Angelina Jolie is one of the most famous actresses working today. Actually, scratch that, she is one of the most famous people alive today. As well as her acting accolades, she has also been called the world’s most beautiful woman, a title which has only added to her fame. This is at least partially due to the excellent fashion and style choices that she makes when she appears in public. Her marriage to Brad Pitt, a man regularly featured on ‘sexiest men’ lists and articles, has also contributed to her massive public image and presence. Jolie and Pitt have recently appeared together at the Producers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills. Angelina dressed in a full-length black gown with floral patterns and a thigh-high slit. She also wore some great rose gold jewellery.

Colin Farrell
Colin Farrell is one of those people that just really annoy you with how good they look, and with how apparently little effort he needs to look so good. He also has that Irish charm, and the women love him. I may not be able to help you with the charm, but there are a few things that you can do try to emulate at least some of the things that make him into such a great-looking and desirable man. Firstly, Colin usually goes for that sexy, slightly unshaven look that is pretty popular nowadays. It gives him the sense of just a hint of danger, something that women love. Colin also loves to wear hats – caps, fedoras, you name it. He also loves to wear a lot of jewellery; necklaces, bracelets, earrings. This adds somewhat to his ‘bad boy’ image, along with his sexy stubble.
Golden Globes ’12
So last night was the Golden Globes in Los Angeles – an event always packed to the brim with some of the biggest celebrities with the most star power in the world. And fashion is always a big deal at these events; the reporters always line the red carpet to see which fashion designers are being worn by the various celebrities there – no jeans here! There is so much potential for the spotlight at events like this that the celebrities always try to wear their best and most carefully-designed outfits in order to keep their fashion images strong and in the public eye. A big trend at this years Golden Globe awards was nude-hued gowns, many of which were worn by various celebrities in attendance. These gowns, by big-name fashion designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, were worn by stars such as Heidi Klum and Jessica Biel. I expect that we will be seeing far more of these nude-hued clothes as the year progresses, because they look great.
A Man’s Bag
A handbag for a woman is really extremely useful. You have somewhere that can be available whenever you go out where you can store things so that you can keep your hand free. A man does not have this option – in fact, if he was to go out carrying a handbag, he would be quite likely to receive some very strange looks. Either that, or people would assume that he was carrying it for his girlfriend. This of course, means that men generally don’t have anywhere except for their pockets to store things such as small change, wallets, keys and so on. However, some celebrity men have bucked this trend, and started to carry bags with them. And since celebrities tend to be the trend setters in our society, maybe this means that bags for men will start to become far more popular. I can certainly see their usefulness. Amongst the big name celebs that have been seen wearing bags are Robert Downey Jr. and Hugh Jackman.
Air Jordan
One of the most popular items of casual footwear ever has to be the Nike product Air Jordan. Of course, these shoes were originally designed for, and endorsed by NBA basketball superstar Michael Jordan, not only one of the most successful basketball players of all time, but also one of the most successful sportsmen of all time. And I guess this is why the shoes have been so popular, and sell so well whenever they are released; they are just perfect, not only for basketball, but also for most other sports, especially paired with some good sports men’s socks. Indeed, just this past week, a re-release of one of the versions of the classic shoe from 1988 sold out in less than two hours! That’s just shows what an enduring, classic and popular design the shoe really is. After all, what is good enough for Michael Jordan is surely good enough for the rest of us!
Watches and Power
I find that very few fashion items immediately suggest wealth, success and power as much a a really nice-looking, shiny automatic watch. And you can see this in the advertisements created by watch manufacturers. For example, the watch company TAG Heuer has had a long list of celebrity models and ambassadors for their products, including such massive names as Brad Pitt, Tiger Woods, Maria Sharapova, Kimi Raikkonen, Lewis Hamilton and Uma Thurman. Now that’s an impressive list – all big names, and all with a great deal of influence in their respective fields. The images in the adverts are also clearly designed to demonstrate qualities that TAG Heuer want to show of themselves and their products – power, sophistication, wealth. And the funny thing is that I looked at adverts for a number of different watch companies, and they all looked pretty much the same, just with different logos and text. I guess the method works!
Surie Cruise
She is probably the most photographed child of a celebrity in the whole world: Surie Cruise (5) has seen more paparazzi and popping of flashbulbs as any other famous person a whole life would. The little girl with the big sense for fashion is obviously used to be followed at every turn like her parents Katie Holmes (32) and Tom Cruise (49). As well as used to wearing socks without shoes. Because no matter where little Surie is seen, the 5-year old always wears sandals or ballerinas or other girly shoes without warm socks, for example cashmere socks, even though her mum walks around well wrapped up in a coat and sneakers. Does Surie just not like it when it comes to fashion to have warm feet (her mum says she can be really stubborn) or is she really that hardened that she thinks socks are just unnecessary? Actually her parents should have an eye on her and make sure she stays healthy, but when it comes to parenting, the two Hollywood stars have proven that they have a different view on things anyway.
Kellan Lutz
Kellan Lutz is one of those annoying beautiful people that make you want to rip your face off after realising that you can never look quite as good as them. He is a Big Deal in both the world of acting in Hollywood, appearing in movies like the Twilight series and new movie The Immortals, and also in the world of fashion. He has a contract with Ford Models, and has appeared in advertisements for Hilary Duff’s fragrance ‘With Love…Hilary Duff’, and also was one of the models featured in the 2010 Calvin Klein X underwear campaign. He recently appeared at the premiere of The Immortals wearing a classy black evening suit with a waistcoat, which I really liked because I think that the waistcoat is a rather underused and under-appreciated garment nowadays. Maybe Lutz can start a new fashion trend!
New Bond Villain
Like a lot of people, I am a big fan of the James Bond movie franchise. I remember watching some of the old movies when I was a kid, and they bring back fond memories of lying in a warm sleeping bag in front of the TV watching Roger Moore or Sean Connery sneaking into nasty places and dodging sharks and laser beams. Of course, this means that I was very disappointed when the upcoming Bond movie was cancelled due to financial difficulties experienced by MGM. However I am happy to see that a new Bond movie is now in the works, and even happier now I’ve seen that Javier Bardem will play the villain. I have been a fan of this Spanish actor for a long time now. He seems to have an air of classic sophistication, in the way that he acts as well as his fashion and style sense, that puts me in mind of some of the amazing actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood. He looks great whether he’s wearing a tux or just a casual shirt with jeans. Not to mention he is a very talented actor! Can’t wait to see this movie now!
Ashton Kutcher’s Photoshoot
Ashton Kutcher is a very talented actor, who has developed his image considerably from his earlier appearances in goofy comedy films like Dude Where’s My Car? and Just Married, maturing into great serious roles such as his starring role in The Butterfly Effect. Of course, he has also been a male fashion model in the past, modelling for such fashion industry giants as Calvin Klein. And it seems like he is getting back into the world of fashion modelling again. He appears in a very sexy ad campaign for the Brazilian fashion label Colcci along with supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio. There is an abundance of denim clothing one of the pictures from the photoshoot – Ambrosio wearing denim jeans and a denim shirt, and Kutcher wearing denim jeans paired with a dark blue plaid shirt.
