How to Dress Like Shailene Woodley

Shailene Woodley

Shailene Woodley is a young actress who is best known for her role in the hit show the OC and later for her role on the show The Secret Life of the American Teenager. At just 17 years old it is no surprise that she dresses like a typical teenager at times, but what may surprise you is that she can dress up and look as good as actresses that have been in the game for a long time when she attends a red carpet event.

Woodley has an all-natural beauty to her and her slender figure allows for her to look great in almost anything she puts on. Here are some ways that you too can look like Shailene Woodley:

•    The teen look: Woodley can look as typical as any other teen on any given day. When in this mode she still will actually dress on the nicer side. You can accomplish this by doing as Woodley does and finding a nicer pair of dress pants to wear. She tops this off with a typical t-shirt but then may top that off with a very sophisticated turtleneck sweater. Get some classy looking flats for your footwear and you will have the classic Woodley teen look down. Of course she still wears the occasional jeans and t-shirt combination and because she is so slender, she does wear skinny jeans. But if you can pull off skinny jeans too, then you actually have two teen looks that you can go for.
•    Formal look: Woodley can match the best of them when she hits the red carpet. She likes to wear sleeveless dresses that come all the way down to her ankles and she usually wears a lighter color such as white or cream. Be sure that you go with a dress made of a nice lightweight material and have it be form fitting, but not too tight. Finish off this look with a nice pair of open-toe heels that are not too high and accessorize with a nice conservative bracelet, a few necklaces that hang, and pair of earrings that hang.
•    Jackets: A lot of the outfits that Woodley wears in her teen look will be accompanied by a jacket. She likes darker colored jackets and has even been spotted in a jean jacket or two. You may want to save the jackets for a cooler day and you certainly don’t want to wear them if you are wearing a sweater, but the option is there if you so desire.
•    Hair and make-up: Both hair and make-up are on the lighter side with Woodley. To mimic her hair due simply part your hair in the middle and wear it down. Spend some time styling it, but not a lot. When applying your make-up you have to go for the all-natural look that Woodley pulls off with ease. About the craziest she will get with her make-up is a darker shade of pink for her lip stick.

All that will remain for you is to learn how to flash a winning smile wherever you go and you will then look exactly like Shailene Woodley.

Carly Shay

How to Dress Like Carly Shay from iCarly

Carly Shay

One of the most popular shows that are still running on Nickelodeon is the show about a girl who has her own web show called iCarly. To no surprise that girls name is Carly and along with her two best friends Samantha and Freddie the three produce their own popular web show. The three always seem to have something fun and exciting going on both on and off the show. The character of Carly Shaw has taken America by storm and there are now many mid-teen girls that want to dress like this fictional character.

On the show Carly dresses in much the same way as you would expect any teenager to dress and is changing her outfits often. Here are some of iCarly’s looks that you too can accomplish with much ease:

•    Casual look: Carly likes to go for jeans and a t-shirt in this type of dressed down style. She will usually dress this way on the show when the three teens are just hanging out and the environment is more casual. To get this look, go for a pair of form fitting, but not tight, blue jeans and really any cute t-shirt that you like. Carly will often wear a light sweat jacket over her shirt and it usually has a hood. For footwear you can go with a nice pair of dress flats or you can even go with white sneakers if you are more comfortable doing so. Accessorize with a simple watch and conservative earrings and you got the casual look pinned down.
•    Web show look: Here Carly tends to get a little more on the dressy side. She will shed the sweat jacket for a more fancy style jacket and will usually change the shirt as well. Go for a nice long sleeved shirt or even a half sleeved button down. Carly usually goes with brighter colors when doing iCarly like reds and oranges. She only wears the dress flats on the show and she really doesn’t add anything in the way of extra accessories when on the web show.
•    Dresses: When the television show takes the three friends outside of the home, Carly often sports a wide variety of fun sundresses. She again sticks with brighter and more cheery colors and can either be spotted wearing those same dress flats or a nice pair of pumps with a very short heel. Because the show is a kid’s show, the dresses are never too short and typically come down to about her calves.
•    Hair and make-up: When doing your hair, do it typical Carly fashion and part it on one side and then simply wear it down. Carly will also sometimes add a little curl to her hair so feel free to break out the curling iron and give your hair some loose curls if you want to. When applying your make-up try to stay on the natural looking side and don’t go with dark colors. Carly likes to use pinks when it comes to her lips, but never anything that is too attention grabbing.

