Last year's X-Factor winner and talent-of-the-century, Leona Lewis, has a lot to be thankful for; a killer voice that could put the Mariahs and Whitneys of the world to shame, an endearingly modest girl-next-door persona, stunning good looks and the best-in-the-music-business backing her all the way.

The Toni-Braxton-esque power ballad Bleeding Heart, out now, is Leona's second single; her first, A Moment like This stormed the UK charts last December, hitting the coveted Christmas number one slot and selling over a million copies. With her debut album Spirit - produced by a whole gambit of R&B legends and pop luminaries - out on 12th November, La Lewis is undoubtedly destined for global superstardom.

Style-wise, from shy beginnings, Leona's come out of her shell and has been honing her inner diva of late, smouldering in a Harper's Bazaar shoot and electrifying the red carpets in Dolce & Gabbana, Vivienne Westwood and Roberto Cavalli. She favours ivory, Greek goddess-style maxi dresses, black jewelled gowns and ladylike prom frocks.

Away from the glitz and glam, Leona gets the casual look down to a T with floppy baker boy caps, comfy Ugg-style boots, jeans, cosy wool coats and an array of the latest It bags. A devoted and compassionate veggie, Leona steadfastly refuses to wear leather and fur is most definitely a no-no. We show you how to steal her style (if only we could steal her voice too!):

Carefree coat cool
Even after one of her many transatlantic flights, Leona shows no sign of jet lag and every sign of effortless fashion sense.

This versatile belted M&S coat will see you through the winter with style and looks equally stunning over a party dress and heels as it does over a fuss-free jeans and boots combo.

A luxe grey cashmere v-neck sweater and high-waist straight leg black trousers ooze laidback chic; finish off with a pair of satin pleat pumps and a statement purple shopper for a touch of colour.

High street honey
Taking a well-deserved break for some serious retail therapy, Leona hits the high street in this relaxed mismatched ensemble and manages to pull off daytime, downtime chic with no hint of frumpy.

Team that gorgeous belted coat with a pair of slim fit denims and a fashion-forward puff sleeved top. A soft white knitted bag is oh-so-now, as is a fluffy angora mix baker boy cap and cosy pink fleece scarf.

Leona's beloved Uggs are verging on passé this season; the equestrian flat is the comfy It boot of the moment so invest in these leather-free knee-high lace up riding boots. If patterns are your thing, a pair of on-trend tartan boots in animal-friendly vinyl will score you extra style points.

Paparazzi Princess
Our favourite diva sure knows how to get those bulbs flashing on the red carpet.

This beaded trim dress is guaranteed to bring out the goddess in you and a silvery chainmail clutch and sequin heels add just the right amount of sparkle.

Polish off with a faux fur jacket for a touch of old school glamour.
