WAGs Boutique – Design a Celebrity Dress

This week’s challenge was given by Celebrity fashion designer Scott Henshall. The girls’ challenge this week is to design a red carpet dress for a secret celebrity. The winning team will see their design worn by their celebrity at an awards ceremony.

The manager’s picked this week were Cassie for Better Half and Michaela for Bows. Cassie chooses Heather and Charlotte for the challenge and Michaela selects herself (what a surprise) and Julie.

The girls head off to meet their secret celebrity. As Michaela and Julie arrive at Yorkshire TV, and they guess their celebrity is a soap star and they are right on target.

Their celebrity is Emmerdale star Adele Silva. Adele informs them of her preferences, something flattering for a smaller frame, quite fitted and definitely not neon…! The WAGs go off to impress the designer Mustafa, who will be making the dress, with their skills.

Heather and Charlotte head off the next day (as their celebrity was busy on Thursday) finding themselves on the set of Coronation Street, it is clear that they also have a soap star, actress Tupele Dorgu who says that she wants strong colours, the total opposite to Adele.

WAGs Boutique – Back at the boutiques

Back at the boutiques, Nicola T had been feeling a bit sad as she was missing her boyfriend Bobby Zamora too much, so her mum came to the boutique for a visit to cheer her up.

Meanwhile at Better Half, Cassie ‘The Decision Maker’ has decided to host a sale for all stock proving difficult to sell. With the organising to do, she closes an hour early to get the shop prepared.

Better Half have also realised it’s Elle’s birthday soon so they get two strip-o-grams in to surprise her. Very embarrassing for Elle, but very funny.

With Michaela having the role of manager this week, she decides to take advantage and leaves the shop early, leaving Madeleine and Julie to serve hundreds of queuing customers. What a great manager!!

WAGs Boutique – Challenge Results

With both dresses now completed the girls head off to receive their feedback and results.

Adele is the first to enter and is in a beautiful fitted corset dress with floating skirt, which was elegant, stylish and totally sexy in flattering nude tones.

Then Tupele appears in a bright pink and orange chiffon dress with mirror belt.

Scott reveals that both dresses are great but he can only choose one winner, he picks Better Half – although personally I would have chosen Bows design as it was gorgeous.

The prize this week is to attend a premiere party and they are given some of Scott Henshall’s own couture collection to sell in their boutique.

With Better Half now in the lead, will Bows be able to catch up, you’ll have to wait until next week to find out.

WAGs Boutique – Challenge Number 3

This week’s challenge was set by the Star Style Editor for Now Magazine. Both teams had to art direct a photo shoot featuring clothes from their boutique, but had to appeal to the Now magazine readers. They also had to choose the props and model the styles themselves.

The manager this week picked by the public were Cassie for Better Half and Nicola T for Bows.

Manager Cassie nominates herself and Charlotte to do the challenge and Bows’ manager Nicola T opts for Madeleine and Michaela. They only had a few hours to organise the props and outfits, so the girls set off to start their challenge.

Madeleine and Michaela get off to a good start and choose ‘Monochrome madness’, in other words Black and White as their theme. They use a black lampshade as a prop, but realise that it really didn’t look good, so end up leaving it out.

Meanwhile, Charlotte and Cassie are struggling to find the right outfits to match their “Never Too Busy to Be Gorgeous” theme. Cassie realises that the clothes they have finally picked have no consistent style and even worse the photographer can’t stop laughing at their props (a selection of clocks) so the girls are forced to abandon them.

WAGs Boutique – Back at the Boutiques

As Bows sold out of their charity jumpers last week, Better Half decided to try and beat their rivals by ordering a load in themselves.

Bows are also faced with their first angry customer who demands compensation in the form of free product.

Bows were also running out of stock, but how would they stock their shelves without spending any more money?

Luckily manager Nicola T managed to persuade two wholesale companies to donate some stock, before the rush on Saturday. This definitely proved her managerial skills.

Both boutiques had a visit from fellow WAG and Celebrity Big Brother star Danielle Lloyd with the paparazzi in toe.

