Starlet Secrets
Sure, celebrities always look glamorous, gorgeous, and perfectly chic -- they've got a whole team of stylists to help them get that way! But here's a secret: You can borrow their tricks and get the same pulled-together, stylish look on your own. Here's how:
1. Invest in undies. A thong that doesn't pinch and lies flat over lumpy areas, bikinis that look perfectly smooth under pants, and a seamless bra that's comfortable and flattering are the foundations for looking good.
2. Know what works. Ever notice how J.Lo's gowns, while beautifully different, often have a common thread (such as a low neckline)? That's because Ms. Lopez knows she looks great in low-cut styles and sticks with them. Find the style of pants or top that flatters your figure, then resolve to buy only that cut.
3. Know what doesn't work. Avoid styles that simply don't look great. For example, if you've got a bit of a belly, steer completely clear of pleated and zip-front pants.
4. Get altered. Celebrities don't wear clothes directly off the rack. Instead, their garments are tailored to fit perfectly. Give yourself some star treatment by having pants, skirts, and tops taken in or otherwise altered to flatter your shape.
5. Wear great shoes. Even the simplest outfit comes alive when you're wearing luxe, chic shoes.
More Tips
6. Watch for signs of wear. You'd never see Penelope Cruz stepping out in a dress with a falling hem, or Julianne Moore sporting a sweater with pills. Keep clothes in top condition by keeping up with repairs, and toss or donate when they begin to look threadbare.
7. Don't be a fashion victim. Yes, stars do sometimes fall prey to goofy, too-trendy looks (Christina Aguilera, anyone?). But the best dressed rely on more classic looks, peppered gently with trendy elements.
8. When in doubt, overdress. Looking inappropriately casual is terribly unchic. If you're unsure of what an event or environment calls for, err on the dressy side.
9. Size yourself up from all angles. A simple glance at your front view in a mirror isn't enough. Before leaving the house, check your reflection from behind, and fix any flaws (visible panty lines, lint and pet hair, worn-down heels).
10. Perfect your posture. One thing can bring your look down, even if you follow all the above steps: Slouchy, slumpy posture. Take a tip from Nicole Kidman and walk with your shoulders back and head held high. Good posture truly does make whatever you're wearing look better.
