LIAM GALLAGHER once branded Chris Martin “a geography teacher with a gawky bird”.

 

Perhaps the Coldplay singer took it to heart - because now he’s a weird hippy soldier. . . with a gawky bird. The geeky singer and his bandmates have been sporting ridiculous French Revolution-style clobber as they plug No1 album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends.

 

The look ties in with the album’s arty front cover – but it makes you wonder how Chris holds on to movie star missus Gwyneth Paltrow. We don’t really think she’s gawky. Even so, Coldplay are one of the biggest bands in the world and our bet is the odd distressed sergeant look is going to be big.

 

So you can steal a march on the rest of the wannabes, here CHLOE WOOD and NICKY HARLEY tell you how to copy Coldplay for a tenner.

 

See below for the step-by-step guide.

 

1. Ditch polos and beanies - things have to get weird if you want to be a rock star.

 

2. Raid mum’s jewellery box for the tackiest bangles and some odd rings.

 

3. Chris has “Make Trade Fair” penned on his hand. Go for “The Sun - We Love It”.

 

4. Hit charity shops for your jacket. French Revolution chic is what you’re after.

 

5. For the distressed look, trample on your coat and cause a few rips.

 

6. Offer to do the dishes - you’ll need tea towels for the strange arm decorations.

 

7. Finish it off with tape down your trousers and black baseball boots. All you need now is a hottie like Gwyn on your arm. Good luck - looking like that, you’ll need it.
