Celebrity Style - Paris Hilton

The American socialite Paris Hilton is a celebutante, heiress, model, media personality, singer and actress and is never out of the headlines for her ever-evolving feuds with other Hollywood party pack stars, ever-changing taste in pets and men, endless string of mishaps and most importantly clothes, shoes, hairstyle and her ostentatious diamond jewellery. Paris Hilton sets new standards for fashion and accessories and also for socialites every time she wakes up in the morning. You may chose to love her or hate her, but you just don't have the option to ignore Paris Hilton. She's always in the spotlight wherever she goes.

The style icon
The ultimate fashion icon, Paris Hilton's style is mostly impeccable, although there have been several occasions where she has been arrested by the fashion police for committing fashion faux pas of the highest order. This is mainly because the glamorous heiress takes her fashion quite seriously and loves to be outrageously sexy and daring in her choice of clothes, which as we all know, can go wrong.

Her famous craze for the colour pink has often been discussed in fashion magazines and over coffee tables. The celebutante, who has even gone to the extent of getting her car painted pink to suit her fancies, loves to dress up in everything pink. She pairs all her favorite pink piece of fashion with perfectly matching bright pink accessories, like a hot pink quilted bag for example. Her hair accessories, her jewelery, handbags and most famously her stiletto high heel shoes and everything else are prettified by the countless tones of pink. Speaking of her move to paint her Bentley Continental GT cherry blossom pink, the billionaire heiress nonchalantly says, "'I love it, it's so pretty. I've just always wanted a pink car."









Accessories and more accessories
The famous quote on fashion of Paris Hilton is "The only rule is don't be boring. Dress cute wherever you go." This hotel chain heiress pays a lot of attention to detail when it comes to her accessories. They are always in matching or in sync with her daring designer outfits. Recently, the 'Hottie and the Nottie' star was spotted in a blue and white sundress, blue cardigan, blue heels and blue handbag. And to top off the look she drove her customized blue Bentley.

Apart from her much talked about handbags, designer shoes and over-sized sunglasses that she always wears, the favorite, or rather the number one accessory of the 'Simple Life' star, is her Chihuahua. Paris has reportedly four Chihuahuas named Harajuku, Tokyo, Bambi, and Tinkerbell. She is even credited with popularizing the "toy dog" trend of carrying a small dog in one's oversize purse, which she's done with both Tinkerbell and her other Chihuahua, Bambi. The author of Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose, Paris wears her attitude on her sleeves. She was recently seen in a white tee with a statement, 'I love shoes, bags and boys'.

The party hearty actress is also said to be a huge fan of diamond jewelery. "I love fashion, and I love diamonds" proclaims Hilton who endorses Italian jewelery designer Damiani. Paris lately generated a lot of publicity by ordering $282k worth of diamonds for her Bentley's dashboard. Nicknamed 'Star' and 'Princess', Paris also owns an ever growing personal collection of diamond necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that she wears to special events.

She is mad about shoes
Paris is a celebrated shoe lover. She is known to possess thousands of pairs of designer shoes. There were even talk of donating some of them to an orphanage but it is difficult to find somebody of her shoes size. The 'Stars are Blind' party professional wears size 11 shoes, so she has all her shoes custom-designed to fit her large feet.

Apart from the large size, distinct features of Hilton's shoes are high heels and sling backs. Her favorite shoe styles being pointed stilettos, shiny pumps, mid-calf boots, high heel knee-high boots, sexy open-toe pumps, platforms with high heels, wedges of varying colours, and sports shoes. Paris Hilton's flat shoes, flip flops and sandals are also far from the ordinary. On special occasions you could see Paris wearing footwear by Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Christian Dior, Stuart Weitzman, Tylie Malibu, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Miu Miu and Yves Saint Laurent. Her love for animals is also prominently displayed in the choice of fabrics for her shoes that quite often sport leopard and zebra prints. The billionaire socialite also loves shoes with gold heels and those embellished with gems of different stones like rubies, amethysts, diamonds and emeralds.

According to stylists, Paris Hilton chooses an ideal pair of shoes for her outfits. Like her dress, they're fun and carefree, without being sloppy. Alongside her popular sportswear and fragrance lines, Paris also runs a footwear line. "I have always loved shoes and after working on my recently launched sportswear and fragrance lines this seemed like a natural next step", commented the radical shoe princess on her much hyped Paris Hilton Footwear range.

