Celebrity Influence

Rihanna is a bona fide fashion icon and diva songstress; her fashion, style, and music leave a strong impact that critics and consumers just cant stop talking about. I get down to her music all the time and LOVE her personal style. Rihanna is so confident in every look, she has mastered how to contrast tough girl street with high class fashion.Her fashion sense is modern, sexy and innovative, always wowww-ing. She stays current, creates the trends a year ahead, and is a style evolutionist. In 2011, when you start seeing women with red in the hair, either bright red or red tones, Rihanna is responsible for the fire. She is front row priority at fashion shows and just released her own fragrance 'Rebel Fleur'. Rihanna's red carpet looks are always styled perfectly, shout out to her stylist.

Whether critics or people are saying good or bad, she doesn't care.. this bad ass, 23 year old rockstar is making millions. She has been signed with Def Jam for years and Jay-Z bumped her up to Roc Nation for her own 'Rihanna Entertainment' (sourced: Allhiphop.com). She'll never forget where she started as the Barbados cutie singing.... "SOS please someone help meee", she started the music game sweet and young.What made Rihanna official was the 2007 hit 'Umbrella' with Jay-Z rapping on it. Rapping with Jay-Z was a pretty big honor but  after the song sat at the top of the charts for a whole summer, Rihanna became the face of Gucci, Loreal, and tons of fashion labels want her in their clothes. Princess RiRi has pulled off the little girl gone bad look for a minute but she has grown up now. Her music is her own with songs like "Rude Boy", "G4L", "Love the Way You Lie" and "Whats My Name?". Rihanna's music does get ovaaa freaky occasionally, And it's fair for me to say that now, with the new single 'S&M' just hitting the radio. Sometimes I wonder if Rihanna is having the last laugh and playing a joke on us with her freaky lyrics while being a young girl's role model. Girls love Rihanna because they can connect with her through fashion and music. Rihanna's fashion and music style evolves with time, she is a true artist who has impacted culture and will continue to make good and inspire.



Blake Lively is like the American dream girl meets Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City.Many people know Blake from the hit show Gossip Girl but I've never seen that show for the sole reason of it was too popular for me (I can be such a pain in the ass,I've been told like 6 times that I would love the fashion on the show, so really I'm only hurting myself). I really like this chick for her fashion, she pulls off a variety of looks. I really gained respect for her when I read in a Vogue magazine article that she does NOT have a stylist. I love how she plays with color and really knows flattering n fresh silhouettes. 

Karl Lagerfeld signed Blake Lively as the new 2011 beauty of Chanel. She is the official ambassador for Chanel's new Mademoiselle handbag collection, WWD reports.  He must be inspired by her effortless and fun, sexy yet classy looks that she rocks at award shows and in fashion editorials. She is no am-mature ,overnight, new-b to Chanel, Blake has been living the dream and rocking Chanel to red carpets for a few years now. She exudes the sophistication and elegance of Chanel with amazing colors.Blake Lively, you got the fashion thing going on, start your own line girl. We know you have the funding. $


Camilla Belle is a fresh fashion icon whose style is consistently chic, put-together and sophisticated. Her red carpet style is striking and confident while exuding elegance. Ill add more about her when I'm feeling it or probs after I see 'From Prada to Nada' which Camilla is starring in, the movie hit theaters January 2011.
