Kreayshawn leopard pants, skeleton top, earrings, necklace

photo from Kreayshawn's instagram

Kreayshawn is wearing the Jersey Peg Pant in Leopard Print from ASOS ($22.38). The tapered leg makes these a more fashionable alternative to traditional sweatpants. Her sweater is the Ashish Long Sleeve Top With Sequin Skeleton which is sold out and very expensive, but you can get a simpler ribcage sweater from Sourpuss Clothing for $52.00.

She’s swapped her usual Juicy Couture charm necklace for a clunky gold chain and large gold skeleton pendant. You can try the gold-tone Vivienne Westwood Skeleton Long Necklace pictured above ($134.99) or silvery skeleton necklaces from ASOS or Nordstrom. A similar Chain Link Necklace sells for $29.99. There are tons of costume jewelry door knockers, but I couldn’t find any cheap ones with this particular shape. I did find a 10K Gold pair of Square Door Knocker Bamboo Hoop Earrings for $229.95 from Soul Jewelry. For the record, Kreayshawn’s bamboo earrings are real gold. In an in interview with Dr Jays, she said:

“I have an accessory that I wear constantly, and it’s my gold bamboo earrings. Recently somebody did an interview with me, and they said that I was wearing fake bamboo earrings. Which number one: they never checked, and number two: they never asked. But they are real gold, ok! They were expensive. I bought them for myself on my birthday, dammit! And I wear them all the time.”

Porcelain Black: Strappy Bra, Latex Shorts

Porcelain Black performs during Lil Wayne’s I Am Still Music Tour – PR Photos

Porcelain Black owns at least four bras from Marlies Dekkers, known for the creative use of straps as a design element, and she wears them both as tops for performances and under dresses as an extra decorative element. This one is the Beautiful Bat Black Padded Plunge Balcony Bra ($160.00). She typically pairs her bra tops with high-waisted hotpants, but these mega-tall shorts go above her natural waist and almost up to the bra. These Lillian Girdle Shorts are from latex designer Abigail Greydanus, who designed the black and white catsuit that Porcelain wears in her “This Is What Rock N Roll Looks Like” music video as well as many of Katy Perry‘s latex dresses.

faux leather overalls and crop top

Sierra Kusterbeck is wearing the Forever 21 Leatherette Shortall ($24.80) with the Jac Vanek Live Free Crop Top (sold out).

The leather overall shorts are a bold fashion statement, and one that’s bound not to appeal to everyone. Humor blog WTForever21 writes “The only place this would be appropriate is an S&M hoe down.” What do you think: Are faux-leather overalls a faux-pas? Or rocker-chic?

Hayley Williams and silver lame shorts from Tripp

Back in May, I posted about the “Milk Kills” tee and silver lamé overalls that Hayley wore from designer Jeremy Scott‘s Fall/Winter 2011 Ready-to-Wear collection, but they were never made available for purchase. (If you are one of the few that can afford Jeremy Scott, see the list below for stores selling other pieces from the collection).

Now Tripp NYC, another brand that Hayley has worn a lot, are selling a pair of Silver Metallic Short Shorts for $29.50 at Hot Topic. It’s not overalls, but it’s close! The Hot Topic website has styled them similarly to Hayley, showing them worn over black tights.

States - Mindy White

Mindy White’s favorite item in her wardrobe are these sequined skinny jeans from Siwy. In our interview, Mindy said that she owns them in blue, red, gold, and black; though I have not yet seen her wear the black or blue pairs. She says:

It’s very hard for my to find jeans that I love, and I found Siwy jeans. And they fit me so well that I was looking on the site to get some more jeans, and I saw that she had these sequined pants. And I was like “those would be so perfect for stage.” So I emailed them and I asked them what colors they had, and she told me all these colors, and I was like “I want them all!” I’ve never seen them anywhere else. I think she’s literally the only designer making them in different colors. That was a couple seasons ago, but I hope she keeps making more because I wanna keep rocking them.

Sierra Kusterbeck

Photo posted by Sierra Kusterbeck on Instagram: "Doin some corn mazes tonight! Highschool Hell outfit"

Sierra Kusterbeck posted this photo to her Instagram wearing her Topshop Letterman jacket with a striped bodysuit and ripped denim shorts. I believe that her bodysuit is the Cotton Spandex Jersey Strapless Ruched Bodysuit from American Apparel ($26.00) and her shorts look like the Urban Renewal Cutoff Short from Urban Outfitters ($44.00). I’m not certain on either of these due to the photo quality, but Sierra has worn a lot of American Apparel in the past as well as a few item from Urban Outfitters.

Ellie Goulding Fashion Night Out

Ellie Goulding performed an acoustic set at Niketown for Fashion’s Night Out in a pair of Lita Boots from Jeffrey Campbell. I’m not entirely sure what color and fabric hers are — it looks like Chartreuse Green Velvet but it may also be the more tame Buttermilk Suede. You can get similar leather-look leggings at Topshop or River Island.
