I don’t often post on off-the-red-carpet celebrity fashion, because I don’t think directly emulating celebrities is what true style mavens do. Perhaps we borrow this or that from the photos in the tabloids (“Ooh, I love how she pinned her hair up in loose curls, I’m going to try it”), and are undeniably influenced by film, art and other visual media (who hasn’t gone hunting for an item after seeing it worn perfectly in a good flick?), but direct imitation is something best left to celeb rags like Life & Style.

But when I came across this photo of Lindsey Lohan on the Superficial, I couldn’t resist sharing it in the ever-tired-but-always-instructive “celebrity fashion victim” vain. This is an example of someone who is letting the trends wear her, instead of the other way around. Yes, large belts resting on the hips are in. Yes, loosely free flowing extra long tops are in. Yes, neaturals are in. Yes, skimmer flats are in. Leggings? Okay, maybe for some they are in (but ripped? are ripped jeans even in? didn’t think so). But when she combines them all together, in an obvious, boring, every other nineteen year old girl from Long Island is wearing it way, it reveals that she is behind the trends, rather than setting them.

Someone needs to tell her if you are going to wear the trends, wear them right. Or if not, just do whatever you feel a la barrymore.