WAGs Boutique – More heartbreak for one of the WAGs

It wouldn’t be a normal episode of WAGs Boutique without some bad news, Michaela found out there was a story in one of the papers that her ex-boyfriend Stewart Downing (of 4 years) has fathered a ‘love-child’, while he was with her. Poor Michaela, things couldn’t get any worse!

WAGs Boutique – Challenge Results

The challenge comes to an end and the girls and mentors get together for feedback. Both teams got really good feedback this week and for a change there was no fighting. However, only one team can win and the Star Style Editor for Now Magazine revealed that Bows were the winners. Bows win their shoot published in Now magazine and also got a bonus prize: their own column in Now (www.nowmagazine.co.uk).

With Bows now in the lead, Better Half will have to work even harder to win the challenge next week.

WAGs Boutique – Bows and Better Half battle it out for this week’s challenge

In this week’s episode of WAGs Boutique, Bows go to the Brits after winning last weeks challenge. While, Better Half’s Charlotte Mears and her boyfriend Jermain Defoe get engaged.

WAGs Boutique – Challenge Number 2

This week’s challenge is set by Justine Mills, owner of Cricket Boutique, where famous WAGs like Colleen McLoughin shop. The challenge is buying and selling, the girls have to choose a product to sell in their shop and the team with the greatest profit wins – easy!

The managers this week were Michaela for Bows and Jadene for Better Half. They then had to pick two girls from their team to go off and choose the stock. Charlotte and Heather are making the decision for Better Half and Nicola and Michaela for Bows.

Charlotte and Heather have trouble deciding between the Bags with Bows or the designer jewellery (worn by Kate Moss). In the end, Heather persuades Charlotte to go for the jewellery as she manages to get a fantastic deal on it. Nicola and Michaela choose the Bags with the Bows on (what a surprise).

Back at the shops, Bows have got people queuing round the corner for their charity pink hoodies and t-shirts, they end up running out of stock and had to start taking orders.

WAGs Boutique – Promoting and Selling their New Stock

To promote their new stock, Nicola T invites tabloid photographer to go to the boutique to get photos of the girls naked with only the bags covering their bits. The only problem was Krystell and Madeleine refusing to do the shoot and Julie’s husband Kevin Philips not wanting Julie to do it either. So, Nicola and Michaela pose for the camera, but do wear swim suits with the bags and bows in full view. They also hire a model to pose in the window with the bags.

On the first day with the new stock in the shops, Bows manage to sell all of their Bags, whereas Better Half seemed to be struggling.

Better Half decided to host a Champagne and Strawberries party to promote their stock and hand out loads of leaflets to Bows customers. Unfortunately, the strawberries got delivered to Bows, and before Better Half realised Julie had already handed most of them out, although they still had the champagne. The party was due to start at 6pm, so Charlotte and Heather went off to get stocked up with champagne, but with traffic being so bad they didn’t arrive until 7pm, so most of the customers had gone home already, so the party was a flop.

Next day the tension in Better Half was getting worse, Charlotte wanted to leave work early and ended up in an argument with Jadene. Later that night, Cassie and Jadene start arguing over Cassie selling her ‘kiss and tell’ story about her relationship with Michael Essien to the tabloids.

WAGs Boutique – Challenge Results

Finally, the following day Better Half sell all their stock and both teams go off to get their feedback and results of this week’s challenge.

Winners of this week’s challenge are to receive £2000 worth of stock from Cricket Boutique to sell in their boutique making 100% profit for their charity.

Bows impressed the judges with selling all their stock in one day, however the challenge was to make the most profit and with bows getting a reasonable discount on their stock, Heather managed to get an even bigger discount for Better Half.

The results were:

Bows’ profit – £906
Better Half profit – £3,186

Better Half win this week’s challenge fair and square, although Nicola T didn’t think so, she accused Better Half of trading on Lyn Gardener’s (Better Half’s mentor) friendship with the designer. Lyn hits back saying Nicola always gets ‘her tits out’. All hell breaks loose and
Nicola storms out in disbelief.

What will happen in WAGs Boutique next week? Will Nicola and Lyn make up?
