Ricki-Lee

It was a jam-packed week, and the smell of summer was strong in the air! We got to spy the beautiful spring/summer collections of some of our favourite labels, and BellaSugar Editor Alison trialled some tutti-frutti nail polishes that we all can't wait to get our paws on. It seemed like the Sugar office was in sync this week — things got matchy-matchy, fashion-wise, and we have the pics to prove it! We also got some photographic evidence of PopSugar Editor Jess catching up with the flurry of lovely celebs who hit Sydney's shores this week. As always, we paused in amongst the madness to enjoy some extremely delicious treats — namely, take-away pizza, Marc Jacobs cake pops and banana-peanut concoctions that were almost too pretty to eat.

Talk about celeb-overload! The Star's new nightclub, Marquee, attracted a strong contingent of international of celebrities for Friday night's much-hyped opening party in Sydney. Paris Hilton headlined the A-list guest list in a sparkling Rachel Gilbert design, whilst Minka Kelly, Ashlee Simpson, Joe Jonas, Nick and Vanessa Lachey rounded out the Hollywood crew. Expat Aussies also made the trip home for the event, with Abbie Cornish looking lovely in a green Alberta Ferretti number, Sharnee Vinson wearing Aje and a Yeojin Bae-clad Isabel Lucas all frocking up for the purple carpet. Short, sexy, bright and very sparkly; the party-hard dress code was most definitely adhered to by the celebrity attendees. See all the party pics!

Australian Idol alumni Ricki-Lee Coulter turns 26 today, so to mark the occasion we're taking a look through her red carpet moments from over the years. She shot to fame after coming in seventh place on the hit television series, and was instantly offered a recording contract. After a short stint with girl group The Young Divas and a radio gig for Nova 969, she went back to singing and hasn't looked back. With a new love in personal trainer Richard Harrison, a sizzling bikini body and the just-released single "Raining Diamonds," things are definitely on the up for the talented singer! Happy Birthday, Ricki-Lee — we hope you have a great one!

Happy Birthday Ricki-Lee! The singer shot to fame after she made the top ten in Australian Idol in 2004 and was offered a recording contract, leading to great success — her first album went double platinum. Along with singing, she also dabbeled in radio and television, and on the beauty front, we saw her wear her luscious chocolate locks styled in loose and wavy curls as well as sleek and straight. Ricki-Lee also professes to doing her own makeup, regularly opting for a clear, radiant complexion and lashings of lashes. And as for that new enviable bikini body, the singer showed it off on the cover of the November issue of Maxim magazine! Come with us on a trip down memory lane to see the best of her beauty looks where you can watch her style evolve!

Ricki-Lee Coulter's come a long way since her Australian Idol days, revealing not only a svelte new figure courtesy of a healthier lifestyle, but also a new lease on life. She credits her enviable chocolate locks to the wonders of macadamia nuts, swears by St. Tropez for an all-year glow and can't go past Kiehl's for keeping her body photo shoot-ready.
