Fashion bravado: Rihanna looks effortlessly cool in this £6,885 Jasmine Di Milo jumpsuit
As the revival of all things Eighties rolls on, it was inevitable that this particular trend would make a return, too.
Ever fashion-forward, pop star Rihanna was one of the first to espouse the new look and chose a particularly daring sequin number by hip designer Jasmine di Milo.
Glittering like a mermaid, it took a large dose of fashion bravado to carry off the skintight one-piece, but Rihanna pulled it off with effortless cool.
Could an ordinary being manage the same style coup?
We put it to the test on a size 12 model, who looked quite ridiculous in real life.
She looked less mermaid, more eel-like, squeezed into the sequins that highlighted every bump on her hips and thighs.
A younger, trendy type could probably get away this look, as having the confidence to wear it is as important as the slinky cut, but you'd still need a whopping £6,885 to buy one!
But that doesn't mean that jumpsuits are confined to the under-25s.
Marks & Spencer has a sophisticated one-piece that cunningly creates smooth lines and gives the illusion of being a shirt and trousers, all-in-one.
What's more, it's a snip at £49.50.
A no-no! Skin-tight sequins is not a look for mere mortals, left, but the £49.50 M&S jumpsuit, right, is flattering and gives the illusion of a shirt and trousers
