Celebrity Style Mashup: The Sweet Fashion Lives of Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman

Co-stars Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman may share vamp fashion secrets in the musical remake of Fellini's 8 1/2, but their personal styles set up more of a dichotomy. Both actresses star in the fashionista movie of the year, Nine, a movie that will send you running for your chic black dresses.

The Fellini Appeal
In Nine the stars wear their smoky and smudged eyeliner and shadow glamorously, and complete their sexy looks with glittery black designer dresses, wide fishnet stockings, big 1960s style hair, and over-the-knee boots.

Bohemian Kate Hudson
While Kate Hudson looks stunning in a yellow Dior gown or a metallic brown Stella McCartney dress. Kate Hudson manages to add glamour to simple Bohemian looks. She is one of the few actresses who could have successfully worn an orange, yellow and black print Valentino gown.

Kate elevates simple Bohemian to Boho chic by accessorizing a pair of torn boyfriend jeans with textured suede. She adds hats, bold jewelry, a pair of comfy boots and designer handbags to her laid-back Bohemian style. A stack of silver bangles, colorful sunglasses and styled hair complete her chic Bohemian style.

Glamazon Nicole Kidman
Statuesque Nicole Kidman dresses for the red carpet even when there isn't one. She is not an actress you'll find unkempt or even going Bohemian casual. Nicole Kidman is a vision of seriousness, in contrast to the playful fashion of Kate Hudson.

The walking mermaid's dresses look painted onto her lean figure. Despite her natural height, Nicole Kidman always as the perfect pair of heels to pair with her designer gowns.

In the movie Nine their roles are slightly reversed, with Nicole Kidman playing the actress/muse and Kate Hudson takes on the more serious role of fashion journalist, Nicole Kidman remains the glamour queen and Kate Hudson's wardrobe exhibits her signature playfulness.

Celebrity Style Mashup: Kim Kardashisan and Carrie Underwood

Kim Kardashian and Carrie Underwood may seem like night and day at first glance. Kim Kardashian exemplifies busy city style while Carrie Underwood still has a bit of charming country in her step. Both women are chameleons with color, and have the ability to make any hue work.

Kim Kardashian: Splashes of Blue
There probably isn't a color that would not look stunning on city slicker Kim Kardashian. She can wear all pink, black and white, purple, gray, red, yellow and sometimes green. She frequently wears splashes of blue, from bright blue tops to blue skirts. She knows how to pair a longer top with leggings or skinny jeans, top it with a jacket, and the right big bag and high heels.

Even in a pair of blue jeans, Kim Kardashian knows that fully-done big hair and impeccable make up area part of her signature style.

Kim's Silhouettes
Kim's fashion silhouette ranges from wearing a longer top, drawing attention down from her womanly hips and bottom to her legs. The other common silhouette she adores is one which cinches her waist and emphasizes her hourglass figure.

Carrie Underwood: Romance in the Country
For a softer look, turn the other cheek to Carrie Underwood. No matter how big Carrie Underwood's star grows, she still beams that innocent and sweet smile, and will always be a country girl at heart. She looks like she is floating in romantic hues and textures.

A pair of brown slip-on heels will carry Underwood through her days of pink and champagne hues, or a day spent in her jeans. Similar to Kardashian, Underwood can pull off nearly any color, from deep purples and bright blues to orange, pink and black. She also works her hair as a fashion accessory, pulling off a big bangs look, a side swept low ponytail, or big sexy hair, all with aplomb.

Celebrity Style Mashup: Gwen Stefani and Gwyneth Paltrow

Sporty and fashion-forward Gwen Stefani and classic fashion experimenter Gwyneth Paltrow offer women two distinctive fashion models to emulate. Both Gwen and Gwyneth are fashion risk-takers, and their personal choices pay off for them, on the red carpet, or while enjoying casual family time.

Breaking the Rules
Gwen and Gwyneth can break the rules and wear bone white shoes anytime of the year. Both of these fashion icons could wear the same shoes and build an outfit around them that would be uniquely their own. Gwen Stefani could choose her favorite black and white combination, or a patriotic red, white and blue outfit. She's also known to go glam, and these shoes would add the right amount of Hollywood femininity to her harder-edged outfits.

