Housewife Nicollette's bonkers knickers glory

Fine and Dandini: Nicollette Sheridan's panto-style outfit as she shops in LA yesterday

It looks as if this housewife was so desperate to get her Christmas shopping out of the way that she forgot to dress properly.

Or perhaps Nicollette Sheridan was auditioning to play Dandini in panto as she teamed black Lycra cyling shorts with striped tights and thigh-high black leather boots - finished off with a jaunty grey cap.

The 43-year-old British-born actress, maneater Edie Britt in Desperate Housewives, was shopping and lunching in Los Angeles, where the bulk of her purchases came from trendy clothing and gifts boutique Kitson.

However, we are not sure whether the purchases were for her fiance, singer Michael Bolton, 53 .... or whether Nicollette was panic buying a new outfit after she spotted what she looked like in the mirror.
