She's Pretty Reckless

      There are few people whose style has changed more than Taylor Momsen.  Since her days as the adorable “Cindy Lou Who” in the 2000 film The Grinch, she has gone from feminine, cute pieces, to looking taking “grunge” to a whole new level.  This may have something to do with her emergence into the music scene with her band The Pretty Wreckless , or wanting to break the mold.  Who knows?  I don’t say that I’m a mind reader.

     Honestly, I don’t know where to begin with Momsen’s style.  Probally, the reason that I’m not championing her as a fashion queen is because I don’t think that clothes should look as if you took them from a vampire, ran over them with a truck, and stuck them through a shredder.  

    Remember: Personal opinion.

  Now, some parts of her style she does do well.  She knows what looks good on her, and what she can accentuate.  She plays up her long legs with distressed leggings, tights, and heels.  She also shows quite a bit of leg, due to her love for min-skirts and SHORT dresses.  So Momsen-something that you do well.

     But, and there must be a but-the hair.  Normally, I don’t bash the bleached-blonde look, but when it’s that long, and un-kept, I’m not a fan.  That and the makeup.  Most of the pictures that I have showed here have her with sun glasses on-both inside and outside of buildings.  With those glasses though, she’s hiding the insane amounts of black eye shadow that surround her eyes.

 

    One thing that I will say about Momsen however is that I do applaud the fact that she wears what she wants, and doesn’t really care what people think.  She has been named a controversial style icon , alongside Lady Gaga, the Olsen Twins, and Rihanna. 

           

            But what does Momsen think of her style?  In a interview with Seventeen Magazine she said:

      "I like to wear a lot of baggy things. Like, I buy guys' clothes, like T-shirts, and I cut them up and wear them loose, but my blazers have to be really fitted. I also like layering things and really short skirts — or showing off my legs.”
