Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Stop with this Rihanna !! She dresses like a hooker most of the time.. I'd die if my girl left the house like that girl!

You put lame ass Taylor swift on this list? She dresses like its the 1950's. Don't mention fashion if you're not going to mention Rihanna.

If you will mention a celebrity for their style. Don't forget to research who their stylist is. Think its better to give credit to where its due.

Karl Lagerfeld?

@Macy well put

I personally can't stand how Taylor Swift dresses. I think Nicole Richie should definitely be on this list. Don't like how Rihanna dresses

Janelle obviously has no idea what she's talking about.

Coco Chanel - For changing fashion in the 1920's in a sensational way and for of corse making the LBD mainstream.

What about Lily Collins, she's practically Audrey reincarnated

Umm... How is it that Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn aren't on the list?? Duh...
