Be seen in green this season like Emma wearing Georgia Hardinge
Emma Willis doesn't like to do things by halves when it comes to style, does she?
She's pictured here in a promotional shot for the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother rocking a green glittery suit, which is by Georgia Hardinge. It's a brand we've spotted Michelle Keegan and Nicola Roberts in, and actually both Paloma Faith and Annabelle Wallis have worn this exact suit!
We love the split sleeves and rich hue of this trouser suit, which is all available to buy via the links (right and below). Emma kept hers relatively simple, adding just jewellery by Zoe and Morgan to allow this gorgeous green look to do all the talking.
So if you fancy emulating Emma, why not make them emerald with envy in one of the blazers we've tracked down for you elsewhere?

The news that Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother were being axed was announced on Friday, just hours before the launch night, with an official statement issued on Twitter, which said: 'The forthcoming series of Big Brother will be the last - of either celebrity or civilian versions - on Channel 5.'
The show, which was seen as a ground-breaking social experiment when it first aired in 2000, was initially a roaring success, with the final of the first series bringing in 9.45 million viewers.
But a nation once obsessed with 'Nasty' Nick Bateman of series one is now more enthralled with the show's competitors with viewing figures dropped.

Candid: While Sky tweeted: 'Good Afternoon, there are no plans for Sky One to show Big Brother I'm afraid.'
Addressing the show's axing on Friday's launch show, host Emma Willis had to hold back tears as she emotionally spoke about the news.

She said: 'This should be a positive thing because we should just f**king show everybody how great this programme is and we should love it and embrace it and give it the send off it deserves.

'I think they've taken all the brilliant bits from the past and brought them back and mixed them with something different for the future, because it's been on for a b****y long time and it has to be different. So I think they've made, I'm getting emotional now too, they've made a brilliant mix.'
To which an also emotional Rylan commenting on Emma's near tears: 'Oh no, don't, please don't.'

She said: 'This is a very strange, 'What You Talking About Willis?' today because normally it's a 'Yay! It is the launch!' of our civilian series, but the excitement comes with really a lot of sadness because we have all found out today, that Big Brother is no more on Channel 5.
'I feel like I've been through this process before. Well I have been through this process before because I worked on the last year on Channel 4 and we like… buried it.
'Like genuinely. We had a grave for it and everything in the back garden and then the next thing we know is, 'Oh wow, it's coming back.'
Big news: The news was announced earlier on Friday, just hours before the launch night, with an official statement issued on Twitter
'So the news was a shock, if I'm honest but I kind of still hold out hope that somebody out there, loves it as much as we all do still and will give it a home in the future because it has been on the TV for a b****y long time and you know, it's part of our popular culture.
'So it would be sad. It would be sad to see its end at the age of eighteen. It'd be lovely to see it come back for its twentieth anniversary.
'But the one thing that I can assure you is that on hearing this news, it has made every single person that works here and on the show, it's given us even more of an incentive to make this the most incredible series because we want to go out on a high and we want to go out with a bang.
Speaking out: Talking about the news before the launch night, Emma recorded a video for Big Brother's official Twitter account
