I have a bone to pick. Let's be honest here. Celebrities have millions of dollars, the best stylists, free swag, and amazing makeup artists at their disposal. Yet, for some reason, some of them refuse to dress their age. Let's take a look at some of the worst past and current offenders.

Celebs who don't dress their age

Name: Kim Cattrall
Age: 51
Offense: She doesn't need to continuously remind us that she has an amazing body by showing off way more of it than we want to see. We know, Kim, we know. You look better than most 20 year olds. We realize that. You don't need to keep rubbing it in our faces. I'm not asking that you dress like a grandma; I'm just asking that you stop dressing like a grandma who wants to steal her daughter's 25 year old boyfriend!

Although, to be fair, Kim only gets it wrong on occasion. There are other starlettes that I'm far more concerned about.



Name: Hayden Panettiere
Age: 18
Offense: Hayden dresses like a high powered business woman who's been working in the firm long enough to be gunning for partner by now. Sweetie, we realize that you are dating someone who is only 6 years away from being exactly double your age. And yes, we totally understand why you are breaking the age boundaries of romance. Milo Ventimiglia is gorgeous. But, please stop breaking the age boundaries of fashion. You are 18! There's plenty of time for high waists and harsh red lipstick later on in life! Save the cheerleader's wardrobe, save the world. Sorry, I had to.

Hayden is old enough to wear short skirts and not make us uncomfortable...which brings me to our next offender.


Name: Miley Cyrus
Age: 15
Offense: We all get uncomfortable when we see Miley Cyrus prancing around in tiny skirts, with crazy big hair extensions, eye liner so thick it looks like it was drawn on with a black Crayola magic marker, thigh high boots and see through tops. This little girl is 15. Grown men catch themselves thinking she's hot and then freak out when they realize that she's jail-bait masquerading as a pre-rehab Lindsay Lohan. At the launch of Nicole Khristine's 2008 Spring Collection Miley was no less than 2 inches away from giving us an up-skirt. Where is Billy Ray and why isn't he putting a stop to this madness?!? My achy breaky heart can't take much more of his daughter's wardrobe.

And last, but not least, is the most famous Scientology victim in the world. Jonathon has talked about this before, but I just couldn't leave her off my list. She makes it too easy.

Name: Katie Holmes
Age: 29
Offense: I love Katie Holmes, and I know she is now considered a fashion icon. So don't crucify me for saying this -- She dresses like a very hip, very hot, 75 year old woman. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I do like Katie's outfits. But for the most part she just looks like she is trying too hard to play the part of a Stepford wife. She's 29 years old, she has so much money she could fill a swimming pool with it and then take an afternoon dip in hundred dollar bills if she wanted to. So why isn't she out there collecting a wardrobe that would make all the other twenty something celebrity ladies jealous? Instead, most of the time when I see her, I think to myself, "That outfit would look amazing...on 58 year old Meryl Streep!" Katie has legs that go on for miles, and a husband who is more than willing to buy her love. That should be a recipe for fashion success but somehow the formula has gone wrong.
