The only colour is orange: Sam Faiers matches her dress to her tan as she enjoys dinner with Joey and friends
By Sarah Fitzmaurice
Colour coordination: Sam Faiers enjoyed dinner with her boyfriend Joey Essex and friends last night as stepped out in an orange dress which matched her tan
It can be tricky business trying to create the perfect fake tan colour and there is a fine line between flaunting sunkissed skin and looking like you’ve been tangoed.
So when The Only Way Is Essex star Sam Faiers decided to wear a bright orange dress to dinner last night it appeared she had matched her outfit to her skin tone.
The boutique owner, 20, arrived with her boyfriend Joey Essex at Alex’s Restaurant in Brentwood and her deep tan was just as bright as her kaftan-style dress.
Sam teamed her outfit with a pretty patterned clutch and a pair of brown strappy wedges.
Meanwhile boyfriend and promoter Joey opted for a retro look of drainpipe stonewash jeans his favourite brown belt a long-sleeved white Abercrombie and Fitch T-shirt and a camal jacket.
The couple dined with Sam’s sister Billie and her boyfriend as well as a number of friends.
Say cheese: Sam and Joey posed for pictures outside Alec's restaurant in Essex before enjoying a meal with friends
While on screen their affections have been limited to a few pecks on the lips Sam and Joey were seen canoodling together at the dinner table.
At one point Sam stroked his face and later he stroked her lip, perhaps adjusting her orange lip gloss as she hung her arm around the nape of his neck.
Helping hand: Joey adjusted Sam's lipgloss and the pair looked extremely close during dinner
A happy love life isn’t the only thing that Sam has to smile about at the moment she and Billie have found their boutique has been a hit with fans of the reality TV show.
When Brentwood boutique Minnies opened to the public earlier this month, hoards of young girls and their mothers queued patiently to catch of glimpse of the goods on offer at the store.
Tender touch: Sam stroked Joeys face part-way through dinner
During their store launch, the sisters told the MailOnline that they’d love to dress Kate Middleton.
The sisters also named Gossip Girl Blake Liveley and fellow reality stars the Kardashian sisters as their ideal celebrity clients.
But their dream A-lister is Kate, and said: ‘She always looks lovely, but she’s always very smartly dressed. We’d love to see her in one of our dresses.’

