Us Weekly reveals the secrets of celebrity style.

The editors of the country's hottest celebrity magazine unlock the fashion secrets of the stars and help readers get gorgeous!

Whether they're snapped walking down a red carpet or a city street, stars like Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Simpson never look anything but drop-dead gorgeous. In Valentino or a pair of Levi's, attending a premiere or running from the paparazzi, today's stars always manage to pull it off. Now readers can crib their fashion secrets in Us Secrets of Celebrity Style, the first book from Us Weekly, the mega-selling magazine that has become the nation's celebrity bible.

Readers will learn where to shop, what to wear, and how to wear it, including solutions for both daytime and nighttime glamour. They'll get insight from the Us experts on how to minimize flaws and maximize assets, as well as in-depth advice on dressing for any occasion, and the inside tricks that Hollywood's top stylists use to make the stars look perfect.

Splashed with the color, gloss, and celebrity photography that the magazine is known for, Us Secrets of Celebrity Style gives readers a total guide to looking good -- and shows that you don't need an army of groomers and stylists, or a large stash of cash, to look your best.

Summary: The Ideal Fashion Book
Comment: This book is full of pictures of celebs dos and don'ts, a girl's dream of a fashion book; lots of dos pictures to admire, some don'ts pictures to give you a giggle & learn a lesson or two, and a side serving of witty comments. Perfect for people who loves fashion and the editor sure gets it.

Unlike the "Instyle - secret of style" book which I think is a shame of the money, too much text & sketch, and not enough photographs to make their points. Save your money and stick to their magazines (which are great).

Future editors, take note, if you're collaborating a book on fashion for people who loves fashion (= visual people), we want to SEE it, not Read it.

Summary: At last!
Comment: I love the pictures of celebrities in different styles (classic, creative, all-american sexy, ultra-glam) of clothes. It gives you lots of ideas/pictures and suggestions on what to do/not do. I also really like the sections in the back that cover topics such as: small bust, big bust, if you are short, full figure, pear shaped, pregnancy (10 pages), and suggestions for your age range (only goes up to 40's).

I would also highly recommend "InStyle, Secrets of Style: the complete guide to dressing your best every day" as this is a little more thorough on how each item of clothing should fit, and what kind of styles to try for your body-type (curvy, short, boyish, narrow shoulders, broad shoulders, full bust, small bust, tummy issues, short-waisted/long legs, long-waisted/short legs, bottom heavy).

Both of these books have helped me so much when I go shopping, so I know before I get to the store what would work best for me. I have read "Secrets of Celebrity Style" and "Instyle Secrets of Style" cover-to-cover several times, referring to them often. As a result, I have gotten comments on how much better dressed I look.

I am only disappointed that these books weren't published 5-10 years ago, when I really needed it!

Summary: Glam up your look!
Comment: From US Weekly magazine comes "US Secrets of Celebrity Style: A Crash Course in Dressing Like the Stars". This is a nifty oversized, softcover that focuses on how the stars dress to look good and grab attention and how you can too.

US Secrets reveals the classic elements that the stars have worn for years that are timeless in appeal and make people wonder - "Who is she?" The book starts with the white shirt. You see Ingrid Bergman wearing the classic in 1951 and Mary J. Bilge updating the white shirt look today. Other basics are covered like scarfs, sunglasses, the little black dress etc.
Then the book delves into occasions like what to wear to a summer wedding or how to ultra-glam up an evening. Celebrities of today are used with looks you can copy and get ideas from.
Vintage looks are shown with modern updates.

The book also includes best bets for body styles,age style, accessories and more. What to do and what NOT to do are covered. Celebrities range from classic icons like Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O to the newly minted Paris Hilton and Tara Reid. Tons of celebs..Uma Thurman, Kirsten Dunst, Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Selma Blair and more..(One caveat, though they have a special section on what to wear for your age, most of the celebs featured throughout the book are under 35.)

The book is a good source for inspiration. My daughter loves fashion. Looking through the book we find different ways to wear the pieces she has in her wardrobe without spending a bundle.

Jennifer Aniston is not a favorite of mine so I am not fond of the books cover. However, I read a comment in a magazine that said that though Ms. Aniston is not super attractive her total packaging ie grooming and clothes gives her a lot of star appeal. So that makes the cover understandable. Still I think a book on clothing and style could have had a better cover than a blow up of her face.

Overall the book is a good read and packed with good tips and ideas.
