How to Dress Like Bruno

Bruno

Bruno is a gay Austrian fashionista played by Sacha Baron Cohen. The character Bruno has been rejected by the Austrian fashion world and finds refuge in America, hoping to build a new level of acceptance in the country. He dives into the American fashion world and looks to find acceptance and fame.

Bruno is flamboyant and extravagant. From his clothes to his personality, he is about pushing social boundaries with people and causing extreme discomfort in those that he encounters. When dressing and acting like Bruno, remember that more is more and that to be out of control, obnoxious and flashy is to be Bruno.

Bruno’s clothing is just as bold as he is. To get the same famous shorts with suspenders look, find a pair of skimpy shorts that are bright yellow and have suspenders. You need to wear a bold printed shirt underneath the suspenders. Something that is brown checkered or similar will fit the bill. Next, find a hat that matches the shorts. Add combat boots that are either black or brown and you have the complete look.

Another famous outfit of Bruno’s is a bit more subtle, and that term is used loosely. He pairs tight leather pants with a swirl pattern, and a blue vest that is shredded at the bottom and around the arms. The neckline is cut to the mid chest area and is fitted like a corset with strings. Zippers run along the sides of the shirt underneath the arms. The vest is fitted and short, exposing the stomach. He wears a wide leather cuff to accessorize the outfit.

A feistier Bruno has been seen in animal print. Leopard is the animal of choice, and Bruno wears a tight fitting t-shirt in leopard print paired with matching briefs that are just a little bit too small. Remember that Bruno is proud of his body and not modest in the least form, and therefore likes to wear skimpy and tight clothing to show off his body.
Top off the look with a matching hat and matching ankle boots. The point is to be in animal print from head to toe.

Hair needs to be blond with a few shades of brown, and mostly blond in the front. Comb the blondest parts over your forehead and a bit over your eyes. He sometimes wears his hair in a Mohawk too. Remember that Bruno is a fashionista, so trim those brows and keep them looking clean. If you are up for it, wear makeup to enhance your polished look and make your skin look perfect. You will also need to shave all of your body hair: chest, arms, and legs.

Bruno speaks with an Austrian accent and flirts shamelessly with every man he encounters. His behavior is outlandish and inappropriate. If your behavior is cringe worthy, you’re on the right track. Watch the movie to imitate how he speaks, as this is one of the most crucial ways to act like Bruno.

Dressing up like Bruno is not for the shy or faint of heart. However if you are bold and tend not to care what other people think of you, this is a fun and liberating way to spend your Halloween. You can become someone wildly inappropriate yet wickedly funny, and everyone will appreciate the courage it took to be Bruno for a day.

Janis Joplin

How to Dress Like Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin

In the 1960s a movement of sorts happened and singers like Janis Joplin helped bring the ‘hippy look’ to the forefront. Joplin had a style that was a cross between a hippy, ragamuffin, and even a drifter. Joplin’s life was tragically ended in 1970 at the very young age of 27, but her attitude and style are still admired by many today.

To dress like Janis Joplin it is important to remember that it is not just about the look and style of the clothing but you have to have the attitude to go with it. Joplin had such an air of confidence about her and that is part of what made her be able to pull off such a simple look.

Here are some tips on how you too can dress like Janis Joplin:

•    Jeans: Go with a loose fitting style of bell-bottom jeans. These were a favorite of Joplin’s and there are many pictures of her wearing them. If there are some rips and tears in the jeans, don’t worry as this just adds to the illusion, though you can get creative and sew on a patch or two. If the jeans appear a little on the dirty side, no worries. The more you look like you don’t care about the way the jeans look, the better.
•    Tops: Think hippy. Light and frilly does the trick here. Joplin never wore anything too serious and often chose patterns such as paisley and flowers. You can finish off your shirt with a vest if you like as Joplin did this from time to time as well.
•    Dresses: Joplin also wore a lot of multi colored sundresses that were very loose fitting. The brighter and louder the colors here, the better.
•    Shoes: This is easy as Joplin didn’t wear shoes much and when she did they consisted of little more than a pair of flip flops. You can also get away with a pair of sandals here.
•    Accessories: Big round bug-eye looking sunglasses were a favorite of Joplin’s when she performed outside. She did wear a lot of jewelry but remember to think in the terms of a hippy when you choose yours. Never go with gold and diamonds instead choose accessories like wood bead necklaces. Wear lots of bracelets and get a couple of mood rings too.
•    Hair and make-up: Joplin’s hair often looked as though it had not been brushed in weeks. To pull off this look simply mess up your hair a bit when you get out of the shower and let it air dry. As for make-up, Joplin was all natural so if you decide to use make-up go extra light.

