How to Look Like Britney Spears

Britney Spears is a princess of pop, no matter what bad publicity might come her way. She has her own personal style, whether she's going casual out in public or she's dressed up for a red carpet event. This singer's look is anything but "Toxic."

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Grow your hair long. Britney's mane extends a few inches past her shoulders. If you don't have long hair, go to a salon in your area and get extensions put in by a professional, or buy a wig. Dye your hair platinum blond or dark blond with lighter blond highlights. Get your hair cut in long layers that will give your style texture and volume.

2. Style your hair. Blow dry it on a low setting and work your fingers through it as you dry it. Add waves with a large barreled curling iron. Use your fingers to work hair gel or hair spray into your hair, letting it stay loose and tousled. For a simpler look, Spears likes to pull her hair into a messy ponytail.

3. Wear jeans, a t-shirt or a simple camisole with flip flops for a more casual style. Also get some simple, cotton sundresses for warmer days and accent them with a big belt. Buy some jeans and miniskirts.

4. Dress up in a silk or satin mini-tube dress in a bright color. Spears also tends to wear animal prints and funky patterns. Look for a designer like Betsey Johnson. If you can't afford that, try one of the funky dresses from a low-end retailer, such as Forever 21 (where Spears has been known to shop). Top off your dress with a simple blazer in black or navy blue.

5. Apply concealer under your eyes and over any blemishes, and use a big brush to apply bronzer all over your face. Use a wine or cream blush and apply it to the apples of your cheeks, blending it along the cheekbone. Put on shimmery eyeshadow, line your eyes with blue eyeliner and apply black or brown mascara. Britney Spears also favors a simple look. To pull that off, just put on some lip gloss and nothing else.

6. Accessorize with big hoop earrings, bangles on your wrists and a silver or gold metallic handbag, either a hobo or clutch. Wear a fedora or scarf over your hair and big aviator sunglasses.

7. Slip on some big leather boots, Britney tends to favor those over anything else these days. She also wears a lot of flip-flops and wedge sandals, so stock up on those and you'll be set.
