Gossip Wednesday. Chewing Over Celebrities’ Website Designs

Everybody lies. Men, women – it doesn’t matter, we are all equal in our little bad habits. We gossip and go crazy sometimes. If you don’t, you’ve just lied 🙂 Relax, I’m just kidding. The only thing I want to do – is to make you feel a bit easier, enjoy this day, and get inspired for great deeds. The source of inspiration will be a collection of celebrity websites designs – the pages of most talked about people, we all know. Let it be our gossip Wednesday which starts with a design-oriented compilation.

In Chase of Celebrities

Celebrity websites are the first place to hunt for hot news. You can read hundreds of yellow pages, but the most relevant information will be placed on official pages. Having in bookmarks or feeds several of them (or whatever number depending on your preferences), you can always be in the loop. If you’re a housewife, a gossip girl or a teenager, you'll savor all those rumours. Designers and developers and also visitors of such sites, but with other intentions – to take the gage of layout sleekness and functionality. That’s why I hope this post will meet interests of both mentioned above groups.

And Great Designs

If you think that this niche can boast with most effective designs on the web, you’re mistaken. Of course, celebrities can afford best of the best designers and have enough money to spend on the site, but sometimes something goes wrong and results in not-the-best-variant-to-show. It can be lack of time or desire to create something special or whatever, and we see some badly designed pages. Be sure, none of these sick-makings will be posted here. Only trendy, visually pleasing, user-friendly examples are served to you. Here you’ll find much of what is called hyper trendy in 2014, so get ready to inspect it.

Let it be my poetic license to feature websites of pop artists, most of whom are girls. It’s the matter of my girlish nature. If I were a boy, I would never offer you to browse through such vanilla things 🙂

Naomi Campbell

Sheer minimalism – this is how Naomi’s website strikes its viewers. Being extremely trendy this year, this cleanliness perfectly works for effective visual presentation of world-known model. This layout doesn’t need anything else but black & white photos of Naomi and light blue accents that make it look really stunning.

Taylor Swift

Notice now nicely vibrant red typography (playing the key visual role in this design) matches ripe Taylor’s lips. I’ve chosen this site due to its ever nice Instagram-like full-width photos that set special tone (so inviting and pleasant to look at).

* * *

Adele

Sorry for the references to my previous post about black & white design, but it’s really a trend of these days. So, you’ll find several of such "never dull" sites in this compilation.

* * *

Cristiano Ronaldo

Vibrant coral looks great against black background so as all those cool photos of this destiny’s favorite child. Texts and images placed in a grid make browsing comfortable and fixed header – easier.

* * *

Beyonce

Here is one more refined example of classic color scheme which is effectively used in celebrity website design. See how a neat burger menu in the upper left-hand corner, is implemented to make navigation easier.

* * *

Lady Gaga

Here is the design where each detail doesn't whisper, but shouts. Its inimitable, bold, extra and whatever other words you can pick up. Accordion effect in the right sidebar is made for easy revealing of all the text and video information presented on the site.

* * *

David Beckham

This is just a page with links to social media accounts where you can find the desired information about this famous player. But how excellent it’s done! It’s impossible to revert eyes of this highly aesthetic photo.

* * *

Jennifer Lopez

Ambient video backgrounds became very popular this year, and here is an example of their wise and effective implementation in the site.

* * *

Katy Perry

Blurred images in soft colors make this layout so sunny and pleasant to visit, that most people will certainly return here one more time. Rhomb design elements (in the logo, content part) bring a cutting edge tone into this page.

* * *

Kelly Rowland

Homepage of the next site shows ever beautiful visuals of its owner. What else does a site need to drive more fans of Kelly Rowland in?

* * *

Lana Del Rey

This fairy-tale girl has chosen one of the most effective variants of site design to promote her brand online. And it’s the one with ambient video background. Enjoy!

* * *

Laura Pausini

This black & white parallax site gladdens the eye with lytro camera effect that helps change focusing point on the page.

* * *

Nelly Furtado

Enjoy the polygon art (on the background image) making this site undoubtedly stunning.

* * *

Pamela Anderson

She is an obsession of millions and her site couldn’t be a muff. It’s stylish classic color choice is perfect for self-presentation.

* * *

Rihanna

Bold girl = bold design. Let it be the coda of this post.

Hope, you’ve enjoyed aesthetical perfection, extremely stylish solutions and relentless modernity of these designs. They show not only how professional pages should be done, but also lift the veil of beau monde.