Again, the key in dressing like Janis Joplin is attitude and confidence. Joplin looked confident in every appearance she ever made, even when her jeans were so baggy they were falling off of her. You have to feel good enough about yourself and not give a hoot what the average person thinks if you are going to successfully pull of the Janis Joplin look.

How to Dress Like Larry the Cable Guy

Larry the cable guy

For years now he has captured the hearts of Americans everywhere with his catch phrase, ‘Git er done.’ Larry the Cable Guy has made a career out of dressing and acting like a stereotypical man from the south, or what he likes to call a ‘redneck.’ His style is definitely not hard to replicate and what’s so great about it is that there are so many men that can easily relate to Larry because he is just a regular looking guy.

Larry the Cable Guy’s ensemble never changes and here is what you need to achieve his look:

•    Shirt: Get a red and black flannel shirt and cut off the sleeves at the shoulders. This is Larry’s signature top and he is seen in it everywhere he goes. Make sure not to wear an undershirt as Larry never does, and make sure that the flannel is one size too small. This adds to the ‘redneck’ effect as it not only looks tighter, but will often expose part of your belly and if you have a ‘beer belly’ like Larry, then it adds to the shock value.

•    Jeans: Blue jeans are an absolute must with this look. Don’t go loose fit or boot cut and by all means stay far, far away from skinny jeans. Choose a pair of jeans that are tight but that will allow you to move. Larry always seems to stuff himself into jeans that may not be the loosest on him.

•    Belt: A black belt does the trick here but don’t forget the belt buckle. The belt buckle should be very big and very gaudy. A great place to pick one of these hilarious belt buckles up is at a highway truck stop. When it comes to your belt buckle, the bigger, the better.

•    Shoes: Larry is always in work boots that are a dark tan color. These can be found at any department store. When you put them on, don’t worry about your jeans covering the boots, rather just let the jeans bunch up, that’s what Larry does.

•    Cap: Don’t just grab any old baseball cap and call it a day here. You need to get a trucker cap or one that looks like it. The front half of the cap should be made of a bad polyester material and the back half of the cap should be mess. When you find the perfect cap, don’t forget to form the bill so that the sides are pointing straight down. The result should be a bill that is more squared off rather than rounded off.

•    Accessories: A wallet with a chain works great with this look and you can finish off the look with a can of dipping tobacco in your back pocket and a pack of cigarettes in your front flannel pocket and the look is complete. If you don’t smoke or dip, don’t worry as it is not known for sure if Larry does either. It just adds to the image.

Now practice your southern accent and holler, ‘Git er done,’ every chance you get and your transformation into Larry the Cable Guy will be a big success.

1940s

How to Dress Like You Are From the 1940s

1940s

Without a doubt, the 1940s were dark times. The Second World War occupied the first half of the decade and this had a huge impact on everything from food to work to fashion. Everything was rationed, even clothing. In fact utility clothing and very little change in fashion dominated the first half of the decade due to the focus on the war efforts. Needless to say, there are lots of things about the 1940s that make it a unique decade. However at mid-decade the war ended, and things improved greatly after that. The clothing rationing ended and fashion once again came to life.

One thing that kept heads above water was the great fashions of the 1940s. There is no doubt that the 1940s were one of the greatest decades for fashion. All you need to do is look around and see that the styles from the era are still influential and popular today. It’s one of the greatest times in American fashion and people still love to dress in a way that pays homage to this bygone time.

In fact, all you need to do to dress like you’re from the 1940s is look at what you already have. Most of the clothes you have in your closet will have some trace of a 1940s influence. Modifying your own clothing to make it look more like the traditional 1940s style is a cost-effective way to get the look you desire. Here are some things to keep in mind if you are looking to create a 1940s look to your wardrobe.