Loving the limelight, Philippa is the Middleton sister who doesn't know the meaning of self-doubt. Just don't call her Pippa!
By Catherine Ostler
On show: Pippa Middleton steps out of her cab at the engagement party of Holly Branson at The Roof Gardens Club in West London last Friday
The legs are on show, and the characteristic fake tan is visible through the shiny sheer tights.
She wears towering black stilettos, a brief cocktail dress, lots of twinkling diamond jewellery and heavy make-up — pink blusher and black eyeliner all around the eyes, applied with a trowel. A broad grin is the finishing touch.
Pippa Middleton's appearance in front of the photographers who clamoured for her picture as she left the engagement party of Richard Branson's daughter Holly in West London last Friday cleared up one thing at least: the chief maid of honour is certainly relishing her newfound attention.
Of course, if her sister wasn't marrying the second in line to the throne, Pippa would just be another passably attractive arts graduate from a second-tier university. But in Kate's orbit, she can be a star.
In short, the Bucklebury kitten has got the cream.
Weather girls, Hollywood starlets, Oscar nominees and potential prime ministers have looked less comfortable than she posing for the camera on the publicity circuit.
There 'Perfect Pippa' was again yesterday, in the car with her sister Kate, wearing tasteful navy; and then driving her mother Carole around, sporting 'aviator' shades.
She couldn't have looked less bothered by the latest rumour to emerge from the Palace: that aides have been put out by her bright idea of suspending disco mirror balls in Buckingham Palace's Throne Room for the 'post wedding breakfast disco', to lend it a louche nightclub vibe.
Mirror balls might seem neither original nor necessary, given that the gold-and-red Throne Room is one of the most opulent in the Palace, and a few cheap glittery balls will surely lose in a fight with one of the elaborate gold chandeliers.
But 27-year-old Pippa is nothing if not determined, and she will see off such dinosaur views.
She is one of life's organisers. And as recent pictures amply testify, self-doubt is not her speciality.
Kate's maid of honour is, of course, by trade a party planner, working three days a week at Clapham company Table Talk. She has tactfully wheeled in her accommodating boss, JoJo Browner, to help out tomorrow night.
'Perfect Pippa': Kate's sister looks at ease in aviator shades as she drives her mother Carole away from their family home in Bucklebury yesterday
Pippa spends the other two days of the week editing The Party Times, the online magazine that is a spin-off to her parents' company, Party Pieces.
On Monday, Party Times was pushing customers to buy last-minute bunting for British Street Parties, but this was taken down after all-too-familiar accusations of opportunism.
Pippa gave one interview to promote the site. Another was — at Kate's request — cancelled at the last minute.
Both of these roles are an extension of what Pippa most liked doing at Edinburgh University — which was organising shindigs for friends, and shepherding bright young things into after-dinner activities at grand house parties.
She has, apparently, taken two weeks off from her job to help plan the evening party for 300 at the Palace.
As William wants the evening to be 'young and cool' — odd, given that he has never particularly come across as either of those things — it seems to have been decided that part of the Palace should be transformed into a branch of that somewhat decadent London club, Boujis, for the night.
Pippa's close friend, the raffish Old Etonian nightclub owner Charlie Gilkes, is said to be organising the disco.
He runs Maggie's nightclub in the Fulham Road, which is an Eighties-themed tribute club to Margaret Thatcher, with stools styled to look like those symbols of the age — Rubik's cubes. (You get the picture.)
Furniture and accessories are being imported into the Palace for the night, to differentiate Pippa's party from the rest of the day's celebrations (which will, hopefully, be sympathetic to Palace features rather than trying to eclipse them).
Prince Charles might have won the catering battle by insisting on his favourite chef Anton Mosimann (his menu is a state secret, though one hears whispers of crab followed by lamb), but Pippa is said to have dreamed up the bacon butty and ice cream vans that will sit outside.
Great organiser: Pippa at a party for Starlight Children's Foundation at The Saatchi Gallery in London, left and with her brother James, right
(Like Marie Antoinette and her toy farm, there is nothing jolly young Sloanes love more than a bit of faux proletarian fodder. They find it amusing, so much so that we are in real danger of getting Wills and Kate 'rock 'n' Royal' pork scratchings at this rate.)
At the same time, just as Kate has asked that she be known as Catherine, apparently Pippa has asked to be called Philippa, but this may just be Palace malice.
True or not, she does now have her very own coat of arms; after Friday, Pippa will be the only person entitled to use Kate's original 'three-acorn-with-black-runs' job topped by a blue ribbon. (The bow represents the unmarried Middleton female.)
The recent suggestion that she might use her newfound fame and party planning experience to set up her own company 'in conjunction with her parents' seems highly likely.
She wouldn't be the first of her siblings to do so.
The third acorn on that crest, little brother James Middleton, is less visible than his sisters, but the 23-year-old has registered a series of companies in the past two weeks.
By her sister's side: Kate and Pippa leave their home in Berkshire earlier this week
Not content with the Cake Kit Company (it does what it says on the cake tin — you get all the kit to make a themed cake, be it football or a pink castle, for around £16), James has also registered Nice Cakes, Nice Wine and Nice Group London. All of which suggests an appetite for empire-building unhampered by the tiresome necessity of gleaning experience anywhere.
Like James, Pippa could reduce any start-up costs by setting herself up through her parents' company, publicising herself on their website and locating herself in the Party Pieces' HQ in Berkshire.
It is quite natural that, like James — the two of them share a flat in Chelsea that their parents bought in 2002 — Pippa should now want to be an entrepreneur.
Apart from being the children of self-starters, every young toff now thinks it is their destiny to be the next Branson.
Happy times: Kate, Pippa and their mother at her 26th birthday party in 2007
The younger Middletons have reassuringly close examples in their own set, such as Jamie Murray Wells — William's friend and the now very rich founder of Glasses Direct.
Just as you'll have to search very hard for the notorious and once easily available pictures of James Middleton in a frock at a party, neither will you find friends' pictures on Facebook of a perky Pippa wrapped in loo roll at a private party any more.
Her boyfriend, City financier and former England cricketer Alex Loudon, seems not to share his girlfriend's comfort in the limelight, since he's rarely seen by her side.
On Friday, it will be Prince Harry who will accompany Pippa into the signing of the Register and back down the Abbey aisle.
And by that time any fear — misplaced or not — that the socially hungry Middleton clan's behaviour could affect Kate's relationship with William will have lost its potency.
From now on, Pippa will find herself in the happy position of being sought after in the upper echelons of society, and able to do pretty much whatever she likes.
And on current form, we can be sure that the younger Miss Middleton will enjoy that.