Once you have pegged the iCarly look, go out and recruit some friends and maybe you too can make your own web show.

Carrie Bradshaw

How to Dress Like Carrie Bradshaw

Carrie Bradshaw

The HBO series and then later big screen movie of Sex and the City gave a whole generation of women a new way to look at life. One of the most popular characters on the show is Carrie Bradshaw who is played by Sarah Jessica Parker. On the show Bradshaw is a self confessed shopping junkie. She has been heard on the show saying that she has bought issues of Vogue magazine instead of food and loves shoes. Her fun style of mixing today’s fashions with vintage fashions of yesteryear makes her style a desirable one to copy.

Here are some of the ways you can emulate this popular television character:

•    Dresses: When wearing dresses you should go for the type that are strapless and look like they may have come out of the seventies. Bradshaw is frequently seen in these types of dresses on the show and will frequently accentuate her dresses with a light jacket or sweater. One of her funkier looks on the show saw her wearing a longer trench coat and multicolored leggings to go with one of her typical short dresses. So really you can go wild here, just try your best to mix some of yesterday’s fashion with some of today’s.
•    Pants: Though not too often, there are times that Bradshaw is on the show wearing a pair of pants. These pants are khaki style pants and are typically form fitting. Be sure not to go too tight as Bradshaw never reveals too much, at least not on her lower half.
•    Shirts: When wearing pants, Bradshaw will top them off with a nice vintage style white button down shirt that usually has some sort of frilly design. This can be accessorized in a number of different ways according to how your mood for that day is.
•    Shoes: Once again, Bradshaw is a self-proclaimed shopping addict and has said on the show that she has bought over $40,000 in shoes in her lifetime. The types of shoes that she wears on the show are indeed some of the most expensive on the market and can range in price from $350 to $500 per pair. But the point here is that you can wear what you want when it comes to shoes. Again you can have fun mixing and matching according to your mood and you do not have to feel like you have to spend an arm and a leg on your shoes.
•    Accessories: Bradshaw approaches her accessorizing much the same way she does every other aspect of her dress; by having fun. Sometimes she will be seen wearing a scarf and other times a hat will fit the bill. As for jeweler she is on the show going all out at times and being very conservative at others.
•    Hair and Make-up: Bradshaw gives ample attention in both areas and to totally emulate her look, you should too. Her hair is wavy and you can emulate this with a curling iron. Her make-up is put on rather heavily but she never goes with bright or dark colors.

Again, have fun mixing and matching fashion from different eras and when you feel that you are all set, hit the city for a night out with the girls.

Camilla Belle

How to Dress Like Camilla Belle

Camilla Belle

Camilla Belle is a young actress that is seeing her acting career take off and has recently had a boost with a role in the movie  10,000 B.C. and Lost World: Jurassic Park.  Off the scene, Belle is one of the most elegant and graceful dressers in Hollywood today. Her pretty looks combined with her stunning fashion has many women today wanting to dress like her.

You too can dress like Belle if you have the time and patience to dedicate to this look. Here are some tricks and tips to help you accomplish this timeless look:

•    Casual skirts and dresses: When out and about or even in an interview, Belle looks both stunning and casual at the same time. The dresses she wears tend to be on the shorter side and made of a lighter material. She likes to stay on the darker side of the color spectrum with colors such as greens, blues, and even black as her favorite. When choosing your color of dress, go with what best matches your skin complexion. Skirts should be on the short side as well and keep the same color theme in mind.
•    Formal wear: If you plan on looking like Belle for a formal outing then you need to plan on going big. Belle always wears long and flowing gowns on the red carpet and these gowns are usually made of a silky and shear material. When going formal Belle changes position on her color scheme and likes to go with the lighter colors that are cooler in nature. Light blue is a favorite of hers and she wears it very well.
•    Shoes: Pumps and high heels are in tall order here. When going formal go for the heels but be sure that the height is not too much. When going casual in dresses and skirts then a nice pump will certainly do the trick. Colors should be matched with what you are wearing.
•    Accessories: Belle likes to be on the flashy side when it comes to her accessories. She often wears bigger earrings and is more times than not seen wearing a gold necklace. Bracelets are not out of the question either and if you want to wear them feel free to do so.
•    Hair and make-up: Belle stays on the lighter side of make-up but tends to really use a lot of blush to accentuate her cheek bones and also uses a lot of eye shadow so you should attempt to do the same. When going formal go for a brighter red lip stick as opposed to the more flesh tone color that you will want to use when just dressing casual. Simple is the word for hair and Belle is often seen with her hair put either up or down. Her hair is long and straight so to emulate it perfectly, you can use a hair flattening iron to achieve the look.