•    Keep all skirts below the knee. Mini-skirts were not yet invented and modesty was highly valued. Women dressed like ladies and behaved like ladies.

•    Matching skirts and fitted jackets were a hot look from this era and one that looks good on practically all women.

•    High necked blouses were typical of the style of the day. Bows, frills and feminine ties often adorned necklines.

•    Hats were a very important fashion item. Women wore them often and had a variety to choose from.

•    Other accessories were equally important to pull together a finished look. Purses and gloves were the most common accessories. Jewelry was also used by increasing numbers of women. Scarves were often worn around the hair.

•    Ankle socks were often seen during this decade because stockings were in short supply.

•    High heels and wedge heels were a necessity for well-dressed ladies also.

•    For men, trousers, shirts and ties are typical of this era. Suits were worn quite a lot. Sweater vests with a V-neck were also a fashion statement of the day. In the late 40s Hawaiian shirts broke onto the fashion scene for men, creating a look that was very different than anything men had worn prior.

Dressing like you’re from the 40’s is a matter of a little research and mixing and matching things that you already have at home with some other items exclusive to that era. You can pull together a unique and fantastic 40s look in no time.

She began by teaching others how to cook and has since turned out her own line of cookware, collaborated on many fashion designs for the home, and started Living Omnimedia. Additionally she has a syndicated talk show and continues to come up with many different ways to bring in the bucks. Because she is so successful and talented she is revered by women everywhere. Not only do these women want to learn to cook and decorate like her, but many of them want to dress like her as well.

Martha Stewart has a very simple and down to earth style which makes it very easy to copy. Here are some ways for you too to dress like Martha Stewart:

•    Tops: Stewart tends to stick with tops that are long sleeved. When choosing your tops you can go with sweaters, button downs, or anything else that is long sleeved, elegant looking, and comfortable to wear. Go with whatever color you feel suits you the best as Stewart really has no favorites and has worn every color under the rainbow and then some. If you do decide to go with a short sleeved shirt, make sure you wear a button up sweater or a nice jacket to accentuate the shirt.
•    Pants: Stewart likes to wear dress pants and the color of the pants is all going to depend on the shirt she is wearing. Make sure you choose colors that compliment one and other and don’t go crazy with the mixing and matching.
•    Suits: Another sure fire Stewart look is a nice dress suit. Stewart will often wear suits that are darker in color but usually wears a lighter colored undershirt to go with it.
•    Shoes: Stewart can sometimes be spotted wearing heels, but more times than not you will catch her wearing flats. The shoes you choose will of course depend on the outfit you are wearing and the color of the shoes should obviously go with the outfit.
•    Accessories: Stewart tends to stay on the simple side here and is often seen wearing a simple strand of pearls around her neck. She is also a big fan of scarves so if you can’t afford the pearls you can always take this route.
•    Hair and Make-up: Stewart’s hair is very simple. When you style your hair to look like hers, simply cut it shoulder length and part it down one side and just sweep the hair to both sides. As for make-up, you should use extra make-up in the area of your cheekbones and the rest should come off very natural and very light. If you use lipstick be sure to use lipstick that is not too bright and that blends in with your natural skin tone.

Now practice your cooking and Martha Stewart’s famous catch phrase, ‘It’s a good thing’ and you will be all ready to go.

Geek

Geek

Geeks are unique individuals. They have a lot to offer. The word geek originally was meant to refer to people who are more interested in academics, science, computers, science fiction and other slightly obscure topics. In fact they tend to be so interested in these things that they devote a massive amount of time to them, even to the exclusion of other areas of life like social skills, attention to detail like how they dress and more. However, these days, more and more, geek chic is being referred to as a style in itself and is a respected look. Since people like Bill Gates have become such a success and the world is so dependent on computers, those who were once shunned as geeks are now sought after as geeks. Geek chic is in!

One thing remains the same though. For some reason a geek’s interests are rarely in the world of fashion. An individual who happens to spend a lot of time and energy on fashion and is very much in style is never referred to as a geek. In fact, the easiest way to spot a geek is often to look for those telltale signs that make it obvious that they are obsessed with something besides how they look. In fact some geeks who have help with their fashion choices and definitely have the finances to dress nicely will give away their geekiness because of details. Mismatched socks, a crooked tie, lopsided glasses, a pocket protector serving an oh-so-important function or a fanny pack neatly concealed beneath a jacket are all giveaways. Yes, sometimes it’s difficult to spot a geek. Other times, it can be very hard to miss them.

