Teenagers love taking fashion risks. Sometimes it works (doesn’t Selena Gomez always look adorable?), and sometimes it doesn’t (remember fashion bomb Mischa Barton?).  Here are just a few examples of what NOT to wear when you’re a teen model, musician, actress or celebrity of any kind:

Taylor Momsen

When she’s not playing Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl, Taylor Momsen is trying way too hard to look like she doesn’t care about fashion.

The young woman needs a personal stylist… pronto.

Rihanna

Pop superstar Rihanna’s sleeveless top is funky. Her lipstick is gorgeous. The colossal matching sunglasses are fine.

The Kate Gosselin hair (on anyone, ever) is not.

Miley Cyrus

Yahoo’s OMG fashion critics compared Miley’s nasty dress to her famous father’s infamous mullet.

The fishnet stockings and a come-hither pout don’t fool us Miley, you still look like you’re 12.

Emma Stone

The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past actress appears to be channeling an angelic version of Wednesday Addams. The material and design are matronly, and the color blends right in with Emma’s pale skin.

The unnecessary bow around her neck is the only “blue ribbon” she’ll win with this ensemble.

Who would you add to this list?

Robert Pattinson, aka Edward Cullen, has been touted as a modern-day James Dean. RP has a style all his own, and once you get past his distracting hair, you can see that he’s actually a really cool dresser.

What’s interesting about RP is that he looks the same whether he’s posing for a photo shoot or walking through an airport terminal. He’s all about casual — jeans, T-shirt, and some five o’clock shadow.

Any guy can copy Rob’s style:

Best V from GAP
The Best V — previously called the perfect T — looks just like the expensive Armani T-shirts Rob often wears.

The Best V is a soft, nicely fitting tee that’s available in seven vibrant new colors: cape red, greenfield, nautical blue, postal blue, red mahogany, district green, and plum heather. Wear it  alone or as an accessory piece under a button-down. In stores and online, $18.

AE Outfitters Relaxed Straight Jean

RP wears expensive dark, straight-leg jeans by Dior, Diesel, Polo, and Denim & Thread.

Get the same look for less with the Dark Rich Tinted Relaxed Straight Jean from American Eagle Outfitters (formerly the Vintage Fit Jean).

The low-waist cotton denim jeans are relaxed through the leg and feature antiqued metal hardware, fading, and paint platter detailing.

Available in waist sizes 26 through 48 and inseam sizes 28 through 36.

Look for style #0117-2814 in stores and online, $59.50.

But if it’s Rob’s hair you want, I’m afraid you’re on your own.

Our kids worry about how they look for school, the mall, the football game… not the red carpet. That’s why my picks for the best-dressed teen celebrities is based on what the stars look like when they’re not modeling for the paparazzi.

#5 Chace Crawford
It’s probably unfair to put Chace Crawford on a best-dressed list. With a face and physique like his, Chace would look chic in a paper bag.

But the Gossip Girl star really does look his best when he’s not filming. Whether he’s wearing a white T-shirt or a Yankees ball cap, Chace drives the girls crazy.

Who else would rock a pair of Diesel Revick 88Z jeans (left) like Chace?

#4 Minka Kelly
Is it possible that Minka inherited her fashion sense from her parents? Doubt it — Dad’s an Aerosmith guitarist, and Mom’s a former Vegas showgirl.

The Friday Night Lights beauty always looks amazing.

Here (left) Minka struts her stuff in a pair of Hudson Signature bootcut jeans. Wow. And her furry friend makes the perfect accessory!

#3 Zac Efron
Zac once said that he’s “an actor who can sing a little bit.” But after his performances in High School Musical and Hairspray, it appears he can do both… and more.

What’s not to like about Zac? He’s talented, handsome, devoted to his girlfriend, has great hair, and always looks fab.

This (left) is how he dresses to get a bite to eat at Hugo’s Restaurant.

#2 Demi Lovato
Disney’s newest rising star is Demi Lovato. The star of Camp Rock, Princess Protection Program, and Sonny with a Chance is also a rising star on the fashion front.

Demi likes to take risks trying anything from neon pink lipstick to gothic chains and studs.

Her unique style really shines here (left) in this IRO Vardith cotton vest paired with ripped jeans and strappy black boots.

It’ll be interesting to see how Demi transitions from funky teen to young adult.

#1 Leighton Meester
Gossip Girl Blair Waldorf has access to the finest fashions. Sometimes it’s tough to tell if Leighton Meester, who plays Blair, is wearing her own duds or something from the show.

Leighton has superb taste. Here she is (left) out on the town in Phi zip black leather pants and a Proenza Schouler Resort 2010 bag.

Leighton has the best fashion instincts (or maybe the best stylist?) in Tinsel Town.

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?

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?

There was a time when looking like a vampire meant looking dark or gothic. But Twilight fans appreciate the real beauty of a vampire. Skin and smooth and perfect as marble. Satisfied golden eyes. Luscious blood-red lips.

Now anyone can flaunt vampire perfection.  This fall, Twilight Beauty.com will introduce two lines of makeup — Luna Twilight and Volturi Twilight — in conjunction with the release of New Moon.

Just as Bella cannot live without her Edward, makeup lovers will discover that they can’t possibly live without these fabulous new products.

Luna Twilight represents “the light coming through the darkness, the power of Edward’s love for Bella despite the obstacles that stand between them.” Choose from Just Bitten staining balm, Moonshadows eye color, and Mortal Glow blushing creme. In addition to the radiant makeup is the extraordinary packaging that any girl will proudly carry as an accessory.

Volturi Twilight “symbolizes never ending struggle between good and evil, right and wrong, love and lust.” Check out Twilight Venom lip stain, Immortal Liquid body shimmer, and Crown Metallic Mascara. Every package boasts the impressive royal crest of the ageless Volturi.

Twilight vampires are beautiful: Rosalie is perfect, Alice is darling, Victoria is wicked, and Jane is intimidating. No matter which gorgeous creature inspires you, Twilight Beauty gives you the tools you need to get there.

The Twilight Saga:  Teeny-bopper romance or timeless love story?

The adorable Hello Kitty character has been around for more than 35 years, but she’s never been more popular than she is right now. Celebs like Dakota Fanning, Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears and Perez Hilton are flaunting Hello Kitty everything — from apparel to bandages!

I have a Hello Kitty notebook. What do you — or your kids — have that features the feline icon?
