Celebrity Style Mashup: The Ugly Truth About Katie and Katherine

0 comments
Aug 4, 2009 by Pam Gaulin

Yes, that's a play on the title of a new movie, because we are not here to bad mouth Katie Holmes or Katherine Heigl. They are both fashionably impeccable and impossible not to admire.

Katie Holmes: She's Got Legs

Katie Homes' much-anticipated performance on "So You Think You Can Dance" was more Catherine Zeta Jones than Judy Garland, yet people are pleased. The outfit didn't hurt, as Katie showed off her dancing legs by wearing a silky black shirt coat that covered her bottom, black nylons, high heels and a masculine hat.

When Katie performs, her outfits are saucy and sultry, unlike the more subdued sexiness of Katherine Heigl, who can play hers down and still be steaming.

Katherine Heigl in The Ugly Truth

Neutral Zone
For her work attire as a morning show producer, Katherine Heigl opts for neutral colors with hints of preppy perkiness. As a smart woman, she knows that a long day in heels can make for unhappy dancing feet, so she slides on professional flats. They could use a little more shine, to match her simple jewelry, and these Rockport Azah flats would pair well with her butter yellow cardigan, gray top and black skirt.

Casual and Boyish
Has anyone ever looked more uncomfortable in casual attire than Katherine Heigl did in the stadium scene? Granted, it wasn't the clothing that was at issue, it was the situation. She stuck with her normal color scheme of tan and dark, neutral new-looking dark blue jeans.

Her tan sweatshirt with a blue stripe had a schoolboy appeal, with a sporty look and silver snaps. It was anything but sophisticated, and looked like she was trying to hard to dress the part, just as she was trying to change her demeanor from her normal self.

Out on the Town
While on the town, Katherine Heigl's character opts for bright colors, tight-fitting dresses and bares all of her back. Katie and Katherine are both sexy and fashionable, in their own appropriate ways.

Celebrity Style: Back to Feminine and Flirty Fashion Trends

Apr 14, 2009 by Tiffany B

It appears that celebrities are getting back to the feminine and flirty fashion trends. One of the big fashion trends among celebrities right now are ruffles. In fact Reese Witherspoon was just seen wearing a dress with ruffles at a celebrity event. They key to wearing ruffles is to keep them from overpowering you. Like Reese's dress, a small ruffle around the neckline, especially in v-necks and lower necklines, add some feminine touches to the outfit without taking over the whole outfit. Ruffles don't have to be strictly on dresses though, they can also be on shirts, like this Robert Rodriguez one and even skirts. Other celebrities that have been wearing ruffles lately include, Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, Taylor Swift, and Keira Knightley.

Another feminine fashion trend that celebrities have been following are bows. It could be a simple bow on a shoe or handbag, or one that makes a slightly larger statement on a shirt or dress. A large bow can add some interest to an outfit, but if you are not comfortable with that, you can always opt for a smaller bow for a more sophisticated look. Such celebrities as Drew Barrymore and Eva Longoria Parker have been spotted wearing dresses with large and dramatic bows. On the other hand, Reese Witherspoon and Katie Holmes chose to sport outfits with small bows to add some detail and a flirty touch to their outfits.

The last feminine and flirt fashion trend that celebrities have been following is the lace trend. Lace is a great way to bring out a flirty and feminine side. You can choose from a full lace outfit to just a touch of lace here and there. Lace dresses have been seen all of the red carpet along with shirts and even skirts. Celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Blake Lively, Emmy Rossum, and Thandie Newton have all worn lace dresses on the red carpet. When following the lace fashion trend make sure to keep the overall piece pretty subtle and not too sexy so that it does not look like lingerie. You want to be flirty and feminine not trashy.

Celebrity Style: Classic Looks

0 comments
Apr 7, 2009 by Tiffany B.

There are a couple of classic celebrity fashion trends that seem to never go out of style. In fact, these fashion trends are classic looks for just about anybody.

The first classic celebrity fashion trend is the black pencil skirt. There is no way that you can go wrong with a black pencil skirt. You can go for the professional look and pair it with a fitted blouse that you tuck in like Jessica Alba did. Or you can go a little bit sexier and pair it with a low-cut top like Lindsay Lohan did. A variation on this classic fashion trend is to choose a pencil skirt that has a really high waist, tuck in the shirt and put a wide belt around the waist. This is the most popular way celebrities are wearing this fashion trend now.