For a group of people so often fascinated with the future, they seem to live in the past when it comes to their wardrobes. Geeks just can’t be bothered with fashion. They’re too busy saving the world. Therefore, their look may be just a little frumpled, a bit out of date, a tad mismatched or even ill-fitting. It just goes to show that fashion is not everything and certainly not for everyone. Therefore, if you want to get that geek look, go for it. It may even make you look smarter.

Geeks make it easy for the rest of us to dress like them. Dressing like a geek is easier than flipping up a pair of clip-on sunglasses. All you need is a little bit of creativity and a lack of attention to detail. Make sure you look a little less than perfect and you’ll achieve the perfect geek look.

Geeky t-shirts are very common amongst geeks. For anyone striving to dress like a geek, T-shirts make it easy. You can have your very own geek T-shirt custom-made or choose one in a geeky design that appeals to you. Fashion tends to repeat itself. Who knows, maybe your tees or geek style will make geek chic even more the rage and you’ll be seen by those who know you as a geek icon!

Cow girl

Cowgirls are practical people. Their primary passions in life are cows, horses and life on the farm. They don’t tend to get caught up in celebrity gossip, the latest fashions, and whether or not they should be wearing a black belt with their brown boots. In general, cowgirls care more about function over fashion when it comes to their apparel.

How can you blame them? After all, who would want to be wearing a pair of shorts or even a pair of pinstripe trousers when riding full speed through a patch of mesquite? What if you were thrown off of your horse into a cactus? What if your horse stepped on your foot and you were wearing a pair of peep toe pumps? Most of all, it’s just downright dangerous to ride a horse without heeled boots.

It’s true that being a cowgirl means sacrificing a little bit of personal style for the sake of being safe and comfortable while performing daily tasks. Being a cowgirl isn’t exactly for your average mall walker. However, when cowgirls aren’t on the range bringing in the cattle, you can bet the ranch that they are looking their best. Just where do you think the term “Buckle Bunny” comes from?

Cowgirls make up for lost time when they get an opportunity to get out on the ‘town’ and be seen. They dress up in all of their usual western wear. But they do it with enough rhinestones, glitter, and glam that you’d think they were walking the red carpet at the Grand Ole Opry. Buckle Bunnies, otherwise known as rodeo groupies, set the standard in western glamour. Nothing can outdo these gals with their bedazzled teal jeans, glittery fingernails, and big jewelry.

In a nutshell, cowgirls love to look their best. But because their everyday lives require that they get a little dirty every now and then, it’s important that they’re appropriately dressed. However, it’s easy to dress like a cowgirl and look great if you remember to use your imagination when it comes to your wardrobe. With a little ingenuity and attention to detail, you can have a comfortable, practical, cowgirl worthy wardrobe.

But just how do you get your hands on such a collection of western wear? It’s easy to acquire a unique cowgirl wardrobe if you live in a town that has stores specializing in western wear. There are plenty of these around, especially in areas where the lifestyle is prevalent. You’ll find everything you need from cowboy, or cowgirl, hats to boots to belt buckles and beyond. In addition there are numerous online resources now that make it easier than ever to find an extensive selection of western wear, whether you live near such stores or not.

When you want to dress like a cowgirl, you can be the best dressed one on the range when you invest in key items like a good hat, boots and belt buckle. They should tell a little about your style and reflect who you are. Comfortable jeans and a T-shirt, plaid button-down shirt or a cozy jacket will round out your outfit perfectly.  Get your genuine cowgirl clothes today and be the best looking cowgirl around.

Kathy Griffin

Kathy Griffin is a self proclaimed D-List celebrity though her fans would suggest otherwise. The comedian is always finding herself on the opposite end of the best dressed list and is constantly criticized for her sense of fashion. Truth be told though, Griffin actually dresses more like the average person than most celebrities these days. For this reason her ensemble is extremely easy to find and if you want to dress like Kathy Griffin it is a task that is more than doable.

