You have to give it to the Scot. She cleans up quite nicely. Can’t wait until her next performance on that talent show that isn’t American Idol. Weigh in indies, love the look or hate it?

So we haven’t done a ‘before they had stylists’ in a while, were looking for the perfect celeb for the next one, and I believe it’s been well worth the wait.

Above is an image of recent Pete, and I must admit that he looks mighty HOT. I’m loving the clean face and goatie, and since we are a fashion blog after all, I have to mention his all black outfit, which looks quite stylish. Guess married life/being a daddy is doing good things for Pete. Keep up the good look, and leave the guyliner to Marilyn Manson.

Our friend Marc Jacobs went through some interesting phases style wise. He started off, as the pre-hipster trend, wearing thick framed glasses and adorable graphic tees and v-necks. Next came his preppy frat-boy phase, with a little snip snip of the hair, lewd phrased tees and baggy cargo shorts. Then Jacobs got in touch with his feminine side and starting sporting kilts every now and then. Finally, Jacobs has come to his senses and has been dressing in classic, perfectly tailored tuxedos and sporting the always trendy bow-tie. If you ask me, I like the old, dorky, long haired Marc best…let’s hope Marc by Marc will jump back to it’s roots sometime soon…I’ve had enough of the bright colored, label stamped frocks. 

The dude who played Carlton used to be a breakdancing marvel. I use the term marvel loosely as “I marvel the fact that he was hired after producing this shitastic infomercial.” Unfortunately his dancing evolved to this…

Alyson Hannigan has come a long way since her American Pie band geek days. Her stylist has taken the belly shirts and white denim, trading them in for delicate chiffon and adorable designer maternity wear. And I am loving her hair these days too- much more natural than the blazing red bob.

This Gossip Girl is a natural beauty, but her killer style was something learned. Every time she has hit the red carpet lately, I’ve been wondering who’s been putting Szohr’s looks together. Whoever it is, they are doing an amazing job; she quickly turning into one of today’s most popular style stars.

Never in my life did I expect to have the same outfit as Anna Wintour! It appears to me that Wintour’s before photo is how I dressed in kindergarten…same haircut too! But hey, even the Queen of fashion makes mistakes! We’re all jealous of Wintour’s dream job and dream wardrobe, so why not take a gander at all of her fashion faux pas to make ourselves feel better:

Looking at Jessica Alba before she had a stylist, it’s no wonder why the current bombshell had never been kissed! From a flipped-out do to bangs and curls and from drawstring mom jeans to a flirty zip-dress, we’ve got quite a celebrity transformation on our hands! 

Thanks for the photos Fabulousness!

Dear Robert Pattinson,

You owe you’re stylist a pretty hefty Christmas bonus this coming holiday season! From the dorky-looking “Bobby” to the sexy, bed-head “Robert,” you sure have come a long way. It’s about time you retired the plaid coat with the teddy-bear lined collar and boring grey tee and opted for a slim fitted pinstripe blazer and a raw denim button down. And the hair…thank your stylist for making you look like the ideal man any woman would want to wake up next to!

Sincerely,

The Swooning Women of the World

Thanks for the photo Celebuzz!

I have always loved Claire Danes from the start. From a grunge-loving teen in My So-Called Life to a love-distressed damsel in Romeo and Juliet, she always completely submerges herself in her roles for a fantastic job well done. But her style has not always been so fabulous. The short, dirty-blonde hair, weird prints and shiny leather jackets was not working out. A stylist out there deserves a huge pat on the back because she is looking fantastic these days. She really has turned into a style star!

Well now I’m just convinced that you can put anyone on Gossip Girl and they will be transformed into a fashionable person. Take for example Serena van der Woodsen’s new “main squeeze” on the show, John Patrick Amedori. Besides no one knowing who the hell this kid is, he looked like someone I knew in high school who wore the same clothes four times a week. Now that he’s on Gossip Girl he at least looks like he knows what he’s doing. Of course this is the first image I have seen of him from the show, he’s off to a good start. By the way I hate seeing images from the filming of the show, it just makes me want to see the episode now!

Thanks Just Jared for the pics!

This heavily talked about celeb (mainly due to her public breakup with boyfriend of 6 months, Devendra Banhart), Natalie Portman has come a long way both with her career and style. From awkward teenager with a shaved head (although it was for a movie role) to a teenage role model (having graduated from Harward with a psych degree) to a bonafide style icon.

Thank God for stylists or else Christina Applegate would have gone from Married With Children to Single With a Restraining Order. Sex hair is always appreciated but not when paired with torn mom jeans and endangered animals. Give her 20 years and a lucrative career and now the cancer-free, Emmy Award winner is looking glamourous as ever!

Papa may not preach, but apparently he knows how to shell out money for a stylist. A girl who goes from looking like Rosanne Bar to the white English version of Rihanna deserves some praise, or atleast her stylist does. Kelly has been doing well for herself lately, and as evil spirited as we are precieved to be, Fashion Indie loves how she’s been looking.

Thanks to Celebslam and Just Jared for the pictures.

A few months back I heard all this gossip about a Miley Cyrus online dance battle and I had to check it out. Adam Sevani and Jon Cho (the men behind Step Up 2: The Streets) composed this amazing series of dance battles challenging Miley and her friend Amanda, along with promoting their movie Step Up 2. Due my obsession with movies, and this insanely addicting dance video, I know I had to check this movie out. Adam Sevani one of the main characters is totally rad, and he has found himself in the spotlight because of it. The kid must have realized he had to pull himself together if he was going to be semi-famous, beause he definately looks better. Probably one of the best dressed B-boy dance kids I have ever seen. Check out his awesome dance video below, and try not to have the desire to break dance when you’re done. Daniel was going crazy.

Drew Barrymore had always been adorable, but her fashion sense was never great throughout the 90s and early 21^st century. That has all changed recently…she’s been looking fabulous. I’m not sure if she found better stylist or came to her own senses, but it’s working marvelously!

I guess if you are going to be cast in a show about Beverly Hills you have to actually look like you live there. There is no way that Shenae Grimes has made enough money from 90210 already to have hired a stylist, so she either has one on lease for now, or she made more money than we thought be a bitchy teen on Degrassi. Either way she looks good now and definitely got her act together.

p.s. Has anyone seen the new 90210 yet? Is it worth my time?
