Coronation Street's Jennie McAlpine's fashion sense Fiz-zles out as she wears unflattering pink jumpsuit

It's often been said that many actresses end up emulating their on-screen alter egos in real life.

And that seems to be what happened to Coronation Street star Jennie McAlpine, who appeared to have adopted her character Fiz Stape's questionable fashion sense as she stepped out wearing an unflattering pink jumpsuit.

The 26-year-old actress was clearly hoping her outfit choice would see her rise in the fashion stakes, thanks to the current popularity of all-in-ones, but had the opposite effect in her pink satin number which she teamed with a white belt and black heels.

And after a romantic meal together at the Da Giacomo restaurant on Friday night, Victoria's Secret model Kerr was clearly keen to make the most of one of the world's foremost fashion events.

Bloom also looked excited about the couple's impending arrival as he attended the Scent Of The Future event, and made sure he kept a tight grip on Kerr as they headed back to their hotel.

The couple announced Kerr's pregnancy earlier this year, shortly after marrying in a private ceremony in Anguilla during the summer.

In an interview shortly before the couple got married, Kerr said she always knew Bloom would make a brilliant father.

She said: 'I’ve always thought Orlando would be a great dad. 

'I've always wanted kids, so someday, eventually, yes, it will happen.

'My ideal situation would be to live on a farm in a solar-powered house with a hammock and a vegetable patch.'

Bloom also spoke about the pregnancy, saying: 'I'm really excited about it, it's great.'

Referring to the fact that he could be away for much of Kerr's pregnancy, Bloom added: 'I'll go home as often as possible. She'll come out here too.'

Also in Milan at the moment is Kylie Minogue, who made an appearance at the Emilio Pucci Spring/Summer 2011 Womenswear fashion show.

Looking slim and svelte in a gold sparkly minidress, which enhanced her petite but curvy figure, Kylie posed with designer Peter Dundas before taking her seat in the front row alongside Vogue editor Anna Wintour and International Herald Tribune Editor Suzy Menkes.