Celebrity Style - Rihanna

Rihanna (who's real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty) is a talented and multi-faceted artist who has established herself a singer par excellence, super sexy model and a glamorous beauty queen by the young age of 21. The Barbadian singer is known as much for her beauty as for her fashion and outrageous shoes. The bold and beautiful Rihanna has been nominated for nine Grammy Awards for her sensational album Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). Rihanna is the one and only singer and star to have received 5 Billboard Hot-100 in the present decade, while on the style front Rihanna is a fashion icon who starts some of the most ravishing style trends. Read on to get up-close and personal with Rihanna's fashion secrets, her accessories and the methods she uses to raise her sex appeal, like with a pair of seductive high heel shoes.

Flaunts her Bajan roots
Born and brought up in the beautiful continental island nation in the western Atlantic nation called Barbados, Rihanna moved to the US at the age of sixteen to pursue a recording career. People who know Rihanna are very much aware of the fact the 'Pon de Replay' singer is very patriotic about her country and wants the world to know where she's from. To make her cultural roots even more obvious, she incorporates a touch of her Bajan culture not just in her music but also in her dressing style. When Rihanna first made her mark in the music world, she immediately caught the attention of the western stylists as she brought in a tropical island feel to her clothes that you don't really see on other celebs. She also wore lots of floral prints and warm colors like red and yellow, and had no problem strutting around in a bikini and sarong.







Rihanna's fashion style
The 'Umbrella' singer came in public's eye when she was just 15. Now 21, Rihanna is a pro in everything - be it her music or her dressing style. The Barbadian songstress is already a fashion icon and a model figure for many teenagers. According to stylists, what keeps Rihanna way apart from others is her non-conformist sense of style. But, the 'Good Girl Gone Bad' artist likes to describe her style in a different way. To Rihanna her fashion style is all about having fun and staying true to herself. "I love to play to both sides of my personality - the girlie and the tough. That's what makes my style different", she told a magazine once.

Fans and stylists who have been observing Rihanna since the beginning of her music career say Rihanna has come a long way from her initial "Pon De Replay" days of baggy jeans and exposed lacy underwear. Today, Rihanna has set herself apart from other R&B starlets, as she now prefers designer couture over belly-baring crop tops. Much credit for her revamped image is given to her dedicated and talented team of experts who work hard for the R&B songstress. Celebrity stylist extraordinaire Mariel Haenn, who first teamed up with the pop star on the set of MTV's "My Super Sweet 16" says, "I always bring a ton of options, and I will give her my favorites and why I think they would work best. She most of the time goes with my top choice." Since working with Haenn, Rihanna has worn high-end designers like Yves Saint-Laurent, LaROK, Zac Posen, DSquared2, J. Mendel, Gucci, Jean-Paul Gaultier and BCBG. Rihanna's revamped image courtesy Haenn has helped her earn endorsement contracts of JCPenney's Miss Bisou brand. Discussing Rhi-Rhi's penchant for fashion forward brands, a leading fashion magazine once commented, "The Beyoncés and the Rihannas of the world are aware that their imagery and look is just as important as their talent and sound."

Rihanna's accessories
Rihanna knows how to step up or casual down her looks by teaming a perfect set of accessories. For instance, if her clothes are casual she will make sure her jewelry is eye catching. She will go in for big, glamorous necklaces, bracelets and earrings to spice up a simple dress. Her selection of purses, shoes, make-up, and hair style everything will just be perfect and also appropriate for the event.

However, according to many stylists, Rihanna's most enchanting accessory is her alluring smile which she always wears, no matter the outfit, no matter the event. Oodles of confidence that comes naturally to people who get early and well-deserved fame adds a glittering aura around Rihanna making her look very sensuous and desirable.

Rihanna's shoes
Rihanna takes her shoes very seriously. The 'Girl Like Me' artist wears designer high heel shoes on the red carpet, for her performances, for interviews, photo-shoots, when hitting the town and even when she is injured! She knows the art of ensuring she looks impeccable even when she is supposedly dressed casually and can definitely up her sex appeal when she is making public appearances by knowing what the right pair of flat sandals or high heel stilettos is to compliment the rest of her outfit.

