Celebrities they have stylists, a wealth of designer clothes and nothing much else to think about apart from what they look like.
Yet some of them still leave the house resembling Britney dressed as well, Britney.
Blue and green not being seen and never wearing brown in town are outdated fashion laws that dont apply nowadays but our famous folk are obviously in desperate need of some guidance.
So, always happy to help stars in need, we present our new style rules.
Ignore them at your peril...
NEVER EVER WEAR SMART SHOES WITHOUT SOCKS
MEMO to David Cameron: If it's warm enough for no socks, it's warm enough for summer footwear - not just your work shoes with bare feet.
It's not just ugly, it's also going to lead to painful rubbing... which is actually some consolation in this case.
He might be ruining our country but at least he's probably got some really sore blisters.
SELF-PROMOTION? TAKE IT EASY
YES, it's clever to get the thing you're promoting into every photo taken of you that day. And, yes, you need to stand out to get attention for whatever you're flogging.
But if you take it this far, no one will talk about your product, just what a state you looked.
Eh, Jordan?
NEVER WEAR A HAT THAT POINTS TO THE FACIAL FEATURE YOU'RE CURRENTlY HAVING ISSUES WITH
YES, I do mean you and your royal wedding attire, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
NEVER WEAR SOCKS WITH SANDALS
OOh, look at kooky Fearne Cotton, taking the old "men in socks and sandals" clich and giving it a post-modern fashion twist.
Except, unfortunately, those sweaty feet still look like an old man's.
NEVER TAKE YOUR HAIR INSPIRATION FROM THE SIMPSONS
THE Simpsons is a funny TV show that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It is NOT the place to find a style icon.
Marge simpson and sideshow Bob can't help it, they're drawn that way. Katy Perry and rihanna have no such excuses.
LEAVE IT TO GAGA
YOU can get away with wearing insane outfits if you're an artistic, pretentious, style maverick like Lady Gaga.
But if you're just Leona Lewis, a bland, middleof the road balladeer who rose to fame on The X Factor? Not so much.
LEARN FROM LIZ HURLEY
ABBEY Clancy's married now, so the footballer's wife really doesn't need to keep advertising her wares.
But she's obviously been taking fash tips from Liz Hurley, who pulled off this knicker reveal back in the day (when she was still relevant).
But it was n 't a good look then... and that sentiment hasn't dated
