Here are a couple of celebs dressed in 1980s-inspired wear.
Here's Kate Beckinsale. She looked great a few years back in Pearl Harbor - so why is she hiding behind this really dated 1980s setup? It's all black and white - nothing wrong with that in itself, but a splash of color can't hurt. And the styling - from oversized white shoes to wide belt to tapered-leg pants - is really dated. I know that the 1980s fashions are back, but this is a tad too faithful to the era; the better way to do it would be to re-interpret the decade in a more modern way, with a modern era article of clothing or accessory.
And the lack of makeup makes her look old and hideous too.
And here is Lindsay Lohan, again. She definitely has a penchant for footless tights. (And so does Sienna Miller - though she also likes footed ones.) This time, Lindsay has chosen to go knee-length for a 1980s biker look, and has covered herself in a long top again. I like the shoes and the bag, but the makeup and hair - no thanks.
I remember the last time footless tights and long tops were popular - in my teens. I wanted to wear them then (though couldn't), and this time around, I'll spend a few hours in Seattle shopping for the look. I would make sure that the long top at least looks like a dress (if it's not one outright) though. I just don't like wearing a VPL-revealing pair of footless tights and covering them only with a top.
