Teen fashion trends are inspired by the most popular celebrities of the moment. This generation looks to Disney TV stars and Twilight movie icons. Forget what these stylish young women are wearing on the red carpet, it’s their everyday look that keeps us interested (and imitating).

So the next time you’re at the mall trying to find something — anything — for your teen to wear, try to picture the actresses and musical performers your kids adore.

FOR EDGY FASHION…
…think Miley Cyrus. With ripped jeans, off-the-shoulder tops and message tees, Miley stands apart from the rest of young Hollywood. Her off-screen attire is a tad more adventuresome than her clean Hannah Montana wear.

Here (right) Miley texts on her Sidekick LX while chillin’ in Gypsy 05 Riley peace-print wide-let sweats and cutoff sweatshirt. Who else would consider topping this casual outfit with a tween newsboy cap and braids?!

FOR THAT NEW ENGLAND PREPPY LOOK…
… think The Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez (left). Heralded as “the next Miley Cyrus,” Selena always wears clothes that are fun, fashionable and age-appropriate.

In this photo, Selena looks adorable in an American Eagle cardigan and skinny black jeans. The black ballet flats, big shades and striped hobo bag keep the outfit from looking too studious.

FOR THAT BOHO HIPPIE-CHICK LOOK…
…think Vanessa Hudgens (right). The High School Musical star receives rave reviews on her signature laid-back fashion sense. Vanessa is a natural beauty who can make a burlap sack look gorgeous.

In this photo, Vanessa is modeling a truly modern hippie style. She’s wearing funky Ecko Red crosshatch shorts and a versatile Ecko Red cropped denim jacket. Vanessa completes with outfit with unique knee-high socks and the Red by Marc Ecko Chalsie-Prissy Sneaker. And, according to teens in the know, even her Sharpie is a hip accessory!

FOR THAT TRUE POP STAR LOOK…

…think Ashley Tisdale (left). The Disney superstar knows how to act, sing and work it, baby! From her hair color to her hats, Ashley is a true trendsetter.

In this pic, Ashley flaunts a Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolore Speedy 30 handbag (Sharpei would approve!), Nike Legend High Premium LE boots, a Blue Life V-Luptuous tee, Rebel Yell M Patch Foldover Leggings and the True Religion’s super-cool horseshoe hat. We even like her buff male accessory!

THE GIRL-NEXT-DOOR LOOK…
…think Ashley Greene. As Twilight’s beloved Alice, Ashley has become America’s sweetheart. Her big-screen alter ego is known for her sense of style, and Ashley herself is, too.

In this photo (right), Ashley was spotted wearing a darling Miss Me embroidered empire long-length dress in plum. Can’t you just totally picture this dress on pixie-haired Alice!?

Hollywood offers so many more young fashionistas — Emma Watson, Lauren Conrad, Miranda Cosgrove… the list goes on and on!

If you could copy any starlet’s look, whose would it be?
