In an effort to help our readers avoid making mistakes in creating their own style, we are reviewing the looks
of some of today’s celebrities as they go out and about on the red carpet (and elsewhere). We discuss what works for them, and where
they might have made better choices for hair, clothes, make-up and jewelry and why.
Jennifer Finnigan here is shown attending a fundraising party for Toys for Tots, sponsored by Motorola. She looks stylish and smart in
her sweater/skirt/boots. The look brings to mind a brisk stroll across a campus commons while colorful leaves swirl in the air. The
look is lovely, classy and fits in many situations. More ...
Carmen Rasmussen of American Idol fame. Shown here in her appearance for the taping of American Idol Rewind at
the Spider Club in Hollywood, Carmen is wearing a tailored blouse in electric blue satin and a black a-line skirt with a wide belt and
strappy high heeled shoes. Her hair is a mane of silky, golden waves in a softly layered style and she is sporting full make-up. More ...
Cameron Diaz (Charlie’s Angels, Shrek, The Holiday) as she appears on the red carpet at a gala at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. She’s wearing a dark, richly pink gown of layered, overlapping bands, which form a cascade of ruffling and tiers. The
look is accented by bright and bold turquoise jewelry (necklace and earrings). Ms. Diaz’s hair is worn up, and she is in full make-up. More ...
Cate Blanchett is known all over the world for her delicate and classic beauty and seems to be the first name to come to mind when
moviemakers need someone “regal” or “noble”. (She has now portrayed Queen Elizabeth I twice in films and was cast as the Elf Queen Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings.)
Shown in photos taken at the premiere of “Babel” in Los Angeles, Cate is once again simply stunning. More ...
Kirsten Dunst in her appearance at the New York Premiere for Spiderman 3. The look is most kindly described as “retro glam” with her
silver tunic dress and black tights, black pumps and no-frills hair. Let’s take the look a step at a time and see what can be said
about it, and where it can be improved. More ...
Garcelle Beauvais at the LA premiere of “Disturbia” at the Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Ms. Beauvais shows off a “completely
casual” look in jeans and a sheer silk blouse over a satin-finished chemise top. Her hair is worn down in long soft waves with lots of
body. More ...
Tori Spelling seen at her 2004 appearance as part of the WBs Winter Press Tour party in Hollywood. Her look is
easily described as “classy casual” with a black silk blouse over her faded denims, a look that is literally tied-together by the
addition of the black silk scarf at the waist. Her hair is a prominent feature of the look, styled in a fall of loose, sexy curls.

Erika Christensen is seen here at the premiere of “The Perfect Score” at the Cinerama Theatre in Hollywood. The look for the evening is
both glamorous and elegant as Erika walks the red carpet in a soft blue tea-length gown. Her hair is simple and lovely, as is her
make-up and accessories.

stints on “NYPD Blue”, and “American Dreams”.
