From the infamous Carrie Bradshaw to Scarlet O’Hara, check out the list to see if your favorites made the cut.

The Top 10 Fictional Fashion Icons in Film & Lit

Celebs Travel in Style

Normally when a person travels, they throw on some sweats, maybe a hat, and a hoodie so they can be comfortable; plus all the good stuff is packed away. But celebs know they will be snapped left and right by paparazzi, so yes, they even rock stilettos while strutting through LAX and JFK. Check out these A-listers, who know how to stay stylish in casual wear.

It’s all about layering. Sweaters over tees, a leather jacket over the sweater, a big, chunky scarf over the jacket. Shades over the eyes. A hat over the hair. I guess you could call it “disguising oneself” but why bother, we know who you are! Layering is a great way to be stay trendy.

Cropped leather jackets are a big trend with traveling celebs. So are chunky scarves, big, black sunglasses, hats, and ripped jeans.

Beyonce rocks leather from head to toe while Jay-Z keeps it to a minimum, pairing a leather jacket with a hoodie, checkered scarf, and sweats. I like the dressed up look (leather jacket) paired with casual (hoodie). Try it out!

Dakota sticks to the airport trend of cropped leather jacket, baggy white tee, scarf, and jeans tucked into untied boots.

David Beckham sports a light green hooded leather jacket that combines the hoodie/jacket look in just one layer over a crisp white tee.

Kanye always stylin in a red hoodie, shades, black jacket jeans n hot studded kicks.

Justin Beiber follows in the footsteps of airport trendy celebs with some pops of color and prints, in a striped hoodie, black leather jacket, hat, baggy black jeans and how yellow kicks.

Kim Kardash favors the cropped leather jacket/chunky scarf look as well but throws on sexy, thigh high boots over distressed denim.

Thanks Fergie for switching it up with a cool fedora, beautiful long coat, big purse, and some white denim and stilettos.

Victoria dressed down? Never. She’s seen here in big black shades, a beautiful trench coat, baring her legs with ankle boots.

Rihanna wears a really chunky scarf that looks so cozy, with a baggy sweater, black pea coat, denim and laced up combat boots following in Dakota Fanning’s footsteps.

Going somewhere for spring break? Don’t forget your leather jackets, big scarves, and shades! Oh, and a hoodie for layering.

Rose Petals for Boobs?

You know it’s bad when there’s gathered fabric that resembles rose petals right on your boobs and you STILL look flat as a pancake.

And why would you want people staring at your twins all night?

I must say, if that material wasn’t there, the dress would have been gorgeous on her. Because honestly, I like the dress, the mauve shade, and the trumpet  style gown. Also, the red lips just don’t go with this look. Nude lips or a light pink would have suited this better.

A big trend I noticed on the Red Carpet at the 2010 Oscars was nude/gray dresses with super pale skin and platinum blonde hair.

I’m down with the Anne Hathaway look: dark brown locks with red lips and pale skin, but with light hair, skin, and a nude dress…you’re almost a ghost.

Amanda Seyfried, is your hair GRAY?

You’re such a pretty girl, why must you make yourself look 40 years older than you really are? You’re hair can’t match your dress! This does nothing for her. Moving on…

Demi, girl, you look HOT! 47? There’s no way you’re nearing 50.

She looks absolutely gorgeous in this bronze dress, with a lil tan herself, and the sexy piece of hair in front of her face. Ashton, you’re a lucky man! She looks younger now than she did back in the day with short hair, (i.e., Ghost).

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are closer in age than Demi and Ashton but look how style can totally make it seem otherwise. You really can control how old or young you look!

This dress is so unflattering to her shape, it makes her look heavy and way older than she is. Not even a 60 something year old would wear this dress, see below.

I definitely want to look like this at 64. The whole ensemble is age appropriate but still has a young and sexy feel to it. Helen Mirren deserves a lot of credit for looking so good.

Another cougar! Jane Seymour is just radiant in this dress..hot hot hot! Her hair, everything..A+ in my book.

