Sometimes it’s really nice to get all dressed up when you go out for the night. It’s nice to be able to feel really attractive and sexy, and probably one of the sexiest items of clothing out there are stockings. These can really accentuate the beautiful shape and smoothness of a woman’s legs, and they can boost your confidence a huge amount – after all how you look can very often affect how you feel. If you look your best, you are going to feel a lot better than if you go out wearing old, torn, dirty clothes. And celebrities know how stockings can make you look great – just check out pictures of Catherine Zeta-Jones or Kate Winslet wearing them to see how good they can look. Of course, for these actresses their image is extremely important, so they are going to try to look as good as they possibly can – stockings are clearly the way to go!

Off Days
We are so used to seeing our favourite celebrities wearing expensive, designer clothing that it is very easy to forget sometimes that they don’t wear this kind of stuff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You might see Angelina Jolie wearing diamond encrusted gowns and shoes worth thousands of dollars on the red carpet at a movie premiere, or Brad Pitt wearing an awesome Armani suit at a charity event, but it’s important to remember that these kind of events are always going to bring out the showy side of the rich and famous, because to a certain extent, this is what keeps them popular, famous and wealthy. If you look a bit further, you can find plenty of examples of what celebrities wear when they are not on camera – sportswear, old t-shirts and so on – that show us that they are just human after all.
Jennifer Lawrence
These days there always seems to be some big new movie or movie franchise coming out that is the next big thing, being featured in all of the newspapers, on all of the TV commercials, billboards and so on. Not that I am saying that this is a bad thing – we’ve had things like the Harry Potter franchise and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, both of which I think are definitely worth seeing. The latest movie to be given a huge amount of publicity is The Hunger Games – a dystopian science-fiction movie based on a popular book. One of the stars of this movie is a newish young actress called Jennifer Lawrence who has, like many young actresses nowadays, become something of a fashion icon due to her high profile in movies like this. She obviously has a great sense of fashion, or a brilliant stylist, because she has never put a foot wrong so far.
Celebrity Off Days
Lots of people like to get their fashion ideas, their new trends and styles and their hairstyle ideas from celebrities – just search for all of the celebrity fashion guides, websites and blogs that are spread all over the internet. Of course, this interest is at its greatest when there is some kind of large-scale event going on with lots of celebrities in attendance. For example, there’s always a huge crowd of fashion reporters at the red carpet on Oscars night, asking that familiar question – “so who are you wearing?” But something that is very important to remember is that these events are occasions when celebrities make a huge effort, and spend a large amount of time and money on making sure that they look as good as possible, with designer dresses and talented, expensive hair stylists and make-up artists on hand. If you really want to know how to look good every day, you need to look for pictures of these celebs on their ‘off days’ when they aren’t making a huge effort, see who still looks amazing in a sweatshirt and sports pants and use these more genuine images to create your style.
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!
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.
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!
Ali Lohan
I have just seen Ali Lohan’s fashion photo-shoot for fault magazine, a fashion and celebrity news magazine. To be absolutely honest with you, until just now I had never heard of Ali Lohan. Apparently she is the fashion-model-and-actress younger sister of controversial actress, pop-star and model Lindsay Lohan. And, again to be completely honest with you, I don’t really know what Lindsay Lohan has done either, although her name is better known to me than her sister’s. Anyway, the various news and gossip sites and blogs that I’ve visited are all fired up over these photos, in which Ali apparently shows off a radically different look to what she had before. To be fair, she is only 17 years old, but apparently people are discussing whether or not she has had plastic surgery to achieve her new look. Check the photos out here and judge for yourself.
Demi’s Film Premiere
A few days ago, on October 17th, Demi Moore’s new film Margin Call premiered in New York. In terms of her fashion sense and style, everything was as it usually is when it comes to Moore – she looked like a movie star. Which isn’t surprising, because she is. For the premiere, she opted for a red, three-quarter length cocktail-style dress, with a dark, floral-esque pattern. Combined with classic black high heels, she looked exactly the part. However, even all of this beauty and style could not sufficiently mask her obvious distress over husband Ashton Kutcher’s reported infidelity. Her body shape gave it away – she looks very thin, and of course this is hardly surprising. To not only go through the stress of a cheating husband, but to have to do it in front of the media cameras and reporters has to take its toll on anyone. But she actually didn’t seem to be in a terrible mood, so good on her for keeping her head up!
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!
