Fashion Barbie: spiderman

| comments

If you've already seen The Amazing Spiderman (which I have -twice) then your girl crush on leading lady Emma Stone has probably grown exponentially to a size you couldn't have even believed to have been possible (same with your crush on Andrew Garfield, whose adorable awkwardness as the "dorky" Peter Parker made me question why in the world anyone would have picked Tobey McGuire -sorry, buddy, but Andrew Garfield looks way better in that Spidey suit, if ya know what I'm sayin'). Back to my point: Stone stars alongside Garfield as Gwen Stacy, the top student in their class, head intern to Dr. Curt Connors at Oscorp, and daughter to New York's Chief of Police. Unlike Mary Jane, Gwen is much more Peter's equal. She makes life-saving antidotes and protects the employees of Oscorp when Dr. Connors has a bit of a melt down. She even goes after the bad guy before Peter can show up and sometimes she saves Spiderman! Hooray for not being a damsel in distress!

Super awesome girl power aside, Gwen has a fantastic wardrobe, which I love because yay for being smart, stylish, and BLONDE! Like, she is breakin' all the stereotypes! Gwen really likes knit dresses and tall boots when she's at school or interning at Oscorp (a lab coat never worked so well with an outfit) and when she's at home she loves cozy sweaters and flouncy plaid skirts. Everything is very neat, very clean, and very chic.

Want to look school-girl smart and comic-book perfect? Try these to get the Gwen Stacy vibe.

Now that we have ventured into 2012, we take one last look back on the year before us.

There were many fabulous and fashionable young starlets this year who took the world by storm with both their talents and their style...

but only one can be THE it girl of the year.

Who is it?

It's...

it's...

Emma Stone!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Emma Stone beat out even a princess for the title of the It Girl of 2011. It has certainly been Miss Stone's year, after all. She started off strong with a Golden Globe nomination for her role in Easy A, then went on to star in two big summer movies, The Help and Crazy, Stupid Love -with Ryan Gosling, the lucky girl! Next on the girl's plate? Starring as the love interest in the new Spiderman reboot alongside real-life beau Andrew Garfield, and then again alongside Ryan Gosling in The Gangster Squad. Emma certainly has impressed movie audiences, but it's her sleek fashion sense that grabs my attention. She rocks a natural face and red-hot tresses and lets her clothes do most of the talking. She favors Giambattista Valli and Chanel, but whatever the girl wears is golden. Emma is not afraid to take a fashion risk, but she also knows what works for her, and that is why she has become one of my biggest style icons.

Congratulations, Emma, you've really earned it!
