David Beckham Has Taken Over the World!!!

His full name is David Robert Joseph Beckham, but he's known in the UK as Becks, and in the US as David Beckham...the Soccer Savior. He was born in London, and lived there until he signed with Manchester United at age 17. Since then, his soccer (football) accolades are beyond stellar, and now he's been summoned to save soccer in the United States.

Beckham's new deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy is so lucrative, he now has the highest salary of any MLS player in history! Even more, his numerous contracts and endorsements have made him, along with his fabulous wife Victoria and their kids some very wealthy individuals. That is, wealthy and stylish. I know I usually write about stylish females, but David Beckham deserves a special mention because I truly believe that he's one of the trendiest men in the world. Not only is he stylish, but his look is very versatile. I've seen him with long hair, short hair, no hair, a mohawk, etc. and he still maintains a devilishly handsome look at all times.

For example, here he is in a casual-dressy look with a simple white button-down shirt, a chocolate brown Armani sportcoat, topped off with a very chic scarf. I'm not gonna lie, VERY few men out there can pull this look off without seeming pretentious, so I think it goes without saying that Becks has the gift of impeccable style.

$699.00


Here he is again looking casual, yet refined in a navy blue polo shirt, khakis, aviators, and an Omega watch. This ensemble truly shows that very often, less is more. He isn't trying too hard to look flashy, yet he's still presentable to the ever-present paparazzi.

$4,249.00

I've already mentioned what I believe to be Beckham's best asset...his hair. He changes that hair as often as I change handbags...

Rihanna...She Only Needs One Name.

Her full name is actually Robyn Rihanna Fenty, but she's simply known to us all as Rihanna. She's only 20 years old and she's already won over 40 awards for her music! She was born in Barbados, where she grew up singing and perfecting her art. At the age of 15, she received her biggest break when a producer heard her music, passed it along the industry, and into Jay-Z's lap. He then signed her onto Def Jam Records, which has been her label ever since.

Although Rihanna is known as a musician, I really feel that it's her bold style that's truly revolutionary. Whether it's the hair, the shoes, the clothes, or the makeup, Rihanna's style is always memorable (for good reasons). If there's one thing I've noticed in terms of her red carpet attire, it's that shorter and tighter is better. The majority of the dresses she appears in are babydoll or body-hugging, form-fitting minis.

For example, here she is in a white Dolce & Gabbana babydoll at the MTV VMA's.



...And here she is at the BET Awards, again in white, but this time it's a sizzling Hervé Léger.



However, although Rihanna seems to favor minis, she can look just as dazzling and sexy in a floor-length gown. Case in point, this hot pink Armani Prive made her stand out at the MTV VMA's red carpet, which is becoming harder and harder to do.



Here she is in Chloe sunglasses sporting the shades+fedora trend.

$300.00

Not only does she wear glamorous attire, her hair and makeup adds to her style. Here, her dark red lips and cat eyes evoke a sense of old-Hollywood glitz.

She even jumped on the shorter-than-sort hair bandwagon waayyyy before Katie Holmes.

Even when she's not decked out in full red-carpet swank, Rihanna knows how to look trendy. Here she is in a navy button-down sweater, dark skinny jeans, metallic Michael Kors flats, and a metallic handbag.