Again, dressing like Belle requires a little more time and patience then just dressing like many of the more laid back Hollywood starlets of today. If you can pull it off though you will get looks throughout the day as Belle’s style is one that is truly stunning.

Russo’s style is not a very hard one to mimic and dressing like her can be accomplished by following a few simple steps.

To pull of the fun and vivacious fashion styles of Alex Russo, follow these guidelines:

•    Shirts: Russo tends to always wear either the traditional t-shirt, or the Henley style shirts that are in between short sleeved and long sleeved. She is always seen in bright bold colors no matter what style she is wearing so when you choose your shirt go with fun and vibrant colors such as purples, greens, and yellows. If you go with a longer sleeved shirt, you can pick up a pull over vest to help accessories the look.
•    Pants: Russo often wear jeans, but not just any old pair, this wizard opts for skinny jeans. Skinny jeans are tough to pull off unless you are skinny to begin with, so if you don’t want to go with skinny jeans you can always just pick out a form fitting pair to wear. Again the colors you choose should be fun and vibrant and Russo is very often seen in purple jeans.
•    Shoes: This one is extremely easy to nail as nine times out of ten Russo wears the same style of shoes on the show. Her favorite footwear is the classic Converse tennis shoe, low-top cut, and the color she seems to prefer is black. The only exception seems to be if she is straying from the jeans formula and wearing a skirt. At those times you will see her in black knee high boots.
•    Head wear: If Russo is not wearing a fluffy looking knit hat she usually has some sort of head band in her hair. Go wild with color and design here because Russo certainly does.
•    Accessories: One of the things that Russo is often seen wearing is a scarf. She seems to really gravitate towards the multicolored ones that are a cross between green and purple and wild designs such as paisleys are not out of the question either. She is usually sporting bigger earrings in the hoop style and sometime they are plain hoops and at other times they are a fancy designed hoop. She also wears multicolored rings from time to time and even an occasional necklace with a gold pendant.
•    Hair and Make-up: Russo is very simple when it comes to her hair and make-up. When fixing your hair you can pull it back or let it lie, just be sure it is casual either way. For your make-up, go for the light and clean look as Russo tends to be on the ‘All-American’ side of the make-up spectrum.

Once you have completed your dress up, simply have fun and try not to cast spells on anyone.

Alicia Rivera

How to Dress Like Alicia Rivera

Alicia Rivera

Of all the characters on the fictional show ‘The Clique’ perhaps the most popular is that of Alicia Rivera who is better known on the show as ‘Leesh.’ Of all the girls on the show, Rivera is the girl that is described as the richest and prettiest of all the girls in The Clique and though she is not the actual leader, her rebellious attitude that makes her want to be so is what also has many girls wanting to copy the way she dresses.

To dress like Rivera you have to have confidence as the character is always striving to be the best she can be. Here are some steps to follow in order to pull off the Leesh look:

•    Shirt: To begin with you will need a short sleeved but colored polo style shirt. Go with a lighter gray or white, but be sure to steer clear of a darker color as that will clash with the rest of the outfit.
•    Dress: The dress should be a bow tie satin dress and should slip right over the polo shirt you wear. The color is really up to you but if you want to emulate Rivera best, go with a dark purple or dark blue dress.
•    Shoes: Leesh usually wears a rounded-toe leather pump with the word ‘love’ across the front. Of course the color should match the dress and if you can’t find pumps with the word love on them, any rounded-toe pump will do. Make sure that the heel of the shoe is not too high as this will detract from the rich girl look.
•    Hosiery: The typical Rivera dress is usually accompanied by some sort of knee high hosiery with some type of pattern. Part of the pattern will match the dress and if you can have another part of the pattern match the polo shirt.
•    Gloves: This may be a rich girl thing, but Rivera is often seen sporting silk gloves. Her gloves are usually a dark gray and will feature some sort of fancy design on them.
•    Accessories: Go big and bold here. Leesh is often seen wearing big and flashy gold necklaces and her earrings are sometimes flashy and sometimes conservative. You can also go with a nice broche on the upper right side of the dress if you really want to nail the look. When you go for a purse think designer. You may not be able to afford a Gucci or other designer type, but you can pick up a knock off brand at the mall that will look just fine.
•    Hair and make-up: Rivera’s hair and make-up are always done to the nines. You should take extra time to give your hair some added curl if it is not already curly and never wear it up. When applying your make-up you have to go all out and remember that you are going for the rich girl look so you can expect to spend a little more time than usual in front of the mirror.