When you think about dressing like Kathy Griffin you should think simplistic. Here are some ways to achieve her ultra easy and sometimes whacky look:

•    Hit the department stores: Kathy Griffin stays true to her claim that she is a D-List performer and appears as though she shops where the average Jane shops. Almost all of her fashions are ones that can be found with ease at your local department store. No need to go to a specialty boutique with Griffin’s look.
•    Pants suit: Griffin is often seen in one of her almost famous pants suits. To emulate this go with a pants suit that is lighter in color and that has a double breasted jacket. Be sure that the pants suit is not too tight as this will ruin the illusion. Finish it off with a pair of sensible high heels.
•    Casual look: Griffin knows how to get casual as well. She often wears jeans and a t-shirt with a cozy pair of white sneakers. If you want to get really creative here you can get a vest to wear or even a nice jacket or sweater.
•    Formal wear: When this D-Lister hits the red carpet she does it in style. She likes to wear form fitting dresses that are made of a silky and sheer material. Feel free to go wild with colors here as Griffin likes to wear many shades of reds, blues, and even pinks. Finish off the dress with a pair of open toe high heels that match the color of the dress.
•    Show your stuff: To further emulate Griffin it is important to show off our cleavage. Griffin like to show how well endowed she is and is often wearing low cut shirts, skirts, and dresses that show a good deal of herself.
•    Assessors: Griffin either goes all out in this department or not at all. If she is wearing accessories they are big and gaudy. She will wear big necklaces and bracelets, and even big earrings.
•    Hair and make-up: Griffin usually keeps her hair down and keeps it curly. You can add to the look by coloring your hair the same fire red as hers is. As for make-up, go all out. Griffin wears a lot of make-up but still looks good when it is all said and done.

All that remains is for you to practice your jokes and start hanging out with some D-List talent and your wish to dress and be like Kathy Griffin will come true.

Rihanna

How to Dress Like Rihanna

Rihanna

Rihanna is known almost as well for her amazing outfits as she is for her spectacular singing voice. For Rihanna, no day is a day to wear something ordinary. To get her look can take some effort, but the look is a trendy, fun expression of fashion and color.

Shoes

Anyone who has seen a picture of Rihanna probably noticed her trend-setting shoes. She is a big fan of very tall shoes and boots, especially ones that have lots of straps and laces. Many of her knee-high boots have straps that run horizontally all the way up to her knee. Other shoes are lace-up style, with laces running up to her knee or higher. On her more casual days, she favors expensive equestrian boots that reach just below the knee. For some occasions, she has worn thigh-high black leather boots.

Dresses

Rihanna’s dresses are ones that always get attention, no matter where she goes. She favors bright metallic fabrics and unusual dress shapes to get that attention. For a dress that screams Rihanna, get a short dress with a metallic bubble skirt or pair a metallic top with a bright and clashing metallic skirt. Rihanna never worries about her colors matching, so choose any colors you like. When choosing a short dress, make sure that it has a full or bubble skirt.

When Rihanna wears long dresses, she chooses dresses that have plenty of details. She wears long dresses with very full skirts, plenty of ruffles and a lot of different shapes. A dress with a large side bow or a dress that is otherwise asymmetrical will be perfect for putting together your Rihanna look. Choose either metallic dresses or bright colors that are as eye-catching as possible. Though she sometimes wears a black dress, she more often opts for bright yellow, daring blue or a lush spring green.

Accessories

For a Rihanna daytime look, always add a pair of large sunglasses to the outfit. She likes tortoise-shell frames, and often wears Louis Vuitton sunglasses. Along with her signature sunglasses, Rihanna wears plenty of jewelry. She often wears many gold bangles on one or both arms. She often wears several gold necklaces as well. To get her look, wear plenty of thin bangles and match them to two or three gold chains. These can be with or without pendants- Rihanna wears them both ways.

When choosing a handbag, think big. Rihanna follows the Hollywood style of carrying a very large handbag. Hers often have short straps and are in either light neutral colors or metallics. If you are putting together a metallic Rihanna outfit, choose a silver or copper purse to wear with it.

