Young Hollywood

Welcome to Young Hollywood. Tatiana here at the UK Style by French Connection event. Let's go catch up with some of your favorite celebs.

Young Hollywood

So, we're at an event centered around fashion. How would you describe your fashion sense?

Carmen Electra

I mean, I love getting all dressed up. I mean, I love heels, but I think one thing people wouldn't know about me is that I love sneakers and I collect really cool sneakers that I come stumble upon through traveling.

Young Hollywood

If you were to pick a designer that would dress you for the rest of your life, you just pick one, who would it be? I know that's the toughie.

Carmen Electra

For the rest of my life? Chanel, of course, because Yeah, I think you can grow with, it's so, it is so classic, you can grow with it and do you have any with, with style.

Young Hollywood

Do you have any French Connection clothes? We're at the French Connection UK Style party. Do you ever wear their stuff?

Carmen Electra

I'm wearing French Connection dress right now.

Young Hollywood

Obviously, animal print is uh what's happening tonight. You look gorgeous.

Carmen Electra

Thank you.

Young Hollywood

And any fashion advice to give future fashionistas like yourself?

Carmen Electra

Um, make sure that you buy pieces that can always be switched around, that can be dressed up and down. You know, uh don't don't think that just because something's really expensive that that means you have to have it or that it means more, it doesn't. You can find the same thing at a goodwill, because that's mostly where designers take their inspiration from anyway, from old pieces.

Young Hollywood

So it's pretty funny what happened on the carpet, I know you've talked about it a thousand times but for the people who didn't see.

Carmen Electra

Oh yes. Nicky Hilton and I showed up in the same dress.

Young Hollywood

But that's okay because you guys are buddy.

Carmen Electra

We are buddies. I think it's fun. I think it's fun to see how different people wear the same thing, you know.

Young Hollywood

And you guys totally did wear it differently. She had her belt on.

Carmen Electra

I mean, I did the more like edgy, modern take. I did the more '60s elegant take, you know? Yeah. And they're both great.

Young Hollywood

So do you wear French Connection?

Jaime King

I do. I do actually. I do a lot. I love their clothes. I think they're wonderful because they're they're fun and they're youthful, but they're tailored really well and they're elegant and classy, but they've got spunk to them. They're affordable. And they're attainable.

Jaime King

Hi, I'm Jamie King and thank you for watching Young Hollywood.
