For an acoustic performance at The End 107.9 FM, Ellie Goulding wore the Aztec Print Leggings from Topshop (£20.00 / $40.00). Recently it seems that Ellie likes wearing basic black tops with fun printed leggings. She wore a similar outfit with a different pair of Topshop leggings a few months ago.

Cher Lloyd leaving her hotel in Manchester on April 6, 2012 - photo: cher-lloyd.org

You can get the MOTO Space Print Leigh Jeans that Cher Lloyd is wearing for £40.00 or $80.00 from Topshop. I’m not sure where Cher got her exact top, but the Burnout Low Armhole Vest from Topshop for £10.00 or $20.00 is extremely similar. Cher is wearing a fluorescent bra underneath – you can get a similar look with the Seamless Contrast Bra from Forever 21 for £5.55 or $8.80.

Steampunk Outfit

Ash Costello's photoshoot for Lip Service

The latest episode of Ash Costello “Rockonista” web series takes us shopping with her at Lip Service’s Los Angeles warehouse. Lip Service has lines catered to many different alternative subcultures including lolita, cyber, and industrial clothing; but most of Ash’s picks come from the “Black Steam” collection of Victorian steampunk-inspired clothes.

Ash explains this outfit:

It’s very steampunk-inspired. Steampunk has been around for a while kind of in the underground, and I feel like right now it’s just starting to make it into the mainstream. Lip Service has really found a creative way to take steampunk in everyday wear — something you could wear to school, or to clubs, concerts, DisneyLand like I would. And I love it. I love that [the skirt] has the key detail, it’s very steampunk, and the brown distressed leather. This is something that I would wear all the time. And to top it all off I have my Sideshow by the Sea necklace. I love bats and anything gothy and dark like that is just awesome to me. So it pulls the whole thing together.

What she’s wearing:
All of Ash’s clothes are from Lip Service. She wears the BlackList Black Lace Top ($41.50) with the Step in Time Underbust Top ($98.00) over it. Her skirt is the Step in Time Lace Layered Skirt ($65.00) and the tights are the Ripped Net Pantyhose ($9.00). Her bat necklace is the La Mia Bella Morte Necklace from Sideshow by the Sea ($35.00).

Hayley Williams in a photoshoot for Paramore's January 2012 Alternative Press cover

These Cheap Monday Moss Ice Narrow Skinny Denim Jeans from Hot Topic ($65.00) are really similar to the mustard-colored skinny jeans that Hayley Williams wore in Paramore’s January 2012 Alternative Press photoshoot. I believe that her exact pair is from Cheap Monday as well, but they are a higher-waisted style like these.

Hayley also wears the Sailor Girl Intarsia Cardigan from Betsey Johnson (sold out) and red Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi-Tops ($45.00).

“Blue Jeans” singer Lana Del Rey stepped out in her own pair of blue jeans after a Guns N Roses concert. She’s wearing the Nico Mid Rise Super Skinny in Chelsea from Hudson Jeans ($154.00). She’s paired these dark washed jeans with a light colored denim shirt (get a similar look from Lucky Brand or Topshop) worn over a Guns N Roses tank top. She keeps things casual with a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers in charcoal gray ($45.00).

Kreayshawn: Bikini Top, Sequin Pants

Kreayshawn photographed by Brenna Egan for Papermag

Kreayshawn got styled by PAPER magazine for their Beautiful People 2012 special in an outfit that doesn’t look like nothing I’ve ever seen her wear. It reminds me more of Joan Jett, who has been known to rock out in bikini tops. Kreashawn’s snakeskin bikini top is the Billabong Runway Collection Natasha Bikini Top ($32.00); available at Tilly’s, DogFunk, Surf Station, Gear and more. Her sequin skinny jeans are the The Legging Ankle in Red from AG Jeans by Adriano Goldschmied ($225.00). She wears a vintage Chanel choker and other jewelry from Cartier.

note: Paper actually credits this bikini top to Volcom. I am quite certain that is a mistake.

Cher Lloyd SXSW

Cher Lloyd performed her first show ever in America wearing red white and blue, the colors of both her native Great Britain and the United States. We asked Cher in our exclusive interview whether her outfit was meant to be pro-Britain or pro-America and she said that it was “a bit of both.” Though she’s carrying a Union Jack handkerchief in her pocket “to let everyone know I’m British,” her blue crop top and red shorts are definitely more on the American side as they come from made-in-the-USA brand American Apparel. You can buy her Cotton Spandex Jersey Crop Tee in Lapis for $25.00 and The Disco Short in Red for $52.00.
