Classic Style: Joan Crawford and Elizabeth Taylor

The look of the classic Hollywood starlet is a timeless thing.  There has never been an era of fashion since its inception in the early part of the 20^th century that didn’t draw inspiration from the style. Today I’ll detail two celebrities, Joan Crawford and Elizabeth Taylor, and what you can do to add in some elements of their fashion and style to your modern outfits.

Jennifer Aniston is our Style Star

I was only in elementary and junior high school when the ‘Rachel’ hair cut was all the rage in the 90’s. However, young I was I knew that I loved Jennifer Aniston. There is something about her that was timeless, and she still is. From her laid back attitude, her sense of humor about her private life (seriously, who cares that she is single?), to her always fashionable sense of style, Jen is every girl’s girl. While it is obvious that she loves fashion, she is never over the top, and is best known for her innate sense of casual chic style. Check out some of her lovely looks from the more recent past.

Hayden Panettiere is our Style Star

Hayden Panettiere best known for her role as Claire Bennet on Heroes, a hugely popular show that aired from 2006-2010, but Hayden Panettiere has been in the business since she was a small tot. Her mother started her out in commercials at a young age and her talent was quickly recognized. Her fashion sense, however, has taken a little longer to be noticed. Not because she dressed poorly at one point, but because in a sea of primped, preened, and over-the-top starlets, her subtle feminine and often sportier style has been overlooked.

Hayden Panettiere is young, adorable, vivacious, and athletic. Her gymnast-like body is the envy of many young girls striving for a healthy and fit physique. She prefers casual over dressy and is often seen wearing short-shorts, her muscular legs amply exposed. She loves cozy t-shirts and tanks and loves waltzing around in her two-piece at the beach but doesn’t shy away from playing dress-up. She cleans up nicely and is often seen in tight fitting short dresses, the non-trashy variety, of course. Read more

Pippa Middleton is our Style Star

Kate Middleton has been the talk of the world since the moment she started dating Prince William. She walked down the runway at a university fashion show in that now famous dress by Charlotte Todd and the rest was history. She’s now living every woman’s dream. Their wedding in April was one of the most talked about events of the century; Kate looked gorgeous, William looked handsome…and Pippa stole the show?

Wearing a stunning, white cowl-neck bridesmaid dress (that really could have been a wedding dress in-it-of-itself), Pippa showed off her slender figure and stole the hearts of people across the world, especially the hearts of young eligible bachelors. Dubbed “Her Royal Hotness,” that now legendary dress has made us appreciate Kate’s lovely sister in a whole new light; her fashion sense now scrutinized and emulated by every style conscious woman everywhere.

Amanda Seyfried is our Style Star

The world first caught a glimpse at the adorable, Amanda Seyfried, in the movie Mean Girls alongside Lindsay Lohan and super talent, Rachel McAdams. She played Karen Smith, a gorgeous teen in a group called the Plastics. She was the designated airhead, often at a loss for words, always two-steps behind, and lacked any meaningful direction of her own.

In reality, Seyfried is anything but stupid. She’s managed quite a career for herself over the last five years. With movies such as Chloe, Mama Mia, Letters to Juliet, Dear John, and Red Riding Hood under her belt it’s clear she’s moving towards a long and prosperous acting career. Along with that – as we’ve seen from many up-and-coming A-listers – her sense of style has shone through, demonstrating to the world that she’s not only gifted, but fashionable. Read more

Olivia Thirlby is our Style Star

Olivia Thirlby’s most memorable role to date has probably been that of Ellen Page’s best friend in, ‘Juno’, which is quite an impressive credit. With a ton of independent movies under her belt today, Thirlby can definitely be called an indie queen, next to the likes of Chloe Sevigny and Zooey Deschanel. Thirlby’s likeness to those two doesn’t stop there, because her personal style could even rival their own. True to her indie roots, Olivia is eclectic yet brings a simple cuteness to her ensembles.

Take her adorable tea length lace frock shown here. The stripes certainly make the garment different, but adorable and demure nonetheless. Olivia’s lack of accessories and natural hair only compliment the look, making it look a bit effortless even. Her black peep toe heels give the look a little retro vibe and only add to the outfit’s appeal. Read more

Rihanna is our Style Star

Well, what to really say about Rhianna? She is one of the biggest superstars in music today, collaborating with everyone from Fallout Boy to Eminem, and a number one artist in her own right. Conversely, she is also famous for her personal life, as many celebrities are, but we are not here to talk about her controversies, or domestic disputes, but rather, her amazing sense of fashion. Nothing that Rhianna does, fashion wise, is ever safe or boring. She loves fashion, does it big, and obviously has a ton of fun with it; which is completely how every girl should be when it comes to her wardrobe!

An example of her said ‘big’ style would be this interesting combination of silver metallic bubble sleeved shirt and pink mini skirt. The top, of course, is the statement piece in this ensemble, and almost takes away from the oversize silver necklace she is also wearing, but it works! Her elastic banded pink skirt is the perfect partner piece for this top, because it is not as loud. She could have gone with black or white on the bottom, but hey, Rhianna rarely plays it safe, the color combination is what makes the outfit so interesting. Her signature pompadour makes the outfit look even more avant garde! Read more

Taylor Swift is our Style Star

These days it seems that Taylor Swift is getting more attention for the guys she dates and her cute signature style. Well, when you date Jake Gyllenhall, that is just to be expected; and as for Taylor’s style, that definitely merits attention all on its own. You would think with Taylor being arguably the biggest country superstar around right now, that she would adhere to the regime of country style, jeans, boots, plaid button down? No, for one she does not live in Texas, and there is no doubt about it, the girl can dress! Taylor’s style is slightly eclectic, with her surprising fashion choices once in awhile, but as a whole, the twenty year old prefers a more classic more American style; something we haven’t seen too much of lately. Yes, Ms. Swift’s style is thoroughly refreshing; here are some examples! Read more