Another classic celebrity fashion trend is tweed trousers. Some people may think of tweed trousers for older woman, but that is not the case. Tweed trousers can be sophisticated but also add some style to a boring outfit. Celebrities such as Katie Holmes and Liv Tyler have been spotted a couple of times wearing tweed trousers, and they are not old. They make the pants look stylish yet put together. They key to wearing tweed trousers is to keep the look young. Make sure the trousers fit well and pair them with a stylish top or jacket. Add some funky jewelry to glam up the outfit.

Lastly, printed blouses are another classic celebrity fashion trend. The print on the blouse can be anything from floral to polka dots, like this one from Just Cavalli. The main thing to remember with this fashion trend is to only wear the print on the blouse and pair it with something simple on the bottom like black dress pants or jeans. Choose a feminine blouse that adds some charm to your outfit. Celebrities such as Heidi Klum, Vanessa Hudgens and Nicole Kidman are big supporters of printed blouses.

Celebrity Style: The Skinny on Jeans

Mar 31, 2009 by Tiffany B

It appears that celebrities are still keeping the skinny jeans around. This is no passing fashion trend. Stars are still rocking out in their skinny jeans. I guess when you are a size 0, you can keep this fashion trend going and not worry about how you look. The newest trend with the skinny jeans are gray colored skinny jeans. So many celebrities have been now spotted wearing gray skinny jeans, usually with a white top. Jessica Alba was just photographed the other day in her gray skinny jeans paired with a white tee and yellow flats. The other color for skinny jeans that looks to be in fashion with celebrities is white. Now, white skinny jeans may be one of the hardest looks to pull off, but celebrities seem to be doing it just fine. The key is to find balance on the top. Get a pair of white skinny jeans, like these from Just Cavalli and pair them with a blousy top. Don't go with the tight top if you are going with the tight jeans. Instead, think about a flowy top paired with high heels. This is an easier look to pull of for the average girl.

Another trend in the jean department are the ripped and shredded jeans. Yes, these are back in style, especially with casually dressed celebrities. Katie Holmes, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, Megan Fox, and Lindsay Lohan have all been spotted wearing ripped and shredded jeans within the past couple of weeks. Now, these ripped jeans can also be skinny jeans. They can be boot cut jeans or even flare legged jeans. The key to this fashion trend is basically that they look, ripped, worn, or shredded on the legs. And yes, if you have looked online for jeans or at any store, they make them this way and you don't have to do it yourself. This is definitely a casual look and is not made for going nicer places such as on dates or nights out on the town. Leave this look for casual shopping trips and runs to Starbucks.

Celebrity Style: Hippie Headbands, Turtleneck Dresses, Polka Dots

0 comments
Jan 20, 2009 by Tiffany B

A hot celebrity trend with accessories right now is the headband. Not just an ordinary headband, but the hippie-inspired headband. And celebrities like Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, and Miley Cyrus aren't wearing the headbands on top of their head. Instead, the celebrity trend is to wear the headband across your forehead, over your hair. Now to many people this may look pretty funny and quite odd, but it seems like celebrities like to wear headbands this way. I don't know how this can be comfortable, as it would drive me crazy having the headband across my forehead. This may be one celebrity fashion trend that the average person may not be able to pull off as people may just think your headband slipped down off your head!

Celebrities are keeping warm this cold winter season with turtleneck dresses. This is one fashion trend that the average person can follow and feel comfortable in. Turtleneck dresses can be long, like the one that Beyonce wore, or on the shorter side, like the dress that Emma Roberts wore. One of the key things to remember if you are going to be pulling off this celebrity fashion trend is to make sure that the turtleneck dress is fitted. You don't want to leave the house in a big, shapeless turtleneck dress and look like your grandma wearing a big muumuu. Also, keep the dress simple, like an all black or red dress to make it look more sophisticated and trendy just like the black turtleneck dress by designer GF Ferre.

Celebrities also seem to be gravitating towards polka dots this season. Katie Holmes, Jennifer Connelly and Christina Ricci all have worn polka dot pieces of clothing in the past couple of weeks. This polka dot fashion trend can be worn big or small. You can keep it simple with a polka dot blouse like Jennifer Connelly's or try to go for more polka dots with a dress like Christina Ricci's. This is another fashion trend that should be played down. If you have a polka dot blouse, pair it with a plain black skirt. If you are wearing a polka dot dress, make sure to keep your accessories, shoes and hair simple.

