Elen Rives: Cat Lady
Single ladies concerned about the years pressing on and your life ending up a series of drinking cider, peeking out at the failing youth of today from behind your net curtains and keeping up a regular feeding schedule for one of your 40 cats:
Elen Rives is here to give you back your power.
Don’t fear being a cat lady. Embrace it.
Or, alternatively, just gaze at the Hello Kitty madness that is her coat and enjoy Elen’s sense of humour – she is at the 35th anniversary celebration of the much-loved brand at Sketch in London, after all.


Even without that hideous coat she would look… hmm. Confused. I mean, hello, those shoes are just. They're just. Unacceptable.
never understood this woman…..
I dont care where is.
This is unacceptable.
and this is exactly the reason why shes an 'EX'
Kickette, you scared me
That is just… wow. Wow, Elen, wow.
The woman is insane. Hilarious, nice sense of humor, but… that’s insanity. I think Luna and Isla would have liked it, though, lol.
Frank is nothing without his crazy, little Spaniard.
Coat, tights, shoes, blah blah blah, it’s all been said. I can’t believe no one has spotted the giant, glaring SPOT IN THE MIDDLE OF HER FOREHEAD. I feel as if I’ve stared upon a triclops.
comment of the week
Haha! It's quite funny though. But all I cant see is that the dress looks, err, from what I can see, somewhat decent. If she had lost the tights and picked prettier shoes, this could have been a funny, quirky outfit. Now it looks all weird in my opinion.
She tries so hard! Always gets it wrong.
ew, ew, ew! and look at her shoes. yuck. i don’t care what anniversary it is, it this is never okay. why can’t she do what kimora does and just wear diamond hello kitty stuff?
Gracias, Kickette.
I missed Elen.
WOT.IS.THIS
This kind of stuff works on Gaga…but I don’t even know about…THIS!
Since it's Halloween week and all, i'll accept this, Elen….just this once…
As much as I've rolled my eyes at her "fashion sense" in the past, I think this is all in fun. This outfit in particular screams "quirky person who doesn't care about what's in fashion" – she just wears what she wants! It makes me feel like she is not a pretentious person and knows how to have a laugh.
Can't agree with "quirky person who doesn’t care about what’s in fashion". Elen always tries to wear trends that "in fashion" and copies looks from magazine and runway. She wants to be fashionista so much, but always gets it wrong and looks like this.
love her soooo much…..
I wish she got back together with frank…. >.<
[...] I think it’s a good thing Frank Lampard split from Elen Rives. Uh…yeah. [Kickette] [...]
Forget about the coat… it’s funny. But the red dress, brown belt, grey tights, purple “shoes” — did she get dressed in the dark?
She's kidding, right? Right? Because otherwise…. wow.
There is only one good thing in this pic: the coat.
AGREED.
Oh FFS…. maybe she did it to get a giggle out of her girls?
[...] See Joe Cole’s missus wearing an astonishing cat coat. Yes, a cat coat. [Kickette] [...]
I love Hello Kitty, but this is just tacky. :S
GOD I LOVE HER! (Hate her shoes)
At least Elen has a sense of humour…
I think it's funny. It's obvious that she wouldn't wear this get-up under normal circumstances.
Is it??
Jesus H. Christ . . .
uhm… yeah thats all i got to say
elen is about one cuddly toy short of hiring a photographer and stalking frank on his next evening out, isn't she?
Those sandals are by Marni.And because this is like the 3rd Marni outfit and looked ugly in all of them(including the one she copied entirely from Vogue) makes me think she read that article that talks about the fact that only a true fashionista wear difficult brands like Marni, Prada, Westwood!
I love Vivienne Westwood and dont find her clothes "difficult". They seem to work for Kate Moss!!!
(Personaly, I would take any of V. Westwood's clothes/accessories over some of the stuff certain WAGs like to barely cover themselves with!)
Loooove Elen too.
I dont think she is clueless when it comes to fashion….she just doesnt care and thats refreshing.
Where as Victoria Beckham is a willing fashion martyr who looks unhappy 99% of the time, Elen strikes me as someone with a sense of humor and who just wants to enjoy life, no regrets.
Bless her and those ugly shoes.
I LOVE IT! Mostly because I love Hello Kitty… Gotta love Elen, she obviously has a great a sense of humor (but no fashion sense). Agree with all, the shoes are hideous.
ok. this is weird.
She keeps reminding us all why she is no longer with Frank.
Oh my god! I love Hello Kitty stuff but this is too much and… WTF are those shoes???
:-O
This can't be for real.
She makes the world a much tackier, more entertaining place. For the record, there are much less humiliating ways to celebrate Hello Kitty.
Thank God for Elen Rives. Who else could amuse us so much??
OH… MY… GOD… she didn't. Yes, she did…
Just desperate attention seeker
But LMAO, it made my day
OH NOOOOO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! Elen just made my day! Hideous shoes, but I don't think any other wag could pull that outfit off! Here I am wishing Lamps and her would ger back together lol.
Lamps needs to grovel and get her back
Please tell me your joking, lucky escape frank me thinks.
She looks like a total idiot.
GAGA DID IT FIRST
