LULU - LULU'S WEDDING DEMANDS FOR ELTON

Scottish singer LULU was so determined to stand out at ELTON JOHN's wedding she asked the star to call all of his other guests and find out what they were planning on wearing. The Shout hitmaker was invited to Elton's 2005 civil partnership ceremony where he married longterm love David Furnish, but was terrified of spending a lot of money on an outfit in case another celebrity turned up wearing the same dress. So the resourceful star asked the Rocket Man to get in touch with all of his guests to make sure her chosen frock would be unique. She says, "When Elton and David got married, I wore (an outfit by fashion designer) Alexander MCQueen, but I said to them: 'If I'm going to spend this much money on a dress, I have to know that no one else will be wearing it.' "So, they found out what everyone else was wearing for me." And Lulu insists her fears were well-founded as she had previously experienced a dreaded fashion blunder. She adds, "Once, I turned up to an Ivor Novello lunch and Trudie Styler and I were wearing the same dress. Sting kept coming up to behind me and pretending that I was his wife."
