Make like Charli XCX in a Marine Serre catsuit

Festival season is here, and we can't think of anything more fun than a print catsuit. The fun trend looks cool and unique - even Charli XCX agrees!

From Marine Serre, the singer's stage look for the Radio 1 Big Weekend was a real winner. She paired the catsuit with a red PVC trench coat also from the emerging label and clear-sole Balenciaga trainers, meaning this was one luxe look!
