Kelly Osbourne gives fashion tips

Kelly Osbourne was a reality star, actress and musician before anyone took notice that she had a knack for style.

But lately the 27-year-old daughter of Ozzy Osbourne has earned the title of certified fashionista, dishing the designer dirt with Joan Rivers and co-hosts Giuliana Rancic and George Kotsiopoulos after major Hollywood red carpets on E! "Fashion Police".

She also sat front row with Joan Rivers at the Badgley Mischka show during the New York Fashion Week this past February.

"I'm in the process of branding, doing my own line. I will not just attach my name to something," Kelly said. "I want to be a part of every aspect of it. I want to do everything on it and even down to like making sure I know where the clothes or items are being manufactured."

Now she's being tapped to kick off fashion-fuelled events too, like this month's The Magnificent Mile Shopping Festival along Chicago's Michigan Avenue. While there Kelly shared three things she learned walking the red carpet that she considers top everyday tips for real women.

On spray tans, Kelly said: "It just gives you that golden glow, a bit of bronze, like you've been kissed by the sun. It makes you look slimmer and it makes you feel healthier. I always do that. I hate that I don't have one now."

She also said every woman should own a pair of shaping undergarments, adding: "Even if you're a skinny girl, Spanx are a must. Nobody wants to see your belly button through your dress."

And for those who must know what Kelly was wearing in Chicago to meet with reporters last week: A long, flowing short-sleeved black dress with a rainbow leaf print by Issa and a ring with a large purple stone and a jewelled leaf by Chanel.
