Reviews

InStyle magazine hit newstands in 1994, committed to celebrity lifestyle, and gets most of the credit (or blame) for the current obsession with celebrities: where they live, where they vacation, what they eat, what they buy and especially what they wear. One of InStyle's most popular sections is "The Look"—pages of celebrity photos shot at fabulous parties and award events, with captions crediting their designer duds. But along the way, InStyle also became a premier fashion magazine, with the idea of bringing the fabulous to the many. This book by the editors offers a season-by-season guide to dressing well in all situations and being, well, in style. The coverage is entertaining, with much-photographed women like Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, Oprah and Jennifer Aniston providing examples for "know your own shape" (Are you slender and petite like Eva Longoria? Small-busted like Kate Hudson?) and how best to dress for your age (68-year-old-Jane Fonda showing how it's done for her decade). There are sections on editing your wardrobe, putting outfits together, essential lingerie, checklists and worksheets, and even an index of stores throughout the country. The result is a terrific-looking book with helpful hints in a useful and entertaining format, a perfect encapsulation of everything the magazine does month after month. (Oct. 24)
