miss McLoughlin with quite a dilemma. Having banned many of Wayne’s troublesome family members from the main celebrations on the Italian Riviera, she has pledged to have a subsequent party on home turf. Coleen is understood to believe the wedding, which is sponsored by a celebrity glossy magazine to the tune of £2.5 million, is the ideal way to catapult her and Wayne into the American national consciousness. But she is all too aware of the need to keep her future in-laws in check. “This is a very big deal for Coleen. She is even hoping to get the wedding in the American version of the glossy magazine in the hope that it will launch her and Wayne as a major new celebrity couple out there. “She wants to launch Brand Rooney in the US in the same way that Brand Beckham did. “And she does not want anything spoiling that - like drunken in-laws for example.”
