She said:

I style myself and I don’t always get it right, but that’s half the fun – you have to experiment to get your own look. It’s not worth getting upset about. Be yourself and wear something that embodies your own sense of style.”

When selecting her clothes the 24-year-old beauty often takes ideas from others.

She told more! magazine:

I am inspired by Marianne Faithfull, Vivienne Westwood and Anita Pallenberg. I also think Pixie Geldof has cute style. I like to have fun with fashion and make it my own. I like to try new shapes – sometimes it works, sometimes not, but it’s always fun trying, which is what fashion is all about!”

Tell me how you choose your outfits.

Red on the red carpet doesn’t look bad. Mariah Carey just proves that with her red assymetrical gown. Her earrings are spectacular!

Christina Hendricks was red hot wearing a magical red one-shoulder dress with golden earrings and bracelets.

Carey Mulligan rocked a sumptuous red frock with a beautiful flower brooch on the waist.

Blue color was especially popular that day. Lots of beautiful women chose blue dresses to sparkle on the red carpet. Tina Fey was one of those and she looked very charminig! Her dress was Ferragamo’s creation and looked perfect.

Gabourey Sidibe opted for a blue gown too. The girl looked happy being at the event. Speaking about her style I can’t say what I really think of it because all I can concentrate looking on her is her body… Sorry for that.

Jenna Fisher looked glamorous wearing a navy blue bustier dress. A glitzy clutch was perfect to match the attire.

Very feminine-looking was Christina Applegate who went for an airy Roberto Cavalli gown, a sparkling clutch and fabulous jewelry.

Vera Farmiga’s sky-blue dress looked great on the actress flattering her complexion wonderfully.

Samantha Harris went for a look of Grecian goddess in blue. The dress was nice but accessories were chosen wrongly.

The blue dress by Monique Lhuillier that Drew Barrymore sported to the Awards was a real disappointment for me. The second skirt ruined evrything by breaking the girl’s silhuette unflatteringly.

Julianna Margulies looked stunning in a floor length blue velvet Narciso Rodriguez halter dress.

Anna Paquin amazed everyone when she arrived to the event wearing a dress from (You wouldn’t believe it!!!) Alexander McQueen Spring-Summer 2010 futuristic sea-inspired collection. She looked glorious and was obviously the trendiest girl of the evening! By the way, she wore normal shoes, not those monster ones the designer created to go with dress.

Anna Kendrick looked super-pretty donning a purple floor-sweeping dress by Alberta Ferretti. I loved her bracelet!

Meryl Streep was gorgeous in her green-white-black gown. She was a perfect example of a woman who knows what heradvantages are!

Sandra Bullock looked nice in her black gown from Alexander McQueen. Those vivid blue neck details made her look very fresh and young.

Kate Hudson again opted for white. This time it was a strapless gown with a waist detail. Looked good!

The dress I really loved was Nicole Kidman’s one from Oscar de la Renta. The gown was a combination of bronze, red, and teal. And it was sequin embroidered.

Penelope Cruz wore a simple black dress that complemented her figure a lot.

Diane Kruger selected a yellow-toned dress with a long train and looked perfect in it. And what is more important is that was a real stand-out of blue-red-black group of ladies.

But now the situation has changed and her style is more and more often called as too ‘nutty’ to be nice. However, this is not what the actress will react to according to her interview cited by The Times of India.

She says she is what she wears and fashion for her is not just a way to attract attention, it’s rather a way to express her own personality. She believes that no one and nothing will bring her down by this negativity as she grew up with fashion and plans to grow old with her unique style.

I grew up with pictures of Marianne Faithful and Anita Pallenberg on my wall, they have always been my style. I am a weird replica of the 70s! But it is cool to see that it is back on trend.”

She was obviously making hints at a glorious comeback of headbands, hippie-inspired clothes, floral and geometric patterns, oldie cuts, etc.

The same interview reveals that actress considers the British to be more open-minded about fashion than the Americans. She says the Americans tend to categorize stars by the clothes they wear. In this sense she doesn’t belong to any of the categories as her look is a mix of more styles and as a result people in America label her as a fashion nutjob.

What is nice about fashion in Britain is that you get to be more eccentric and a bit more yourself. In the States they don’t like when you look too different. It is about experimenting by mixing and matching to develop your own look. You should try to wear something that embodies your sense of style. I think it is bad to wear head to toe all one look”.

Do you agree with Mischa?

Mischa says that she found inspiration for the hair accessories in her jet set lifestyle.

Mischa tells People,

Accessorizing is oddly my favorite part of dressing up.”

I’ve been working in the likes of India, Milan, Paris, London, Montreal, L.A, and NYC,” she explains. “My style has been somewhat boho chic, which I think is a result of having traveled so extensively throughout the course of the past year.”

The actress has been developing her headband range with designer Stacey Lapidus.

The line ranges from $50 to $200.

The headbands are made of silk and adorned with metallic beads, cute, colorful flowers, pearl & crystal cluster.

She talkes about her figure, about figure problems.

The 23-year-old actress, who is 5ft 9, slamed from a healthy size 12 to a size 6-8 in six months, showing off a very slimmer body shape while attending the shows at Paris Fashion Week in February 2009

She said:

I’m working on [getting confident] but I’ve grown so much in the past six months. I’ve grown immensely… It’s because I’ve been single.

