GH Fashion director Melanie Rickey says: “This trend fits everyone because it pulls the eye on the neck and collarbone – and we all know the golden rules – always emphasize the slimest part of her body.”

Finally, we saw Pamela Anderson the modern Marilyn trend with a paired back beauty look on the red carpet in the last month, and now it seems that the look is in force.

According to Melanie, there are two things to take into account to successfully create this look. She says: “The first one, choose a white tone that works with your skin tone. Brilliant white can be pretty hard.

“Secondly, the skin on your neck and cleavage days-you expose yourself for a shoulder-free, a V-neck or a decorative style-lights up the face and creates a bright glow.”
