Celebrity Fashion Muse is someone you look to for fashion inspiration. You can check out what this celebrity wears, take notes on how they wear different items, what colors look good on them, etc. It’s a way to keep your style current, while you learn about fashion.Taking fashion notes from a celebrity is also a good way to get a feel for how your body type may look in different types of clothing.

Why celebrities? These days, they have really amazing stylists, and are basically walking fashion editorials going to Starbucks. And because these famous people pay a professional to dress them, and have access to all the latest designer clothes, observing them is a great way to find out about the newest trends & pieces before they hit stores.

How To Pick A Celebrity Fashion Muse

So how do you go about choosing a celeb to be your fashion inspiration of the moment? Here are some points to consider when you go about finding the perfect one.

• Look for someone who looks like you. In terms of hair color, height, etc., look for someone that you think you resemble. Don’t expect to find a perfect clone of yourself in Hollywood, but find someone that you identify with.
• Find a celeb with a similar body type. This isn’t a must, but really helps when it comes to figuring out what types of clothes will look best on you.
• Look for a similar sense of personal style. Another bonus. If you can find a celeb who’s personal style resembles your own, that’s another great way to get inspiration and exposure to new pieces that you may like.

Popular Celebrity Fashion Muses

Kim Kardashian is a great choice for a fashion muse if you’re petite, tan, and have a classy but sexy sense of style. Kim is always wearing cute blazers, tall high heels, designer sunglasses, and carrying an expensive bag. I personally love Kim’s style and count her as one of my biggest fashion inspirations.

Victoria Beckham’s style is very trendy but also classic at the same time. You can always catch her wearing a designer label, and probably carrying a Birkin bag! Some of her outfits are a little questionable, and can lean toward tacky, but you have to hand it to her for always being willing to take a fashion risk!

 Vanessa Hudgen has such a cute style and always seems to look great and effortless. She’s also a bit of a style mixer - dressing Bohemian, fabulous one day and effortlessly glamorous the next. Of course, most effortless looks in real life take many hours to put together… Either way, Vanessa is an adorable choice for a fashion muse.
