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.

#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.

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?

Cell 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.

BlackBerry Curve

Zac Efron, Kristen Stewart and Emma Watson are just a few of many celebrities who favor the BlackBerry Curve (left), developed by Research In Motion.

Apple iPhone

The iPhone (left) is a super-fast smartphone with 3G capability.

Celebrities spotted using the iPhone include Selena Gomez, Jake T. Austin, Clay Aiken and Kourtney Kardashian.

Nokia E71

Singing Sensation Alicia Keyes
loves her Nokia.

Pictured at right is the second-generation 24K-gold Nokia E71 by Continental Phones.

Motorola Razr V3 PNK

Pink accessories are hard to beat, but this Razr comes in other colors for those who are less daring.

Musician Anahi has been spotted with the Pink Razr V3 (shown at left).

NYC Peach T-Mobile Sidekick II

No one does glitz quite like Paris Hilton.

Take a fashion cue from her with the sparkling Sidekick II (left).

LG Xenon

Cuties Hayden Panettiere and Demi Lovato are fashion icons for teens and tweens.

They both use the LG Xenon, picture here in blue.

Cell phones are so handy for keeping track of your kids, but they can cause problems, too. What are your school’s guidelines regarding cell phone use?

You can always find the newest fashion trends in People magazine — like the studded white vests shown here on Beyonce, Mandy Moore, and Demi Lovato.

A cute vest can be worn in a variety of ways — layered over a tee, paired with a flouncy skirt, or on its own like a button-front tank top.

Want to copy the look? Your special girl can find one at Justice (formerly Limited Too). The white Peace and Paint Splatter vest has a deep v-neck and 3-button closure to give your gal “just the right amount of attitude!”

The cotton/spandex vest for girls is machine washable. Regularly priced $39.50, the adorable vest is on sale now for $15.99. Save even more with Justice’s 40% off coupon. Just enter code 773 at checkout to receive your discount — your final price is just $9.59!

There’s no doubt your daughter will look adorable in a white studded vest, but would you wear this fashion trend?

E! Online recently named darling little Suri Cruise “Most Likely to Become a Highly Criticized But Still Respected Fashion Icon.” Whether she’s shopping with Katie or touring Tokyo, Suri is always sporting designer dresses and her signature Mary Janes. These fun shoes are no longer of the black, patent, dress shoe variety — now you can find them in just about any color and construction.

There are Mary Janes for babies, preschoolers, tweens, and young adults. Here are some of the new styles you can expect to see this season:

The sneaker styling gives the Arizona Savannah Canvas Mary Janes a casual look, but the wedge makes them more grown-up and fashionable. The trendy brown and pink color combo is made even more fun with polka dots. You can find these at JC Penney stores for about $30.

Even if your baby isn’t walking yet, she’ll look fashionable in a pair of Stride Rite Gabby Walker shoes. Available in pink, white, or tan, Gabby features a leather upper, shiny flower details, and a butterfly accent. Macy’s sells these Mary Janes for about $48.

Mary Janes don’t have to be girlie! Check out these Chuck Taylor All-Star Deluxe Mary Janes (also in green). You can find these hip sneaker-shoes at major shoe stores or at Converse online. Retail price is $60, but we’ve seen them as low as $18!

Rock it out with adorable Camp Rock Mary Janes. The white canvas shoes feature gemstone accents and a 1″ wedge heel. Can’t you just picture Demi Lovato wearing these? Buy ‘em for under $12 at Target stores nationwide.

Remember when Keds were flat, white canvas sneakers with laces? Not any more! The Craze Mary Jane Sweets are just one example of the cool kids shoes Keds makes. These skimmer-style shoes are colorful and casual and come in a variety of patterns, including camo, safari, and geo print. The Craze Mary Janes are available at Zappos for under $40.

Toddlers can show off their new walking talents in Morgan & Milo Sparkle Mary Janes. The stretchy fabric boasts glitter embellishments, but the round rubber toe keeps it casual. A non-skid bottom helps new walkers safely strut their stuff. Check out the turquoise, hot pink, sweet pink, and bronze varieties (just $40) at Shoes.com.

Mary Janes aren’t just for kids… Do you have a pair?