The Royal tent city: If you were hoping for a spot near the Abbey... you're too late!
By MATT BLAKE
Royal fever: People camping in tents opposite Westminster Abbey have assured themselves a good view
Anyone still hoping they can get close to the action outside Westminster Abbey better think again because the area opposite the historic church has turned into a camp site full of Royal fans desperate for the best spot for tomorrow's wedding.
The run-up to the nuptials, which are set to be watched by billions worldwide, has proved a quintessentially English affair - with tea, cakes, tiaras, bunting and flags all on show in and around Parliament Square.
Right royal celebration: Tents lining the cobbled pavement as the world's press do their rounds
Thousands of diehard Royalists from across the world have descended on the patch of central London outside the Abbey as they vie to secure the best viewing position before Kate and Prince William marry.
Many have already camped out for several nights and have come with their tents, sleeping bags and even gazebos as they attempt to cater for all potential turns in the weather.

Huddling together for warmth overnight, they passed around flasks of tea, shared crosswords and pinned reels of bunting to any surface available as they prepared for the Royal event of the decade.
As dawn broke over the historic church, a sea of red, white and blue emerged as hundreds of tents lined the cobbled pavement.
Bewildered tourists were left little space to squeeze past on their way to London's other sights, which have paled into insignificance by the most anticipated Royal wedding since Prince Charles married Lady Diana in 1981.
Some onlookers even wrapped themselves in their Union Flags to beat the brisk morning air, which they will soon unfurl when Prince William and Kate Middleton arrive tomorrow.
Britain's got passion: Amanda Holden quizzes campers outside Westminster Abbey today
Tight squeeze: Some 24 hours before the ceremony, the pavement is already packed
Christopher Farrow, 50, was propping himself up on the barricade, wearing a William and Kate tea towel and a Union flag round his waist, with two flags on sticks tucked into his waistband.
Mr Farrow, from Nottingham, said: 'I can't wait. This is what makes Britain great.
Because of people like us camping out, everybody else wants to get involved.'
'There will be billions of people watching -- and I will be seeing it with my own eyes. I'm going to go absolutely mad -- cheer, shout and wave my flags.'

Nice lie in: A man sleeps in his open tent covered in a Union Flag duvet
Some fans pitched camp as early as two days ago in a bid to get as close to the action as possible.
John Loughrey, 56, was the first to arrive last night with only a sleeping bag and two carrier bags at the start of a week-long vigil to ensure a prime position for the event.
He was dressed in a Kate and William T-shirt, emblazoned with the words 'Diana Would Be Proud' with the images of Kate and William tied round his waist and a Union flag hat.

Very subtle! Kate Garraway shows her support for the Royal Wedding
By SARAH BULL
Patriotic: Kate Garraway wore a Union Jack printed dress as she arrived at the ITV studios this morning
She's not a celebrity usually known for her sense of style.
And today Daybreak presenter Kate Garraway made something of a fashion blunder as she decided to show her support for the Royal Wedding by stepping out in a plunging Union Jack maxi dress.
The 43-year-old presenter looked delighted with her patriotic outfit as she arrived at the ITV studios this morning.
Dramatic: But ITV bosses later ruled it was 'too much' for her to wear on air
However, Daybreak's Entertainment Editor Garraway later tweeted that ITV bosses had ruled the dress was 'too much' for her to wear on air.
She wrote on her Twitter page: 'Gettin in the mood 4 the RW - " powers that be" say " too much" for on air - what u think??!!'
An ITV source later said that Garraway's outfit for Friday is already planned and the presenter was being tongue in cheek with her comments.
Delighted: Kate looked delighted with her outfit, chosen especially ahead of Friday's Royal Wedding