Remember to be confident and act as if you are rich when dressing like Rivera and you will have no trouble at all pulling off the look.

David Beckham

How to Dress Like David Beckham

David Beckham

David Beckham is an international superstar and sex symbol. An English “footballer”, or soccer player, he is known as much for his good looks and his marriage to Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham) as he is for his athletic ability. David Beckham is one of those stars that both men and women are drawn to.

David Beckham’s style is varied and always trendy. His fashion runs the gamut from soccer jersey and shorts to high fashion with designer labels. To dress like David Beckham can be challenging but can also be a lot of fun!

To dress like David Beckham the athlete is the easiest place to start. He currently plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy so a Galaxy jersey would be essential. Along with the jersey you should wear matching shorts, white socks, shin guards and soccer cleats. When not playing in a soccer game, David will often wear athletic apparel such as a sweat suit made by Adidas, one of his many sponsors. Any of these items can be found at any sporting goods store.

While dressing like David Beckham the soccer player would be fun and good for costume parties or Halloween, dressing like David Beckham the style icon can be more challenging with a lot more variety.

The first and most important component of the David Beckham look is his hair. David’s hair is generally blonde with a sexy tousled look, which you can do on your own by putting styling gel in your hands, grabbing your hair, and sort of scooping it toward the middle to create a bit of a faux hawk. David has also been known to shave his head down to just stubble. Whichever look works best for you is what you should go with. You could also opt for a wig to try to duplicate his blonde locks.

The next thing to consider when dressing like David Beckham are his numerous tattoos. He is known for a number of tattoos including ones of his children and his wife. If you don’t feel like making that kind of commitment to imitate his look you can choose to apply temporary tattoos.

Finally, when dressing like David Beckham, go with layers! David loves to layer his clothes. Start with a pair of jeans or dress slacks that really fit your body. Add a dress shirt or t-shirt that also fit. On top of the shirt put on a vest or a sweater that coordinate with the pants and shirt. For a more formal look add a tie or an overcoat. Add a coordinating belt, a trendy pair of shoes and a cool pair of sunglasses and you’ve got the look!

David Beckham is a celebrity with his own style. He is known the world over for his looks, but dressing like him can be just a matter of picking a few simple items. Whether going for the soccer player look or the stylish look, dressing like David Beckham is simple and fun!

Tiger Woods

How to Dress Like Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods

In the world of golf there is no name that is more recognizable than that of Tiger Woods. He seems to win every time he plays and when Woods is playing in a tournament the rest of the field is usually competing for second place. Woods is also a smashing success in the business world and brings in millions of dollars every year in endorsements alone. So successful is woods that men everywhere are using the golf clubs he uses, using the golf balls he uses, and of course dressing like him too.

Tiger is not that hard to mimic when it comes to the way he dresses. When you think about looking like Woods you really only have to think about two things; red and black. You too can look like Tiger Woods by following these simple procedures:

•    Shirts: Unless it is cold outside you will always find Woods wearing a short sleeved shirt. Believe it or not they are not always collared either. Woods has made famous a type of ‘collarless’ golf shirt that is made of a special climate controlled material and what was once a no, no on the golf course is now widely accepted. When you choose your shirts, always go for red and black as this is what woods wears about 85 percent of the time. To really nail Woods, be sure that your shirts are Nike brand as that is Woods’ biggest sponsor and therefore that is all he sports.
•    Pants: If Woods ever wears shorts, he certainly doesn’t do so on the golf course. He can always be found wearing a dark colored pair of trousers that are usually pleated and cuffed. He tops those off with a nice black belt and that is all there is to the underside of Tiger Woods.
•    Hat: Woods is often seen on and off the golf course wearing one of his two trademark hats. He is either wearing his Nike ‘Swoosh’ hat or his Tiger Woods hat that is distinguished with the TW on the front. His TW hat is almost always black and his Nike hat is usually either black or red.
•    Accessories: For all the money the guy has made, he is simply not a flashy guy. Off the golf course he wears a pretty nice watch, but that is it as far as jewelry goes. On the golf course the only accessories you will find Woods dawning is his customary white glove on his left hand and maybe a sweater vest from time to time.
•    Hair: Tigers hair is always short and trim. The only variation Woods allows himself is an occasional gote. If you want to complete the Tiger look you will have to get your hair cut short and keep it very prim and proper.

