Cassadee Pope: Leopard Fishnet Tights

Cassadee Pope for Hot Topic

Cassadee Pope is part of Hot Topic’s latest “Rock Our Shorts” promotion, appearing in a video and in photos on the site. Oddly enough I don’t see shorts like hers on the site — it might be the LOVEsick Blue Acid Wash Distressed Cut-Off Short Shorts ($24.50) with the cuffs rolled down. I did however find her tights, which are the Black Leopard Fishnet Tights ($10.00).

DEV sheer blouse, yellow leather shorts, platform oxfords

DEV at the mtvU Woodie Awards Festival in Austin, TX on March 15, 2012

Taking center stage for DEV’s performance at the mtvU Woodie Awards Festival are her golden yellow Leather Shorts by Emma Cook ($530.00). Her black and white platform oxford Jeffrey Campbell “Warning” shoes ($160.00) have a creeper-style woven toe detail and etched silver buckles. You can get a sheer blouse like DEV’s with the Chiffon Oversized Button-Up from American Apparel ($58.00). I think her exact necklace is the Hammered Collar Necklace from Nasty Gal ($20.00, sold out), but you can get similar necklaces from Nordstrom or Nasty Gal.

Sleigh Bells' "Comeback Kid" music video

Alexis Krauss rocks some awesome custom clothes in Sleigh Bells’ music video for “Comeback Kid,” the fist single from their newly released album Reign of Terror. Her studded leather jacket is from East Village vintage punk shop Search & Destroy. Her denim shorts were made by Bambi and Manson from a pair of vintage Levi’s that have been cut-off, slashed, bleached, and dyed. You can order your own custom-made “Scarlets” for £50.00. Pick up a similar skinny pink metallic belt from ASOS for $3.58.

Miley Cyrus studded shorts

Miley Cyrus’ look is very on-trend with two things we’ve being seeing a lot of lately: illusion tights and destroyed shorts. She wears the Chain Suspender Tights by House of Holland for Pretty Polly ($24.42) with Urban Renewal Destroyed Studded Shorts from Urban Outfitters ($79.00).

Her tee has a drawing of a smoking baby from the cover of Van Halen’s album 1984. You can get a similar Van Halen t-shirt for $17.99. Complete the look with an olive green military jacket like this Drawstring Cargo Jacket from Forever 21 ($29.80) and riding boots like the Jessica Simpson Pepper ($44.75).

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 instagram photo

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?

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.
