What is it about celebrities and the fashion they choose to display on the canvases of their bodies? They are so fearless. Is that why the public is so enthralled with them? Today, the outfits match from hats to hand bags to heels. Tomorrow, each of those accessories clash. Yesterday, they wore all animal prints. Then, their accessory was an animal. Where do they come up with these styles and where do they get the confidence to go out in public looking like that?

One thing that is cool about celebrities and their fashion is that they are not afraid to wear whatever they feel like wearing, even if it is shocking, revealing, attention-grabbing, or just plain weird. At one time, women in Hollywood carried teeny tiny clutches that were barely big enough to carry a cell phone, a pack of gum, or one lipstick. Then, the next time you saw these same celebrities, their handbag was large enough to carry a school-aged child. Everything is extreme.

Celebrity fashion extremes are a good thing because they help the public learn the difference between a cool trend to try and the latest fashion frenzy that should just be left alone. Now, people know that animal prints can be attractive, but wearing a dress that looks like a swan might be going a bit too far. Celebrities have taught people that extremely high stilettos are hot but when a celebrity actually falls off her own shoes, those shoes are too high. Showing a little cleavage can be very sexy, but when you can see what style of bikini wax someone prefers, it is too low.

As fun as it is to be shocked by what celebrities are wearing, you have to admit that there is a place for red-carpet fashions in society.