Miley looks STUNNING but for some reason I think she also is trying to look older. Ah well, still looks great. Love her hair and earrings.

The Queen..honestly, doesn’t she always look fabulous? She never fails to amaze me. I have nothing bad to say. =)

As for the men, they all looked great. I don’t believe any of them went for anything too crazy or wild. The only difference between any of them was whether they wore a bowtie or a tie. Haha. The bowtie trend is definitely big right now. We’ll use Jake Gyllenhaal to represent the men.

Handsome in his Burberry tuxedo!

Let’s throw Zac Efron in there too, for the “tie” boys. Plus, I love his messy, spiky hair.

Men That Are Slick

The gentlemen look is back! Male celebrities everywhere are sporting the sexy, slicked back look on the red carpet, and you can too. It’s super classy and looks good on every guy. It also works with almost any hair length. If your hair is longer in the front or longer on top like a fo-hawk, just slick it back and it will blend in with the rest of your hair. Or if it’s extra long on top, it will create some volume like Chace Crawford’s. This is a great look for dressing up or a night on the town.

Noteworthy Looks at the 2010 SAG Awards

Fashion Feen’s best dressed at the 2010 SAG Awards Red Carpet goes to:

Diane Kruger.

She looks stunning. I think this is the only time I’ve seen a mustard shade of yellow work and look elegant as ever. I love the one shoulder..it’s sexy yet super classy. I love the texture of the dress around the waist area. It’s so flattering and stream-lined on her, not to mention her pose is just perfect. Swept back hair and red lips…Beautiful!

Runner Ups:

Christina Applegate. Great deep V-neck, silvery, powder blue like the color of the clouds..she just sparkles in this dress. Beautiful texture and wrap from the neckline to the waist. The frilly cut at the bottom of the dress adds a nice girly touch.

Jennifer Carpenter. Super foxy volume of hair adds an edge to this short, crisp white, sleeved dress. Long sleeved dresses are hot, and create the perfect balance and permission to show off her mile long legs. Pointed shoulders create a high fashion look- I can so see Rihanna in this dress.

Meryll Streep. I love this dress! I love how she’s sporting a long sleeved floor-length dress with an exotic print, and it’s not overboard at all! The subtle shades of green and blue paired with the bright green balance it out as well as the deep V which shows a slither of skin. Cinched at the waist with a wide, black cut-out belt pulls this look together!

And the best dressed for the male category goes to:

Justin Timberlake. My fave male celeb of all time hands down. He has become so stylish as he matured. I love how he threw a blue shirt with some texture, (I won’t call them ruffles in case he gets offended lol), underneath this sexy black suit to make his eyes REALLY pop. It’s the perfect shade of blue too, not too bright. Bringin’ bow-ties back as well. Strikingly handsome overall! =)

Runner up:

Adam Lambert. This suit is so gorgeous, he really looks like a million bucks in it. His hair is wild but hey, that’s Adam and it’s his way of showing off his personal style while still looking pulled together and classy, well done. And you know what? He looks really sexy with the guy liner. Better than Pete Wentz. Sorry Pete.

Carrie Underwood, Spiderwoman? at People’s Choice Awards

I automatically think of a spider web when I see this dress. Here’s Carrie at the People’s Choice Awards 2010.

I think there’s too much extra lacy fabric around what could potentially be, a classy, strapless, lacy dress. And the extra lace by her chest looks like it would hurt  if she were to learn forward ever so slightly.  

I think if we cut off all that extra flowly lace fabric that flared out from the dress, and kept it simple, it might work. I do love the shoes though. But that lace, ugh, it resembles a cage, or a net, and at the bottom where it flares out, it looks like a table cloth. Ugh! It ruins the dress. Too much!

What do you think?

The Bandage Dress

Kim Kardashian is a big fan of the bandage dress as are many other hot celebs rockin’ them on the red carpet. These dresses are ultra sexy! They are form fitting and stretchy, and they look like bandages that wrap around your body. Bebe has a lot of sexy ones in many colors.
