We take a look through the fashion moments of a style icon
On October 13, 1974 little did the world know that a star was about to be born and almost forty years on the fashionista that is the fabulous Miss Piggy is still looking as glamourous as ever. ..
Soon to be seen in the Disney Blu-ray and DVD release of Muppets Most Wanted and embracing every new trend with ferocity to fit her temper, designers have been falling over themselves to dress her, while celebs have queued to be papped with her.
With a faultless reinvention that even Madonna would envy, what is the secret behind the fashionable career of Miss Piggy? ‘Sometimes I even amaze moiself’ Miss Piggy has said. ‘One mustn’t show up in just any old frock’. We take a look back over some of her most memorable outfits, essential accessories and the designers who dressed her…
Blushing Bride…
Calling on none-other than world renowned designer Vivienne Westwood, Miss Piggy wore a couture Long Ivory Court wedding gown, with corset detailing and paillettes made from recycled plastic bottles, accessorised with an ivory tulle veil.
Front Row Fashion…
Julien McDonald has previously been on hand creating an original gown which she wore in the front row for London Fashion Week in 2005. The gown was topped by a Miss Piggy favourite - an ostrich feather boa.
Spandex, Silk or Sequin…
Another Miss Piggy favourite and fashion essential is the sleek long glove. Spandex, silk or sequin, no matter the colour, style or season she has a pair to compliment any outfit.
Collaboration Crushes…
Jeremy Scott, American fashion designer to the stars including Madonna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga has called Miss Piggy ‘amazing’ and is known to have a bit of a crush on the beauty. There have been a number of collaborations between the pair and Miss Piggy has even stepped out on the runway for him.
Diamonds (and Pearls) are a girl’s best friend…
Often opting for the simple elegance of a pearl necklace, that doesn’t stop Miss Piggy from glamming it up. Decked in diamonds, Miss Piggy once performed with Whoopi Goldberg on the hit show Muppets Tonight singing the classic ‘Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend’.
This is all Moi’s…
With almost forty years in the industry there has been a few hairstyle changes, we’ve seen ‘The Rachel’, a fringe, perms and bobs. She has even trialled sporting brunette locks! Whatever the style we think you’ll agree she always looks fabulous!
These trotters were made for walking…
No outfit would be complete without a designer pair of shoes and no one knows this better than Miss Piggy. Not only did Vivienne Westwood design Miss Piggy’s wedding dress but her shoes were custom made by the talented designer too. Other custom heels have been created for the starlet by some of the world’s top designers including Christian Louboutin, Louis Vuitton and Brian Atwood.
The years are falling off you…
Rumours have always circulated that Miss Piggy has been under the knife or had a cheeky touch of Botox to keep her chops looking so youthful… Although she has admitted that she has had the odd bit of work done, Miss Piggy also works hard to keep herself fit and trim. We’ve all seen those karate chops and after years of mastering the art she’s no stranger to an energetic trip to the gym…with champagne ready to rehydrate her afterwards, of course.
If you’ve got it, flaunt it…
Not one to ever shy away from the camera, Miss Piggy knows how to work it like a pro…. Ensuring she is only ever caught at her best angle and never papped in a compromising position. Fashion shoot after fashion shoot, TV appearance after TV appearance Miss Piggy constantly surprises her fans with her fresh looks and youthful beauty.
A Leopard never changes it’s spots…
No one put’s it better than Miss Piggy herself for this one. “Put moi in leopard print and I sizzle…I slither… I scintillate! In short, I look gangbusters! Of course, I would never wear real leopard—even though it has been said that I look better in that print than most leopards.”