All that is left is for you to practice your golf every day for about 12 hours per day and after 20 years or so your golf game may match Tiger’s, but probably not. Oh well, at least you can look like the superstar.

Osment likes to layer her shirts so you should start with one that is long sleeved and then go to one that is short sleeved to wear over top. Finish it off with a jacket that has a hood. With her hip-hop look Osment always wears a poofy looking hat and turns the bill of the hat sideways. Footwear can consist of high top sneakers and you can accessorize the look with some bracelets and rings, but nothing too flashy.
•    Classic casual look: When Osment is doing an interview or appearing somewhere where the camera will be on her she tends to dress in a more classic casual way. She likes to wear dresses that are about knee length and she really doesn’t stand fast to any color rule. When choosing your dress, pick one that is made of a lighter material and don’t be afraid of fun and exciting patterns. Osment likes to wear solid colors but does occasionally go all out in the design and pattern department. With her dresses she always wears a sophisticated looking pair of heels that you can easily imitate so long as you are sure that the shoes compliment and match the dress. Accessorize with light and elegant earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and rings and you will have her classic casual look down.
•    Hair and make-up: Osment has lovely long hair and almost always shows that fact by wearing it down. To achieve the same style that she does with her hair you can loosely curl your hair with a curling iron and use some heavy holding hair spray to keep it in place. When you go to apply your make-up think light and natural as Osment always looks conservative in her make-up application. Stay away from darker colored or wild colored lip stick and instead stick to a more flesh toned color that gives the appearance of you not really wearing any lip stick at all.

Lastly to complete her look you will have to always carry a winning attitude and smile with you wherever you go as Osment does. Now you have all the components to look like this up and coming super star actress.

Spy

How to Dress Like a Spy

Spy

When you think of the classic spy look you think of a not so undetectable person that is trying in vain to be sneaky and is wearing a long trench coat, a hat, and big dark glasses. If you are going for the ‘obvious’ spy look then this is definitely the approach you want to take. However if you really want to be and dress like a spy then the whole idea is to not stand out.

Blending in is the key when dressing like a spy, here are some sure ways to pull of the spy look:

•    Your clothes: When dressing like a spy, the only time you will want to dress like an ‘obvious’ spy would be at a spy convention, otherwise you will stick out like a sore thumb. When dressing like a spy, dress as the environment dictates. This may mean wearing things you are not used to but if you really want to blend in and be spy-like you will have to bite the bullet.
•    Hair: Here’s one that you may not think about; your hair color. If you have flaming red hair or bright bleach blonde hair you will draw unnecessary attention and once again stick out like a sore thumb. You can do two things here. The first is temporarily color your hair. There is hair coloring available that can be applied to make your hair a darker and more undetectable color and it will wash out once your mission is done. Just be careful that you don’t spy on a rainy day as this type of coloring is anything but waterproof. The other way to temporarily change your hair is with a wig. The nice thing about using a wig is that you can not only change your hair color, but your hair length as well.
•    Accessories: Glasses, fake mustaches, and fancy watches are great…if the situation permits. Remember to stay low key with everything and blend in. That said; go for subtle pair of sunglasses versus the traditional ‘bug-eye’ sunglasses that you see in the old spy movies and don’t wear your sunglasses at night.
•    Attitude: Don’t go for the mysterious attitude, but rather go with a more depressed attitude. If you act mysterious you will once again draw more attention to yourself. But if you act depressed, there will not be many that will want to approach you which will allow you to conduct your spy business easier.
•    Spy gadgets: These are really cool and can be tons of fun. But if you have them out or even tucked into an obvious briefcase, you are not going to achieve your blending in goal. Instead carry all of your spy trinkets in a regular looking backpack. It is much more common these days to see people carrying backpacks as opposed to briefcases. The one exception would be if you were acting as a spy in a case where you have to dress like a business person.

