B2 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday A pril 30, 2003 French Footwear? Oui! S PIII \ li F it S IIIII Easy style tips to help you look like a star (NAPSA)-If you're one o f those people who wonder how Hollywood stars get that glam look, then you've come to the right place. Part o f the answer is that " stars" have plenty o f people on the payroll to make them look great. And let's face it, Hollywood celebrities start with great genes. But the good news is that there are some basic behind-the-scenes steps that anyone can take to look Oscar-worthy. From whiter, brighter teeth to the perfect pedicure, here are simple ways for anyone to look Hollywood-ready: Once a week, apply conditioner to your hair and let it set overnight. It can get a little messy, but the result is a sleeker, healthier "do" that has bounce. If the idea o f sleeping in conditioner is unappealing, simply apply conditioner to hair for at least an hour weekly. The natural makeup look is back, so living healthy is even more important to your appear ance. Take a cue from natural beauties like Jennifer Connelly and drink 64 ounces o f water each day to keep your skin looking pure. You should also safeguard your skin by applying a moisturizer with SPF sunscreen protection daily. Make the most o f your body type by wear ing clothes that flatter your best assets. The key to looking stunning in an outfit is to wear the right size and fit for your personal body type. You may love that Versace knockoff, but if your nor mal size 8 feels a little snug, don't hesitate to grab that size 10. J Don't overdo any kind o f fashion statement or trend. Style-forward trends look best when paired with another classic piece o f clothing. This rule applies to jewelry, too. M ix an antique or estate jewelry piece with an ensemble from any era and you'll achieve a less forced look. Make the most o f your next pedicure or open-toe shoe purchase. Moisturize and exfoliate your feet regularly with a pumice stone you can find at any drug- store. With regular use, you w ill notice a marked improvement in the appearance o f your feet.

Rock stars and the costumes they sport in their videos? Macho action movie stars? Tommy Hilfiger? Then you may be surprised that the hottest influence around today is a former game show host. Television icon Regis Philbin, formerly o f Who Wants To Be A M illionaire? fame, has spawned a fashion rage that continues to build. It seems that men everywhere have been looking for a shirt and tie combination that doesn't beg the question, " Do these go together?" Drawn from a monochromatic palette o f colours, the shin and tie o f exactly matching colour need only a well-cut jacket or suit to create a look that is both sophisticated and practical. They are most often found in muted shades of green, gold, purple and burgundy, which also lends a seasonal choice to the wearer. And since they are solid colours, the soft tones can usually be mixed and matched with success by even the most fashion-challenged male. Various fabrics are available to separate the casual from the dressier styles. From cotton blends to fine silk, they can adapt to any occa sion and budget. For a non-tie event, men can still take a lip from Hollywood and opt for the classy silk or wool long-sleeve. crew neck shirt worn under a sport coat or with a suit. The popular colours, regardless o f the sea son, are black, navy and deep charcoal. A high-waisted or pleated pair o f slacks defines this overall concept, and a pair o f soft black leather loafers completes it. The parameters o f " office casual" continue to be refined and have come a long way since denim shirts with cotton ties were popular. ITie tie itself has become more optional, and a well-tailored silk or silk-blend shirt is accept able, but best when dressed up with a person al monogram or a pair o f cufflinks. - M ulti-Ad Services Itoautiful * lla n d iT iifltfd Clothing nitra tion s iiiilm lril Custom rillin g inrludri Look great in figure flattering fashions (N A P S )-It figures.