Celebrity Gossip: Fergie & Duhamel's Wedding, Holmes' Birthday, and Magic is Dangerous

Jan 5, 2009 by Tiffany B

According to Access Hollywood, singer Fergie and actor Josh Duhamel will be getting married next week. The wedding will be the weekend of January 9 and take place in southern California. The couple has been engaged for a little over a year. They were recently seen scanning items at a local Crate and Barrel store, but told others they were registering for "Christmas gifts," not wedding ones. Hopefully, for this couple, the public leaves them alone and allows them to have the wedding that they want.

So, if you are the wife of Tom Cruise, how do you celebrate your 30th birthday? Apparently with a cake from your husband and the whole audience of your Broadway show singing "Happy Birthday" to you. Katie Holmes was given a special birthday cake when the curtain fell for her performance in All My Sons. Although Cruise was not at the performance (he was at his movie premiere in Los Angeles) he set up the whole thing for Katie's birthday. What a great husband, but I still think that this couple of Cruise and Holmes are just a little odd.

Working for magician David Copperfield can be quite dangerous. An employee of Copperfield's got his arm broken after a trick went wrong on the stage. The employee was helping during a fan trick and got his arm caught in the fan. The executive producer of the show calls this a "freak accident," as the trick has been performed by David over 3,000 times. The hurt employee is recovering in the hospital and Copperfield will continue to perform this fan trick in his show.

Celebrity Gossip: Sweetin Broke, Klein and Goodwin Split, And Rich Gets Hitched

0 comments
Dec 24, 2008 by Tiffany B

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the pending divorce of Jodie Sweetin and her husband Cody Herpin. It appears that there is some new information that has been made public about their split. According to court papers, Sweetin and her husband are dead broke. Their house is in foreclosure, their water has been turned off in the past, and they have several other past-due bills. Sweetin is claiming that Herpin quit work when they got married and "kept finding one excuse after another for his failure to even attempt to find employment." They survived solely off residuals from Full House. There are also claims that Herpin threatened to take away their daughter from Sweetin if she left. Herpin denies these allegations and says that he was a stay-at-home dad and didn't know this was a problem. He didn't realize that when their water got turned off, that maybe he should get off his butt and get a job? This whole relationship seems like a mess, and the one person that you feel sorry for is their daughter.

Another split in Hollywood involves actor Chris Klein and his girlfriend of two years Ginnifer Goodwin. According to a friend of the actress, the split was "mutual and amicable." If you remember, Klein was dating Katie Holmes for quite awhile, and then just a short time after they broke up she hooked up with Tom Cruise. Now, Katie is married to Tom and has a daughter and seems to be happy. Maybe this breakup with Klein will have the same effect for Goodwin. She can meet her future husband now!

For a happy ending to this post, John Rich from the country group, Big and Rich married his longtime girlfriend, Joan Bush this past week. The couple had a small wedding in Nashville and kept it low-key -- just like their relationship. Wishing this couple all the best of luck and hoping they don't end like Jody Sweetin and her husband.

Celebrity Gossip: The Beckham and Cruise Holiday, Eating Disorders, Jen and Jon

Dec 12, 2008 by Tiffany B

How did the Cruise family celebrate Thanksgiving this year? It appears that Tom, Katie, Suri, Isabella and Connor spent Thanksgiving with their friends the Beckhams. The two families celebrated Thanksgiving Day together in New York City. The families attended the Big Apple Circus and also took a horse and carriage ride through Central Park. The Cruises and the Beckhams have been friends for awhile now, but can you imagine walking through New York and just seeing these two families hanging out together? I bet all the New York tourists loved that.

There have been tons of rumors circulating that the actresses on 90210 have eating disorders. When comparing pictures of actress Shenae Grimes before and after she went on the show, it does appear that she has lost some weight. In my opinion, she is too skinny. But she has gone on the defense and came out to say that she does not have an eating disorder. She told People Magazine that she is not too skinny and she doesn't have an eating disorder but does have a friend who has dealt with one for several years. Grimes claims she has been thin all her life and looks perfectly healthy in person. Well, if the camera adds 10 pounds, how can she look better in person? Wouldn't she look even skinnier?