Stylists who have always been awestruck with Rihanna's selection of shoes agree that Rihanna has some awesomely fierce shoe choices. Her bold high heel shoes always scream for attention. More than often Rhi-Rhi's shoes are the most noticeable, most expressive and most talked about aspect of her ensemble which generally consists of designer outfits and expensive jewelry.

Some of Rihanna's much discussed shoes are Giuseppe Zanotti pumps, patent peep toe booties, kinky gladiator style knee high boots with high heels by Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin booties, lace-up boots, on-trend riding boots, Chanel leather cap toe pumps, Yves Saint Laurent jelly wrap-up sandals, Alaia's black lace-up gladiator flat boots, Balmain fringed sandals, patent thigh-high lace-up boots and black pointy shoes pump etc. The choice of Rihanna's high heel shoes clearly shows the songstress's personality and confident character, and already a style-icon, she takes her daring fashion-sense to newer heights and at the same time pumps up her massive sex appeal every time she steps into the public eye.

Celebrity Style - Beyonce Knowles

Super hot and talented musician and fashion icon, Beyoncé, is tired of her pop star status. She's had enough of that and now aspires to be a legend and an icon. The famous Destiny's Child lead singer, born as Beyoncé Giselle Knowles, has tasted phenomenal success in the US in every sphere she has laid her hands on. The multitalented phenomenon sings, composes and writes her own songs. She is an actress par excellence with two Golden Globe nominations in tow, a record producer and runs her family's fashion line, House of Deréon. But to many, Beyoncé is an ultimate fashion diva, a seductive glamorous woman that enchants you with a hint of her vulnerable down-to-earth attitude.

Beyoncé vs. Sasha Fierce

There are two sides to Beyonce' as we know her. One is a simple and innocent Beyonce to her friends, family and some fans. The other is a more dynamite diva she herself has named Sasha Fierce to her fans. The truly professional performer that she is, Beyonce has marked a strong line between her professional and personal life and she says the transformation from Beyonce to Sasha is very spontaneous. According to the superstar herself, "I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am." So basically Beyonce feels as though she has an alter ego that takes over every time she goes on stage.

There is an unbelievable contrast between Beyonce, the person and Sasha, the superstar. Beyonce prefer her looks sans make-up, or very casual, while the 'bootylicious' Sasha Fierce likes to draw attention with golden pinks and blue shadows on her lids, with a dark liner inside the inner rims of her eye, complemented with a peachy pink gloss. "I love that there are two sides to her," says makeup artist Mally Roncal. "One is the natural side, which is about her being real and not wearing much makeup. Then there's her adventurous side, where I can put strong green shadows on her eyes and fuchsia or orange on her lips.

In terms of the fashion too, Beyonce is very different from her alter-ego Sasha. While Beyoncé prefers simple jeans and a tee, her stage persona Sasha flaunts her voluptuous figure by wearing plunging necklines, mini skirts or anything else that accentuates her 'assets'. A lot of jewelery, especially big earrings, spindly high heels is worn, and more often than not, is complemented with a new hair style - combine all this and add to it the shining aura of her incredible success - you have your Sasha Fierce right in front of you.







The ultimate fashion icon
A powerful sex symbol, Beyonce has always been mindful of her looks. She told a magazine, "I am very conscious of how I look and my image and how I am with people." The '2008 Style Star of the Year' has a team that has been working with her since she was 15, "every show, every earring, every shade of eye shadow is all something that comes from me and my team." The songstress claims she never leaves the house without a full head-to-toe examination by her personal stylists. "I'm very much a perfectionist, and even before I was a pop star, or celebrity or whatever you want to call whatever I am, I was always that way. Always!", says Destiny Child lead singer.

The curvaceous beauty is so conscious of her looks that a fan of hers points out, "[Knowles] portrays herself as a sex symbol rather than an artist." But her critics claim that Beyonce has proven in her music and acting career that she is as versatile as her fashion style. Often complimented for her choice of clothing and accessories, Beyoncé says, "I like to dress sexy and I carry myself like a lady," but she has said that the way she dresses on stage is "absolutely for the stage".

Women admire her ravishing bold fashion style calling her a purely independent woman when it comes to her style. According to Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, Knowles uses different styles and tries to harmonize it with the music while performing.

