Coleen Rooney
Formerly known as Coleen McLoughlin
Once ribbed by the press for her fashion sense and spending sprees, Coleen Rooney, neé McLoughlin, took four years to make the leap from schoolgirl to covergirl.
Having emerged into the public eye as the teenage fiancée of England footie ace Wayne Rooney, she has gone on to become a fully fledged celebrity in her own right, applauded for her style and wooed to front big-name ad campaigns.
The rise from footballer's fiancée to style icon and wealthy celeb wife was not without its hurdles, however.
She was born in 1986 in Liverpool to a hardworking Catholic family. The daughter of Tony McLoughlin, a bricklayer who ran a boxing club and his wife Colette, Coleen grew up in the city's tough Croxteth district.
