Robert Pattinson’s Style is Easy to Imitate

Written by Mary Fetzer on November 2, 2009 – 10:31 am -

Robert Pattinson's Style

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:

Robert Pattinson's StyleBest 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.

Robert Pattinson's StyleAE 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.

Tell us what you think about Robert Pattinson’s style?  Sexy or sloppy?

10 Best Dressed Teens in Tinseltown, Part 2

Written by Mary Fetzer on October 26, 2009 – 4:24 pm -

Click to access >> 10 Best Dressed Teens in Tinseltown, Part 1

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.

10 Best Dressed Teens#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?

10 Best Dressed Teens#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!

10 Best Dressed Teens#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.

10 Best Dressed Teens#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.


10 Best Dressed Teens#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.

10 Best-Dressed Celebrity Teens in Tinseltown, Part 1

Written by Mary Fetzer on October 21, 2009 – 11:16 pm -

We identify specific looks with veteran celebrities: Angelina Jolie wears black. Victoria Beckham wears a constant pout. Kim Kardashian wears clothes that are at least one size too small.

The real trendsetters are the young Hollywood celebs. The teen set isn’t afraid to take fashion risks and flaunt the latest styles. And young people seem more willing to make casual dress interesting and easy to imitate.

Here are my (non-red carpet) picks for the 10 best-dressed young people in Tinseltown:

10 Best Dressed Teens#10 Emma Watson
The elegant Harry Potter star has grown up before our very eyes, and the older she gets, the more glamour she is. The paparazzi have never caught her in a bad-fashion moment.

Emma easily wears Louis Vuitton, Chanel, D&G and Burberry in photo shoots, on the red carpet, and even at the airport (shown here).

Emma’s best fashion accessory?  Her adorable, ever-present smile.

10 Best Dressed Teens#9 Dev Patel
The award-winning Slumdog Millionaire actor flaunts award-winning style. The handsome teen always looks sharp — whether sporting a suit, a T-shirt or one of his trademark vests.

Dev understands the importance of details (like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra watch he wears here).

Look for more of this fine young man the upcoming film M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender.

10 Best Dressed Teens#8 Taylor Swift
She’s the beautiful country songbird has captured the hearts of all music lovers (and Kanye West haters).

Not only can Taylor sing, she can work it baby. She looks equally amazing in a Balenciaga gown and a Topshop shirt (left).

My favorite thing about Taylor?  Her incredible ringlets of spun gold. I don’t care if she wears them long and loose or up a messy chignon — she has hair to die for.

10 Best Dressed Teens#7 Taylor Lautner
#8 and #7 on our list share a first name, awesome style, and a new movie. The Taylors star together in 2010’s Valentine’s Day.

But it’s another movie that has made Lautner a super hunk — Twilight and the millions of Team Jacob fans who prefer werewolves over vampires.

He looks fabulous in this Diesel Luchas leather jacket (left), but his best asset is the 30 pounds of muscle he packed on for New Moon.

Best Dressed Teens#6 Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens’ High School Musical character didn’t have much confidence, but the actress herself has plenty.

Vanessa doesn’t dress like everyone else… she has her own look, and she wears it well.

Vanessa defines boho chic. No pattern is too bold for her. She indulges in flowy clothes, fringes, tons of jewelry and funky headbands — sometimes all at once!

Many girls want to imitate this bronze beauty, but few will be successful.

Stay tuned for my top 5 Best Dressed Tinseltown Teens!

Abercrombie & Fitch Introduce Sexist T-Shirts

Written by Mary Fetzer on September 30, 2009 – 10:50 pm -

Do A&F T-shirts Promote Recreational Sex

“Show the Twins”
“Female Students Wanted for Sexual Research”
“Female Streaking Encouraged”

You’ll find these lovely sentiments on the New College line of  T-shirts from Abercrombie & Fitch. The American Family Association (AFA) is not happy.

In a recent email press release, AFA president Tim Wildmon stated, “Abercrombie & Fitch does not merely sell a popular line of clothing, they sell a lifestyle. And because A&F clothing is popular among teens and college kids, the influence of their sex-as-recreation lifestyle is widespread.” According to the AFA, younger teens and pre-teens are also a target of the retailer’s “sexualized shirts” and “pornographic-themed material.”

The AFA is right. Abercrombie & Fitch knows darned well that kids, tweens and young teens covet the clothes their elder role models wear, and A&F clothing is well represented in pop culture. Characters from The O.C., The Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill and the blockbuster movie Twilight wear A&F apparel. The actors who play our favorite roles — Jennifer Anniston, Chace Crawford, Alexis Bledel, Nikki Reed — wear A&F in real life, too.

But beyond the whole “sex-as-recreation” argument is the fact that these T-shirts are just downright sexist.

Parents:  Will you patronize this company whose “messages” degrade young women?

Celebrities Wear Braces, Too

Written by Mary Fetzer on September 23, 2009 – 10:00 am -

Celebrities Wear Braces TooLourdes 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?

Motorcycle Jackets are Hot!

Written by Mary Fetzer on September 17, 2009 – 12:38 am -

Motorcycle JacketsThe 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.

Motorcycle JacketsColors…

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.Motorcycle Jackets

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.

Motorcycle Jackets

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.

Motorcycle Jackets

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.

Motorcycle JacketsNot 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?

Written by Mary Fetzer on August 24, 2009 – 12:30 pm -

The Cell Phones Celebrities UseCell phones are as much a back-to-school necessity as pencils and backpacks. Your kids can make a fashion statement by flaunting the phone used by a favorite celeb. Coolspotters.com keeps track of the phones stars use, like Haylie and Hilary Duff (right) with the Sidekick 3.
