Leather and the color pink, those are the two things that sum up the look of Claire Standish. The popular girl wore plenty of both and while her outfit may have been expensive, these days you can score some similar items for relatively cheap. You don’t even need to wear real diamonds.

Freddy Krueger may know when you’re sleeping and when you’re awake but he’s no Santa Claus. With biting wit, he manipulates his victim’s dreams making everyone afraid to fall asleep.

Derek Zoolander isn’t the smartest crayon in the box but who needs brains when you have looks? When he’s not strutting his stuff on the catwalk, the fashion model is usually wearing solid colored designer suits.

Male model Hansel McDonald gave Derek Zoolander a run for his money when he strutted into the fashion world in his fringed leather jacket.
