Occupation: Singer-songwriter
Quote: "Even before I go into the recording studio or to the piano to write a song, I put on an outfit that reflects my mood and what I want to express creatively. My mother is a huge influence on my fashion sensibility, and most of my favorite pieces come from her closet -- like beautiful vintage Missoni and Dolce and Gabbana, and some incredible jewelry."
Occupation: Host, Bravo's Watch What Happens Live
Quote: "I love a nice suit and classic tailoring, but mixing it up with color. I'm a huge tie person, I've got hundreds of them. And I've become quite a shoe lover in the past year -- I love Jimmy Choo. I didn't know they made men's shoes but he does -- they're great."
Occupation: Actress and best-selling author
Quote: "My style is ever-evolving and eclectic. I love to shop in New York -- everywhere from Jeffrey to Century 21." Her favorite treasures? "A coral and diamond ring that once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, and a champagne satin scarf my daughter sewed for me."
Occupation: Supermodel
Quote: "I have my more casual Hamptons clothes, and my Manhattan 'you're going to be photographed' wardrobe. It's almost like role-playing. In the Hamptons I love shopping at Ralph Lauren, and in the city I love my Barneys! And [my daughter] Alexa drags me to all of her favorite shops downtown."
Occupation: Actor, Fox's upcoming Us & Them
Quote: "There's a random, pot luck element to my shopping style, and I just trust my instincts. I surprise myself when I come home with a new shirt I saw at Bird in Brooklyn, or a pair of Balenciaga high tops that were on sale in France. Sometimes I'll see what a character I'm playing is wearing, and if they look good then I'll steal my character's style. Mark Cyr in Parenthood dressed much better than I do."
Occupation: Beyonce's creative consultant, who just launched his own agency Taste Atelier.
Quote: "I'm not afraid to take risks with style. Beyonce and I challenge each other to think outside the box. I like to be comfortable and very classic, but with an edge. Even in a t-shirt and jeans, you always need to look cool."
Occupation: Cohost, ABC's The View
Quote: "I love that I can actually wear cool outfits and stroll about the city, and not do the California sweatpants thing. I'd say my style is more conservative and classic if you can believe it. I'll be the Michael Kors girl on The View for sure."
Occupation: The trio has new album, V, and a North American concert tour this fall
Quote: "We all talk together about what we wear, but at the end of the day, each one of us has a different kind of style that influences the others," says Kevin. "We all have an individual voice when it comes to fashion." Adds Nick, of a favorite wardrobe staple: "I think there's no better feeling as a man than to suit it all the way up or put on a tux. It's a really classy look and never goes out of style."
Occupation: Celebrity stylist to Jay Z, Mary J. Blige and Alicia Keys. Designs a line of shoes for HSN and eyewear with Selima Optique. Her YouTube channel, Juniverse, launches next month.
Quote: "I'm daring and I like to have fun with fashion, mixing classic pieces with edgy, quirky shoes or eyeglasses that add some sass."
Occupation: Supermodel
Quote: "I get excited walking around New York and shopping for everything, whether it's a great piece of clothing or an ice cream maker! I like J. Crew, Topshop, and Curve on Bond St. And I just bought an amazing white leather jacket at Trash and Vaudeville, a vintage store in the East Village!"
Occupation: Cohost, Live with Kelly and Michael
Quote: "Back in the day, I used to go to the Big & Tall store, and now I wear a lot of Calvin Klein and John Varvatos -- and I'm no stranger to the sales rack at Barneys. But my favorite item of clothing is my jersey from the Super Bowl when we beat the Patriots in '07. It's framed in my house, with the Gatorade, sweat and grass stains still on it."
Occupation: Actor, comedian, musician, producer, host of America's Got Talent and Wild N' Out.
Quote: "I've always been a student of fashion and stay on point with trends, but I love to do it my own way. I never follow anyone else. Everything I wear has to make a statement. I like to be flashy and classy. I've always appreciated [my wife] Mariah's fabulousness. This is one of those things that we have in common and can relate with one another on."
Occupation: Actress, appears on crime drama Perception on TNT, and created the Sanctuary at Two Rivers yoga retreat in Costa Rica.
Quote: "Because fashion is so much a part of New York City, the kinds of clothes I wear here are more edgy and risk-taking. It's a great way to express myself creatively."
Occupation: Anchor, ABC's Good Morning America
Quote: "Working on a morning show, we inspire what a lot of women will wear that day. While Diane Sawyer just rolls out of bed looking stylish, I'm no different than any other woman who has no idea what to wear, so thank God for my stylist Diandre Tristan! I know the DVF and Chiara Boni dresses in my closet that will always look fabulous on me, but he can pick things out that may look terrible on a hanger but look great on air."
Occupation: Costar, Bravo's Million Dollar Listing: NY
Quote: "I prefer a British, more tailored, form-fitting suit. My style is James Bond, the Daniel Craig version," says Serhant, pictured here wearing Mezlan shoes. "New York is the fashion capital of the world, so if you’re going to be wearing a suit all day, then spend the money."
Occupation: Fitness guru and owner of Tracy Anderson Method Studios in NYC, L.A. and London. Currently filming a TV and a digital show with Ryan Seacrest Productions.
Quote: "I like clothes that are complimentary of the body -- sexy and daring, but with a classic, beautiful cut. I don't care how gorgeous the piece is, if it's not comfortable it won't work. And as long as you feel really good in your body, fashion becomes so much more fun."
