BEAUTY AND HEALTH CELEBRITY : TORI SPELLING

Celebrity Looks: Tori Spelling

       In an effort to help our readers avoid making mistakes in creating their own style, we are reviewing the looks of some of today’s celebrities as they go out and about on the red carpet (and elsewhere). We discuss what works for them, and where they might have made better choices and why.

       Here we see Tori Spelling, who is most widely remembered as ‘Donna’ of “Beverly Hills 90210”, the long-running originator of the tween-age nighttime drama. Tori is seen at her 2004 appearance as part of the WBs Winter Press Tour party in Hollywood. Her look is easily described as “classy casual” with a black silk blouse over her faded denims, a look that is literally tied-together by the addition of the black silk scarf at the waist. Her hair is a prominent feature of the look, styled in a fall of loose, sexy curls.

The Hair:

       Tori is back to her classic blonde look these days in a golden blonde tone. Even the new growth looks natural, giving the overall look of sun-bleached blonde tresses. The cut is a simple, long-layered look, styled using a few mid-sized rollers to create a mass of loose tendrils. Roll the hair, allow it to dry, and comb the hair out using a wide-tooth comb. Follow it up with a light application of styling wax to give the curls some definition.

The Make-Up:

       Where many celebrities tend to overdo it in the make-up department, Tori’s look is understated and natural looking. Eye, cheek and lip color are all in soft neutral shades and peachy tones, giving the overall effect of having a sun-kissed glow, rather than a made-up look. Pay particular attention to the way the neutral eye color with the warm undertones bring out the depth of Tori’s rich brown eyes.


Clothing and Accessories:

       This combination of blouse and jeans defines the ideal of “casual”, but still looks classy and upscale. The off-the-shoulder blouse and the side-tied scarf create competing angles to take away from the usually thin build Tori has. Actually, this is a useful trick for adding “curves” where there aren’t any, and for camouflaging the occasional bulge.

       The faded denim jeans are probably vintage, and definitely a great choice to balance the look, and make the legs look long, regardless of their shape. The whole look is made perfect by the accessories. The large, delicate pendant necklace adds sparkle, with an extra touch at the wrist with slim chain bracelet and the shimmer of silver in the pumps on herfeet.

       All in all, this is a great look for Ms. Spelling. She looks comfortable, yet classy, and unlike many of today’s celebrities, she looks like she makes an effort to look her best in any situation. I give this look a real A+.
