THE HAT

Rebecca Gonsalves: I thought William Hague killed off the baseball cap's cool in 1997, but perhaps it's time for a resurrection.

Hugh Montgomery: But the backward cap is so obviously cooly uncool that it's actually just uncool. You know.

THE OUTFIT

Rebecca: A bomber is a wise investment, and this one's orange lining means it can be reversed for a quick Halloween pumpkin costume, too.

Hugh: She could do interpretative dance in this. (Which might be better than her interpretative Elton John.)

THE BAG

Rebecca: As the sort of person who packs everything but the kitchen sink, travelling with just one handbag is an impressively chic feat. Hugh: And only half-full! Is there a music exec somewhere contending with Ryanair baggage charges?

THE SHOES

Rebecca: Even the most slovenly of stars would seem athletic in super-cool silver sneakers – good for dazzling the waiting paps, too.

Hugh: Great, though given that we run in retro (read second-hand/knee-destroying) Adidas, it don't take much to impress us.
