How to Dress Like Stars

1. Look SlimmerSince stars are known for being slim, and we can't magically make weight disappear, the first step is to make yourself look slimmer. There really are several ways to do it, without a lot of effort, and it begins with what you're wearing. Corsets, long pants that are almost too long, long shirts, dark colors, spanx and high heels all make you look slimmer. Spanx and corsets make you look slimmer through sheer force. Long pants, long shirts, heels and good posture all make you look taller and longer, which make you look leaner. We've all heard it: dark colors make you look slimmer, and it's the truth. If you want bright colors, use accessories or bright shirts that peak out.

2. Keep Up With the StylesStyles change frequently, but by having a few base pieces, like a nice pair of long jeans, a nice pair of pants and several nice shirts and skirts, you can mix and match them with more modern pieces that will give your wardrobe a modern feel that will make it look like what's worn by the stars. For instance, floral patterns and bright colors are very popular right now, as are multiple layer dresses and skirts. That means, that if you purchase a dress, shirt or skirt that has a floral pattern, you can wear that, which will make it look like what the stars are wearing. Off the shoulder dresses, or dresses with only one shoulder are very popular as well. So, a dress like that, that fits nicely and has a floral pattern will help you dress like the stars.

3. AccessorizeAccessories also change frequently, though not as regularly or dramatically as other clothing, and they are another large point of dressing like the celebrities. Large accessories are very popular and by wearing large necklaces, large rings, bracelets and earrings, you will soon be matching the stars style. Large purses and belts are also an easy way to dress like the stars.

4. Look AroundThe best way to know what the stars are wearing is to watch them. If you watch celebrity TV shows, you'll have a good idea for what is being worn. Then, you can introduce those into your wardrobe. If you can't tell, you can ask. Chances are that if they work in a clothing store, they can tell you what the stars are wearing, how they're wearing it and give you some pointers.

Tips & Warnings

• While you're in line at the grocery store or waiting at the doctors or anytime you see a fashion magazine like Elle or Vogue or a shopping magazine like Lucky, take the time to peruse the pages and see what's on the stars and what you like that they're wearing. This might give you ideas of what to look for while you're on a shopping spree for yourself.

• You won't look the same as the stars in the clothes, and you shouldn't expect yourself to... they've all been air-brushed for the magazines and perfected for television.
