Liv Tyler

Liv Tyler is not only very well known for being an extremely beautiful woman and a fantastic actress, with movie credits including Stealing Beauty, Jersey Girl and Armageddon – she is also well known for being the daughter of famous rocker Steve Tyler, the singer from the band Aerosmith. Given this connection, you would think that she would surely let her father know if she was going to be doing any public singing. But when Liv recently demonstrated her vocal talents in a new commercial for Givenchy’s perfume Very Irresistible Givenchy Electric Rose, she apparently did not even tell her family or her dad about her work on this project. I hope that her father was pleased about it once he did actually get to see it, and I am sure he was very impressed with the result.

Celebrities and Tanktops

I expect that everyone reading this has at least a couple of tank tops in their wardrobe right now. It is just such a useful piece of clothing. A white tank top can really go together with a huge amount of different styles and outfits. If you are just heading out for a relaxed day around town, and you are wearing jeans, a tank top is the perfect thing to just throw on and go. You can also achieve many slightly smarter or ‘smart/casual’ looks by doing nothing more than just adding a few accessories to your outfit – such as a fashionable scarf, or some nice-looking jewellery. You can combine a tank top with a short skirt to achieve some great summer outfits, or with a longer skirt to get a kind of ‘business chique’ look, which can be great for the office. The tank top is also a favourite of many celebs, like Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston, Pixie Lott and Milla Jovovich.

Sex and the City Fashion

The world of popular culture at the moment seems to be dominated by sex, celebrities and fashion. This is why there are so many magazines, television shows and movies that feature these themes heavily. The television show Sex and the City, for example, was a hugely successful production (mainly amongst women), because it contained a lot of sex and a lot of truly beautiful fashion apparel. A huge number of pieces from the biggest and best fashion designers were featured in the show and in the spinoff movies, including items from Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Dior, Chanel, Gucci and many, many more. In the movie, Carrie Bradshaw, the writer portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker, wore, amongst other things, a stunning D & G dress with a studded belt. No wonder we eat all of this up and ask for more!

Movie Style

Movies and television shows often have an undeniable impact on us, particularly with regard to the clothes that we wear, and the trends and styles that we adopt. I think that this has something to do with the celebrity culture that is prevalent in our society – actors and actresses are, after all, some of the biggest celebrities in the world, in terms of their fame and influence. And as movies are often very stylised, in order to give a certain look and feel to them – you can see how they can very easily be influential in terms of style. Just think about all of the long leather jackets and stylised sunglasses that suddenly popped up everywhere after The Matrix was released. And if a famous movie star starts to style his hair in a new, interesting way, you can bet that many guys will have copied the look in a few days.

Weisz Ad Pulled

Posted on by

We all know that the creators of some fashion commercials tend to take a bit of ‘creative license’ with what their products are shown to be capable of. Personally I think that this is definitely not a good thing. I think that it’s important for commercials to be honest, and to give a realistic demonstration of what their products are capable of achieving, instead of using software like Photoshop to improve and enhance these effects. This is why I am pleased that a L’Oreal commercial featuring the actress Rachel Weisz has recently been pulled from UK television by the Advertising Standards Authority. Not that I have anything against L’Oreal per say – I just think that if this kind of thing is allowed to continue, there’s no telling where our adverts might end up. Maybe we’ll eventually have a bottled water company claiming that they can grant eternal life…

Lingerie Museum

Posted on by

In Los Angeles, or more specifically in Hollywood, just a few blocks away from the famous Chinese Theatre, there is a rather garish and large building. It is painted grey and pink, and stands out rather distinctly from the surrounding buildings. This unique building is called Frederick’s of Hollywood, and is a very famous and very distinguished lingerie store. Here you can buy an extremely wide range of different lingerie styles and types. But what is particularly cool and unique about this store, and what makes it suitable for this blog, is the so-called ‘Celebrity Lingerie Hall of Fame’. Here one can walk about and view their exhibits, which consist of lingerie worn by the rich and powerful at important events. Some examples include a top worn by Madonna, the boxer shorts worn by Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump and a corset worn by Ingrid Bergman. Check it out if you’re ever in the area.

Angelina Jolie

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.

Golden Globes ’12

Posted on by

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.

Red Haired Beauty

People with ginger or red hair for some reason have kind of a bad reputation in our society. It’s quite common for kids that have ginger hair to be bullied at school. I am not really sure where this animosity comes from. I am not saying that this is such a serious problem, because this idea is normally just used as a kind of joke, and generally is not taken seriously at all, but the idea is still there. Of course, the idea that people with ginger or red hair are ‘strange’, or ugly is entirely without foundation. Just think of all the famous people that have red or ginger hair and you can see that this is not the case. Prince Harry, John Glenn, Lily Cole, Conan O’Brien and Kate Winslet are all great examples of how red-haired people can be beautiful and brilliant.

Famous Sisters

Posted on by

There are quite a lot of high-profile siblings that are famous and celebrities for one thing or another. One thinks about the Olsen twins – Mary-Kate and Ashley – who I have talked about in this blog in the past. The Olsen twins are former child stars who have now made considerable forays into the world of fashion, with their fashion designer output having met with considerable critical success. The Hilton sisters are another famous celebrity pairing of siblings. Maybe the newest addition to this select group are the Fanning sisters – Ellie and Dakota. They are actresses who have also met with a lot of success since their debut in the movie I Am Sam. These sisters, in addition to being successful in the acting business, are – like a lot of other actors and actresses – something of fashion icons. Many young people look to them to know what’s ‘hot’ in fashion, and what’s not.
