Sienna Miller
Crowned the"princess of boho chic," Miller is known for her signature floaty tunics, ethnic baubles and peasant skirts. The actress created boldface buzz when she cut her trademark tousled tresses into a sassy bob for her role as Edie Sedgwick in the upcoming film Factory Girl. Her love life -- with philandering Jude and pretty-boy Hayden -- generates as much ink as her occasional fashion slip-ups. Case in point: her love affair with '80s leggings and the pink puff dress she wore to last year's Moët & Chandon Fashion Tribute in London.
Britney Spears
Remember the days when Spears lit up the red carpet in sexy designer ensembles? Since marrying Kevin, it seems that Spears has lost her way and her fashion sense. The new mom is boycotting bras and has been photographed walking barefoot in gas-station restrooms. And what's with those baby tees and trucker hats with provocative language written on them? The press is totally perplexed by her drastic fashion decline, calling her an"over-the-hill Lolita" and begging her to hire a stylist. Even Christina Aguilera, who also has a dubious fashion sense, says Spears has let herself go. Now that's bad.
Fergie
She's the lead singer of The Black Eyed Peas, and, like the group's music, Fergie's style tries desperately to be eclectic but comes across as chaotic
and confused. One minute she's dressed in a baseball cap and sportswear, the next she's shakin' her hump in bootie shorts. The tragic part is that the wannabe diva really tries to look elegant but somehow always looks like she's going to a basement party in Brooklyn. A stylist could help Fergie find a look that combines her edge with a touch of class.
Renee Zellweger
Carolina Herrera is famed for her custom-made gowns, so it's no wonder that actress Renée Zellweger wants to wear them. She wore a red embroidered chiffon Herrera gown at the 2003 Oscars and switched to a white strapless number for the 2004 Oscars. She even wore Herrera to her beachside wedding. While she looked stunning, in the words of Simon Cowell,"It's just safe." Her quickie marriage and even quicker divorce from country singer Kenny Chesney might be the most spontaneous thing Zellweger has done in a while.
Charlize Theron
There is no denying that Theron is a breathtaking beauty, but her style (which is influenced by her stylist, Lisa Michelle Boyd) is quickly shifting from graceful to"Wow! What was she thinking?" At the 2006 Oscars, she tried shaking things up with a beehive updo and an overly architectural Dior gown complete with supersize bow. While some observers gushed, most guffawed at its over-the-top proportions.
