I need the information for my English presentation about It-Girls. I would also like you to answer the following questions:
-What's an It-Girl?
-What does them make so special?
-Why are they so famous?
-Which are the most famous It-Girl (in the past and in the present)
-Why do they have this image?
So that's all. Please don't copy from Wikipedia. Thank you.
I am very looking forward to reading many interesting, useful and helpful answers.
best regards, MissArrogant (please don't take my nickname too serious ;-) )
ps. Sorry for my English. Sometimes I make some mistakes in this language.

An It-Girl has a certain look, or something currently going for her that makes her WIDELY known by the media. This means she gets more photos taken of her, more people trying to get tabloids on her, more jobs booked, more invites to events, more people trying to get the inside scoop on her. It's when the media pretty much places a magnifying glass on her. Everyone knows about her, and talks about her. People may not have even seen her or really even know about her, but they at least know her name because they've heard it elsewhere.
What would make her "so special" is her look, or her job, or some talent, or someone she's related to that is already famous and/or rich.
What would make her famous is all the media and press on her.
For the hi-fashion modeling industry, some previous It-Girls were: Paris Hilton, Kate Moss, Janice Dickinson, Tyra Banks.
For the music industry: Britney Spears, Christina Aguilara, Jessica Simpson.
For the porn industry: Jenna Jameson
And Marilyn Monroe would be one of them, for sure.
And I think Cindy Crawford and Pamela Anderson are in there somewhere as well.
Their image is either natural(in a model's case), or their image is unique/self-created for themselves, and it makes them stand out. Their images are usually created, and since it's created, it's a new or different look which turns it into a trend, and then many people follow the trend, and it all goes back to the girl who started the trend. So yeah... it's an ongoing cycle.
Their image isn't created to provoke or encourage unhealthy eating habits, or to skew others' self-image.
People who compare themselves to models and actresses ruin themselves for doing so, so please disregard the other girls' comments on that one.
People can give you their opinion on what they THINK an It-Girl is... but aside of their OPINIONS?
People call them "IT" girls for a reason. The nickname actually has a definition. There's a fact to it all.
I'm not going to give you my opinion, because you did not ask for that. You asked about/for what it meant to be an "It-Girl", you never asked..."Why do you think..." or "What do you think..."
You asked, " What is.."
And so, there. That IS what they are.

An It-Girl is the girl who leads the latest fashion trends and is the most photographed in gossip mags.
She's not really special, most it-girls really provide no benefit to society (ie. Paris Hilton) they just look good and are seen in all the right places.
They're famous for different reasons, it-girl Misha Barton is an actress, Kate Moss is a model, Paris Hilton is an "heiress".
The most famous it-girl is hard to predict, now it's probably Paris Hilton sadly enough because she's shallow and famous for doing nothing and is a really bad role model, in the past it was probably Marilyn Monroe, in the 50s everyone wanted platinum blonde hair and an hourglass figure. (I'd prefer to be a Marilyn than a Paris hehe)
They have this image because they have a stylist. they have the money and they have the looks, they really are no benefit to society other than to make average women feel small and further hammer on to women the need to be thin, the need to have designer clothes and the need to have external beauty when ultimately none of these things are what is really important to lead a worthwhile and fulfilling life.

An 'It' girl is somebody who, rather than relying on her talents and skills to succeed in life, tags on to already famous people. Usually, they come from very rich parents, who have no regard for bringing them up with morals, and would rather give them £500 to go out and get ridiculously drunk/stoned/laid at the ripe old age of 15.

an it-girl is obviously not just any kinda girl. she's gotta have the looks, the style, the attitude and of course, the money. its like she's truly created for perfection.
what's with them and they're so special? well, i guess its probably because everyone just exalts them so much. i mean... you know, they have everything!
they're so damn famous because they're confident. why? because they know that in the eyes of other people, everything they do is just too perfect... with no mistakes at all! they're famous also because a lot envies them...
hmmm... i dunno? haha...
they have this image because they're born to have this image! well, seriously, because they act like it.

i'm guessing an It-Girl is a girl that no-one is interested in other than the media.
-They aren't special
-They are only famous because of the media.
-Paris Hilton and Jade Goody
-Society feels that we need them?
