Paramore frontvixen Hayley Williams has got a signature style that is tough and edgy but also just girly enough to remind everybody which chromosomes she carries. With a multitude of kids (and Paramore fans) headed back to school this week, Williams dropped some knowledge via her LiveJournal (how 2003 of her!) about her favorite lines and styles. She cited Dogpile as her favorite line (because it was worn by members of AFI and Brody Dalle). That green vest from the "Ignorance" video? That's from Dogpile, according to Williams. She also gives shout-outs to Katy Perry and Lucille Ball as style inspirations and notes that the dress she wore at last year's MTV Video Music Awards came from this boutique. But right at the end, she raises a glass to Miley Cyrus' Wal-Mart line. "Don't forget about Miley's clothing line in Wal-Mart. Dead. Serious," she wrote. "Good quality tees and tanks ... and if you're brave enough, there are some more daring items in the line." Highlights of the Cyrus clothing line (with an assist from Max Azria) include leopard-print leggings, T-shirts with built-in vests and some cool-looking faux-flannels (in case you want to stage your own remake of "Singles").
Williams is less helpful with her suggestions for her male fans. "As for the dudes, you're on your own," she wrote. "Band merch is almost always a good idea. Cheap too!"
No matter what Williams is wearing, it better be durable, because as soon as her band's new album brand new eyes comes out on September 29, she will once again be in demand everywhere. In the meantime, the group is currently in the United Kingdom for a show this weekend before starting their proper U.S. tour when their album drops at the end of the month.