Crazy about shoes
The 'Dangerously in Love' singer loves to pick her accessories, "I do it for myself because I enjoy fashion. It makes me feel like me." Apart from Chanel jewellery, the five times Grammy Award winning Beyonce is crazy about glamorous shoes. The pop culture super star admitted that when it comes to shoes she is as vulnerable as the average woman.

The 'New Shoes' singer said, stilettos are one of her weaknesses, when a pair grabs her eye, she cannot resist hopping into a shop. "I love a high heel", she said during an interview and confessed she prefers the "super-high" variety in particular. "I love those super-high shoes that are out at the moment. I'm addicted," she exclaimed.

Beyonce is also famously popular for matching her accessories. She was once seen sporting some matching embellished high heel boots and a bag. Some of the most noticed shoe styles of Beyonce are diamante and glittery shoes, high heel stiletto shoes, red metallic toe shoes, fiercely high mock-croc heels, high heel pumps in bright colours, towering pair of brown patent platforms with a spindly spiked heel, pointed toe pumps, ankle-strap high heels, wildly sexy open toed high heel sandals that displays her brightly painted nails and sexy toe cleavage. Apart from very high heel stilettos and wedge high heels in spectacular designs, Beyonce also fancies platform high heel shoes.

Celebrity Style - Katie Holmes

 



 

 Once a low-key girl, who couldn't pronounce Badgley Mischka on the red carpet in 1998, actress Katie Holmes underwent an amazing style transformation after her marriage to Hollywood hunk Tom Cruise. A strong style influence from close friend and fashion maverick Victoria "Posh" Beckham is also said to have acted as a major catalyst in Katie's transformation from a small town girl to today's trend setter and fashion icon.


Discover more about Katie Holmes's gradual but dramatic makeover post marriage as well as the strong influence BFF Posh Beckham has had on her. You will also be surprised to know that Katie's extravagant love for designer high heel shoes is much to the dislike of shorter-than-wife hubby Tom Cruise.

Wedding with Tom Cruise

Katie's high profile affair followed by a wedding with Hollywood's most famous actor, Tom Cruise, transformed her from the girl-next-door in Dawson's Creek to the A-list fashionista she is today. The highly publicised affair of TomKat, as media prefers to call them, began in 2005. The 16 years difference between the two and the fact that Tom was planning his third marriage made many people skeptical about their relationship. The couple was madly in love though (and still is to this day). Not minding the age difference, the self-proclaimed "honest, determined, and imaginative" Katie accepted to be Tom's third wife when he proposed her atop Paris's Eiffel Tower. On April 18, 2006, Holmes gave birth to their daughter, Suri and on November 18, 2006, she and Cruise were married in Italy.

Since her wedding, fashionistas have noticed a huge transformation in Katie Holmes in terms of her style and her looks. The blush of a happy married life is there for sure, but what is absolutely astounding is her makeover from a simple girl to glamorous fashion icon. Her fashionable hair cuts, designer outfits, and ultra-chic high heels have made her the most talked about celeb mommy. But Katie is also said to have worked hard and spent lots to get her ravishing A-list looks. Recently it was stated that Katie underwent a $43,000 makeover during a trip to Tokyo. The trip reportedly consisted of "intensive pampering sessions by a team of beauty experts."

Her BFF Victoria Beckham

Best friend Victoria Beckham is said to be a major influence behind Katie's new über chic look. A hot glamorous woman who's every dress and every shoe is anxiously covered by paparazzi, Posh Beckham has reportedly given several tips on dressing and styling to Mrs. Cruise.

The former Dawson's Creek star, Katie was fascinated with Victoria's style and transformed herself accordingly. However, it was stated that 'Posh felt rather uncomfortable that her style was being mimicked so literally.' After having long locks for most of her career, Katie went for a 'Pob' cut - the Posh version of a bob - in 2007 - nine months after Victoria lost her hair extensions. Though the Batman Begins star in her recent campaign pictures for Miu Miu won kudos for her outfits, expression, makeup and hairstyle, she was also accused of stealing Victoria's style. Observers are noting that Victoria Beckham is finding it hard to remain friends with Katie Holmes because she feels Tom's other half consistently swipes her once signature style.

Katie's love for high heel shoes

Katie is head over heels in love with high heel shoes much to the dislike of her shorter husband. While Katie is 5293 Tom Cruise is just 52 73, the two look odd together even when she is wearing flats. And, Tom is reportedly said to feel quite awkward when Mrs. Cruise chooses to tower over him in her vertiginous high heel shoes. Cruise is said to be pilfering his wife's shoes, to which Katie just shrugs and says, "Well, he's given me another reason to go shopping for another pair!"

