Catwalk Queen exclusive: Q&A with Nancy Dell'Olio
She's the glamour puss who regularly makes the worst-dressed pages in magazines. Best known for dating Sven-Goran Eriksson, the former WAG was a guest judge in this week's episode of Project Catwalk. She chats exclusively to Catwalk Queen...
Catwalk Queen: What has it been like to be involved in Project Catwalk?
Nancy Dell'Olio: It really has been a lot of fun, it was fantastic to see the impact of young designers on the industry. I found it fascinating to see what is in the imagination of these young, inspiring people - I really enjoyed it.
CQ: In this week’s episode the contestants were given the challenge to design you a red carpet outfit. What did you think of the results?
ND: I really liked who won. There were good designs but not necessarily wearable, and nothing really desirable. Something was not right in the other designs e.g. colour, cut. The dress which won reflected my style and it was probably, to me, the most wearable.

CQ: Would you actually wear any of the designs on a real red carpet?
ND: The one that won (made my Jasper and Chelsea) I definitely would! In the summer I maybe would have worn the beige one, and possibly the others with a few corrections!
CQ: You once said that glamour is something that you’re born with. Who do you think best reflects this?
ND: To me, Sophia Loren epitomises glamour. I believe that glamour is something which comes from the inside. Glamour is more than beauty – it is a combination of beauty and personality.
CQ: Who or what inspires your sense of style?
ND: No one, I am inspired by myself. I am too strong to be influenced. Instead I would like people to be inspired by me. With the fast evolving culture of travel and style, it’s important that you pick up your own style which is created by the way you wear something and how comfortable you are.
CQ: Do you have any favourite designers and if so, who?
ND: I adore the new Italian designer Ettore Bilotta, who has made me couture dresses recently. I find Elizabeth Emmanuel very feminine. I also love Donna Karen, Alexander McQueen, a bit of Cavalli and D&G basics.
CQ: Finally, what are your quick tips on how to look glam?
ND: Confidence is the most important thing. For real people I would say - always wear something that makes you look and feel better. Never forget that glamour is linked to your personality.
