Celebrity Redo: Lea Michele

Filed under Celebrity Redo
Lea Michele is adorable, but her outfit is plain and frumpy. For the redo, I gleefully swapped out the slouchy sweater for a long cocoon cardigan and paired it with flared trousers and heels (to create a long, lean look). What do you think?

Celebrity Redo: Megan Fox

I know Megan Fox can look good wearing a paper bag but sometimes her frumpiness just bores me. So, I decided to redo her outfit but kept within her simple look. The ginger shawl kicks it up a notch with a much needed pop of color, and the grey wedges give the outfit a sexy edge. What do you think of Megan’s outfit or style in general?

Joy Bryant shines in this funky, urban cowgirl look, but I decided to simplify the outfit for the everyday gal (I swapped out the cowboy boots for some lace ups, and opted for a braided belt). What do you think of Joy’s look?

Celebrity Redo: AnnaLynne McCord

AnnaLynne McCord looks cute but should have paid heed to Coco Chanel’s sage advice, “When accessorizing, always take off the last thing you put on.” In this case it’s double trouble. Her outfit would have been fine without the scarf and necklace because the tie neck blouse was enough. She would of been better served by adding some earrings or bangles. So I basically redid the outfit without the unnecessary accessories and added some skinny jeans (below) for those of you who want to downplay the outfit a bit. Hope you like it!

Celebrity Redo: Kim Kardashian

It’s not that I don’t like Kim’s outfit but I do think the pieces are bit off. The vest is a bit short and the belt on the shirt just doesn’t flatter her fabulous curvy body. So, I replaced the vest with one that falls at the hips and ties at the waist to help elongate the torso and show off her tiny waist. What do you think of Kim’s outfit?

Celebrity Redo: Jessica Alba

I usually love Jessica’s outfits, but this one just doesn’t do anything for her. The gray skirt paired with that purplish cardigan just makes her look washed out (particularly against her blonde hair, which is a tad too light in my opinion). So, I swapped out the gray skirt for a vintage-looking tapestry pocket skirt and picked a cardigan with a darker shade. What do you think of Jessica’s outfit (or hair for that matter)?

Charlize was clearly trying to go for the laid-back red carpet look,but it just didn’t work (a bit sloppy and definitely unflattering). For the redo, I kept her in black but used a strapless sexy cocktail dress with a pair of funky cuffed platforms for some edge. What do you think Of Chalize’s outfit?

Celebrity Redo: Natalie Portman

I love Natalie Portman’s style and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with any of the pieces. But the ensemble as a whole makes her look frumpy. I put together an outfit that stays true to her look but incorporates pieces that add some spunk and sex appeal. Hope you like it! What do you think of Natalie’s look?

Celebrity Redo: Drew Barrymore

What is up with Drew’s closet lately? Yes, she’s gorgeous and has great style, but it seems like her outfits have gone from cool and quirky to down right silly. While this outfit isn’t terrible, it’s still a “off.” The skinny jeans are overly rolled up and the shirt is totally shapeless. I kept within her outfit’s “theme” but swapped out her button down for a more flattering scoop neckline that ties at the side. I also kept her skinny jeans but threw in some fierce white platform sandals. Hope you like it! What do you think of Drew’s outfit?

Celebrity Redo: Halle Berry

The gorgeous Halle Berry out for dinner but looking like she’s ready for a play-date at the park. It’s a cute outfit; I just wish she snazzed it up a bit for the dinner environment. So, I pretty much scrapped the entire outfit and re-dressed her in linen slacks, a white tank and a wrap top. I kept her jewelry at a minimum but couldn’t help myself and added Alex and Ani bracelets that are well worth the investment. What do you think of Halle’s look?