Things must be getting rather serious between Jennifer Aniston and Jon Mayer. Jennifer has introduced Mayer to her dad, actor John Aniston. You always know that this is a pretty big step when you start introducing your boyfriend to your parents and family. The couple had recently split a couple months back and just rekindled their romance last month. We shall have to wait and see if these two make it or not.

Celebrity Fashion: Heels with Elastic Straps, Scarves and Swing Coats

0 comments
Nov 25, 2008 by Tiffany B

The hottest celebrity trend in footwear right now is heels with elastic straps. So instead of painful straps going across your foot or ankle in your stiletto heels, the trend is to wear shoes that have elastic straps. The elastic straps are designed to make the shoe more comfortable and not dig into your foot. Such celebrities as Blake Lively and Kate Bosworth have been seen wearing these shoes on the red carpet. This is one celebrity trend that makes sense. Why not wear shoes that are more comfortable?

As the temperatures start to dip, celebrities are breaking out more and more scarves. Again, you have to hand it to celebrities for this fashion trend. Adding a scarf to your outfit will not only keep you warmer in the cold weather but it will accessorize your outfit quite nicely. So, which celebrities are fans of scarves this season? You have Katie Holmes, Nicole Richie, Lauren Conrad, Blake Lively, Jennifer Aniston and Leighton Meister who all like to sport scarves. Missoni makes tons of different scarves that the celebrities love. Don't just stick to plain colored scarves this season, but mix it up with stripes, polka dots and other prints to add some drama to your outfit.

What else can you wear with your scarf this fall and winter? Well, you can stick to the celebrity trends and try a retro swing coat for winter. Many celebrities are going back to the retro look, and the swing coat is the perfect way to do this. A swing coat will button on the top, and the bottom half of the coat is left open to basically "swing." This type of coat can be worn dressed up or with your basic jeans. Celebrities such as Katie Holmes, Blake Lively and Eva Mendes have all been spotted wearing this type of coat this season. So, go ahead and take out your scarf and your swing coat and work it like a celebrity.

Celebrity Style: Baby Trends and Boyfriend Jeans

Celebrities aren't the only people who set the fashion trends in Hollywood. Celebrity kids also make fashion trends just as much as their parents. You will never see a celebrity kid wearing some old shirt from Wal-Mart or the local discount department store. No, celebrity kids wear name brand designer clothing that cost more than all the clothing I have put together. One of the trendiest kids in Hollywood is Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's daughter Suri. Even at two years old she is making a fashion statement. Suri Cruise has been photographed wearing many different outfits and different designers. One of her favorite designers is Juicy Couture. She was seen wearing a black sundress by Juicy Couture strolling around New York City with her mom.

Another celebrity kid that makes fashion trends in Hollywood is Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's son, Kingston. Kingston can be seen wearing tons of different rocker clothes from his mom's line called L.A.M.B. From his cargo pants to his rocker tees, he sets the trends for little boys in Hollywood. Other celebrity kids that are also high on the fashion trends are Heidi Klum's three children, Tori Spelling's son Liam, and all of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children.

So, what is going on with the actual celebrities in Hollywood? Well it seems like baggy, boyfriend cut jeans are back in style. Both Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes have been seen wearing their husband's jeans. Now, no one is going out and telling you to wear your husband's jeans out of the house, but it seems like the boyfriend cut jeans are an alternative to the skinny jeans. Other celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz have also sported baggier jeans in the past couple weeks. When trying to achieve this celebrity look, make sure that the jeans are not too baggy and that you don't wear them out for a nice evening or date. Boyfriend jeans are for casual strolls around town. Pair them with a gray t-shirt like Reese Witherspoon did and you have a cute and casual day look.

Shoes of the Stars!

Aug 2, 2008 by Tiffany B

Celebrities don't always make wise decisions in the shoe department. I mean, have you seen some of the shoes they wear? Stiletto heels that are 6 inches high or platform shoes that look like you may fall over in them. But sometimes they do get it right and start a fashion trend that is actually comfortable. Take for instance boots and ballet flats.

Before you know it, Fall will be here and one staple that you should have in your wardrobe, if you want to look like a celebrity, is a pair of boots. So many celebrities have been seen wearing boots even in the summer. Now, I am not saying to go out in the scorching hot summer and pair shorts with boots like Hilary Duff did, but why not start your shopping early for fall and stay on trend with celebrities? There are tons of different styles of boots, from ankle boots to knee-high ones. There are plain boots, moccasin boots and even cowboy boots. Celebrities seem to love Marc Jacobs and his shoes. Well, Marc Jacobs makes an amazing pair of boots, and the celebrities would approve of them, as Jessica Simpson and Mischa Barton all have been seen wearing boots by Marc Jacobs.

