Celebrity closets have always been a delight. And we say so because the idea that expensive outfits translate well into fashion and define a personal sense of style is obsolete. However, the new wave dictates that fashion is all about how you represent it. Whether it’s a casual outing or a promotional event or a red-carpet evening, B-town celebrities are perenially dressed to impress. Together with their fashion stylists, they have mastered the subtle art of pulling off styles that blend high-end luxury and evolving homegrown labels. The price tag of these celebrity-style shenanigans tells us all that’s out of reach and all that can someday be ours.
