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.

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

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 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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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!

“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?

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?

Ellen Degeneres raised a lot of money for the fight against breast cancer with her “Laugh, Dance, Cure” t-shirts. Stars like Eva Longoria, Christina Milian (right), Selena Gomez, and Kim Kardashian flaunt Privacy wear to show their “Commitment to the Cure.” Twilight’s Ashley Green has helped ta-tas® brand breast cancer shirts raise more than $333,000 for research.

Now your child can join the cause with “Find A Cure Before I Grow Boobs” products from Zazzle. Whether she’s 10 days or 10 years old, your daughter can show the world that she hopes for a healthy future.

This onesie (left) and the T-shirt (below) send the message loud and clear. Who wouldn’t want to give their little one a long, cancer-free life?

(There’s stuff for Mom, Dad and older kids, too. You can find everything from mousepads to neckties at Zazzle.)

Critics say these shirts are too “sexual” for little girls. What do you think?

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?

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star sneakers have been around for a long time…  according to Wikipedia, since 1917!

Trendy or tacky? Tell us what you think of celebrities and their Chuck Taylor All Stars.

Girls aren’t the only ones wanting to have the latest hairstyles. Guys today spend a ton of money and effort getting just the right look. So, what is the “right look” for back-to-school 2009? Take a cue from some of today’s hottest celebrities:

The hunky “Gossip Girl” star Chace Crawford has THE look. It may seem like he just rolled out of bed, but that carefree look is the product of styling gel, highlights, and the perfect cut. Chace’s long bangs play up his gorgeous baby blue eyes. This style looks best on guys with chiseled facial features. One thing’s for sure… however Chace wears his hair in the upcoming remake of Footloose, it’ll look better than Kevin Bacon’s!

Some guys hate their curly hair, but Jake T. Austin of Disney’s “The Wizards of Waverly Place” knows how to work it. The Hotel for Dogs heartthrob once wore his hair to his shoulders. His new, shorter cut is more grown-up and masculine. Jake wears a side part and lets the curls go where they may. We’ve got our eye on this young man — he’s a “natural” as a little league baseball player in 2009’s The Perfect Game.

Then there’s Taylor Lautner. Sure, we love the long, luscious locks he wears as werewolf Jacob in Twilight and New Moon, but his cropped coif shows off his adorable half boy/half man features so beautifully! Taylor’s hair looks like it could suffer some serious cowlicks, but he’s got things under control with tons of layers. Long hair, short hair — heck, even bald — Taylor looks good.

Some obvious omissions from this post are Robert Pattinson (too wild), David Beckham (too shaved), and Zac Efron (too High School Musical). Tell us which hot Hollywood hunk you think has the best hair.

You can find just about anything on a school backpack. Cute kids will see themselves coming and going with bags featuring iCarly, Team Jacob, Transformers, and Disney Princesses. A lot of these trendy packs are cute but useless. Some are too big (your preschooler can only bear so much), others are too small (your middle school kid needs enough room for books, her iPod/cell phone, etc….)

Some of the “pretty” ones are too delicate to withstand the daily wear and tear — set that pastel-pink pack on the floor of the bus just once and see what happens. And the newest thing — a clear, see-through backpack — is just too much temptation for little thieving classmates.

Jennifer Garner didn’t cave in to the fads. Violet sports a variety practical school backpacks. The bag shown here (at right) is just the right size for her. It doesn’t have a bunch of confusing zippers and pockets to frustrate the little preschooler. And it’s made of a durable, printed nylon that’s easy to wipe off.

Check out these smart choices online:

The LL Bean Original Book Pack (left) has been a customer favorite for 22 years. Designed for ages 7 and up, the Original Book Pack is great for young students carrying light-to-moderate loads.  Built from durably nylon, the pack has a padded back panel and shoulder straps. As an added bonus, the 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material makes your child visible at night. It’s available online in a variety of prints for just $27.95.

The Heart Backpack at Walmart (right), just $15, is a sturdy, good-looking backpack. It features just enough compartments and organizer pockets to meet the average elementary-schooler’s needs. The bag measures approximately 12″W x 18″H x 7″D, so it’ll hold those larger textbooks and projects. Buy it at your local Walmart or online (just 97 cents for shipping & handling!).

Target’s  Three Backpack (left) boasts a multicolored, floral/paisley pattern in your choice of pink, blue or purple. Young and old kids alike will appreciate the multiple compartments (including one that’s insulated) as well as interior accessory and cell phone pockets. Made of waterproof polyester, the Three Backpack is built tough for everyday use. It can be cleaned, just hand wash with mild detergent. Originally listed for $29.99, it’s now on sale for $23.99.

Okay, so my first-grader has a Hello, Kitty backpack… but it’s black, and it’s the right size for her, and it’s not too complicated, so I think it’s a smart choice. What famous character graces your kid’s backpack this year? Sponge Bob? Spiderman? Hannah Montana? Tell us!