Like her BFF Victoria Beckham who tots five inch plus heels even while she takes her three boys to park, Katie too does not stop herself from wearing spindly stiletto shoes even when she has to carry little Suri in her arms. Crazy about heels, Katie has also been spotted wearing high heels on the beach.

Katie Holmes' shoe size is said to be 11 inches and her feet aren't as pretty as her face, as her toes are rather long and knobbly. However, she covers up her secret by wearing some of the most impressive and sexy shoes available. Some of the most famous shoes Katie wears are the cracked metallic bronze pumps by Jimmy Choo which she wore at the War of The World premiere, Stuart Weitzman pumps she wore at the SAG awards, "St. Tropez" gladiator sandals by Yves Saint Laurent, Azzedine Alaïa peep-toe ankle boots, patent leather sky-high stiletto platforms, and black cut-out/gladiator peep-toe pumps.

Katie's top favourite shoes are bright blue-heeled shoes, vintage red-beaded shoes, Christian Louboutin Mary Jane flats, sexy red spiked heeled shoes, braided sandals, Chanels, Lanvin, Roger Vivier, Alexander Mcqueen, Balenciaga, Giorgio Armani and Hogan.

Suri too wears designer shoes like her mom

Katie's cute little daughter Suri is already a fashion icon too. The celebrity mom is said to have ordered a pair of custom high fashion Christian Louboutin shoes for Suri when she was just 18-month-old. Now, that Suri is three, her cute bob haircut, sun dresses and shoes are as discussed as her moms. Suri does not yet wear high heel shoes, but glamorous mom Katie Holmes can often been spotted running comfortably after her in her designer sky-high shoes.

Celebrity Style - Madonna

Madonna is without a doubt, one of the true style icon's of the 1980's. With outfits ranging from virginal to erotic, Madonna trademarked the cone bra look, and truly inspired fashion for a whole generation. With a wonderful blend of creativity, individuality and sensuality, Madonna truly made a stamp on the pop world and earned herself the title, 'Queen of Pop.' She has enjoyed a hugely successful pop career, and is one the most successful female solo artists of all the time. Throughout her career, she has never been afraid to experiment with her style, and has even walked down a Jean Paul Gaultier catwalk show topless, much to the delight of her loyal fans. She is sexy, outrageous, and positively fantastic.

At 52 years old, Madonna has far from grown old gracefully. With her obvious love for the gym, Madonna has an incredibly athletic body and still cavorts on stage wearing leotards and other figure revealing outfits. She has had more hairstyles and colours than we could ever imagine, and has displayed almost every style possible to man, even making the tom boy and casual tracksuit look seem appealing. She also has a huge passion for designers, and has been seen in outfits by Versace, Stella McCartney, Valentino, and everything in between. Her style and physique are sure to have helped her capture the many toy boys she has been seen with over the years, and who can blame her!








Amongst her ever expanding list of occupations such as singer, actress, author, film producer and film director, Madonna also recently launched her very own clothing brand, aptly named 'material girl' in retail outlet, Macy's. This was a joint venture with her daughter, Lourdes (Lola) who appears to be following in her mother's footsteps, and is becoming a bit of a fashionista herself. The style of the range is funky, and aimed at young ladies from teenage to mid-twenties, with prices suitable for all budgets. This is not the first time Madonna has dabbled in the fashion industry, she also created a successful clothing range for retailers, H & M.

More recently, Madonna has became part of another huge advertising campaign by famous designers, Dolce and Gabbana, for their 2010/11 collection. The photos show Madonna looking hotter than ever, posing as a housewife in various black and white shots, wearing some fabulous designs by the Italian pair. The ad has been released under the name of 'Desperately Seeking Housewife' and shows that Madonna is still managing to look fantastic in her fifties. In the photos, she proudly shows off her 'to die for' body and looks every inch the superstar.

With her amazingly toned physique, Madonna is a true style icon, whose looks seem to be defying the ageing process. We are bound to see her wearing more illustrious creations over the next few years, and becoming part of further fashion related ventures. This is one diva who won't be hanging up her high heels any time soon.
