Taylor Momsen- Our New Style Crush March 26, 2009
Posted by Laura in : Fashion , add a comment
You may have noticed that I have a bit of a thing for Gossip Girl, in fact it’s bordering on obsession at times, but since it’s part of my fabulous job to report on all the fashion for the show, I think my obsession is totally justified.
Anyways, in my quest to report all the latest fashion gossip from the show, It’s been hard not to take notice of 15-year-old Taylor Momsen, who has been rocking the punk look now since late last year.
Considering we’re waaay behind here in the UK, Taylor’s new look only got its debut last week on the show, but she herself has been sporting her grown up ‘bangs’ for ages and has become a total style hottie in the U.S.
We noticed her new look when she was out and about of course, but it was seeing her on screen as Jenny that really made us sit up and take notice, particularly in last night’s episode, There Might Be Blood.
While I really hated her racoon made-up eyes, I’m loving the new Jenny’s wardrobe. Punky, quirky and rebellious- all the things that Jenny will become over the next few episodes (trust me, I have insider knowledge!)
Taylor’s style off-screen has continued to amaze me too, as she looks so much older than her 15 years, which can at times be a tad disturbing, but most of the time it just makes me wish I’d had a stylist at that age. I could of avoided the chavvy tracksuits, pulled back hair and orange face for starters…
Anyway, we earmarked Taylor as a one to watch from the very beginning when she was all sweetness and light on the show, and now she’s growing up, she may well eclipse Leighton (Blair) and Blake (Serena) as the new Style Queen of the Upper East Side.
Watch this space…

Good lord, that Victoria Beckham likes to take her clothes off a lot doesn’t she?! Her latest underwear ad for Armani sees her leaning back over a bed in just a bra, thong and high-heels. We’re more distracted by her spaced out look personally, as opposed to the raunchiness of her pose!
I Heart Edward Cullen. No honestly, I do. Who cares if he’s a fictional character from a film?! The point is, many ladies are lusting after this man at the moment, and to further prove my point about his popularity, T-shirts have been created baring that very phrase- and sold out. Now if only they could make clothes saying ‘I Heart Robert Pattinson’…
If there’s one person you don’t want to snub it’s got to be Barack Obama but Simon Cowell did just that, rejecting a dinner invitation from the new President. Simon told Jay Leno he was too busy to meet up with Obama to which a shocked Jay replied, “And what were you doing – whitening your teeth? Fixing your hair?”
Can Michael Jackson’s new tour get any crazier? Well it seems not as the singer plans to ride an elephant on stage and lead some panthers on gold chains. Does Michael realise we are in the real world and not Never Never Land. Wonder what the RSPCA will have to say about this!
Jade Goody hasn’t even been buried and already there is a film about the life of the reality star in the pipeline. I mean for crying out loud isn’t it time everyone just left her and her family alone? It’s not five minutes since everyone was calling her a racist how two-faced!
It seems the UK has gone dog movie mad as Marley and Me, which stars Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, remains at the top of the UK box office.

It seems that Lindsay Lohan has finally listened to all the people who have slated her movies of late, she is thinking of giving up acting for a modelling career. Hooray at last this mediocre actress is getting off the big screen and let’s face it no one is going to miss her.
It seems that teenage favourite Zac Efron will not be footloosing it up any time soon as he has left the remake of the 1984 classic. It seems that the musical is getting a bit repetative for the young star his girlie fans will be haertbroken…bless!
Spandau Ballet are jumping on the old reunion bandwagon as they announced plans to get back together. Gold anyone?
We’ll admit, we didn’t take his fashion intentions seriously in the beginning, but now it seems that Kanye West is going all out to prove us wrong. First he goes and attends every FROW imaginable and now he appears to be forming a budding friendship with Christopher Kane. Good god, he may actually be serious about this industry after all!
My my that Marc Jacobs moves fast! Barely a week after announcing his engagement to boyfriend, Lorenzo Martone, apparently the fashion designer extraordinaire is planning to adopt a baby girl. How very chic.
You’ve got to love Fergie and her little rants. This time she’s slammed celebrity fashion designers for pricing their clothing ranges too high, and putting them out of reach from fans. To be fair she has a bit of a point, considering her collection starts at around £50 a pop, Victoria Beckham would be well advised to take notice!
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so Kate Moss must be seriosuly chuffed that Cameron Diaz wants to copy her hairstyle. Yes, you heard right, the Charlie’s Angels star wants to look like our very own Kate. I can’t think for the life of me why that is, surely it should be the other way around?!

Fergie
Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie has been speaking out about other celebrity ‘designers’ and they overpriced clothes and we couldn’t agree more!
Fergie was talking while promoting her own shoe range, which is more reasonably priced than other she says: “I would feel really irresponsible right now to have a line that was completely out of my fans’ price range.”
We couldn’t agree more. Let’s face it, it’s not really hardcore fashionistas who want to snap up clothes by the likes of Lauren Conrad, Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne but their young fans who’s budget is not gonna stretch into the hundreds of pounds they will need to indulge in these trends.
There are one-off’s whose collections do sell despite their high prices, Victoria Beckham’s collection for instance, but in times like these the prices should be a little more realistic. But Victoria’s denim collection was not as successful and did end up in bargain bins around America.
And if Lauren Conrad had realised this earlier she wouldn’t have had to scrap her fashion range.
Let’s see if Fergie’s words will rub off on any other stars!

