18 year old Diana Vickers transformed her look as she posed for her recent magazine photo shoot. She described how she used to suffer ‘terrible acne’ when she was 17, during her auditions for the X Factor, after which Vickers shot to fame as a music artist (despite not winning the show). Vickers said that after consulting a dermatologist by the name of Jenny Harding she went on the pill and started to take Roaccutane for skin rejuvenation purposes. Jenny Harding has given facials to numerous celebrities, including Kylie and Girls Aloud. Vickers was also told to increase her daily water intake which would help her to get rid of her acne.
She describes how her new look has ‘changed her life’ and how she feels ‘more confident’ and sexy, although she also described herself as ‘curvy’, which many people would disagree with. She says she has learned to love herself for who she is and has found inspiration from other supposedly ‘curvy’ women such as Rihanna, who she describes as having a ‘gorgeous bum, boobs and waist’. The singer admits she still looks at old photos of herself and the supposed ‘puppy fat’ she stored in her cheeks. Vickers is now ready to embrace new styles and trends and is unafraid of trying on something a little outrageous every now and again.
The singer has completely transformed her wardrobe, which now includes 45 pairs of shoes – a far cry from the days of singing on stage with barefooted. She often performs at major music festivals and last weekend she sang at the Oxygen Music Festival in Ireland – one of the largest music festivals in the world. Her single ‘Once’ has been a major commercial success as has her album ‘Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree’. Both have reached the top of the UK music charts and Diana looks forward to releasing more singles over the coming months.
