Sarah Harding is never one to be shy when it comes to experimenting with new styles – and her latest outfit proves it.

While the rest of her Girls Aloud bandmates went for cute or chic styles, Sarah was the one who dared to be different. With her cropped blonde hair, she always stood out from the crowd and she managed it again recently when she wore black ankle boots with a shimmering sequined dress.

When towering heels or strappy sandals are the obvious choice to compliment the glittering gown Sarah wore for the Make A Wish Foundations charity ball, she knew that pairing boots with such a pretty frock would bring it up to date in the fashion stakes.

Also, you can not deny the practicality of her choice of footwear. With temperatures plummeting, shoeboots are a great way of keeping your toes warm while still looking fabulous.

Try Red or Deads Tuxedo boots on for size to copy Sarahs look. The ruffled front dresses up the style and the boots tailor into the ankle, making legs look longer.

For the daring, they even come in fuchsia pink. Why not try teaming them with a little black dress to inject some colour into a party outfit?
