celebstyle

I'm sure most of us out there are largely influenced by celebrities i.e. the way they dressed, the it bags or Haute Couture outfits that they wear and carry (just a disclaimer: i'm not TOTALLY influenced by these public figures/entertainers - I dress the way I like and I know what trends work best for my body shape). But before I start yakking whats with this whole entire fixation with celebrity culture (I'm a cultural studies student), here are some celebrities whom I earnestly think work the whole fashion walk: 

 I don't really dig that Holmes-Cruise union (sorry, I think Brad Pitt is way hotter and better than Tom Cruise) and I'm sure most people can't comprehend what Katie Holmes sees in Tom Cruise (though I gotta admit that Suri Cruise is a pretty adorable little girl), but I gotta say that I like Katie Holmes' fashion's choices. She's the one who brought back that entire boyfriend jeans trend and she does rocked that high-waisted and high bun look really well. And it probably doesn't help that her height and slim figure helps her to pull off most outfits even she's off-duty and on Mom mode.

I don't watch The OC or any of Rachel Bilson's work, but I gotta say that this pint-sized, petite actress does have a pretty good sense of style. She does commit certain fashion boo boos, but apart from that, her style boils around casual chic yet presentable. (Note: I specially chose this pic of Bilson cos i dig that whole boyfriend jeans, blazer and clogs look. I totally love the entire outfit. If only I have some moolah for the Sam Edelman and Topshop clogs I'm currently eyeing.)

 I know most people who watched 'The Hills' would probably think of Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag at first thought, but in my opinion, it's probably Whitney Port's casual chic style that has won over fans like me. I'm a huge fan of most of her outfits (read: floral dresses, blazers, oxfords) and she certainly knows her stuff. I mean, Ms Port now has her own reality spin-off (The City), interned at Teen Vogue (omg!!!) and Diane Von Furstenburg and is now a designer, having recently debuted her own fashion line. 

My all-time favorite celebrity. 

I like Nicole Richie simply because she's that wild, crazy party animal who is now reformed and has changed for the better. There are crazy rumors about her December wedding to Good Charlotte's Joel Madden, but Richie won fans and even new converts not only through the fact that she is now an accomplished designer (her fashion lines include Winter Kate and House of Harlow) and devoted mother to her children, she has also shed her wild child moments by simply replacing barely-out-there, loud and trashy outfits with boho chic styled fashion choices- think flowing maxi dresses, tie-dyed tees, shorts and headpieces. Oh, and I also love the way how she dons tights over shorts during winter with Louboutin boots. 

Other favorite celebrities whom I love to bits ends (cos of their fashion choices) include Sienna Miller, the Olsen twins (though i gotta 'fess they are forever into that dark, edgy and grungy trend), Keira Knightley, Vanessa Hudgens (don't like her personally, but I have to admit her fashion style is pretty similar to mine), Jessica Biel and yes, Ashlee Simpson.
