Different look: The Only Way Is Essex stars Lucy Mecklenburgh (L) and Jessica Wright pose for Asian Woman magazine along with Sam Faiers


They're well known for their Essex style but recently the TOWIE girls tried out a different look.

Sam Faiers, Jessica Wright and Lucy Mecklenburgh opted for heels with saris to grace the cover of Asian Woman's Winter issue.

With the headline reading The Only Way Is Desi, the look was certainly something new to the TV stars.


Their Asian makeover sees them posing with one another covered in mehndi (henna tattoos) and wearing beautiful bright-coloured outfits.

Enlisted by the magazine for the 'essential guide to turning heads’, Sam, Jessica and Lucy were obviously delighted to try the latest in Asian fashion.

The cover sees the trio posing seriously for the camera in sky-high jewelled stilettos.

Lucy decided to show off her toned midriff wearing a pair of teal-coloured trousers with a purple bandeau top complete with head jewellery and an upper arm cuff, but she later decided to cover up.

In a separate shot she can be seen wearing an embellished dress with matching skinny trousers and a scarf.

The Essex residents shared their insights into beauty, fashion and love with the magazine as well as revealing their most loathed fashion faux pas.

However, they hadn't put a foot wrong in their Asian attire, as Sam - who is known for sometimes revealing a bit too much - looked demure in a coral-coloured sari that covered her assets.

For the cover shot she wore a jewel-encrusted top with a pair of green trousers.

Jessica was the only one wearing a dress for the cover, but rather than opting for her usual shorter hemline, the brunette chose a midi-length red dress that was complete with floral detail.

In other shots she is seen wearing a turquoise sari and also a purple strapless dress with her entire arm covered in mendhi.

Jessica is obviously still on good terms with Lucy following an incident a few months ago in which she defended her brother Mark after he revealed he had spent the night with Lucy.

But it's a good thing that these images were shot before the TOWIE Christmas special was shown last night, as it seems there may be tension between Jessica and Sam now.

During the ITV2 episode, Jessica was seen getting cosy with Sam's ex-boyfriend, Joey Essex, while the blonde looked on.

The group were at a Tudor-inspired party held by James 'Arg' Argent, when the love triangle began to form.

Sam decided to confront Joey over a previous kiss with Jessica, saying: 'I feel like you and Jess aren’t talking to me, it's making me feel awkward.

'For me, it's the first time I’ve seen you with another girl so naturally I am going to get upset.'

But Joey defended himself, replying 'Obviously I’ve been trying to get over you for the past five or six months now and it just ain’t working, I don’t want you to feel like I can't get over you, I can, but I feel like when I am going to do that you step in and say, "No, can't do that."

'Three weeks after our relationship you were getting with boys, I saw that and it broke my heart.'

He obviously didn't take much notice of his ex-girlfriend's feelings as he later locked lips with Jessica under the mistletoe.

No doubt their complicated love lives weren't the topic of conversation with Asian Woman.