T-Shirts

Rihanna does wear t-shirts occasionally. She likes bright green sleeveless shirts as well as colorful t-shirts with printed pictures. One of her famous t-shirts is a black t-shirt printed with Betty Boop on the front. Pair a t-shirt with a tight pair of black jeans and a thin metallic belt and you’ve got Rihanna’s casual look.

Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood’s style has evolved over the years, but she still retains a personal style that is fun and energetic and a fashion inspiration to all her fans. The young star wears both flirty, feminine clothes and more masculine, Western-themed clothes.

Stage Clothes

When she’s onstage, Carrie Underwood well remembers her country roots. She loves to wear Western-themed shirts and jeans when she’s performing. To get her typical stage look, try a pair of boot-cut, dark blue jeans and pair them with a black button-up shirt that has white piping. In an outfit like that, there can be little doubt that Carrie was the inspiration.

Dresses

Much of Carrie’s wardrobe is made up of dresses of all types. She likes to wear dresses that are both plain and elaborate. When she’s on stage, she sometimes wears elaborate, sparkly dresses with plenty of sequins and flowers on them. To get this look, find a dress that has lots of adornments, bows and something that will make the dress sparkle. She likes stage dresses that have ruffles at the bottom and interesting waistline details.

When she’s going to an event, Carrie Underwood often wears a more understated dress. Many of her dresses are white dresses with deep v-necks. She often wears metallic shoes with her white dresses. To capture this look, wear a white dress that drapes well and comes down below the knee. Wear it with a pair of bright, metallic high heels in either silver or gold. She chooses strappy high-heeled shoes with very thin, high heels.

Details

The biggest indicator that an outfit is in Carrie’s style is in its feminine details. You can make any outfit look more like one of hers by adding a few feminine details. Take a look at the hem of any dress or skirt. If a line of ruffles, lace or bows can be added to the hemline that can transform that piece into something that Carrie would wear. If they won’t work at the hemline, consider adding them around the waist or at the seam.

The same detailing can be done with a top to make it into something that evokes the style of Carrie Underwood. She has many tops that are decorated with sparkling broaches and tiny belts with sparkles and feminine colors. If you can add frills to a top, it will definitely make it work better as a Carrie Underwood-style shirt. She likes shirts that have plenty of detail, so the more the better.
Tops and Outerwear

Carrie wears a lot of coats and jackets, all in long styles that have dramatic colors. With darker-colored outfits, she wears black coats that are knee-length or longer. But just like her other wardrobe pieces, she prefers ones that are feminine in style. Add a broach or a sparkly belt to your coat or jacket to make it look a little more girlie to get her style. A well-tailored jacket with a ruffled collar is a perfect way to enhance your Carrie Underwood look.

Angelina Jolie

As one of Hollywood’s top actresses and a face recognized around the globe, Angelina Jolie has subsequently become a fashion legend. She is an avid humanitarian, and uses her star power to advance the causes of those in need throughout the world. As the daughter of two famous actors, she grew up in the spotlight and has had lots of time to develop her fashion sense. Angelina has her own ideas about the image she wants to portray, and isn’t afraid to take risks.

Born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, Angelina is the daughter of Marcheline Bertrand and Jon Voight. As a teenager she took acting lessons, dabbled in theatre and worked as a fashion model. During this time she also became troubled and rebellious. Unlike the Angelina Jolie of today, the teenage Angelina sported a dark punk/Goth look, even dying her hair purple at one point. At her wedding to first husband Jonny Lee Miller, a British actor, in 1996, she wore black rubber pants and a white t-shirt with the groom’s name written on the back in her own blood. Her relationship with actor Billy Bob Thornton was also wild and passionate, with Angelina’s fashion reflecting similar ideas.

Motherhood, marriage and maturity seem to have calmed Angelina’s wild side, and her fashion choices have reflected this. After she adopted her first child, Maddox, in 2002, Angelina withdrew somewhat from the spotlight, and her fashion became similarly subdued and stylish.

Over the course of decades, Angelina has developed a simple yet elegant style that suits her lifestyle and values perfectly. This style could be referred to as “minimalist,” since she nearly always opts for neutral clothing colors, subtle makeup and simple hairstyles. Here are some tips that will help you pinpoint this actress’s unique fashion style.

