EXCLUSIVE: Gemma Collins shares her hopes to cover Vogue as former editor Edward Enninful

Gemma Collins has shared her hopes to front British Vogue as she revealed the magazine’s former editor Edward Enninful is a fan of hers.

After ditching her ‘loud and proud’ style for ‘a look that’s more Victoria Beckham’ the TV personality, 42, discussed toning down her outfits in an exclusive interview with MailOnline.

Joking she is ‘getting on a bit’, she underwent a transformation with TK Maxx and admitted people might not recognise ‘The GC now she’s looking more VB.’

Elsewhere, Gemma, who once spent £50k a day in Gucci, explained how she now ‘loves a high street bargain’ after her past spending habits left her ‘feeling sick.’

Known for her flamboyant looks with bold, bright colours and plenty of feathers, Gemma gave denim and camel tones a try as she adopted ‘the quiet luxury trend’ in a new photoshoot with the retailer.

The former TOWIE star also revealed her dreams of covering Vogue, she said: ‘I heard Edward Enninful is a fan of mine!’ 

‘I was hoping that he might put me on the cover of Vogue after Maya Jama did her’s.’

Unfortunately, British Vogue’s editor-in-chief announced he was leaving his role, amid rumours of a transatlantic power struggle with Anna Wintour. He has since been replaced by Chioma Nnadi.

‘I don’t know if I’ll ever make it to the cover now!’ Gemma exclaimed, ‘I was pinning all my hopes on Edward Enninful being a fan!’

Speaking of her style overhaul, she added: ‘I like to be loud and proud but since finding the quiet luxury trend I’m going to whack on those Autumnal tones.

‘I am getting on a bit now, I am 42 and there’s a time and a place for everything.’

Citing Posh Spice as her inspiration, Gemma said: ‘Victoria Beckham nails it every time and I just thought that maybe I should start strutting through Knightsbridge looking a bit more VB.

‘I don’t think people will recognise me! They’ll be like, “is that The GC in a camel coat?!’

‘These camel and beige tones are exquisite for the winter, so you are going to be seeing a lot more of that from me.’

Bargain hunter: Gemma also admitted that she now ‘feels sick’ at the thought of how much she used to spend, saying ‘people should be buying houses not handbags’

‘For the winter I am going all in. I’ve been pulled out of my comfort zone. I wore a denim skirt! I look stylish, hun.’

As she partner’s with TK Maxx for the ‘There’s No Deal Like a TK Deal’ campaign, Gemma also admitted that she now ‘feels sick’ at the thought of how much she used to spend, saying ‘people should be buying houses not handbags.’

‘I feel really sick about how I used to spend money actually. Everyone maybe needs to get it out their system at some point. 

‘But I do feel sick about how much money I used to spend in the designer stores. If you want a Chanel handbag, that is an investment, but people need to be buying properties and not handbags that’s for sure.

‘Now I go down TK Maxx and I can get a full outfit and everything for the same price as a bag.’
