Red Carpet Icon: Drew Barrymore





























I always thought Drew Barrymore was the cutest kid in the world when I first saw her in the blockbuster hit "E.T." in 1982 and she is still cute as a button. She is one of the few child stars who made a transition to an successful adult actress. Barrymore has a eccentric unique style and she doesn't conform to Hollywood that you have to be a minus 0 to be an actress.

Drew had a turbulent childhood with drug and alcohol abuse as early as the age of eleven. With two stints in rehab, she managed not to relapse and became a A-list celebrity. She starred in great movies such as Charlie's Angels, 50 First Dates, He's Just Not That Into You and Grey Gardens.

Barrymore is the Ambassador Against Hunger for United Nations World Food Programme. She has donated over 1 million dollar to the organization. In 2007, she became both Cover Girl's newest model and the spokeswoman for the cosmetic and jewelry line for Gucci.

Drew Barrymore is Hollywood's darling. She had her share of troubles and she is a living proof of how someone can turn their life around and be successful. I love that she is not predictable on the red carpet. She can rock a 1920's inspired ensemble and make it looks elegant and modern. Her style is Old Hollywood Glamour with a funky twist.