Stick religiously to a neutral color palette. To copy the wardrobe of Angelina Jolie, you need to shop for only a few colors: black, gray, beige and white. Angelina will occasionally wear a bright color such as canary yellow on the red carpet, but she can rarely be found in bold colors or prints out of the spotlight.

Keep it simple. Angelina’s fashion choices always have a simple, sophisticated look to them. She will pair a white tank top with black skinny jeans, or a fitted t-shirt with a long skirt. Her ensembles have a clean, easy feel to them, and are never overly trendy or fussy. Her accessories are limited to a large bag and minimal jewelry.

Thin is in. Angelina is very comfortable in her own skin, and likes to show off her slim figure by wearing skinny jeans, slim-fit pants and pencil skirts.

Big sunglasses. When out and about, Angelina can often be seen wearing aviator sunglasses or some other large-framed design.

Sophisticated and strapless. Out on the town, Angelina often opts for strapless or halter dresses to show off her cleavage.

Tattoos! The Angelina Jolie look wouldn’t be complete without a few strategically placed tattoos. The actress currently has 13 tattoos, with several related to her children.

Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley wears a lot of interesting styles that always set her apart from the other actresses around her. Her style is an ethereal look that combines a number of different looks into one outfit seamlessly. No matter what she is wearing, her look is always dramatic and full of color and interesting shapes.

Shirts

Keira prefers low cut shirts- sometimes extremely low cut. These shirts may be cut as low as the waist. While this can be a hard look to achieve, there are some women who can wear a shirt that is cut that low. Wear a long necklace with the shirt to complete Keira Knightley’s look.

Because of her petite figure, she goes without a bra and wears a lot of strapless outfits. This look isn’t possible for everyone, but it can be had for some by skipping the bra and wearing a strapless Boho top that fits loosely. She likes wearing peasant tops and other loose, flowing shirts that have plenty of deep color. Some women can get the look by wearing a shirt that has a bra built into it. She doesn’t wear a lot of bright colors, instead wearing deep burgundy, gray and dark blue.

Dresses

Because of her many formal events, Keira  has a full wardrobe of exquisite dresses. When looking for a Keira dress, think feminine. Her dresses are always extremely feminine in style and detail. Choose dresses that have soft, flowing fabrics and that have plenty of ruffles, ribbons and small, intricate details. Her dresses are usually the same deep colors as her shirts. She loves charcoal and deep purples when she’s dressing up.

A dress that is strapless and has an interesting neckline is a classic Keira Knightley look. Find a dress that has plenty of ruffles or folds at the top to bring the eye upward. Then rest of the dress should be long and should flow dramatically. Dresses with lots of pleats and folds will give the dress the types of movement that it needs. Her dresses often reach the floor, and sometimes they are even longer, leaving fabric trailing behind her.

When she wears a short dress, she sometimes wears black leggings under them for a chic, funky look. Keep the leggings short to show off the legs if you’re sporting this look.

Jeans

Like many women in Hollywood, Keira prefers the skinny jean look. To get her look, wear skinny jeans in a dark blue wash and wear them with flat boots that are slouchy around the ankles. This 80s throwback is now a modern look that works well with tapered jeans.

With the jeans, pair a strapless top and a casual necklace. Mix up the jeans and boots look with a pair of metallic flats. Keira wears flats in many different shiny, metallic colors with her jeans. This is a comfortable, casual look for everyday occasions that don’t require formal attire. Pair this look with a small brown leather bag to get Keira’s  casual style.

Sarah Jessica Parker

With an extensive resume of film, theater and television gigs, Sarah Jessica Parker knows a thing or two about how to dress the part. The role of Carrie Bradshaw on the smash television show “Sex and the City” has turned Sarah Jessica Parker (often referred to by her initials, SJP) into a fashion icon, and showcased her own unique and fun sense of style. A  “Sex in the City” movie was released in 2008, and a sequel is scheduled to premier in 2010.

Over the years, the fashion styles featured on “Sex in the City” have sparked numerous trends. SJP’s character, Carrie, is the most fashionable, aided by a very talented costuming team which selected as many as 50 outfits for each episode. When dressing Carrie, costume designers mix flea market finds with designer pieces to create a high-end, thrown-together look. Shoes are also a vital component of Carrie’s wardrobe, particularly Manolo Blahniks. Stilettos are a must-have.

