Singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor has been announced as the new face of hosiery brand Pretty Polly, fronting the company's autumn/winter 2014 campaign and creating her own range of designs, following in the footsteps of previous ambassadors including Jade Jagger, Jemma Kidd, Jamelia and Jessie J.

Ellis-Bextor commented 'Pretty Polly is a brand that has been in my life for as long as I can remember. I love the fact that they're still manufactured in the UK and working with the team on the new designs has been very special; interpreting my penchant for all things fun, quirky and retro perfectly'.
