How to Shop Like Kathy Griffin

How to Shop Like Kathy Griffin



Kathy Griffin is best known for her biting wit in making fun of celebrities. She branched out from stand-up comedy with a part on a 1990s NBC sitcom followed by a stint as a red-carpet correspondent on E! She parlayed her self-assigned status as a "D-list celebrity" into an Emmy Award-winning reality show. Her fashion tastes vary widely, giving you many options when shopping like Kathy Griffin.









Step
1



Opt for darker, solid color schemes when imitating her on-stage look. While doing stand-up, Kathy generally dresses in a solid dark color, usually black, but sometimes dark brown and occasionally navy. She usually wears a long-sleeved tailored

blouse


on stage, darts up the back and bodice to hug her petite frame, unbuttoned to about the bra line so that she looks comfortable and feminine but not too buttoned-up. Pants are form fitting with a slight flare at the ankle.




Step
2



Add a jacket or little single-button

sweater


(like a shrug) to the look in Step 1 for a little added color and variety. Kathy is seldom seen on stage in a jacket, but wears them for TV appearances and to more casual premieres and parties. Her jackets run the gamut from a suede look to plaid to velvet to shimmery crocheted looks--whatever adds fun to her look.




Step
3



Think heels when it comes to shoes. The 5-foot-4-inch Griffin usually opts for platform-style shoes to add height to her petite, size-6 frame. When knocking around Hollywood or at home, though, she opts for stylish athletic or casual wear.




Step
4



Try to find bargains wherever you can. Kathy is said to have sneezed loudly when in one of the more expensive stores with stylist Robert Verdi, saying, "I'm allergic to paying full price!" Even her favorite jeans, Cache, aren't the priciest brand and won't kill your budget.




Step
5



Adopt the "anything goes" attitude when dressing for formal occasions, but make sure your formal wear is colorful. Kathy considers Chanel to be her favorite designer, but wears other designers like Sue Wong who give or loan her clothes for TV and red-carpet appearances. Kathy doesn't always get raves on her style choices when out on the town, but she certainly goes all out with bright colors or shiny fabrics in gold or silver. Her formal wear also tends to accentuate her petite, toned and shapely figure.




Step
6



Accessorize like Kathy Griffin by keeping earrings small if you wear them at all. Kathy rarely wears earrings, unless they are small, tasteful pearl or gemstone creations, but does opt for pretty chains with gemstones or beads in colors that complement what she's wearing. Belts are usually either the same color as her solid-color outfit when on stage, yet lean more toward brighter, more fun styles when she's at a movie premiere, party or making a talk-show appearance.
