  i do have celebrity muses although i don’t go crazy looking or stalking them. i just pay attention to what they wear because i love their personal style…. come to think of it, i don’t actually really copy them at all, so i’m not sure if they are called muses!! :)

  one particular muse of mine is a japanese singer/actress that i adore both for her individuality and ability to carry of whatever she wants to wear. i feel sometimes i’m actually designing for both myself and her, and that really helps my designs.

  I’m Asian so it’s usually hard for me to find a celebrity fashion muse in Hollywood. I usually have to look for one in the Japanese/Chinese/Korean entertainment industry–and for someone who’s not totally thin, someone with curves. I consider Rainie Yang (http://yeinjee.com/asianpop/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/chinese-rainie-yang.jpg) to be one of my favorite fashion muse!

  I would say for hair/makeup mine would be Halle Berry because her skin color and hair color are almost exact matches to mine and she always looks glowing and flawless…something I try to emulate! My clothing style is too all over the place to have one muse…I’d say Halle Berry again, Rachel Bilson, Sienna Miller, and way too many others to name!

  Rachel Bilson, Mk&A, & Nicole Richie are all great style muses for me. I’m super short so its inspiring to see fellow petite girls pull off maxi dresses & wide leg jeans. I love seeing the creative combinations they come up with.

  Lindsay Lohan
  Mary-Kate Olsen
  Nicole Richie (she’s too thin though!)
  Katie Holmes

  But I’m looking for someone like me; someone petite, dark hair/blue eyes, fair skinned… and not too girly. Suggestions?

  hey tess-i think Alexis Bledel might be an interesting actress to look into–although you don’t see her much these days.

  I love looking for inspiration among celebrities all around the globe.

  I love your blog. keep it up! =]

• Shannon wrote on June 23, 2008 at 10:15 pm:

  Thanks for making this site! i like it :) Here are my fashion muses:
  -Alexis Bledel (we have the same basic coloring and body shape (except she has blue eyes, i have brown, and i’m considerably flatter chested.)
  -Katie Holmes
  -Kate Hudson

  Lindsey Lohan is definitely one of my top celebrity style muses (especially in Georgia Rule). I love how she can look relaxed and glamorous in leggings. I also LOVE her dresses. I’m a huge dress person so I pull a lot of my style inspiration from her. As long as I don’t use her rehab stint as inspiration I think I’ll be fine!

  hey over here in england mine defo has to be Alexa Chung, i love her style and shes so down to earth :)

• Diana wrote on June 24, 2008 at 9:35 am:

  i love lindsay lohan. adore her. could you do one about her pleaseeee?

• Caramelfrapp wrote on June 24, 2008 at 10:11 am:

  I tend to look at Rachel Bilson for fashion inspiration, as like me she’s quite young, brunette, petite and fairly slim but also pear-shaped. I also like to look to Kristen Stewart, I admire her laid-back, casual look, though I can’t wear everything she does as she’s a lot skinnier and more athletic-looking than me. I’d really appreciate anyone who could suggest some young, brunette, petite pear-shaped women for me to look to?

• Lila wrote on June 24, 2008 at 5:14 pm:

  I really love Rachel Bilson’s style too, I like the fact that we both have the same skin tone, hair colour and eye colour, but I can’t pull off everything she wears because I’m taller and curvier than her. Bright colours might look good on you when you’re petite, but otherwise you’ll look awkward. :(

  My other favorite is Vanessa Hudgens, but the same here again, she’s so petite too. Kate Moss has awesome style, but she has a quite different colour palette to match. Then I like Alexis Bledel, Selena Gomez and Margharita Missoni. But it’s quite hard to get candids from Alexis and Margharita.

  i second the lohan request!! :)

  does anyone have any suggestions for big bust, olive skin, brunette, not too skinny but not chunky??

• Alena wrote on June 25, 2008 at 12:44 pm:

  I love how lauren conrad, rachel bilson and leighton meester/blair waldorf dress. I like the girly and more simple style.

  For makeup, I really like how Ashley Olsen has hers done. If you’re ever doing anything on makeup, can you maybe look into product or ways to get hers? I especially like how her eyes are done. I can’t find much online though.

  Mine have always been Ashley, Rachel and now you have given me a new one…Eva.

  Sarah Jessica Parker :)

• Melia wrote on June 27, 2008 at 1:11 am:

  I actually love Zooey Deschanel’s hippy vibe!

