Television's most glamorous reality personalities are a constant source of inspiration for docu-drama fans - here we take a look at the West London looks of Made in Chelsea's best-tressed stars.Proving that Chelsea style isn't just about a Kate Middleton bouncy blow-dry, these fearlessly fashionable stars tackle dip-dying, texture and trends with aplomb - although that glossy, polished, just-stepped-out-of-a-salon style continues to be a smash with certain stars of the show.
Sell the Made in Chelsea look on pristine, glossy, natural-looking colour, a healthy shine and bounce and styling that's effortlessly elegant.
Binky Felstead
"Glossy, nonchalant, blow-out perfection - Binky has the Chelsea look nailed. I love the fact that her blow dry has been slightly mussed up with tousled ends, long layers and a shattered parting; the style looks much more carefree, modern and youthful. Binky's rich chestnut colour complements her flawless complexion perfectly and adds to the expensive, classic look."

Caggie Dunlop
'I quite like Caggie Dunlop and her hair always looks great, even though her style has changed quite a lot throughout the various series of Made in Chelsea. I prefer her new ashier colour tones though as they really complement her skin tone - it's a great look for the summer too. A moisture treatment would certainly help maintain her hair's glossy condition."

Gabriella Ellis
"Tie-dying, panelling and colour-blushing are huge news - they empower your cut and certainly amplify individuality. Gabriella has chosen some strong shades in bold colours, which may not be everyone's first choice. I might have chosen something a bit fresher by weaving subtler pastels throughout the lower lengths of her hair. If my clients were to ask for a similar style, I would encourage them to pick out complementary shades and I'd create a bespoke fusion for them. I might also suggest some hand-painted colour infusions placed amongst the inner layers which would create colour flashes with the hair's natural movement."
Louise Smith, Toni and Guy, Salisbury
Rosie Fortescue
"The normally tame English rose has stepped up her game! This mahogany colour is great for her skin tone and the loose, romantic waves are current and help thicken up her fine hair. Rosie would look even better with a full fringe and an enhanced copper glow. It's such an easy style to replicate by wrapping big chunks of hair around a large wand - but unlike Rosie, get more lift at the roots to give a wow-factor finish."