Now get out there and spy away, just be sure you will look the part and don’t worry, this message will not self-destruct.

Chelsea Staub

How to Dress Like Chelsea Staub

Chelsea Staub

Chelsea Staub is the true definition of the All American Girl and has been gaining steady momentum and popularity after her roles in recent projects like the movie Brats and the Disney Channel Original Series Jonas. Because of the clean and simplistic way that she dresses she is a beauty that many women wish to dress like. Her style, though easy to copy, can only be pulled off properly if you have the confidence to go along with the simplistic fashion.

To fully pull off the Chelsea Staub look here is what you do:

•    Skirts: Staub like to wear a lot of short skirts. These skirts will vary in style so when choosing yours you can go with tennis style skirts or even denim as Staub is frequently seen in both.
•    Shirts: Staub’s short skirts are always topped off with a simple t-shirt. Sometimes she will wear a shirt with a bit more frills on it, but for the most part Staub stays simple. She often wears a light jacket or even a light sweater when she is seen sporting her short skirts.
•    Dresses: Just like any other woman in America, Staub seems to really like light material sun dresses. These dresses are usually fun and vibrant colors and she is always seen wearing white, yellow, and even light blue. When choosing yours go with lighter colors and pick dresses that you will be comfortable in all day long.
•    Formal: Even when Staub is going all out she looks as natural as can be. Her casual dresses are certainly more on the fancy side versus the sun dresses that she likes, but they are anything but flashy as that is just not Staub’s style.
•    Shoes: This will of course depend on what you are wearing and Staub wears different shoes with different fashions. Typically though she wears heels it is just a matter of whether they are open toe, closed toe, or sandal wedges. Mix and match as you see fit, just be sure that the color compliments the outfit you have on.
•    Accessories: No surprise here, Staub stays conservative. What she does wear in the way of jewelry is always low key and never flashy. She can sometimes be spotted wearing a number of headbands that she seems to like to sport so if you look good in headbands then go for it.
•    Hair and make-up: Though Staub is all natural looking, to emulate her hair you will have to take some time. Her hair is very volumized and you can emulate this by loosely curling your hair and then using hair spray to hold it in place. Her make-up is very natural looking and you should go light in your application and remember that you are going for the All American Girl look. Stay away from bright red lip stick and go with a more flesh tone color as this will give the more natural look.

Now just walk with your head up and your shoulders back and you will look and feel like Chelsea Staub.

Audrey Hepburn

How to Dress Like Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn

The legendary film actress Audrey Hepburn has a style like no other woman on the silver screen. Her name conjures up images of the ideal woman who always looks polished and perfect. Flawless features coupled with a mysterious smile. Clothes seemed to be made just for her, and she knew how to wear them to compliment her slim physique. Audrey is the epitome of the feminine ideal, and her look will never go out of style.

Audrey’s most famous look is her glamorous black dress in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. To get this same look, find a simple but well made black dress that falls to the knees and is sleeveless. The dress needs to be comfortably fitted all throughout, but not so tight that it becomes trashy. Pair the dress with shoulder length black or white gloves. This will give you a classy and demure look.

For accessories, Audrey preferred several strands of pearls or diamonds wrapped around her neck with matching earrings. She always wore over-sized sunglasses and carried around her cigarette in a long cigarette holder. For an evening bag, carry a small black clutch. To finish the outfit, wear either round or pointy-toed black heels.

To get Audrey Hepburn’s hair, start with very short and uneven bangs. Tell your hair stylist to cut them with a razor to achieve the desired effect. Audrey usually sported a pixie cut, but when her hair was longer it was either in a bun or French twist. When dressing up with the black dress, be sure to wear your hair up and add a tiara as a final decoration.

Trench coats are a must. Audrey perfected the trench coat look with a cinched waist in the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. If you buy one that is also water resistant, it can work as a raincoat as well and you can double the amount of wear time you get with the coat.

If you are hoping to look like Audrey in an everyday, casual sort of way, you need to find some Capri pants to pair with a black turtleneck. If the days are a bit warmer, wear a simple white button down shirt with the Capris. Audrey was always a creature of comfort, and wore ballet flats with most of her outfits. They are practical and sophisticated, and don’t leave your feet aching by the end of the day.