• Jada wrote on June 27, 2008 at 4:44 pm:

  i LOVE Rihanna and beyonce…they are my fashion muses!

• Mahima wrote on June 28, 2008 at 11:37 am:

  i resemble nelly furtado a little- skin color and jawline, so i like to have her as an inspiration for makeup.. as for my clothings- i like to mix and match, and I’m pretty small but very thin, so i still haven’t found my fashion muse yet!

  From the list given above, i would probably opt for Rachel and Victoria Beckham, and also audrina patridge from the hills! :D

• Milonie wrote on July 1, 2008 at 12:56 pm:

  Well my fashion muses would have to be Jessica Simpson.Her style is so trendy and she wears brands I can afford.I’m more of a Tee shirt,designer jeans, and a pair of heels kind of girl.LOL I get most of my clothes from this cool website called Emoda.com.They have the best designer jeans like True Reilgion,which is one of Jessica favorite brands,and the cutest tees to mix.If you love fashion like I do you should check it out.

  i definitely take from lauren conrads & rachel bilsons taste but my body type is more like hayden pannetierre although i’m 4 or so inches taller we have the same build so i check out what she wears as well.

• Thea wrote on July 6, 2008 at 7:35 pm:

  I actually like Rachel Bilson’s style…you could say that she’s my fashion muse…But, I have my own personal style…

• Hannie wrote on July 7, 2008 at 1:43 am:

  The bright blue dress and bright red tee is something i would wear to school. And I’m in lurve with the belt!

• Cory wrote on July 9, 2008 at 12:10 am:

  I love Rachel Bilson’s style. It’s very similar to my own. M.I.A. looks amazing, and definitely inspiring.

  I have the same problem as Stacy - I’m Asian, and sadly, there are a lack of us in Hollywood. It’s very hard to find anyone with the same skin tone as I have, since I’m darker than most Asian celebrities (they’re all fair, fair, fair). So when it comes to finding someone who looks like me, I’m stuck. Oh well.

• anna maria wrote on July 9, 2008 at 8:56 am:

  Jessica Alba- comfy, chic and classic!!

  I also love Lucy Liu and China Chow- I want their hair and dresses!!

• Jessica wrote on July 9, 2008 at 9:21 pm:

  I love this article, my celebrity fashion muse is Lauren Conrad. I love her because like you said she wears lots of basic stuff but still looks fashionable and I love that about her. I also get inspirations from Eva Longoria because I work at Express and I need to have a style that compliments my store and the shoes that are in and Eva Longoria never seems to fail me on the shoe part. My other inspirations are of course Nicole Richie and Rachel Bilson everytime I feel a little boho. :)
  I used to love Mischa Barton, but anytime I need info on how to wear flats I use her as my inspiration since she knows how to rock flats. And I have to give you some kudos for what you said, “When you look for inspiration in celebrity outfits, always add your own individual twist to their look.” It is so true, and that is what I do. Great article!

• Florencia wrote on July 11, 2008 at 10:01 pm:

  Really good article! I think that my celebrity fashion muse is Blake Lively although we don’t have the same hair color we have similar sense of personal style.

  XOXO

• Briana wrote on July 12, 2008 at 1:32 pm:

  Wow, I’m surprised at all the Lohan requests. I didn’t realize she had such a following in the fashion world. I’ll definitely make sure to talk about her next!

  Melia - I am with you on Zooey - she’s really cute and has nice indie vibe going.

  Jada - You’re so right about Rihanna! She dresses really well and always looks high-fashion in a really wearable way.

  Hannie - The Ting Ting’s rock! I’m just getting into their music lately - they are going to be the next big thing for sure :)

  I’m a french girl but my muses are in the USA : Taylor Momsen for her girly clothes & Vanessa Hudgens

• Julia wrote on July 23, 2008 at 10:27 pm:

  i’d say leighton meester, but i don’t know much about her own style. m fashion muse is her character Blair Waldorf, i just love how she’s always looking her best!
  we have the same hair and her body is very similar to mine, only i’m a bit smaller and i have bigger boobs :p

• Hilary wrote on August 15, 2008 at 1:45 pm:

  Rachel Bilson, Leighton Meester and Lauren Gottlieb of so You Think You Can Dance 3 fame are my fashion muses. Rachel’s boho/classic look with Leighton’s clean cut style mixed with Lauren’s sharpe edge = awesome.
