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.

I love US Weekly...
I love the magazine itself, so I loved just being nosey and checking out what everyone was wearing.
The Ideal Fashion Book
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.
At last!
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!