Sarah Jessica Parker is often recognized for her style on the red carpet, which has included a huge range of picks from microminis to floor-length ballgowns. She’s had lots of chances to strut her stuff on the red carpet too, like in 2000 when she hosted the MTV Music Awards and appeared in 15 different costumes. In 2004, SJP was recognized for her fashion presence by the Council of Fashion Designers of America and presented with the “Style Icon” award.

Sarah Jessica recently entered the world of fashion design, launching her own label of affordable clothing called Bitten and sold exclusively at Steve & Barry’s.

Though it’s hard to tell where Carrie Bradshaw’s style stops and SJP’s starts, there are a few important similarities. Use the following guidelines to recreate SJP’s quirky style.

Mix old and new. SJP’s closet includes a funky mix of modern and vintage pieces, worn in surprising ways. Experiment with this look by pairing a vintage skirt with a fashion-forward top, or jeans with strappy stilettos.

The shoes have it. SJP always goes for the heels, and the higher the better. An expensive price tag is never a deterrent.

Laidback casual. In her real life as a busy urban mom, SJP sports the typical mix of casual tops and bootcut jeans, adding vibrant accessories for more spark.

Pile on the accessories. As Carrie, SJP sparked sell-outs of signature accessories including the initial necklace, flower pins, designer handbags, gloves, newsboy hats and stackable jewelry.

Long, curly hair. SJP’s signature look includes long, curly, thick tresses that scream sex kitten. To achieve this look, use curlers to gently shape the hair into waves, and separate them with the fingers. The SJP look also includes long, straight hair and sophisticated updos, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles. The key is to always look young and polished.

Have fun with fashion! SJP is definitely not a slave to a certain fashion style. Be willing to experiment with a wide range of styles, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Wear what feels good to you and expresses your mood.

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet is known for dressing to flatter her curvy figure. Unlike many Hollywood actresses, she emphasizes her curves instead of trying to hide them. No matter what she’s wearing, she always looks feminine and her outfit is always in tune with her body shape.

Evening Wear

Many of the famous looks that Kate Winslet has worn are her glamorous evening gowns that are sophisticated and stylish. The dresses are often floor-length dresses that are in unusual colors. Though she sometimes chooses a back dress to wear to an event, she more often chooses bright yellow, a bright, spring green or light gray.  To get her look when you have an important event to attend, look for a dress that has a lot of elegant draping. It may have a broach or anther element to hold elaborate draping in place.

The dress should also have an interesting neckline to bring the eye upward. She often chooses a dress that has a defined waistline that sits at her natural waist in order to show off her curvy hips and smaller waist. The most important factor in finding a good Kate Winslet dress is to choose one that fits extremely well, or to have one tailored to do so. She always wears dresses that fit her like a glove without being too tight or too loose.

Shoes

Like most of Hollywood, Kate Spade is a big fan of high-end designer shoes. Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin are favorite shoe designers. Louboutin shoes have a bright red sole, making them stand out from other shoe brands, Whatever shoe brand you choose, make sure the shoes are pump-style heels that aren’t too high for you to walk in. It would be hard to have Kate-style confidence if you don’t feel confident walking in the shoes.

Jackets

To dress up a comfortable, casual outfit, Kate Winslet sometimes wears a dressy fitted jacket with a casual top in a pastel color and a pair of simple slacks. This simple outfit can be done in black and white or in pastel shades to get Kate Winslet’s look. Like a dress that is Kate Winslet style, the jacket should be well tailored and have a length that is complimentary to your figure.

Accessories

Kate Winslet doesn’t wear the huge purses that many celebrities are carrying these days. Instead, she favors small clutch purses that won’t interfere with her outfit or call attention to themselves. Choose a small purse that matches the color of your outfit so that your purse doesn’t stand out too much.

Another type of accessory that she favors is elegant necklaces. To find one that matches her look, get a necklace that is small, simple and gold in color. If you want to wear earrings, choose either long, dangly earrings that sparkle or gold hoops. Choose a necklace or a gold bracelet and matching earrings, but don’t wear all of it at the same time. Kate Winslet likes to keep her accessories simple and few.
