Can ordinary working class people dress like their favorite celebrities? You bet, and what's more, you can dress like them every day of the week! You see, there are ways to dress like a celebrity without spending the money on an outfit that most celebrities do, there are some look-alikes that most people in your circle would never guess is not the real deal. Remember, your favorite celebrity probably has fashion consultants so that the way they dress is often not the result of their own tastes, but that of someone else.
Think about specific celebrities when the paparazzi sneak pictures of them and they look less than fashionable. The point is, celebrities do not always look their sharpest, and women do not go to best with their makeup on and wake up beautiful as they do on television. However, if you truly enjoy the way a certain celebrity dresses you can use their fashion (that no doubt is the result of a fashion consultant) and use it for yourself.
In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
One thing to keep in mind is body types are very different, so if your favorite celebrity is a size 6 and you are a size 10, the clothes you choose are going to look different on your body. In addition, even if you are the same size and height as the celebrity you admire, the clothes simply will not look the same because no two people have the exact same body type, except identical twins!
The best way to dress like a celebrity is to being studying different celebrity magazines and see just what celebrities is wearing. These magazines serve as a great guide to giving your fashion ideas, so that when you head to the stores, you have an idea of what you want to buy. If the celebrity is wearing an outfit that cost $5000 and you cannot afford it, then look for clothing that resembles how the clothes fit the celebrity. Remember, you can find clothing that has the same fit for much less money because what you are trying to capture is overlook rather than the actual clothing.
You will need to learn to accessorize your outfit; take a look in some of the magazines and you will quickly see how much celebrities use jewelry, hats, and scarves to accessorize their overall look. This can truly make or break the outfit; silver necklaces around the neck for instance, can make you look stunning. While your favorite celebrity may be wearing white gold, you can wear sterling silver and create a fabulous look.
My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
One of the most important aspects to dressing like a celebrity every day is to make sure your clothes fit you properly. One of the aspects to celebrity clothing is they are tailored and they fit them as if they were made especially for them. When your clothes fit correctly, it makes all the difference as to how it looks on you, if it is too tight, it look tacky and loose clothing can make you look bigger and hide all your curves (for women).
