Celeb Fashion

While everyone was paying attention to the actual runway shows taking place as a part of Paris fashion week, I found myself more distracted by the stylish celebs who were attending the shows. One pair particularly caught my eye time after time; bringing me to my very first post on celeb fashion.

The celebrity hotness award goes to:


Kanye West and fiance' Alexis Phifer





Whether dressed up



Or toned down







Kanye and Alexis are always dressed to impress. It's no wonder Kanye wasn't admitted to the Balenciaga show, with all the attention he was garnering, I wouldn't want him to still my shine either.

Kanye is the king of accesorizing; never shying away from using scarves, bowties, and jackets to add that extra touch to an outfit. Alexis keeps her look a lot more simple, choosing basic pieces and often accesorizing with only a handbag and any diva's favorite... a pair of sunglasses.

For a Kanye-esque look, try these pieces:






Chevron striped scarf - $24
D Collection Sgt. Pepper jacket - $128 orig. on sale or $78
Spiewalk Barton flight jacket - $119
Squares Aviators - $18
*all available at urbanoutfitters.com


For Alexis' look, try these:






Sabina leather convertible - $245 (urbanoutfitters.com)
Cynthia Steffe colorblock dress - $265 (shopbop.com)
American Apparel black lame' leggings - $44 (americanapparel.net)
Vince leather motorcycle jacket - $775 (shopbop.com)
Christian Dior sunglasses - $275 (neimanmarcus.com)

I agree that this was the couple to watch off the runway. Kenya shows African American men that it is okay to enhance a look by adding a scarf. More young men should develop there signature style.
