This is the current batch of young stars in Hollywood. Do you recognize any of them? What disturbing new trends do you see?

[rachel776]

for me it's the pointed toe shoes on "men"

I couldn't care less what stupid "trends" Hollywood is trying to start. If a "star" shows up wearing anything other than a classic suit and tie or a classy dress, they're just desperate for attention and there's quite literally nothing more to it.

[rachel776]

they don't even choose their clothes, a stylist does according to what boxes they're able to check off

I skipped over the guys because they're lame. 🤣 but just for you, I went back and looked at the shoes and have to agree with you. I am not a fan and that can't be healthy for feet.

The trend I dislike is seeing so many of these people are "internet famous". They're streamers or post pics and that's why they're famous. I'm happy to see someone like Brec Bassinger on the list, who's been acting in shows for years. Sabrina Carpenter is one of my favorites. If sheeee wore pointy shoes, I wouldn't even complain about it.

[rachel776]

i don't mind internet famous because that's the media of today. it's like saying they're TV famous after radio or "talkie" famous after silent movies. James Thurber said, "Progress was all right. Only it went on too long."

parents struggle to keep their kids off their phones, but that's like parents of past generations struggling to keep their kids from reading books

[zeitgeist057]

I don't know if that metaphor flies so well. Reading books wasn't contributing to record levels of depression and social anxiety.

[molonski2]

Honestly , I don't who any of them are , so I don't know about disturbing trends , it all means little to me...

[madhatters4]

the only one i know is mulvaney and that's due to all the ridiculous hoopla around them this summer

[Mansearching]

Don't recognize any.

Only thing I noticed is that its a lot of butt pics. Smh... kinda sad.

[Sevenpointfive]

half are black, all or most of them are unattractive, did they all wear the same designer? wtf? terrible taste. i haven't seen any of them in anything. i know sydney sweeny because of her hype. lots of nepotism here

[rachel776]

loads of unbridled nepotism yes, though i'm a beneficiary of nepotism myself 🤷‍♀️ but what am i going to do? turn it down?

and yes, it seems if you're non-white, you're welcome on this list regardless of talent or contribution to the world

all different designers, all in a frenzy to copy each other, lest they lose their "originality"

[Anonymous]

Only Sydney Sweeney because she was in GQ awhile ago, I don't care about trends

[rachel776]

Sydney Sweeney is actually a big star for Les Voyeurs and Euphoria and The White Lotus and others. i live and work in Hollywood and don't recognize most of these people, and they're my generation 🤷‍♀️

[exitseven]

The only name I recognized was Dylan Mullaney and not because of any movie he was in

[Sparkie460]

I don't recognize any of them. It seems like the trend is to wear see through clothing for the women.

[CubaPirate]

Nope I don't recognise any and don't care by the way what shoes do you like to see on a guy

[RealMarek]

Hollywood is not what it used to be.

[rachel776]

in a way it is, because when fashions came out in 1950 or 1973, they were seen as equally ridiculous for their time

[Alex8736]

Pointed toe shoes and or Pointed toe high heels worn by women on a regular basis will cause long term issues by age 30-35 becoming a podiatrists best friend with ongoing foot problems. Just saying

[rachel776]

i don't have a single pair of shoes like this and have always hated them on women. seeing them on men is unbearable. the saving grace is they'll be gone by next season and mocked forever after, like thin eyebrows from the 2000s

[Alex8736]

On that topic I wouldn't be surprised if the spring 2024 style will be Capri pants for men 😂

[Grond21]

Hollywood matters less and less

[rachel776]

it matters just as much as ever, the speech in The Devil Wears Prada about the young girl's dowdy sweater is how everything works. from the top-level down to the discount bin where it makes its way into everyone's everyday lives whether they're aware of it or not

[Grond21]

People used to care what the stars thought. They had more influence on the culture. But their influence is waning as the major movie studios become more woke.

[DaBiggestBird]

Looks like he’s about to play GTA in real life

[Wise4myage]

I sure don't.
