Cassie Is The "Style Icon" Of The Week

 

I personally think Cassie's style has come a way. She has been seen rocking the latest high fashion  pieces from designers such as Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, and Gucci. She obviously rocks the heck out of her mini dresses and skirts on the red carpet but she also has sidewalk chic style. When she's spotted out and about with casual wear on she is still fierce. Her shoe game...crazy. Cassie's style is effortless and chic.  She will be one to watch out for in '09. Check out some of the outfits I put together below that resemble Cassie's personal style. Click on the images to find out where to buy the pieces from.

 

 

Rihanna is the "Style Icon" of 2008!

Uber fashionista Rihanna has had yet another outstanding year in fashion. I already honored her earlier this year with "Style Icon of the Week" but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that she has this fashion thing on lock. I don't care whether she is dressed up or down she is always "Picture Perfect." Ri Ri has the "Rocker Chic" look down to a tee, she plays with colors, patterns and she mixes different elements together. Her stylist Lysa Cooper says, 'There's nothing she won't do or try once. She has no fear of being criticized. She's creative, youthful, risky...and fun. We can't forget fun!' With all that being said this is why I choose Rihanna to be the "Style Icon" of the year because she sets trends instead of follow them. Also Ri Ri's uninhibited at times avant guarde fashion sense is what separates her from the rest, as well as her inner and outer beauty. Check out some styling creations I put together that resemble this Barbadian beauty's style below. Click on the images below to find out where to buy the pieces from.

Alicia Keys Is The 'Style Icon' Of The Week

The jury has spoken and miss Alicia Keys was chosen as the 'Style Icon' of the week. Folks from the U.S to Madrid, Spain all the way to Agadir, Morocco voted for Miss Keys. I must say this was a good choice because she has definitely been through a much needed style transformation. She has ditched the tomboy attire for a look fitted for a sophisticated woman thanks to her stylist Wouri Vice. Alicia is a fan of colored denim, form fitting dresses and the classic floor length flowing gowns. I also love the fact that she isn't afraid to play with color.  Her favorite designers consist of Sergio Rossi, Giorgio Armani, and when she is in budget mode she opts for Diesel and Academiks. Below I put together some looks to help you achieve Alicia's style. Click on images to find out where to purchase these pieces from.

Vanessa & Angela Simmons are the "Style Icons" of the Week

59% of you voted for Angela and Vanessa Simmons. The Simmons sisters went toe to toe with Beyonce and Solange Knowles in the Sibling Rivalry edition of "Who's Got Style", Angela and Vanessa won. I decided to name them "Style Icons " because they have transformed into bonified fashionistas over the years. Vanessa's style is more classic, old Hollywood glamour. Angela's style is girly chic and edgy at the same time. These lovely ladies have their own shoes, clothing and handbag line "Pastry." They eventually want to evolve the line into a more grown up brand. The Simmons sisters will also be staring in their own MTV reality show spin-off of 'Run's House' called 'Daddy's Girls,' the show will follow their "lives in L.A. and what's going on with us," since making the bi-coastal move from The Big Apple. Click on the images below to immulate styles of Angela and Vanessa's. Let me know what you think about them.

Lauren Conrad Is The "Style Icon" Of The Week

Lauren Conrad has morphed into a certified fashion icon over the past two years. I would describe her style as simple casual chic. Her main fashion choices include short loose fitting dresses, gowns, a variety of cute blue jeans, flip flops, Mary Jane shoes, cardigan sweaters, peep-toe shoes and flats. Her head swag consist of scarfs or headbands. Not only can she afford the likes of some of her favorite designers (Chanel and Diane von Furstenberg to name a few) she has her own line simply titled Lauren Conrad. Here is what Lauren has to say about her new stylistic flair, "I used to be more casual, now I like dressing up."

Rihanna Is The "Style Icon" Of The Week/Get Some Of Her Looks

Rihanna deserves alot of props for her constantly revamped style thanks to her incredible stylist Mariel Haenn. Rihanna credits Dsquared,Dolce & Gabbana, Zac Posen, Herve Leger and Stella McCartney as some of her must haves. Ri Ri went from the all out bad girl who started the hot trend Rocker Chic. Which made it alright for woman to give glamour an edge. She also brought back some looks inspired by the 80's ( Dookey Gold Chains,Bamboo Earings ect.). Now she's rocking neon colors and 70's inspired pieces. I love how she is so effortlessly fashionable. You know she couldn't have a style transformation without doing something different to her hair.  She has had many hair transformations: Bangs, long flowing blond hair weave extensions, highlights, a bob, crimps, and now the beautiful short do. Rihanna is definitely a trend setter and in her own lane that makes her a style icon. Below I put together some styling ideas for those who want to try to creat Rihanna's look.
