How to Look Like Fergie

Pop sensation and style adventurer Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas has taken her fair share of fashion risks to achieve the right look. Some of Fergie's gambles flopped, but on the whole, the singer's style paid dividends as "fergalicious" is the new look to achieve.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Start off with rock-star chic, since that's the style truest to Fergie's roots, by mixing track jackets like those from Self Esteem with light-colored plaid pants that you'll find for a good price at Urban Outfitters. To dress up the funk a little, sport knee-high boots with a fiery red dress like the Revolver Los Angeles Cassidy dress that the singer's been caught in.
2. Turn on the juice with electrified bling that Fergie loves by taking a look at Electric Bling from the Electric Ladyland Empire Boutique in Arizona. If you don't want to shell out the money for the "simple but over the top" accessories do your best to find look-a-likes in department stores that are taking notice of the Electric Bling look.
3. Hire a stylist or find a friend with excellent rock-funk style sensibilities so you can have a trusted adviser whispering style secrets into your ear, as Fergie does from her stylist, Chris Psalia. Keep your style adviser with you at all times so you can get important advice when you least expect it, but most need it.
4. Make a big splash with a big, funky look, but tone it down to elegance after a while to keep audiences guessing, as Fergie has recently done with shopping excursions to uber-elegant fashion house Dolce & Gabbana in Milan and the demur Calvin Klein store in New York City. Look for more matted and darker tones in the elegant lines and match them with Jackie-O style sunglasses to keep your fergalicious rating high.
