We see them on T.V. and at the movies, hear them on the radio and read about them in magazines. They are the actresses, musicians, teen queens and socialites that influence our fashion styles everyday.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Amanda Bynes, Gwen Stefani, Sean (Diddy) Combs, JLo, Hilary Duff, Jay-Z and Nicky Hilton have all joined the trend of celebrities- turned-designers in recent years.

BITTEN- Sarah Jessica Parker line, was launched in August of 2007. Parker's fashionista style is clearly shown in her line, which can be purchased at Steve & Barry's stores across the country. BITTEN is more affordable for women, nothing sells for more than $19.98. Parker states on BITTEN's Web site, "It is every woman's inalienable right to have a pulled-together stylish, confident wardrobe with money left over to live." Parker's line includes apparel, shoes and intimates.

Dear- Amanda Bynes clothing line, dear, is sold exclusively at Steve & Barry's stores and again nothing is priced over $19.98. Bynes' line is features fun and colorful apparel as well as accessories and handbags. Dear is best suited for women in their mid-to-late teens and early 20s.

L.A.M.B.- Launched by Gwen Stefani in 2004. It is a direct fashion statement of Stefani's personal style, funky yet sophisticated. Stefani's line includes a variety of women's handbags, clothes, shoes and accessories. L.A.M.B. clothes are a little pricey for the average person, ranging in price from $65 for graphic tees to $395 for dresses.

Simply Vera- Vera Wang just took the plunge from designing lavish wedding gowns to designing everyday clothing that is sold exclusively to Kohl's department stores. Simply Vera is a step down from her usual wedding gown designs, but it is made for comfort and reasonably priced. Simply Vera features apparel, sleepwear and accessories.

William Rast- Justin Timberlake recruited his best friend Trace Alaya to start label William Rast. William Rast is vintage-inspired clothing for men and women.
