Oops, maybe you should have tried the next size up: Lauren Goodger's tiny dress feels the strain as a tear pops up on her night out

All that glitters... Lauren Goodger poses for a picture as she makes her way into the TOWIE wrap party at the Penthouse club in London's Leicester Square unaware that she has a tear in her dress


Sadly it's a look that's become synonymous with girls from Essex, and many other parts of the UK, but squeezing yourself into a tiny dress can have its pitfalls.

As Lauren Goodger from The Only Way Is Essex found last night following the launch of her beauty product range, Lauren's Way, at the Glasshouse in central London.

The 25-year-old wore a sparkly silver halterneck mini dress that, unfortunately, appeared to have felt the strain of being pushed to its limits.

A hole in the left hand side appearing when Lauren made her way to the TOWIE wrap party.

As she exited her car the tear on her hip was clearly visible, the seam had apparently burst under the pressure of Lauren forcing herself into the dress.

The reality TV star complimented her silver dress with matching silver eye make-up for her evening on the town.

Perhaps Lauren should have considered wearing a size up from the one she had on.

Certainly her choice of dress was ill-informed and no doubt led to the embarrassing tear that appeared during the course of the night.

Meanwhile her co-star on the show, Lucy Mecklenburgh arrived at the official TOWIE wrap party last night looking stunning in a black and grey striped bodycon dress.

Of course, Lucy's enviable figure puts her leagues ahead of most women - and she accentuated her dangerous curves with a the bandage style number.

But it also seems Lauren chose to hold her launch party on the wrong night.

While she promoted the new beauty range, the rest of the TOWIE crew were pictured supporting Lydia Bright at the launch of her new shop, Bella Sorella.

Chloe Sims, Lauren Pope, the Faiers sister Billie and Sam, James 'Arg' Argent and Lydia herself, plus her mother Debbie, were all in attendance for the press launch which took place in Loughton, Essex.

Wardrobe malfunction: Maria Fowler almost fell out of her corset tutu dress as she posed for photos at the store in Essex


Lydia looked demure in a black long-sleeved velvet dress with diamante neck detail and black platform stilettos.

Her mother Debbie was there too also wearing an all black outfit.

Sam Faiers looked sophisticated in a full length nude coloured gown andimitation fur shrug, but her sister Billie looked less chic in a clingy bodycon dress with black lace shoulders.

Maria Fowler looked girly in a tutu style dress with a jewelled corset but the redhead also had an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction as she posed for photographs at the store in Essex.

Someone else who opted for a plunging neckline was Carol Wright- mother of Mark and Jessica.

The blonde wore a full-length purple satin dress and matching shoes and accompanied Nanny Pat who wore a glitzy gold jumper and also carried a faux fur jacket.

Celebrating the last episode of series three - which was shown on ITV2 last night - the group then headed to London to enjoy their wrap party at the Penthouse.

TOWIE favourite Chloe Sims was seen arriving on the arm of her cousin, Joey Essex.

The brunette went all out in a low cut red dress and wore matching bright lipstick as did fellow TOWIE star, Lauren Pope who wore a gorgeous red number by Alice's Boutique that accentuated her great figure.

Joey looked suave in a pair of tight blue jeans, a white shirt and navy blue blazer.

But not one to be upstaged, Mario Falcone went one step further and arrived wearing a blue suit complete with a matching waistcoat.

Twins Dino and Georgio wore matching light grey suits, with contrasting pink and blue shirts, though it was still impossible to tell the difference between the two.

They were accompanied by a female friend, who took pride of place in between the twosome.

Already glammed up ready to hit the west end for their wrap party stars of the show including Lauren Pope, Chloe Sims, Arg, Lucy Meckleburgh and the Faiers sisters were seen chatting with guests and quaffing champagne at the launch.

And, thanks to their appearance at the vintage shop on Loughton High Street in Essex, they all missed Lauren Goodger's beauty product launch, which took place at the Glasshouse in central London.
