Poppie Couture Outfits Jordin Sparks for American Idol Season Finale

LOS ANGELES, MAY 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Poppie Harris, LA based fashion designer and celebrity stylist, announced today that Jordin Sparks sang her way through the American Idol Finals decked out in three custom Poppie Couture designs.

With only a week's time to create the custom pieces that Jordin would wear in the Finale, Poppie worked closely with the young artist to achieve just the right look for America's newest Idol. "It was important to get to know Jordin, to make sure that we created designs that didn't just look good on her, but that Jordin felt good wearing -- because that confidence would come through in her performances," stated Harris.

In Part 1 of the American Idol Season Finale, Sparks performed Christina Aguilera's "Fighter" in a stunning black-and-green Poppie Couture minidress/top which featured vintage Venetian lace, silk ombre, and intricate hand-beaded details. Harris then paired the top with black denim jeans to complete the feisty yet feminine look Jordin wanted for the song.

For her second duet of the night (Marvin Gaye's "You're All I Need to Get By" with Ruben Studdard), Poppie dazzled Jordin with a fresh, flirty halter- top dress in bright pink silk chiffon with a sparkling, bejeweled waistband.

American Idol stylist Art Conn said, "Poppie's designs for Jordin were perfect! They looked amazing on-screen, and she felt so comfortable in all of them."

In fact, after being named this year's American Idol winner, Jordin couldn't wait to change back into the gunmetal minidress for the press interviews which followed the performance, saying the shimmering, hand-beaded dress made her feel "like a princess."

Designing for American Idol's newest star has been an amazing experience for Harris: "It was wonderful working with Jordin -- she's such an amazing talent and a genuine, kind person. Jordin and I aimed for high-fashion, exquisite pieces that would reflect her great taste, style and personality -- and I think we hit the right note."
