Dev's "Booty Bounce" music video

Electro-pop singer Dev (born Devin Star Tailes) wears 26 different outfits in her music video for “Booty Bounce.” A sample from this song was used as the chorus of Far East Movement’s number 1 hit “Like a G6.”

All of the clothing is from streetwear brand Hellz Bellz, save for some American Apparel hosiery. The pieces in the video span a few years of collections, so most of them are no longer available for purchase, but I’ve managed to identify 22 of the items worn. Read full story »

In this new photo by The Hundreds, Hayley Williams is wearing the Pointelle Scallop Over-the-Knee Socks from Urban Outfitters in black ($14.00).

Ellie Goulding live at The Music Box Theatre in Hollywood, CA by Carl Pocket

Ellie Goulding has been wearing her blue Alice by Temperley Game Jacket for most of her current US tour, but at her April 20th concert she instead opted to wear the black version, which is $375 at Net-A-Porter.

Her top is the Truly Madly Deeply Animal Cross Tee. Ellie is wearing the more slim-fitted version which is sold at Urban Outfitters UK for £28.00, and she has cut off the sleeves and collar to make it into a tank – which you can see in this photo. Urban Outfitters US sells the same print on a loose fitting dolman tee for $38.00.

You can buy a basic pair of running shorts similar to hers at American Apparel. Her tights are House of Holland’s Chain Suspender Tights, which mimic the look of thigh-highs held up by golden garters. They sell for $28.00 at Urban Outfitters or £12.00 at Next.

Taylor Momsen at the Los Angeles premiere of "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" on February 8, 2011

I’m in love with these lace-up tights which Taylor Momsen wore at her concert in Austin tonight and to the premiere of “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” last week with her Sex Trash corset and bullet shoes, but unfortunately they cost $255. Her exact pair are Wolford’s Artiste Lace-up Tights. I’ve found a few similar pairs of lace up tights and thigh-highs, though they all lace up the back rather than the front.

I’m not sure where Hayley Williams got the exact pink glitter socks and silver glitter tights that she wore at Z100’s Jingle Ball, so I’ve rounded up some similar hosiery:

right: American Apparel Sparkle Calf-High Sock – $9.00

left: ASOS Silver Glitter Tights – $17.24

right: Hot Topic Silver Sparkle Tights – $10.00

Music Legs Lurex Tights White/Silver – $7.00

Forever 21 Metallic Glitter Tights – $7.80

Via Spiga Liquid Metal Tight – $12.95

Wolford Versailles Tights – $42.00

The leggings that Hayley Williams wore on the cover of Spin are by Stockholm-based label Odd Molly. Their designs are hand-sewn and consequently they are quite expensive. Hayley’s leggings, the 661 Lux Wool Pointelle Legging, sell for 129,00 EUR at Shirtstory.eu or 949,00 Kr at Miinto.dk. If you are looking for something cheaper, Target sells a pair of crochet leggings for $19.99 and Urban Outfitters sells a pair for $29.00 (Target has another pair that is closer in pattern but only comes in purple and white).