Be aware of how you carry yourself. Audrey had flawless grace, and could glide from room to room like liquid. Be conscious of holding your head high, and having gentle movements. Audrey was well spoken and cultured, always having something wise and witty to say, while maintaining an air of elegance. Avoid any crass remarks when imitating her, and try to create an air of mystery that comes with your presence.

Audrey has effortlessly become a fashion icon. She emerged under the same limelight as the more curvaceous types such as Marilyn Monroe, but Audrey understood her own style and body type. She was able to play up her figure with the right clothes and accessories which flattered her slimmer than normal body, and because of this changed the perspective of feminine beauty. Following her style and approach to beauty will empower you to accept all forms of femininity and give you the confidence to be yourself.

•    Dresses: Martin likes to wear dresses and likes to wear a wide variety of them. She can be spotted wearing anything from sleeved, to sleeveless, to spaghetti strap. She has two types of dresses that she usually wears as far as colors go; solid fun and bright and patterns. When selection your solid colors go with pinks, yellow, light purples, or any other fun and happy color. To mimic her pattern wear go with floral patterns as that is the favorite pattern of Martin.
•    Pants: Martin also likes to wear a more dressy style of pants. These pants are usually white in color and are never tight fitting but rather on the form fitting side. Choose a pair for yourself that hug your body but doesn’t squeeze it.
•    Shirts: With her pants, Martin likes to wear a variety of nice looking shirts. She opts for shirts that come down either half way on her arms or goes full long sleeved but the shirts are always made of a lighter material and are typically in the green or blue family.

•    Hair and make-up: Martin has shoulder length blonde hair that is parted to one side and then given a little body. You can accomplish this by using some non-stiff hold gel in your hair.

Use lighter pinks on your lips but be sure not to go crazy and pick a wild hot pink color as doing so will kill the look.

Bottom line when trying to dress like Martin is to keep it clean and fun. Be more on the conservative side and be confident no matter what you have on.

Lucelle Ball

How to Dress Like Lucille Ball

Lucelle Ball

In the 1950s, Lucille Ball was a pioneer in the world of television and fashion. She is best known for her role as a clumsy and goofy housewife in the hit series I Love Lucy. Ball did things on and off the set that made her what many considered a risk taker, but the end result was a loyal following of views for her show and the admiration of women everywhere. Even though she passed away two decades ago, Lucille Ball is still a much beloved icon and women everywhere like to dress like her.

When you think about dressing like Lucille Ball you can’t get away from her quirky character Lucy. Here is how to capture the essence of Ball:

•    Wear a shirtdress: A shirtdress buttons, like a shirt, from the collar to the waist. The garment flares out below the waistline in similar fashion to a poodle skirt. The waist is usually then covered with a belt. This is the classic outfit that Ball always wore on I Love Lucy. Remember that the show was on in a time where there was no color television and only black and white, so go with lighter colors or very dark colors when choosing solids. You can always spruce it up a bit and go for a shirtdress with polka dots as Ball sometimes did.
•    Pump it up: Lucille Ball made the look of pumps famous. Pumps are closed toed shoes that have a bit of a heel to them, but not too high. These types of shoes are the perfect complement to the shirtdress and the color should match the shirtdress. To get the full effect, wear pumps that have the toe come to a point rather that a rounded toe as Ball seemed to prefer this type.
•    Accessories: Like most women in those days, Ball went on the lighter side of jewelry. A simple yet elegant pair of earring and perhaps a small gold chin is about as risky as you want to go here. You can add scarves and even hair scarves that tie up your hair as Ball wore both quite often on the show.
•    Hair and make-up: Lucille Ball wore her hair up 98 percent of the time. Her natural curly hair made it look as though a red poodle was taking a nap on her head. That is probably why her style of hair cut is referred to as a ‘poodle cut.’ If you can, get a poodle cut and go for the complete look by coloring your hair a very bright red to match the fireyness of Ball. When applying your make-up, be sure to accentuate your cheekbones and use a bright red for your lipstick color as Ball did. She also had prominent eye lashes and eyebrows and you can replicate this look with an eye brow pencil and some false eye lashes.

Now that you are looking like Lucy, all you have to do is wait to hear those famous words, “Hey Lucy, I’m Home.”
