Ladders somehow show the way, pointing out the dos and don'ts, the right outfits and the places to go to enter the celebrity planet.I think that Eva Longoria might be placed in this group The latter is still hard or almost impossible to reach and is more worshipped than imitated.It is a group that is less sensitive to fashion and brands, very difficult to depict with a few words (this turns real stars into horrible testimonials for luxury brands since they tend to adopt very personal attitudes towards products and brands).
