Hunter Parrish


Who: Hunter Parrish
He may be a sexed-up rebel on Showtime’s pot dramedy Weeds, but in reality, Hunter Parrish is the type of guy you would want to bring home to your parents. Going from high school bully in 17 Again to son of Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin in It’s Complicated, Hunter’s no stranger to the big-screen- and he’s also got the vocal chops to boot! Catch him in the Broadway revival of the 70s musical, Godspell. 
What:  Whether you’re dressing for a day on or off campus, you can never go wrong with some collegiate-inspired gear. And by that, we don’t mean simply branding the name of your preferred institution across your chest in sweats. Go for some preppy sophistication by layering over your day-to-day cardigans and sweaters with something hip and different. Hunter wears a corduroy suit byClaiborne, by John Bartlett. 
Want to opt for the simple? More often than not, the addition of one great, simple piece to everyday wear- take above’s wool duffel coat -will suffice. And you can never go wrong with a university scarf. 

Emma Stone


Who: Emma Stone
Charming us with fun-loving and quirky roles in films like Easy A andCrazy, Stupid, Love, Emma Stone has rapidly built herself one heck of a career in Hollywood, and her equally impressive sartorial resume is one that hasn’t been easy to skip past, either! Keep an eye out for her as Gwen Stacey in upcoming blockbuster The Amazing Spiderman, alongside Andrew Garfield. 
What: While we remain a huge fan of Emma’s show-stopping red carpet ensembles, we believe that there’s something to be said about her more subdued choices, too. Pictured above, Emma opts for a casually sophisticated look with a sheer tank by L’Agence, tucked into a printed skirt by Sachin + Babi.The silk geometric overlays add interest and depth to the mini whilst allowing Emma’s flawless pins to take centre stage. Finally, the short flirty number is proportionately balanced with a 3/4 sleeved motorcycle jacket and nude suede pumps. 

Ryan Lochte




Nothing screams summer more than a six time Olympic gold medalist decked out in boardies with a surfboard by his side, whilst (nicely) skulling a can of mountain dew.
With temperatures steadily on the rise here in Sydney and the grey winter sky increasingly being replaced by an infinite, cloudless blue, it’s hard not to look forward to the change of season…and fashion!
Beach bum? Surfer dude? Fight those awkward half-cold/half-warm days with a light cardigan or hoodie. Opt for more neutral shades either in plain block colours or simple stripes such as Ryan’s Nautica Jeans Co. hoodie to complement the bright hues of boardies. If the chills persist- fight it with a cashmere beanie or hat. We love Meg Cohen’s range here

Lea Michele


Who: Lea Michele
Since taking on the role of Rachel Berry on Glee, she’s become one of television’s biggest names and red-carpet regular. In the spotlight at the mere age of 9 as the young Cosette in Les Miserables, since then her soprano vox has graced Broadway in the acclaimed Spring Awakening and taken many of Glee’s numbers to the charts. 
What: The starlet proves to be a showstopper both on and off-screen in a one-shoulder Versace gown at the 2012 SAG Awards. The corseted Grecian number featured a light train at the hem and a thigh-high slit for a daring leg-show. Lea topped off her look with silver Casedei pointed pumps and a set of Lorraine Schwartz bangles, whilst her traditional bombshell hair kept all attention on the dress (or should we say, legs?). 

Aaron Tveit


Who: Aaron Tveit
 Link Larkin, Fiyero and Frank Abagnale Jr, this Broadway baby has got all this and more under his belt. But you probably know him best as Tripp Van Der Bilt on Gossip Girl, the conniving cousin of the equally delicious Nate Archibald. While that preppy exterior is positively adored, Aaron’s swapping cardigans and pea-coats for boots and breeches, starring as student revolutionary Enjolras in Tom Hooper’s revamp of Les Miserables, due out December this year. 
What: Men’s fashion totally does not get the boring end of winter wardrobes- especially not like this! Aaron keeps it clean with a peep of white under a striped Henley, topped off with your go-to publicity photo favourite- a leather jacket. Lightening up the ensemble is the simple touch of a scarf that keeps in step with a classic gun-metal grey colour scheme, making the perfect winter statement that is casual yet polished.

Rooney Mara


Who: Rooney Mara
If there’s one girl that makes fashion 10 times more interesting, it’s Rooney Mara- simply for her propensity to defy the typical hair-extensions-and-honey-skin starlet replete. Other than that, we don’t know anyone who has managed to die their hair jet black and not look like a dying cancer patient. You know her best as tough-ass Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s critically acclaimed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
What:  With a knack for picking interesting twists on classic fashion pieces, Rooney was decked top to toe in white Givenchy at the Tokyo premiere of TGWTDT. With structured ruffles that appear in all the right places, the piece tapers to a beautiful backless design that accentuates her petite upper body. 
And while such a dramatic head of hair is usually hard to wear due to its propensity to drain the skin, Rooney uses it to highlight her flawless complexion and light eyes by pulling her ebony locks back into a simple bun. All we have left to say is: Never change, Rooney. 

Jessica Biel


Who: Jessica Biel
 Easily one of the hottest A listers right now in Hollywood and one of tinsletown’s most sought after actresses, you can’t go wrong with Jessica Biel as a style icon. Frequently on the hot list of big name mags such as Esquire, FHM, Maxim and Empire, I think it’s about time we took some time out to appreciate (and absorb!) some of her style habits.
What: You just can’t go wrong with dress pants! Great for work or nights out with girlfriends, this must have wardrobe piece can add that extra easy spice that many strive for when putting together an ensemble. This look looks great when paired with a casual blouse, or it you’re heading out for something a bit more special, a fitted and frilled satin tank like Jessica’s. For a chic executive look, grab those classic black pumps!
