Chloe: Boys & Girls are continuously influenced by “Glam” celebs who are constantly snapped by the “paparazzi” and are scrutinised and admired for every tracksuit, red carpet dress and performing outfit they have ever worn. The question is just how much are teens inspired by these looks and what lengths do they go to dress like their idols.

(on the word tracksuit an image of Lily Allen appears, red carpet dress image of Cheryl Cole appears, performing outfit image of Gaga appears.)

Chloe: During this programme we will be examining today’s most talked about and stylish fashonistas. (camera on me)

Straight cut to (video clip of Cheryl – Fight for this love)

Voice of God commentary over music videos.

Chloe: Cheryl Cole has been one of the most talked about celebs since becoming a judge on X Factor, she has become a teenage idol for teen girls today, starring in adverts endorsing Loreal products which has seen sales rocket by 15%.

(Switch to Christina Aguleira clip)

Chloe: Christina Aguleira from teenage sweetheart to “Dirty seductress”, to sophisticated diva, has used her hardhitting lyrics to gain fans especially the anthem “Beautiful” is telling us “to be comfortable in the skin your in, and to love who you are.” Her image reflects her music most recently her futuristic/pop art influence with her new hit single Glam. This girl has become and icon as she is constantly re-inventing her image and her fans follow her trend in every look she creates.

(Switch to Gaga clip)

Chloe: Lady Gaga is the most recent controversial artist to hit the music industry. Her obscure fashion sense has created both admiration and alienation from people worldwide. Everywhere she goes the first thing they notice is what she’s wearing good or bad from her post-it note dress on Jonathan Ross to her lace ensemble at the VMA’S.

(Switch to clip of Lily Allen)

Chloe: Lily Allen is well known for her relaxed image, her trademark performing outfit is usually a dress co-existing with white trainers, however through the years Lily has grown up having released a clothing line with New Look and recently becoming the face of Chanel.

(Switch to clip of Pixie Lott)

Chloe: Pixie Lott is new on the scene and is a rising fashion icon, being a teenager herself the looks that she creates are both affordable and with the “now”. Pixie Lott has stayed true to her highstreet roots of Topshop, H&M, Miss Selfridge and others. She has become a fast icon as teen girls can easily recreate her look.

(Switch to clip of Victoria Beckham)

Chloe: Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice, Victoria has been a big influence on the fashion industry being part of the brand “Rock & Republic” launching her own jean range with them. She has also done many fashion shoots some of which include fronting the cover of Vogue, the infamous Armani shoot and she has recently launched her own clothing line.

Chloe: (camera on me) these six ladies are just a select few celebrities who influence our teens wardrobes and hairstyles, but how much do they influence our teens? Do some girls like to set their own trends and have their own individual style? Have some girls re-created a look by a celebrity but never normally follow there trends? Or are some girls so obsessed by celebrities and their styles that they go to extremes to look like them? I think it’s time to meet a group of teenage girls and let’s here there views on celebrity trends… (jump out of shot)