Travel in Style
You know Gwen Stefani isn't trying to shove all her make up and accessories in some boring purse or overnight bag, so why should you? You don't have to be a rock star to appreciate a cute rocking Hurley Top Forty Make Up/Train Case to store your overnight accessories, ideal for a sleepover or weekend getaway.

Gwyneth Rocks the Dress
Nobody rocks dresses with more elegance and class than Gwyneth Paltrow. Even when she pushes the fashion envelope, in a white dress with black lacy trim resembling lingerie, or opts for an electric blue and silver number, she always looks completely confident and happening.

Staples for Gwen and Gwyneth
Both women are equally comfortable-looking and chic in leather coats or cozy cardigans. These fashionable moms layer their cardigans with dresses or casual wear when taking their little ones out and about. They both also know how to jazz up an outfit with one bright color piece, from a bag to a pair of boots.

Rock your own wardrobe staples, like Gwen and Gwyneth.

Celebrity Style Mashup: Johnny Depp and Shia LeBeouf - Channeling the Public Transformers

Jul 7, 2009 by Pam Gaulin

Two of the summer's hottest commodities are at a big screen near you, in blazing style. Johnny Depp sheds his pirate gear for Retro suits and Shia LeBeouf takes on the transformers, in classic jeans and leather coat. Both actors exude a sense of cool and modern appeal, yet both fit snugly with hip and retro styles of the men who came before them.

The Slim Suit
After wearing beads in his hair and his goatee, Johnny Depp may be pleased to shed his pirate skin for a fresh-faced and kempt look, with retro suits of the 1930s. For the look, Depp dons the full suit ensemble complete with gloves, vest, heavy trench coat and not surprisingly, a hat.

Fedoras are a must in the Johnny Depp-inspired wardrobe. Depp also wears light-colored shoes to match off-white suit pants and shirt in the film. A monochromatic look, from head to feet can look suave on the right guy.

Shia, Frank and Dick
Another version of the slim suit which can be seen on Shia LeBeouf is the casual combination of white dress shirt, skinny tie, slender jeans and a button-up sweater. The look hearkens back to both Frank Sinatra and Dick Van Dyke, two charismatic men of talent. Adding his own twist to the look, Shia LeBeouf would be more likely to wear a pair of black or gray Vans Classic Slip-On Core Classics than a casual or dress shoe with this ensemble.

Black Leather
No matter how you mash up a look inspired by Johhny Depp and Shia LeBeouf, some items will remain the same. A black leather coat with a bad boy Marlon Brando look is a must. A pair of relaxed blue jeans, in good shape, paired with a graphic T-shirt should also be in this wardrobe. Dress it up with a pair of black biker boots or dress shoes. Or, pull a Shia and dress your ties and shirts down by donning a pair of comfortable slip-on sneakers.

Even this cold weather that we are having this winter celebrities are still rocking the miniskirts. Now, miniskirts always seem to be in style and then the next minute out of style. This has been the case for over 20 years now. Celebrities like Lilly Allen, Kate Hudson and Chloe Sevigny seem to be bringing the mini skirt back into fashion. Whether it's an actual miniskirt or a mini-dress, the short style is being seen more and more again on the Hollywood scene. If you want to sport this celebrity fashion trend but you live in a colder climate, try a mini-dress from Jean Paul Gaultier that has long sleeves but leaves little to the legs.

Other celebrities such as Mary Kate Olsen, Gwyneth Paltrow and Selma Blair are going for a much darker look this winter. They are wearing the all black ensembles with the touches of the Gothic accessories. Yes, we all know that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen seem to have this trend down pat, but now it seems like they are setting the fashion trend with the black leggings, oversized coats and pointy black shoes. Mixing a sheer black, over-sized top with some black leggings and black heels will set you in perfect with celebrity fashion trend.

Another celebrity fashion trend that you can spot on the red carpets now is the cut-out dress. These dresses give little hints of the body here and there rather than showing off the whole package. Celebrities such as Rihanna, Jenny McCarthy, Christina Ricci and Ashley Olsen have all dazzled in cut-out dresses. This may not be a fashion trend for everyone, though, since cut-out dresses look best on woman who have the body to show off. If you still want to try this celebrity fashion trend, try to find a cut-out dress that flatters your best assets and go from there.