After I broke up with a boyfriend last year [prior to Luke Pritchard from the Kooks], I felt empowered. I’ve forced myself to grow up – I really felt like it was time.

And nothing makes you grow like finding out that somebody or something isn’t good for you.’.

About cellulite:

Surely there are more important issues than if someone has cellulite?

And I don’t understand the point of people looking for bad things. Why bother? I know it’s human nature to want to pick on other people, but I find it a little shallow.”

About changing her body:

It’s human nature to be self-critical, but it’s possible to like the way you look. I’m happy now – I wouldn’t change my body, and I couldn’t anyway.”

The only way to be happy and be a more enjoyable person to be around is to embrace what you’ve got. Everyone has issues about their body, but I feel confident now. I’m healthy and happy.”

About surgery:

I’m not into surgery, or changing the way I look. I think it’s better to embrace what you have and play on your good points.”

Of course you already know that there was a great party in Dubai dedicated to the Opening of The Palm Resort. Plenty of famous stars attended the grand celebration.

The $1.5 million hotel brought many people to the opening night from all over the world, and many people wanted to see what all the hype was about.

Kylie Minogue, Charlize Theron, Lindsay Lohan, Marie Kate Olsen, Mischa Barton were among the guests.

The most wonderful attire was worn by Charlize Theron.

She looked just stunning in her white halter neck gown.

The Grecian dress by Roberto Cavalli was accessorized by nice golden jewelry: wide bracelets and terrific chandelier earrings and bronze clutch. The only thing that surprised me was the footwear – black flip flops. They seem to me too casual for such a glamorous look.

The next starlet to discuss here is Kylie Minogue.

The girl was wearing a pink and black floral chiffon dress with a flowing train. She looked very elegant and pretty feminine. Cute classic jewelry pieces created a more sophisticated look.

Mischa Barton has chosen a one-shouldered floral metallic gown, designed by Matthew Williamson. The shimmering fabric of her gown attracted a lot of attention to the actress.

A party girl, Lindsay Lohan, was dressed rather simply: little black dress by Temperley London with a bow at the waist and YSL pumps.

She looked very smart, with no excessive embellishments or something of that kind. Black jewelry set perfectly matched the gown. The main reason for her to come to the party was the fact her girlfriend, Sam Ronson, was deejaying.

Natalie Imbruglia appeared at the party in an olive green cocktail dress by Jasmine Di Milo.

The one-shouldered gown had a peplum at the waist. She selected black strappy sandals to finish the look. The dress was really nice.

Agyness Deyn’s gown was very-very sparkling. Lots of sequins on the dress created a more festive look. And I liked her necklace either.

Lily Allen in her electric blue strapless dress looked just gorgeous! Very nice!

And I just can’t pass over Marie Kate Olsen, who arrived to the Opening wearing a free-flowing ivory colored dress with a leaf pattern.

I have never understood the style of this woman. To me it seems saggy and over-sized, not nice at all. The only thing I liked in her attire was a gold globe necklace.

Thanks for your attention. I hope it was interesting.

Many starlets like Hillary Duff, Christina Aguilera, Fergie, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan love wearing them.

Linsay presented her own leggings collection in October >>

You can do that either. But remember that if leggings are worn incorrectly they look just ugly. Some women should avoid them as they can only accentuate their physical imperfections.

Leggings are not for everyone and before putting them on check whether you really look well wearing them or it’s better to get rid of the pair as soon as possible.

Here are some pieces of advice to take into account:

# 1 Consider your body shape. Remember that leggings are not pants or jeans, they are very tight-fitting and thus expose any extremes. If you are too big or too small you better not wear them.

Leggings will magnify both bulges and bones, making you appear fatter or unattractively skinnier. Even if you do have a nice frame, you have to be very careful about choosing your tops wisely. The fact that leggings look good on you cannot allow you to wear any kind of a blouse or tee.

#2 Wear tunics. Opting for a tunic is a good approach if you want to wear leggings. If you have slim thighs, you will want your tunic to hit mid-thigh length.

If you would like to show a little less leg, choose a tunic that reaches the knee area. Any tunic looks good with leggings as it covers your bum and hides all bulges you have along your hips and upper thighs.

When you choose to wear a monochromatic tunic your leggings may have some print. But avoid wearing both printed tunic and leggings, it looks ridiculous. And remember that black leggings can go with almost any outfit.

Do not, however, wear a short jacket with an equally short top underneath. It will not provide adequate coverage and you’ll end up showing more than you probably want to reveal. Never wear leggings with short pieces that cannot cover your behind, even if it is very attractive.

You may choose to wear a dress or a long T-shirt as well as a skirt, probably a mini. Wear a dress that is loose-fitting and hits somewhere between the mid-thigh and knee with leggings. If you choose a longer dress, opt for longer leggings.

#3 Choose right shoes. Almost any shoe can work with leggings: knee-high boots, cute flats, stilettos (for special occasions) or some types of sandals.

Flats create a laid-back, bohemian look. Heels can add a bit of glamour. Steer clear of flip-flops in cheap materials such as plastic, terrycloth, etc. You shouldn’t wear trainers except for working out and running about. Leggings are not the clothing item that can be worn with sneakers.

Well, many things to consider, but we hope you’ll go through it. Good luck!
