Carly Rae Jepsen was photographed for New Zealand’s Coup de Main magazine wearing the Birkin Peplum Dress in Pop Floral Print by Maurie & Eve ($199.95 AUD) with Dr Martens 1460 Boots in hot pink patent lamper ($115.00).

If you don’t know Carly Rae Jepsen by name, you’ve probably heard her hit single “Call Me Maybe” which is currently the #2 song in the US and has hit #1 in her native Canada and 11 other countries. The 26-year-old singer-songwriter placed third on Canadian Idol back in 2007, but hadn’t broken out into worldwide success until recently.

Demi Lovato: Yellow Dress, Body Chain

Is Demi Lovato being sponsored by Topshop? She wore head-to-toe Topshop at the Austin X-Factor auditions a few weeks ago, and at today’s auditions in Kansas City she wore another four pieces from the UK-based clothing chain. She arrived in the Strappy Button Midi Dress ($70.00) with the Swan Cutout Bralet ($52.00) underneath and the Square Section Body Chain ($40.00) over it. Her Lady Mama Crystal Booties are from Topshop’s premium line in collaboration with by Chloe Jade Green and are quite pricey at $350.00. The only piece that I’m not sure about is her leather jacket with a studded skull design on the back, but you can grab a similar one at Free People.

The clunky body chain is a fun and fresh look, but the dress is totally shapeless and I can’t imagine it being very flattering on anyone. Definitely not her best look!

Selena Gomez Elle Magazine Dress

Selena Gomez is the cover girl for Elle Magazine’s July 2012 issue. One of the outfits that she wears in her fashion spread is this red peplum dress from Lanvin priced at $3,595. If you like the dress but not the price, fortunate you can score the look for much, much less. The ASOS Bandeau Dress with Peplum, pictured at right, is very similar and costs only $52.19!

Chantal Claret: Bite Your Tongue Dress

Chantal Claret, former lead singer of Morningwood, recently released a music video for her track “Bite Your Tongue.” The video has a very lo-fi feel to it and the wardrobe is low-budget as well. Chantal wears the Printed Cotton Spandex Jersey Double U-Neck Dress from American Apparel ($40.00) in black & white zig zag print while her backup singers wear the same dress in solid black. Of course the real show-stopper is her red and yellow hair!

Ash Costello: Freddy Krueger Sweater Dress

Ash Costello’s ripped sweater dress is actually a “Miss Krueger” Halloween Costume ($35.20), inspired by the red and green striped sweater that Freddy Krueger wore in the film A Nightmare on Elm Street. This is older photo, but not being a horror movie fan myself I didn’t recognize the significance of her sweater at the time.

Demi Lovato has been selected as a judge for the new season of The X-Factor, the show’s second season in America. She’ll be judging alongside the show’s creator Simon Cowell, Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid, and pop superstar Britney Spears.

Demi wore head-to-toe Topshop for the first day of filming. Her lime green Pacific Zip Front Dress ($120.00, sold out) gives a summery look while the Metallic Snakeskin Leather Jacket ($330.00) adds the rocker edge that Demi is known for. Her pumps are the CJG Stud Black Peeptoe Court Shoes ($230.00), which have a mint green sole and round studs along the heel.

Kesha: American Flag Dress

Ke$ha covered V Magazine’s Americana issue with American flag face paint. In her spread, she wears a modified version of the American Flag Dress by DSquared2 ($851.00) which has been covered in sequins. She completes the American feel of her outfit with cowboy boots and a western belt.

The article praises Ke$ha for being ordinary. Dr. Luke, the music producer who signed Ke$ha, explains how easy it is for fans to steal her style. “It’s tough for kids to emulate someone with twenty fashion people on staff,” he says. “Ke$ha comes out in an AC/DC T-shirt that she found in a dumpster, literally, and she rocks it. It’s sort of a metaphor for who she is. Anyone can be Ke$ha in their own way.”

DEV: Mesh Dress, Leopard Platform Sandals

On the set of a recent photoshoot, DEV wore the Steve Madden Women’s Shazzam Platform Sandal ($72.00). These shoes have a delicate black patent upper and a monstrous leopard print platform and block heel. I’m not 100% sure about the dress because I can’t see the front, but I believe it’s the Mesh Bust Panel Bodycon Dress from Topshop ($80.00).

DEV recently got two new tattoos on her legs, one of which you can see here. But you can head over to the DEV’s tattoos page to see them both!
