DEV performed at a recent concert wearing head-to-toe leopard print with matching pieces from Motel. She wears their Hardy Boyfriend Shirt in Leopard Print ($70.00) with the Jordan Skinny Jean in Leopard Print ($60.00). DEV added her own twist to the top with golden metal collar tips. She’s also got on her Jeffrey Campbell “Clinic” Wedges ($179.95), which she has been wearing a lot recently.

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.

I’m not sure if these are the exact pair, but the Leopard Loopback Pants from Express ($59.90) definitely look a lot like the gray leopard print skinny jeans that Hayley Williams wore during Paramore’s 2011 South America tour.

Demi Lovato performs at Iquique Festival in Chile on February 4, 2012 (source)

At her recent concert in Chile, Demi Lovato wore the Pucca Backless Tux Jacket ($655.00) from Unconditional with some jewels added to the lapel. Getting Demi’s rock star look doesn’t require such an expensive piece – you can pick up a cheap pink blazer from Forever 21 here, here, or here, and add some studs yourself. Wear it with pleather pants like the Tripp NYC Deville ($62.00) and a t-shirt from your favorite rock band – Demi’s is a Poison tee.

Demi is wearing her Lita Spike Ankle Boots by Jeffrey Campbell, which retail for around $195.00 at Urban Outfitters, SoleStruck, Lori’s Shoes, or Jildor. Though cheaper than her jacket these shoes are still a bit pricey, but luckily there are some alternatives available. If you like the spiked heel you can get a similar look a a wedge for $78.00 or $92.99; or $53.40 if you don’t mind having a different color. If you like the shape of the Lita boots there are a number of alternatives on the market in the $20-$50 range: here, here, here, here, here, here, and many more.

Ellie Goulding performs at JetBlue Terminal 5 on January 19, 2012 - photo by Emily Krum

Ellie Goulding performed a special show at New York City’s JFK Airport wearing Topshop’s Black Spray Printed Leggings (£20.00/$40.00) tucked into rugged combat boots. These leggings have bold splashes of pink, blue, and yellow and Ellie keeps the rest of her look simple with a losse-fitting black top. You can get a similar look with the Dr. Martens Warner Boots ($98.00) and Topshop’s Knitted Tape Pocket Tunic (£40.00/$80.00).

new photoshoot for Cassadee Pope's solo project

In case you haven’t heard, Cassadee Pope is going solo. Hey Monday are not done but they are taking a break and Cassadee will be going on her first solo tour starting tomorrow (tour dates on her Facebook page). She has released a cover of “Torn” by Natalie Imbruglia and an acoustic video of an original song “Lunatic.” The above picture is the official photo for her solo project, so you may be seeing a lot more of it.

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’re probably aware that Cassadee loves Forever 21. Her fringed tee with cutouts around the waist is their Fringed Suedette Top ($17.80) and I believe her leggings and bracelet are from Forever 21 as well. There is not a bracelet in her color but two styles share the same shape: the Lacquered Wing Bracelet in pink or white ($6.80) and the Winged Cuff Bracelet in metal tones ($8.80). Their Sequin Shimmer Leggings ($24.80) look like what Cassadee is wearing, though I can’t tell if they are exact.

You can get similar pairs of leopard skinny jeans from Tripp NYC:

1. Trash and Vaudeville – $68.00
2. Trash and Vaudeville – $60.00
3. Urban Outfitters – $69.00

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.”

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.

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.

Siwy – $218
