fashion advice for real people
Glamour Magazine has recently released their top ten favorite female celebrity fashionistas. Right at the top of the list as number one is Kate Moss.

Said Jo Elvin, editor of Glamour:
Kate’s back with a vengeance. Her maverick approach to fashion is an inspiration and shows us all how to be a little more daring and experimental.
As posted on the Damn I’m Cute blog, the rest of the list went as follows:
• Sienna Miller
• Scarlett Johansson
• Rachael Bilson
• Jennifer Aniston
• Alexa Chung
• Reese Witherspoon
• Jessica Alba
• Keira Knightley
• Victoria Beckham
Each of these women is well deserving of her place on the list, although there are a few that I think should have been included as well, like Angelina Jolie, Heidi Klum and Charlize Theron.
I’m always commenting on the celebrity women who are fashion icons, and it is about time that I point out a few of the men in style.

I have to start off with Brad Pitt. This is one man that no one can deny is a true style icon. He looks good no matter what he’s wearing, whether it’s ripped jeans or a classy Armani suit.
The first guy to ever be voted Sexiest Man Alive twice by People magazine, Brad Pitt definitely has something to boast about. He has gained the adoration of men and women alike, bringing to life a range of different styles.
He prefers Dior and Ralph Lauren suits for special occasions but we usually see him out and about with lovely lady Angelina Jolie dressed down in t-shirts and faded jeans.

Although he is still pretty young, over the past few years Ashton Kutcher has definitely been considered as one of the leading male fashion icons.
Once a model, Ashton is no stranger to style, and he always makes sure to have fun with his clothes, which is really important. He is definitely one of the chameleons of celebrity male fashion, and one to watch out for when it comes to discovering new and funky trends.
Of course, no matter what he wears Ashton will still be incredibly stylish, as he has the hottest accessory of all - Demi Moore.

One of my favorites to make this list is Pharrell Williams. He always has a much more relaxed look than most celebs, but really gives casual, hip, sporty looks a whole new name.
A skater at heart, Pharrell shows this off with color hoodies with bold blaring stripes and knee length skater shorts.
To dress up an outfit he favors a dress shirt and tie with comfortable jeans, to keep it laid back but stylized. His clothing line, Billionaire Boys Club, shows off his unique and sexy style and allows you to wear it as your own.

Will Smith has definitely got it going on. Not only is he incredibly talented and successful with his music and movie careers, but he’s also a seriously dedicated father and husband.
He always looks confident and pulled together, and is one of the very few men who can pull off the turtleneck thing, no doubt due to his impeccable physique.
This is one man that looks great in a suit, with his height and shoulders filling it out to perfection. He is always very particular about his look and you will never see him in anything less than designer duds like Gucci and Armani.

Come on you knew it, he had to make the list. A real sharp dressed man, Justin Timberlake knows how to work it in just about anything.
From cowboy hats and worn jeans to slim fitting black three piece suits with a bit of scruff on his baby face, he can pull anything off.
As a budding fashion designer it is no wonder he has begun to show off his tasteful style, and launched in November 2005, the William Rast collection is now available.

Check out any “Most Fashionable” list and at the top of the list you will find this man. He is a style icon, looking suave and debonair in some of the best fitting tuxedos.
Listed as one of the best dressed male celebrities of all time, Clooney fits right into the category with names like Robert Redford, Sean Connery and Fred Astaire.
He is always well groomed which just adds on more sex appeal and allure to his outfits, and keeps him looking rugged and manly but with a sweet boyish charm.
Although I am not one to follow the trends of celebrities necessarily, there are a few that I like to keep my eye on. Not because they are imitating what everyone else is wearing at the time in Hollywood, but rather because they have their own unique, funky flair.
Angelina Jolie definitely fits into this category, at least for me, and in my opinion she is not only one of the most beautiful women in the world but one with the best style as well.
Ok, so we are not all going to be able to copy that hot leather number she wore in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but there are many of her stylish fashions that we can take ideas from, and yet keep our own style and individuality as well.
One of the things I love most about Angelina is how she can completely transform, from devilish vixen to ladylike and feminine and she suits both styles to absolute perfection. I know, I know, she could be wearing a paper bag and make it look vogue, but it doesn’t take a fashion pro to look at this woman and see that she has true style.
One of Jolie’s most memorable red carpet moments was in 2007 during one of her first public appearances with beau Brad Pitt. It was at the Golden Globes that she showed up in an elegant and demure strapless St. John couture gown, and looked absolutely stunning.
You can find variations of this dress for cheap at boutiques around the world, in the event that you are an average person like myself who cannot afford to pay more for a dress than you did for your mortgage.
Remember to keep your accessories light, as you rarely ever see Angelina with a load of jewelry on her arms or other pieces distracting from her outfit. Focus on the staple of your outfit and then use a few pieces to accent it, such as a knit shrug or a small diamond bracelet.
Today Angelina is considered as being a Hollywood glamour icon to many, myself included, and more than anything it is her sincerity and confidence that gives her this undeniable, unavoidable allure and beauty.
If you want to get a little more Angelina Jolie-ish yourself, here are a few tips that will help. First and foremost though, you need to feel confident because this will shine through and make anything you wear stand out.
Think of long, lean fashions that will show off your feminine curves, because these are the types of clothes that Angelina tends to stick to. Her clothes are always womanly and pretty but without ever crossing the line of matronly.
She wears a lot of caramel and gold colored clothing, which is no wonder because these hues go so well with her golden bronze skin. Finish off with a simple black dress and cute heels, an outfit she is infamous for, and a pair of big dark shades and you will have a few pieces in your wardrobe that will have you as sexy and saucy as Angelina herself and ready to hit the town.
So the Junos were last night, and I was really thrilled for it, considering that Canada is my home country and I am proud that talent like Feist, Michael Buble, Triumph, and Finger Eleven all hail from the Great White North.
More than anything I was excited to see what everyone was wearing, and there were some really great and not so great outfits.
Okay, okay, so the Canadian award shows do not exactly stand up to the Hollywood-esque Grammys, Tonys, and Academy Awards of the United States, but I was really not worried about the glitz and glamor of it.

On a personal note I favor the Canadian award shows in a way because everyone is so laid back and relaxed - one of the members from Wintersleep, the band that celebrated their Juno win for New Group of the Year, actually even brought a coffee on stage with him to accept the award. I have to say I loved it.
Now on to the outfits. The star of the night, Feist, who I think was more than deserving of her five awards, looked absolutely adorable.
She switched into a few different outfits throughout the night, but each showed her unique, funky eclectic style and I thought they all looked perfect on her.
Avril Lavigne stuck to her usual punk-pop look, dressed in a black dress with white polka dots and coordinated shoes. She was more dressed up than I’ve seen her before, but without going too far out of her element.

So maybe it wasn’t the most elegant ensemble but she still looked super cute, and you could tell she was having a lot of fun and not taking any of it too seriously, hamming it up for the camera and carrying around her little streamer stick.
I have to add in Mr. Michael Buble here who looked as handsome as ever at the awards show last night. Not only does he have one of the most beautiful voices I have heard since Fred Astaire but he also dresses to the max.
For the most part the styles were pretty dull, with the majority of presenters and performers wearing basic black and no one really standing out.
Overall it was still a good show, one that I really enjoyed watching. It was laid back and relaxed, good ole Canada style.
