The Kardashians - it is a household name, but with no product nor achievement related to the ladies who made the name famous based on showing their high scale lifestyle. There is an obsession with keeping up with what celebrities are wearing and where they are going. We can see the Oscars, but breaking down what the celebrities are wearing at the Oscars is also a show by itself. When we think of celebrities, we think of money, jewelry, and flashing cameras. We treat celebrities like precious treats. Each part of their lives that they live out loud, we have something to say and are celebrating or lamenting along with them. There is a personal invested feeling towards celebrities and what they are wearing. Fashion is at the center of it all.
When our favorite celebrity flashes across the screen, we want to know more about what they are wearing. As if we have a degree in fashion merchandising, we seem to know what works for their body type and skin tone. So, why do we obsess so much on our favorite celebrities? Let's review some reasons.
Envy
Our favorite celebrities have tons of money! They get to spend money on houses, cars, and electronics that they may not need. The common individual cannot do this, so we are a bit jealous. Our favorite celebrities do not have a budget; whereas, each week or month we are making certain that every penny is accounted for responsibly. Budgeting is not a part of the celebrity's vocabulary. Whether it is Jimmy Choo shoes or the latest Valentino Garavani dress, we want our favorite celebrities to wear these fashions so we can wish it were us.Instant Recognition
Social media helps to keep the latest trends in front of our eyes. The average person begins their day with social media and falls asleep to social media. It is a captured audience and the perfect opportunity to showcase clothes and fashion. Beyonce and Kendall Jenner have been great influencers. We all want a Kale shirt or a knitted Celine dress. Fashion is a two-way conversation with social media. We can interact with our comments and even videos on YouTube.Celebrities Do the Impossible
There is no way a new mother can fit into such a snugly fitting, see-through dress, except if they are a celebrity. Celebrities have lots of people to pay attention to them and make certain that they look good in the latest fashions. They have personal trainers, nutritionists, and personal chefs to cater to their every need. Our own lives may be challenging and finding everyday inspiration can feel hopeless. Celebrities make us feel better. They need only to show up casually with jeans and a branded shirt, but in red-bottomed heels, then we feel we can get up and do something more. The inspiration behind knowing that in the past that celebrity was also struggling, it gives us hope. All sorts of emotions rush into our ordinary lives. Celebrities keep us inspired.The Buzz
The buzz of what our favorite celebrities will be wearing is what gets our fingers to typing. How could she wear that? Why didn't she wear this designer instead? It is all there to be chatted about. There are celebrity media, not just online, but also in print and on the television. The fashions keep us enthralled. Retailers can't keep up when it comes time for a trend that explodes. The colors and the fabric it was made of become the next YouTube videos. What is the feeling we get from what the celebrity is wearing? Are we getting a gladiator vibe or is it giving us a romantic walk on the beach feeling? Online success usually comes from a nod and a wear from a celebrity. Instant access will give us the latest fashion trend on our doorsteps within days.Celebrities Bring Newness
When we tune into what the celebrities are wearing, we want the newness. Our own clothes may pale in comparison. Our own clothes are the same old clothes; whereas, the celebrity never wears the same clothes within the week. They can go from glamorous to airport casual and not have to wear the same black pants to make it all work. Whatever they are wearing, we also want to wear it. Moschino and Burberry capitalize on how the buzz of the Internet works. Their fashionable works can go from the catwalk to online ordering within a few days.When looking at what our favorite celebrity is wearing, we are enamored and may, at some point, not like what they are doing. Our desire to see them doing well is a reflection of us. We love to see celebrities dressed well and presenting what we could also look like.
