Yes, Paris Hilton might be responsible for your style.

You may not know it, but many of your favorite styles and fashions can be traced to Hollywood. 

With the overwhelming exposure celebrities receive through websites, blogs, entertainment magazines, movies and tv shows, many have become a walking advertisement for everything from clothes to accessories to hair styles. Driving many fashion names to the mainstream.

Fashion in Hollywood is big business. This is evident at virtually every red carpet award show.  A segment of the pre-show is always dedicated   soley to celebrity fashion. As if you could ever forget the nasally running commentary by Joan Rivers and her slightly less annoying daughter, Melissa.

These red carpet events made the name Vera Wang commonplace.  They made big names, like Versace, even bigger (thanks to the Green Versace see-through dress J.Lo wore to the 42nd annual Grammys).

While most of us will never wear any of these ultra expensive designer dresses, many of our general fashions copy the trends started by celebrities.

The oversized glasses ala Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson, Posh Spice and a slew of other celebrities.

The Manohlo Blahniks that became a household name thanks to Sex and The City.

The Giant Hoop earrings made famous by J.Lo.

The gold grill made famous by Flavor Flav (just kidding).

Celebrity fashion is extremely popular, but it takes a distant second to celebrity hairstyles. 

Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez have changed the way millions of women style their hair.  They are both credited with making the Sedu flat iron and sedu hairstyle an absolute must have.

So next time you look in the mirror, and like your hair or your clothes, you should probably be thankful to some Hollywood A-Lister.
