Get the Look: Pop Culture’s Most Stylish Students


Whether you’re evoking Denise Huxtable’s Bohemian vibe, nostalgic for Lisa Turtle’s bright neon élan, or have a penchant for Dionne Davenport’s preppy swagger, Urban Rock Glamour has modernized their on screen styles for you. Let’s take a look:

Lisa Turtle:


If you loved the neon of the early ’90′s, you can follow Lisa’s lead in bright print dresses layered under more contemporary boyfriend blazers. If you’re too shy for full on patterns, go for a subtle outfit, stacking on technicolor bracelets or funky, chunky earrings:

Denise Huxtable:


This unsung fashionista made waves on the Cosby Show, rocking harem pants with confidence before their recent resurgence on runways. Bring her look to life in menswear inspired button downs and hats–sauce it up for fall in tall ankle boots and over the top accessories

Dionne “Dee” Davenport:


Black Mary Janes and pleated skirts are wardrobe classics, making it easy to channel Dee from the 1995 cult film Clueless. Go for uber preppy yet modern with pearls, stud earrings, and a Burberry check headband (knee high socks are optional)



Hilary Banks:


Primetime’s original Daddy’s Girl can live on today in black bouclé jackets set off by gold chunky bracelets and flower pins. Slip on a hat for true Fresh Prince of Bel-Air flair, or make your look ‘bankable’ in peep toe patent pumps.

Isabel Coates:


Stunt like a true Gossip Girl in Houndstooth coats toned down by black pencil skirts and demure headbands. Up the ante by adding a bright colored tote and patterned heels, keeping jewelry to a minimum.

Who’s your favorite on screen student?

Get the Look; Rihanna



Rihanna, wearing her newly red locks tucked under a black knit beanie, dared to wear the often-discouraged combination of black and blue. Looking at these photos, though, might make those naysayers change their minds!

Ms. R combined a sequined Opening Ceremony skirt (note the see-thru silk!) with a slouchy black sweater, blue ankle boots, and a brown clutch. The top half of her look is very Bonnie, as in Bonnie and Clyde, and the bottom half is very festive — in a way, reminiscent of a holiday party. (Surely I can’t be the only one counting down the days until winter break!)

Rihanna also was wearing a thin word necklace with a not-so-polite message – while maybe you shouldn’t rock the same word necklace at your family’s Thanksgiving dinner, a simple silver necklace can nonetheless be a cute addition to any outfit.

 

Outfit Inspired by Rihanna



As Rihanna shows us, a knit beret adds a cool touch to an outfit with fancy elements – in this case – an insane blue sequin skirt! This Coast Lana skirt (on the left) is a bit of a splurge, but it is an extremely intricate piece and has incredible movement, which is rare in sequined pieces. If you’re looking for something less pricey, I’ve also included a Forever 21 sequined mini on the right side, which is an awesome and more affordable alternative, and even directly incorporates black into the look.

On top, wear a slouchy black sweater, and rather than Rihanna’s less-than-nice message, spread some positivity with a “Love” word necklace! Blue ankle booties are not the easiest shoe to find, but these lace-up fold-over booties add a bit of a trendy edge to the look, and look much more expensive than they really are! A brown clutch finishes off the ensemble.
