Make a statement in an embellished jacket like Ellie

Ellie Goulding has certainly cast off the tomoy style she so loved when she burst onto the scene in 2009.

From daring sheer panels to sexy plunges, the singer has been opting for a far sexier style of late - and it's paying off.

Ellie's latest look has pushed the style boundaries once more, as she performed in Switzerland in a fashion-forward look from DSquared2 - the label loved by Gwen Stefani and Kate Hudson.

Ellie wore an embellished jacket and skirt from DSquared2's Autumn/Winter 2015 collection, which she teamed with a black crop top and ankle boots.

Having been spotted on the runways at Valentino, Gucci and Etro, embellished jackets are gearing up to be a hot trend for the season, and will prove a wise investment; they're your instant trick to glamming up skinny jeans, tailored trousers and day dresses alike.

Ellie's exact jacket will be available later in the year, so until then check out our edit of the best below - grab a bargain at Miss Selfridge or splash the cash with Alice + Olivia. Happy shopping!

Meanwhile, the musician recently dropped a hint that she may be behind James Bond's Spectre theme tune after writing ‘Live and let die' on Twitter last week.

Ellie's last single was Love Me Like You Do, released in January, and it headed up the memorable soundtrack to Valentine's Day's Fifty Shades Of Grey.
