We know Shirley Carter, portrayed by legend Linda Henry (pronounced Onreé to honour her French roots) is a British icon, but do we appreciate her contributions to style and fashion? Let’s take a trip
Shirl’s collection of jackets.
For every day of the week, Shirl owns a fabulous jacket that can encompass her ever polarising mood. Usually with a theme of leather, Shirl knows exactly how to grab attention, and we always come flocking.

Cosplay Shirl.
Never one to shy away from dressing up for any occasion, Shirl revels in transforming herself. Much like pop superstar Lady Gaga, Shirl defines herself by “eras”, and this was one of her best.

Slaggy Shirl
Not to suggest leather and short skirts are unbecoming, rather this was the era where Shirl would go with any Tom, Dick or Harry that came her way- and she was unapologetic about it! This skimpy look was a fan favourite from our youthful legend.

Futuristic Shirl
Pink, bold and beautiful. You will notice how Shirl wears the coat, the coat doesn’t wear Shirl. Stylish as always and with a look hardly anyone could pull off, we’re all left asking, just how does she do it?!

Prince Eric Shirl.
The only lady who could perhaps play Prince Eric in the live adaptation of The Little Shirlmaid. Dominant and sexy, Shirl looks like she’s about to save a drowning princess (Sharon perhaps?) and take a visit down to her lagoon.

Shield-Shirl
Borrowing this look from her overseas sister, Shirl is all about protection and safety. Rocking this face shield with a tailor made black jacket, Shirl can cause as much carnage as she likes. And why? Because she can quite frankly.

Virginal Shirl.
What lady can rock a white suit quite as well as the Princess Diana of Walford? You’ve guessed it, Shirley Carter. Tight fitted and extremely revealing of the gusset area, we can only begin to imagine the joys Phil experienced in Shirl’s bedroom.

Incognito Shirl.
Shirl loves putting this garment on, but she loves to take it off On the surface, Shirl is serving a timeless look, but underneath? She’s wearing nothing but her youth and vitality
