Paloma Faith turns back time and gives her pin-striped trouser suit an edge with an 80's style Dynasty hairstyle and shoulder pads

When it comes to hairstyles, Paloma Faith has never been afraid to experiment with different looks.
And as she headed out to the BBC studios on Sunday the singer mixed things up yet again with a bouffant hairdo Dynasty style.
While on first glance, the singer's monochrome attire looked to be a relatively safe choice, it was given an interesting edge with a 19080s barnet that the show's star Joan Collins would have been proud of.

Joan played Blake's scheming ex-wife Alexis Morell Carrington in the 80's hit TV series which became synonymous with big hair, glamorous outfits and outsized shoulder pads.
Paloma 32, looked stunning in a pin-striped black trouser suit, which clung to her slim figure, as she arrived at the BBC for the Andrew Marr show.
She teamed her outfit with a crisp white shirt with collars that bore the embroidered word FOOL and wore vertiginous platform monochrome boots and carried a little leather doctor's bag.

On the hair and make-up front, she went for a dramatic look and wore her tousled backcombed locks to one side with just a slick of mascara, a pair of thick eyelashes and Paloma's signature red lipstick.
She was greeted by a school choir and was only just a head above the uniformed children despite teetering around on platform heels.
A day earlier, the Hackney-born singer was at the BBC Radio2 studios wearing a bright red hat to go with her fitted scarlet coat covering a trouser ensemble.

Paloma seemed inspired by the Little Red Riding Hood vibe when picking out her day’s wardrobe as she continues to promote her new single Can’t Rely On You.
The 32-year-old star matched her striking look with a stripy red and white handbag and red shoes, nails and lips, but added an incongruous pair of khaki socks into the mix.
She admits she adores clothes but doesn't own a wardrobe and plans her outfits last minute.
She told very.co.uk: 'I don’t have a wardrobe at all, just lots of rails in my bedroom and living room with clothes organised into rainbow colours. Friends come round to see me and sit among all my hats and crazy clothes.'

No doubt she was happy to get the airplay after hitting out at stations for not playing her song, which was produced by Pharrell Williams.
Paloma said working with the Happy singer was somewhat distracting because he's so handsome.
The Stone Cold Sober songstress admitted she found it hard to concentrate in the studio with Pharrell because she was so in awe of his youthful good looks.

She said: '[It was] difficult to concentrate because he's so beautiful and I can't believe he's 43, he looks about 15. And his wife is devastatingly beautiful. He's nice and humble.'
