Ramiele Malubay, please let American Idol stylist Miles Siggins help
Filed under: Celebrities with Style
This Sunday, like the rest of America, we enjoyed the infectious humor and gentle insights of Walter Scott's Personality Parade in Parade Magazine. And we learned something very interesting. One poor man, Miles Siggins, aka Mr. Miles, is responsible for styling all those kids on American Idol.This was exciting because of a recent a discussion with a dear friend and fellow Idol-follower. We were trying to figure out why, Why, WHY someone doesn't put that cute Ramiele Malubay in something besides painted-on skinny jeans. Young Lady! You're on a TV competition, trying to be the new Christina Aguilera, not interviewing for a cashier's job at Walmart. Put on a dress! Or at least get some pants that fit.
It turns out we can't blame this on Mr. Miles, because he can only take them shopping and exert influence. The kids have the final, sometimes tragic, say. In a 2006 Entertainment Weekly interview he admitted he was powerless to stop Sanjaya. At least he tried.
We're sending out this heartfelt, personal plea to Ramiele:
Trust this man. He's a professional. He's styled Hanson and they're big stars. Or they were. And Jewel. Big success. Probably has a comeback scheduled for any day now. And if that's not enough, he was the stylist for the reality TV classic Rockstar: Supernova!
Okay, as we list his clients, we can see where maybe Mr. Miles wouldn't seem totally relevant to a 20 year old like you. But give him a chance. He's helped others overcome big obstacles, like giving Melinda a neck.
Just remember, Simon Cowell might not be a big fan of your ballads, but he is always a sucker for a cute outfit.
Good luck! We love you!

I totally disagree with your comments!
Ramiele is only 4'11” and, if you have not noticed, her legs are a little thick. She looks great in tight jeans. When she wears outfits that do not compliment her figure, similar to the outfit worn 2 weeks ago, it makes her look chubby and dumpy.
I have worked in retail merchandising for well over 18 years, including 8 years at Limited Brands and Victoria's Secret. I seriously question your opinion about fashion/style as well as the individual that has done a horrible job at coordinating her outfits.
What is your employment history? Have you ever worked in the fashion industry? Do you know anything about fashion?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, John. I have to agree, she does look pretty cute in the skinny jeans.
My point is similar to what Simon said to Carly -- it's a competition, and your image is part of it. I'd love to see Ramiele in something more glamorous and "star" like, something that showcases her.
For everyday wear, her jeans and the great boots she pairs them with, are terrific on her and perfect for a trip to any suburban mall.
