The Death of Style: We'll Always Have Paris
In her subscribers-only newsletter editorial titled "Take out the White Trash," Lookonline's entertainment editor Diane Clehane gets lost nostalgic for the 90's, when celebrity fashion icons were of the likes of Princess Diana and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy.

Fast forward to summer 2005.
Our cover girls are Paris, Lindsay and Britney.
We pour over stories about a woman who first became famous thanks to a sex tape, cluck about a teenage starlet s public battles with her father and her rapidly shrinking frame, and snicker at a clueless young singer whose frequently profane musings (Just check out her interview in Allure) on life and love have more in common with a high schooler playing house for a health class project than a young woman on the brink of motherhood. When we re not tracking those train wrecks in the making, we re studying the secrets of how to look like Mischa Barton with items that cost under $20 (Good luck with that). We await with baited breath Nicole Richie s biography (which will undoubtedly reveal how she lost that stubborn baby fat).
So tru— wait, Nicole Richie is working on a biography?! We can't wait! Hopefully she'll finally clarify those perfect diet tips we can't quite nail down, like her rail-to-weight loss formula. We thought it was one line for every .25 pound lost, but it hasn't been working for us and we're getting so frustrated...
