Most Well-Dressed Celebrities of 2013 So Far

Fashion magazines and websites usually compile their lists of the best dressed celebrities for the year from award shows. Since the major award season is almost over, we already have a good idea on who dresses the best.

The red carpet is where real style is born. Everything in a red carpet outfit has to match and balance out beautifully. There are the shoes, tie, suit, dress, jewelry, hair style and lastly the bag to consider. Also body shape because not all dresses suit an hourglass figure. As for color, if it complements your skin tone, then you should be all set to dazzle the paparazzi.

Celebrities such as Katy Perry at this year Grammy’s worked the classic Hollywood look well. Her mint colored gown from Gucci really suited her body shape because it accentuated her waist and balanced out her long sleeves with a nice trail. Long and flowing, Katy Perry looked willowy but elegant because her long and curly hair suited the flow of the dress.

As for accessories, she did not go overboard and instead continued to hone her balancing act towards the dress. If wearing something light shaded, always go for a darker shade in the same color.

As for dressing up like this famous singer, you can find mint colored dresses all over because the color is becoming extremely popular. If you have a tight hugging waist like Katy Perry, invest in a large necklace to complement the look, you can find many matching necklaces at a clearance sale online. As for earrings, studs always go well with large necklaces.

Speaking of blue tinted colors, sapphire blue is also very popular on the red carpet at the moment. At the BAFTA awards, up and coming actress, Jessica Chastain from the film Zero Dark Thirty looked smashing in her strapless sapphire blue gown by designer Roland Mouret. This nominated actress for an academy award also sported other bold colors at the Golden Globes with sea foam and the Screen Actors Guild Awards with show stopping red.

Bold colors suit Jessica’s pearl like complexion and definitely makes her stand out from the crowd. But since she has chosen bold colors, she cannot over accessorize too much. If the color is striking, you are better going for a much softer and asymmetrical look. For instance, this sapphire blue gown looks more stylish when paired up with matching studs in comparison to a matching choker.

If Jessica wore a necklace, her outfit would look too busy and then she would have to style her hair up. And since the dress is designed with more layers at the neck line, little accessory is needed. With long and flowing gowns, hair styles do have to match the dress more instead of the shoes because you cannot see them.

So next time you are wearing a nice and long dress, pick a hair style that suits its fit and texture. Curls always go well with soft textiles and figure hugging dresses. Straight hair, however suits a tougher texture and layered dress.

Celebrities to Keep an Eye on

Every year is an exciting one within the Entertainment world. Figuring out who you should be watching and keeping track of can be difficult. Here are some of the most exciting celebrities to keep your eye on in 2013.

Jennifer Aniston

Even if you’re “Team Jolie” Anniston is someone to keep an eye on. There are few actresses who can pull of smart, edgy and be the charming girl next door type all at the same time. Anniston is one of them. Over the last few years she’s gone from supporting actress to lead actress and has since added the titles of Director and Producer to her resume. She was given a star on the Walk of Fame in 2012 and has a number of projects in the queue for 2013. Maybe this year she’ll find her “Blind Side.”

Ed Sheeran

He may only be 22, but Ed Sheeran is definitely making a name for himself in the music scene. He started out as an independent musician playing gigs almost every day until his indie album caught the attention Asylum/Atlantic Records. Now he’s signed with the label and was named The British Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2012. He’s a great inspiration for people in the indie scene who have dreams of going mainstream.

Kim Kardashian

Yes, we know that she’s Kanye’s Baby Mama but we’re hoping that beyond watching her adjust to new motherhood 2013 will be the year we finally figure out why, exactly, she’s famous.

Louis CK

His sitcom has been wildly successful for several seasons; he’s won Emmys and has one of the most successful comedy specials of all time (thanks to his selling it independently). With his sitcom, Louie, on hiatus this season nobody is quite sure what he has up his sleeve for 2013 but we’re willing to bet that it is going to be phenomenal.

Katie Holmes

She’s finally free of Tom Cruise and hopefully that means she can start taking on film and television projects again. We’re hoping that her career really takes off now that the two have split. It happened for Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Mimi Rogers (all former or near-former Mrs. Cruises), there’s no reason to believe it won’t happen for the most memorable cast member of Dawson’s Creek. We can’t wait to see what projects she takes on this year!

Justin Timberlake

The mega pop-star took his turn in a Clint Eastwood vehicle in 2012 and has more in store for 2013. In addition to the traditional entertainment projects, Timberlake is also spearheading the MySpace revival effort. The site is due to reopen hopefully soon and if Timberlake can bring it back to life he’ll be able to add “Internet Mogul” to his resume which will make him a…quadruple threat? We’ve lost track of how many threats he is.

Justin Bieber

Isn’t every year a year to keep an eye on Justin Bieber?

2013 is certainly going to be an interesting year—not just for these celebrities but for those of us who are keeping track of them!

The Influence Celebrity Endorsements Have on Teenagers

If your teen spends a lot of time on the Internet or watching TV, he may be more susceptible to celebrity endorsements than others. While that hasn’t always been a good thing (remember all the celebrity smoking endorsements in the 70s?), there are a lot more celebs today who are promoting positive habits. It is important to teach your teen how to discern between fact and opinion and celebrity endorsements are a great place to start.

Become Aware of Your Teen’s Famous Role Models

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, teens spend an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day using entertainment media (TV, music, social media, etc.) That’s 53 hours per week — much longer than they spend at school. So, it’s not surprising that teens are particularly susceptible to believing in celebrity endorsements.

You should check out who your teen follows on Twitter, watch his favorite TV shows, and listen to the music on his top playlist. You’ll start to get a better understanding of who your teen considers to be his role models and the influence they have on his life. After that, it won’t be hard to find out the products those celebrities endorse. Just run a quick Internet search.

Talk with Your Teen about the Influence of Celebrity Endorsements

After you’ve researched your teen’s favorite celebs, sit down with him and discuss what those celebs are promoting. Depending on the teen, the involvement that starting this dialogue requires can sometimes breed rebellion, so tread lightly; however, it shows you’re interested his life and want him to make the best decisions for himself. For instance, if your teen is in need of face wash and one of his favorite celebs endorses a particular acne treatment, you should lay out the options and help him look at the ingredients.

Having good and bad examples of celebrity endorsements is important. If a celeb your teen loves is promoting something you think is inappropriate, consider it a way to continue the conversation. Explain how your teen needs to look past the celebrity persona and decipher the facts. It shows your teen that these celebrities can either show him the way to something that will better himself or lead him down the wrong path. It is up to him to make an informed decision.

Positive Celebrity Endorsements to Share with Your Teen

Internet and TV are so teeming with positive celebrity endorsements that you probably see them every day and might not even realize it. Surprising positive role models Cheech and Chong endorse Fiber One, touting the importance of fiber in a healthy diet. Another healthful food endorser is recent Olympics champ Gabby Douglas, who promotes Corn Flakes. Ellen DeGeneres endorses the popular health drink Vitamin Water and important causes such as women’s rights. These popular celebrities are great examples to show your teen of how celebrity endorsement is used for the better.

The use of popular celebrities to promote products has been around for decades. These endorsements are readily available tools to teach your teen to look deeper into a product adorned with a picture of his favorite celebrity and decide if it is going to beneficial for him. He will learn to make his own informed decisions, a skill that will help him succeed in the future.
