Cory Kennedy and the Style Paradox

Internet homecoming queen Cory Kennedy snags this month’s cover of Jalouse, but her photo poses an odd question:
Are there some people who look better dressed down?
Though Cory’s beauty is hotly debated on various blogs, we’ve always thought she was stunning – in part due to her shards of makeup, slivers of designer accessories, and shreds of denim that she pulls into an outfit.
Add professional hair, makeup, and wardrobe into the mix, and Cory just looks like another gorgeous girl.
But it’s the personality she infuses into her runny eyeliner and scorched skin that makes it really magical.
Take that away, and the cover line – which translates into, “Who Knows Cory Kennedy?” – means something totally different – in that photo, we didn’t recognize her at all.

Hilarious. Dress like a down trodden piece of shit in “designer” pieces, be photograph by the ever so annoying and creepy cobrasnake and you’re ~omg~ a fashion icon. Please. I’ve seen homeless people more sass than this girl. & like someone else said this must be a psychotic synapses a la jerry lewis phase for the pretentious french fashionistas. they turn there noses at our fashion rags yet put the stupidest on jalouse. or is it a joke we’re unaware of?
i also am confused by the praise she gets as if she’s the hipster Gloria Steinam for some yet unknown and bizzare cause. is brushing your hair overrated? is “being yourself” such a new and monumental concept? is she giving empowerment to the girls of America who are not attractive? ….

she isn’t perfect. she isn’t beautiful (and doesn’t fake it like so many others who slather on gallons of shitty makeup everyday). and she doesn’t wear matchy matchy outfits. but so what? she has personal style that people enjoy and emulate. i completely agree that she looks better without all that makeup and wardrobe. she has one of the most interesting faces without a thing on it.
