Guess the Celebrities Behind the Clothing Lines

Think you know about celebrities and fashion? Try to guess which superstars provided the creative inspiration—and the cash—for the clothing lines pictured on the following pages. We’ve provided a few hints, but it still may be a challenge to match the rich and famous with the labels they launched. Good luck. By Amy Leigh Morgan

House of Harlow 1960

Nicole Richie Next Slide

The woman behind this hip brand spent her turbulent adolescence starring in a reality television show about spoiled socialites working low-wage service jobs. But after a highly publicized struggle with substance abuse and eating disorders, she's finally settled down with a baby and a successful business. In fact, you could say that she's taking it easy -- easy like Sunday morning. Her father must be so proud.

William Rast

Previous Slide Justin Timberlake Next Slide

This Tennessee-born heartbreaker first achieved world-wide stardom as the youngest member of a boy band back in the '90s. As the band's popularity waned, he brought sexy back with a wildly successful solo career, and then nimbly parlayed that success into an enviable acting career. He's also known for his gift-giving advice around holiday time -- he's got the perfect gift recommendation for everyone.

House of Deréon

Previous Slide Beyonce & Tina Knowles Next Slide

In some circles, it's an insult when someone says that your mama makes your clothes. But for this wildly successful mother-daughter team, Mom's glamorous designs were the perfect complement to her daughter's bootylicious curves. Mom's crowning glory? The knock-'em-dead wedding dress she designed when her daughter's famous beaux finally got serious enough to put a ring on it.

Twenty8Twelve

Previous Slide Sienna Miller Next Slide

At one point this British rose was known as much for her turbulent love life as for her brilliant acting. While her tempestuous relationship with an older, bad-boy superstar kept her on the front pages of the tabloids, her seemingly effortless boho-chic style earned her a place in the pages of the fashion magazines. Andy Warhol would most certainly have approved.

The Row

Previous Slide Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Next Slide

These tiny, reclusive sisters made so much money in the '80s and '90s that they never have to work again -- which makes their transformation into well-respected fashion designers all the more admirable. Still can't guess? We'll give you one more hint: One of the two sisters has just moved in with her boyfriend (the brother of the former French PM) and his eleven-year-old daughter. You might say she's got a full house now.

L.A.M.B.

Previous Slide Gwen Stefani Next Slide

This fierce pop star proved early on that she's more than just a girl -- she's a beautiful hit machine with a killer sense of style. She and her band burst onto the scene in the '90s with infectious, ska-influenced pop songs that were unapologetically feminist. Now she has two kids with a handsome, famous musician and seems utterly content. Success story? No doubt about it.

Sweetface

Previous Slide Jennifer Lopez Next Slide

This beautiful lady is not only credited with bringing the derriere back in style, she was the first person in history to simultaneously have a number one album and a number one movie at the box office. But she's almost as famous for the men she's loved as for her music and movies. Among her exes: P. Diddy and Ben Affleck.

Rocawear

Previous Slide Jay-Z Next Slide

This high-school dropout couldn't get a record deal with a major label, so he teamed up with two buddies to form his own label and put out his first album -- which went platinum. Named the top MC of all time by MTV, this superachiever is now worth more than $450 million and married to someone else on this list. He credits his success to hard work, but we think it might be due to his New York state of mind.

MG Icon

Previous Slide Madonna Next Slide

Recognized as the world's all-time best-selling female artist by Guinness World Records, this iconic talent has been in vogue since 1983. Before she was celebrated by Jean-Paul Gaultier and Dolce & Gabbana, she single-handedly popularized black rubber bracelets, wedding dresses, lace gloves, and blonde hair with black roots. Have you guessed yet? One more hint: she's known to some in her inner circle as Esther.

Bitten

Previous Slide Sarah Jessica Parker Next Slide

How does it feel to be married to Ferris Bueller? Just ask this woman, known in some circles as the face that launched a thousand pairs of Jimmy Choos. Although she won four Golden Globes for her work in a smash hit HBO series, her biggest role yet might be her upcoming turn on "Glee."

    Met Gala: The best theme dressing throughout the years

    Each spring we look forward to the opulent red-carpet display that takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala and the dresses that will grace its steps the first Monday in May. The evening is never short on grandeur, but there’s always a few artistically minded guests who go the extra mile and dress with the year’s exhibit wholeheartedly in mind—donning a look that not only impresses but more than tips its perfectly considered hat to the theme. From Hamish Bowles’ tartan tuxedo in homage to Alexander McQueen to Kate Moss in a gold-lame Marc Jacobs frock and matching turban embodying the concept of Model as Muse, we pay tribute to those who creatively and elegantly elevate the dress code.
