Headbands, Sequins, and Other Questionable Fashion Choices
I always have something to say about celebrities, including when their bad fashion behavior influences good people. In this article, I try to dissuade regular folk from adopting the heinous habits of the Hollywood paparazzi magnets… while also lightly making fun of the people who are just dying to be noticed, bad fashion or not.
A fashionista should avoid looking like an insect. We believe in UVB and UVA protection—absolutely. But, there is no need to cover up three-quarters of your face with sunglasses, like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson. Just because this is a trend (that just won’t go away, sadly), doesn’t mean it looks good on everyone (or anyone, for that matter)…
Some stars try to casually pull off that layered, just-thrown-together look, like Kirsten Dunst. But, let’s not kid ourselves. Those frumpy outfits are planned out, from their mussed hair to their mismatched ensembles. However, an actress going grunge or feigning nonchalance for the paps is one thing. You going out in various states of undress or mess is entirely another…
So many Hollywood “it” girls, like Mary-Kate Olsen, are guilty of channeling their inner flapper and flower child by sporting ropes around their noggins. But, no one should do this. Ever. Unless you’re in a stage production of Flashdance.
