Lourdes Leon is following in mom Madonna’s footsteps, always looking hip in cutting-edge fashion.

Lourdes’ latest fashion statement, however, cannot be found in any boutique. Lourdes is flaunting good, old-fashioned metal braces!

Some celebrities can thank good genes for their dazzling smiles, but most need a little help. Many of them flaunt straight, white teeth thanks to cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as caps, bonds and porcelain veneers. But there are also those newsmakers who take a less glamorous approach to achieve the perfect bite.

If your kid is balking at the idea of orthodontics, remind him/her about some of these famous metal mouths (courtesy of ABC News):

• Gwen Stefani (1991) as the lead singer of No Doubt
• Prince Harry (1999)
• Tom Cruise and Nicholas Cage  (2002)
• Danny Glover (2006)
• Dakota Fanning (2007)
• American Idol winner Fantasia (2008)

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with a charming, imperfect smile (look at Lourdes’ own mother!). Here are some famous folks with less-than-perfect teeth:

• David Letterman
• Hillary Clinton
• Jewel
• Kirsten Dunst
• Lauren Hutton
• Morgan Freeman

Julia Roberts. Farrah Fawcett. Denzel Washington. George Clooney. Which celebrity smile is your favorite?

The latest trend in outwear is the motorcycle jacket. We’re not talking Harley Davidson biker chic (although that’s pretty cool, too).

We like the motorcycle jacket — in fabulous new colors and fabrics — paired with just about everything.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite, most stylish celebrities for a fashion show of this contemporary and versatile piece.

Black Leather…
The classic black, leather motorcycle jacket is exactly what we expect to see on Kristen Stewart. Here, Kristen pairs her jacket with denim cutoff shorts, a simple white tee, funky jewelry and Joan Jett hair. Jacket by PRPS.

Colors…

Beige
Dakota Fanning (left) looks cool and casual in a beige leather motorcycle jacket. She takes an otherwise boring outfit and makes it super hip with this well-fitted piece from Bebe Antique. Even though we’re sometimes not sure if Dakota is a big girl or a young woman, her clothes somehow are always age appropriate.

Gray
Meanwhile, Jessica Stroup (right) is too hot to handle in this H&M faux leather motorcycle jacket. The amazing gray-blue color beautifully complements Jessica’s sexy black mini dress. We can totally picture Jessica’s 90210 character wearing this very jacket.

Brown
Another gorgeous Jessica (Biel, left) wears her biker jacket in brown. With casual jeans and a what could be Justin Timberlake’s scarf, Biel’s William Rast leather motorcycle jacket offers a nice alternative to biker-black. Biel is dressed for shopping, lunching, or just hangin’ around.

Fabrics…

We absolutely love Blake Lively’s contemporary motorcycle jacket. The Alexander Wang piece combines soft denim blue suede, lambskin sleeves and a silk lining.

Not just for girls…

We can always count on American Idol winner and fashion icon Adam Lambert to show us the trends. In his black leather motorcycle jacket from the Monarchy Collection, Lambert is the consummate pop and rock star.

Other celebs spotted in motorcycle jackets include Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, Rihanna, Ellen Page, Demi Lovato and Rachel Bilson.

How about you? Do you like your leather black and studded or colorful and soft?

Short, long, or somewhere in between…  Whatever your hair length, you can look like a celebrity. Check out these famous coifs for inspiration:

SHORT
Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham defines short hair, getting edgier with each changing style. From the much-imitated inverted bob to her current pixie cut, Posh is a short-hair icon.

If you think your short hair limits your style options, consider playing with color. Pink can rock it straight and blonde or silver and curly.

MEDIUM
Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen always looks trendy with blond, carefree locks that just brush her shoulders.

Christina Aguilera is always changing her look, but her latest ‘do — with funky baby bangs — keep this talented mom looking young and fab.

LONG
Straight. Curly. Bangs. No bangs. Disney superstar Selena Gomez can do no wrong with her healthy chestnut locks.

American Idol Jordin Sparks makes the most of her long mane, glamming it up with a bouffant ponytail or wearing it down for that girl-next-door look.

Blake Lively’s golden ringlets. Katie Holmes new extensions. Paris’ sideswept waves. Halle’s cropped perfection. Who’s hair do you envy?