Another big trend with shoes among celebrities is still the classic ballet flats. Ballet flats can be worn in spring, summer and even into the fall. You can even wear dark colored ballet flats into winter as long as you are not walking through five feet of snow. They are basically a shoe for all seasons. Such celebrities such as Blake Lively, Jessica Biel, Katie Holmes, Naomi Watts, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan all wear ballet flats around town. For once celebrities actually got it right, since ballet flats are such a comfortable shoe. You can wear them in a variety of colors and designs. Some have adornments on them and others are just plain. One of the most popular flats is by Elie Tahari. They come in so many different colors and styles that you are sure to find one that suits your outfit and style.

Famous New Babies Equal Big Bucks for the Stars!

0 comments
Jul 30, 2008 by Becky

Everyone knows that having a baby in Hollywood means big bucks for the parents. Stars like Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Jamie Lynn Spears and Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes have all made million dollar deals with magazines for exclusive rights to the first baby pics. But one Hollywood couple that won't be selling their baby pics is Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. They recently turned down a million dollar offer for the first pics of their baby girl, Sunday Rose. The couple says that they haven't decided whether to release a photo of Sunday yet or not, but when they do it will be for free and not for profit.

Of course, the bidding war for the first baby pics of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline is just warming up now that the Jolie-Pitt twins are here. It's down to OK! and People Magazine and it seems that neither publication wants to back down. Now whoever wins the bidding war is not only guaranteed a hot-selling cover, but is also entitled to major bragging rights. Rumor is that bidding has reached $15 million dollars and is still going up.

Adding fuel to Jennifer Lopez's rep as a diva is the latest rumor that she only dresses her twins in designer outfits once before tossing the clothes aside. Now, baby designer duds may be small, but they don't come cheap. And why would a baby not want to be seen in the same onesie twice, know what I mean?

And guess who has an open relationship in Hollywood? Well, I'm sure there are plenty of Hollywood couples with open relationships, but I'm referring to power couple, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith. According to Will Smith the secret to their happy marriage is complete honesty... about who they want to sleep with. Yes, it seems that both Will and Jada believe that it is completely natural to be attracted to other people and to act on those desires, so as long as they're both honest about it, they don't see anything wrong with it. Although rumors of Will and Jada living a swinger lifestyle have come up before, this is the first time that either of them has addressed the rumors head-on.

Celebrity Trends-Chop Off That Hair: Extensions Are Always An Option

0 comments
Jul 1, 2008 by Tiffany B

Quite a few celebrities are cutting off their locks and opting for a new shorter hairstyle. With the hot months of summer ahead, cutting your hair now is not a bad idea. There are plenty of different short styles so you can pick the one that would look the best on you. There are angled bobs, layered bobs and pixie cuts just for example. If you do choose to cut your hair like a celebrity, remember that short hair needs to be trimmed more often to retain its style and cut.

Gwyneth Paltrow is probably the best example of a celebrity cutting their hair into a shorter style. Gwyneth cut off approximately 10 inches of her hair, so now it lands right above her shoulders. She went from really long straight hair to a short style with long layers. She has been seen wearing her hair wavy and straight.

Anne Hathaway is another celebrity who just cut off your locks. She went from long hair, down several inches past her shoulders, to a cut above her shoulders. She also has been seen wearing her new shorter do both curly and straight. Her hair is naturally curly, so layers were cut into her hair to make it more manageable. If you have naturally curly hair and want a short hair cut, I would recommend taking a peak at Anne's hair before heading to the salon.

Several other celebrities are rocking the short hairdos also. Katie Holmes cut her hair into a short bob a while back and recently cut it even shorter. I think that she looks more grown up with her new style and definitely does not look like Joey Potter from Dawson's Creek anymore.

Michelle Williams also has been sporting a short pixie cut for a while too. Her short blonde locks are an extreme for most people, but it does suit her well. Other stars who are sporting the short cuts include Tori Spelling, Sophia Bush, Kerry Washington, Rihanna and Christina Ricci.

So I say, go ahead and take the plunge. Follow the trend and cut your hair. There are always extensions. Isn't that what stars do anyway?
