Celebrity Style Mashup: Cary Grant and Robert Downey Jr.

A strong man can sweep you off your feet, and onto the movie screen. Both Cary Grant and Robert Downey, Jr. have strong male undercurrents that invite movie goers to share some on-screen intimacy. These actors have both made an impact in the fashion and style choices of their fellow iron men. Cary Grant set the bar, and Robert Downey, Jr. continues to re-set his own bar, and does so again in the 2009 Sherlock Holmes.

Cary Grant

Suit-wearing men can strive to look half as good as Cary Grant on a bad day while wearing a suit. According to Cary Grant, his father used to say, ''Let them see you and not the suit. That should be secondary." He certainly took that to heart because in every scene in every one of his movies, he looks dapper. Being a trained acrobat helped him develop a physique that lent itself to wearing well-tailored clothing.

A casual look for Grant still looked dashing, complete with pleated pants, unbuttoned white dress shirt and a plain sweater. One key to Grant's fashion success was that he did not wear a lot of patterns, and often wore plain or understated ties. Even a pair of pajamas looked strikingly fashionable on the endlessly charming Cary Grant.

Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey, Jr., who has been down and back, offers hope that any man can pick himself up again, dust himself off, like Charlie Chaplin, and excel as an immersive actor. Robert Downey Jr. can pull off wearing a monochromatic suit, similar to Cary Grant.

From his 1980s white suits and style trends set in the movie Less Than Zero to his role as Sherlock Holmes, Robert Downey, Jr. appears comfortable no matter what his role. He appears equally comfortable wearing a suit made of iron or a pair of wool trousers to play Sherlock Holmes.

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.

Celebrity Fashion: Fall Dress Code

As we head into the fall season, it appears that shirt dresses will still be popular with celebrities. Shirt dresses are a great way to be casual but still trendy. Basically, a shirt dress looks like a long structured shirt. Most of the time it is a button-up dress and sometimes has a tie or belt around the waist. Blake Lively was seen wearing a blue shirt dress as she headed to the David Letterman show. Other celebrities such as Kelly Ripa and Katie Holmes have also sported shirt dresses. To go for a dressier look, pair a shirt dress with some high heels by Alexander McQueen. And to go for a more casual day look, pair the shirt dress with some cute flats by Marc Jacobs.

Well, it seems that not all celebrities like to wear skin tight dresses and skirts, which is good to know. Full skirt dresses have been seen all over in Hollywood. America Ferrera was just seen wearing a full skirt dress to an awards night. The full skirt dress can help camouflage a tummy or love handles, not that celebrities know what those are! Other celebrities that have been seen all dressed up in full skirts are Scarlett Johansson, Debra Messing, Minka Kelly and Paris Hilton. Full skirt dresses make a great alternative to having a tight dress if you are uncomfortable with your body. This is a definite celebrity fashion trend that should be followed.

Trench coats are timeless and celebrities are seen wearing them all the time. Trench coats are a great option for fall. As the weather gets colder, don't ruin an outfit with a bad coat, but invest in a good trench coat. Of course, someone like Anne Hathaway, who almost always dresses in classic pieces, has been seen wearing trench coats quite often. Other celebrities such as Mandy Moore get more creative with their trench coats and opt for bolder colors such as yellow. Black, tan and white trench coats are all classic pieces and can be worn with just about anything. Celebrities just love the black trench by Jean Paul Gaultier, because it is a classic piece that will never go out of style.
