Fashion - July 2006

Celebrity Slumber Party - Pyjama Fashion

July 20th 2006 00:32
According to one of my readers, "PJ's are the best invention on earth!!!".I happen to agree - pyjamas are designed to be literally the comfiest garments available, since it's only practical to be comfortable when we sleep. Whether they're trendy or not is a hotly debated topic, but there appear to be tons of celebs willing to brave the controversy and wear them out in public, for example:

Sienna Miller candids (Star magazine)
Wow, Sienna looks so cosy here, buried in her pyjamas under that stylish coat! I, too, am a big fan of oversized pyjama bottoms riding low on my hips - when it comes to pyjamas, I'll pick saggy over snug any day.


Mandy Moore candids (Eastnews)
I think Mandy looks great, like the cutie pie girl next door. It seems many girls over here in California (where I'm currently holidaying) like the pyjamas-in-public look, and since it's summer, it's definitely warm enough to pull it off. I've taken to wearing my oversized pyjamas/boxers every day too.


Mischa Barton candids
(Olsenpapworld)
Mischa appears to have jumped on the celebrity Primp bandwagon with this Primp pony thermal set. Primp thermals have also been spotted on Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, and Paris Hilton, all of whom don them as outerwear. To me, they look more like pyjamas than actual pyjamas, but they're much more close-fitting.

Mary-Kate Olsen candids (JJB)
Mary-Kate's mixing up the pyjama look by wearing her PJ leggings with hot Christian Louboutin pumps (I love these shoes, I have the Tony Bianco copies)! The leggings don't look so much like actual pyjamas but I'd definitely wear them to bed or as thermal underwear, since they look less like footless tights (outerwear) and more like long-johns. In fact I wore leggings just like these as jammies when I was a kid. In the picture on the right I think she's wearing actual pyjama bottoms - it's shabby chic dahlings!

I find this trend of wearing pyjamas outside of the house quite liberating, and although it's by no means "chic" in the conventional sense of the word, I believe it'll only become more popular as more celebrities become bold enough to break the bedroom boundary.

Oh that is delightful isn't it.
I remember when celebrities used to do that and the tabloids just labeled them as tardy.
But they look so cute like this!

Don't know about Mischa and Mary-Kate, but in Sienna's and Mandy's cases, the tabloids still label them as tardy because they're quite obviously in pyjamas (but they do look so cute!!). I don't think they quite know what to make of Mischa and Mary-Kate so they just call them confused

I think Mischa's one looks most deliberate, the rest just look like they're hungover...
but they still look cute....=)

This designer (forgot who) said he was disappointed at celebrities now who don't care how they look in public when they go out, I suppose the trend is getting more obvious..

Yeah those Primp thermals are VERY deliberate...they're like the latest Hollywood trend

I think the fact that celebrities care less about how they look in public makes them more endearing and down-to-earth...I mean I know I can definitely relate easier to someone who's unafraid to be seen in their purple printed puppy pj's than someone who's dressed in high end designer gear (not that I don't appreciate it as fashion, I just can't relate cos I can't afford that stuff)

where I lived in China, it was fairly common for people to walk outside in the evenings in their pajamas... so relaxing...

and, I have to say, I think girls in PJs are ultra-hot...no makeup, au naturel...

Hehe, my grandpa did that when he was visiting from China! He couldn't understand why people were staring at him...

Yeah I've noticed guys seem to be really into PJs for some reason...is that cos they remind you of lingerie? Or is that only nighties...

it's because PJs are soft and invite big hugs. Plus, they make you look like you're ready for bed, which is where we want to be, too.