When Michael Jackson isn’t planning his latest money-making scheme in the UK, it seems that the star is window shopping for babies… the controversial Kind Of Pop has admitted to wanting to expand his family when he’s over in the UK and reportedly wants to find a new child when he stays in the UK for his comeback concerts this year. Hmm, lock up your babies!
You know what they say, the best way to get over a man is to get under a new one and Katy Perry has done just that! Despite vowing to remain celibate after splitting with Gym Class Heroes rocker Travis McCoy, Katy is now dating US singer Josh Groban. So it’s safe to say she’s definitely not dating Benji Madden.
While I’ll admit that Whoppi Goldberg is not the most stylish of women, I would never go as far as to call her a bag lady, like some bitchy fashion critic. Rightly so, the OSCAR WINNING Whoopi put her in her place and told her to kiss her ass. Class all the way, I love it!
Friends family and people from the acting world gathered together in New York to say goodbye to Natasha Richardson as she was buried. The actress passed away last week after suffering a head injury from a skiing accident.

Tributes to reality TV star Jade Goody, who died on Sunday (22Mar09) after losing her battle with cervical cancer.
Goody, who made a name for herself after appearing on the U.K.’s Big Brother in 2002, passed away aged 27 at her home in Upshire, south east England in the early hours of Sunday
Fred Durst has revealed that he decided it was time to call it a day with Limp Bizkit when he realised that their music had become bullies’ anthems
Katie Holmes looked great when she stepped out in those hair extensions for the Japan premiere of Valkyrie, but did she look £30,000 worth of great? That’s how much her make-over set her back and even worse she only kept them in for three days! That’s £10,000 per day!
Gwyneth Paltrow should sack her stylists, after she revealed her kids are the ones in control of her fashion choices now. Apparently her two little-uns are very fussy about what mum wears and even tell her which nail polish to wear. Ooo, bossy!
Angelina Jolie has got another one over on Jennifer Aniston as she topped a poll as the Yummiest Film Mum While Aniston had to be content with second place

Kurt Cobain might be regarded as a music icon amongst rock fans, but it seems his suicide killed his career too as few advertisers and Hollywood studio executives want to pay to use it in commercials and TV shows.
Kate Moss is a saucy little minx isn’t she. The model has auctioned off a kiss for charity and even managed to up the price of it by promising to deliver it dressed as a policewoman. Wonder what her boyfriend will have to say about that!
Valentino has managed to find himself in hot water, after spilling red wine all over Anne Hathaway at his premiere this week- Oops! Luckily, Anne saw the funny side and demanded he autograph her gown there an then, which proves how grown-up she is, because I would have just thrown a drink back.
You have got to feel sorry for poor James Franco who is being followed by masses of female fans at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Hey pal bit of advice if you have got it flaunt it.

Oh Rihanna, Rihanna when will you ever learn? Not only have you got back with the man who is supposed to have knocked seven bells out of you on Grammy night, but now you have decided to make a sex tape with said bloke.
We love a bit of Lady Gaga at the moment, and with the first weekend where the sun is actually shining of 2009 just around the corner, why not invest in a decent tune to be the anthem to your Strongbow and BBQ filled weekend?
Looks like Noel Gallagher has been a bit of a naughty boy. The Oasis rocker has been kicked out of a taxi in Japan after arguing with the driver. Noel explained, “Got thrown out of a taxi this morning. At least I think I did. Hard to tell over here. There was shouting and pointing and then the international hand signal for ‘Get the fuck out of my cab, you western dog!”
Poor Salma Hayek. No really, not only is she married to a fashion boss billionaire, but he also styles her for events and calls in favours when she’s having a crisis about what to wear for the Golden Globes. I know, life is so unfair.
Tributes have poured in from the movie industry as they all remember actress Natasha Richardson who died from a head injury yesterday

Glad to hear that Lou Pearlman isn’t going to let a jail cell stop him making a buck or two, and his plotting a return to the spotlight with his own reality TV show, and to think I don’t believe in rewarding criminals.
I am gutted to hear that my celeb best mate Leon Jackson has been dropped from his record label after just one album; at least he can revel in the fact that if he could ‘make it’ on personality alone, he would be at the top of my charts… and there’s always a place in my house for Mr Jackson.
Oh Kanye West we normally love your arrogant attitude but we wonder how cocky you’ll be feeling today after the news you could be facing two and a half years in jail. The rapper has been charged with vandalism, battery and grand theft after a scrap with a paparazzi. We’re sure next time you’ll be happy to just smile for the picture and walk away!
Ooo, we do love a good catfight and now there seems to be a good one brewing between Tyson Beckford and some stylish celebs. Her beef is that people like Cheryl Cole and Victoria Beckham are taking jobs away from the real models out there. Hummm… a waif thin model no-one has heard of, or a gorgeous celeb who we all love? It’s a tough one…
Natasha Richardson has passed away after a skiing accident. A member of one of cinema’s most famous acting families she was the eldest daughter of Vanessa Redgrave the forty five year old had found success on both the stage and the big screen.
