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.

Vuitton sues the Hangover

One of the most anticipated big comedy movies of the last year or so was The Hangover II, due to the success of the original film (a great movie that you should check out if you haven’t done so already). Personally, I watched this movie for two reasons. Firstly, it’s hilarious seeing those guys trying to extract themselves from the awkward position that their drunken exploits have got them into. Secondly, it has actually also got some great fashion in it. Various suits, shoes and sunglasses are seen throughout the movie. In fact, the reason I’m writing about the movie here is that the movie is being sued by fashion giant Louis Vuitton because it featured a fake Vuitton bag. This has got to be the strangest news that I’ve heard for a while – you would have thought the producers of the movie would have thought about that before.

Celebrity Trends and Facebook

Posted on by

For the latest trends and fashions, and the latest news on what we should all be wearing, it is usually best to look to celebrity trends, because celebrities are the ones that have the greatest amount of access to fashion trend predictions and generally they are the ones who can afford to splash out on news styles and trends, especially those haut-couture trends that maybe cost a little bit more than most other styles. This is true, whether you are interested in clothes for women or menswear, although of course the specific celebrities that you are interested in following the fashion trends of will be different depending on whether you’re a woman or a man. One good thing to do is to ‘follow’ the celebrity on Twitter or Facebook – most celebrities at the moment are using at least one of these – and you will find lots of updates this way.

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.

A Man’s Bag

Posted on by

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.
