Hayden Panettiere: Lastest Hollywood Hippie (Photos)

Posted on: July 16th, 2008 by: Meg

Hayden Panettiere is the latest celebrity to wear a long flowing dress reminiscent of the 60’s hippie movement. The psychedelic pattern of the sundress hearkens back to the days when a young person rejected conventional society and advocated love, peace, and adopted simple, idealistic values.

The teen actress was on hand at a 2008 ESPY’s Giant Event at J Bar and Lounge in Los Angeles on Monday. The gown actually does give the starlet some unwanted girth around her middle. Solid colors tend to slim while flowery multi-colored patterns have the opposite effect.

Panettiere is among a growing group of celebrities who are wearing the paisley-like patterns. Check out other stars who have been seen out and about in flowing florals and have thus been labeled Hollywood Hippies.

Even Suri Cruise, age two, has embraced the latest style. The toddler was at Union Station in L.A. yesterday, watching mom, Katie Holmes, film a cameo appearance for the ABC show Eli Stone. Suri was photographed in her own flowing sundress. She completed her look with bare feet - in true flower child form. All she lacked was a fist full of wild daisies to make the look complete.
