HE'S MORE used to dazzling on the pitch than off but Saints striker James Beattie proved a model performer in front of the cameras.

Posing with teammate midfielder David Prutton and Kirsty Bell and Holly Anderson - two rising stars from the Southampton Saints ladies' team - the England player was clearly loving every minute.

He larked around with David, pulling faces - and showed the fun side of his personality off the pitch.

Then he turned on the charm with his boy band good looks for the fashion shots.

James was modelling the latest party look for the festive season.

After a spot of star treatment from top hairdressers at Rae Palmer Hairdressing and session make-up artist Helen West, James, Kirsty, Holly and David slipped into some sizzling party looks from WestQuay, Southampton.

More accustomed to wearing football kit or tracksuit and trainers, James and David loved the transformation and stylist Lucy Rosseter said they particularly liked wearing the dapper suits.

"Classic suiting using a contemporary sense of style is perfect for any party occasion. Add some bold shots of colour or a few stripes look great too," she said.
