'American Idol' Style: Spotlight on Seacrest

In the Beginning

You might not remember it, but originally there were two 'American Idol' hosts, Ryan Seacrest and Brian Dunkelman. Brian Dunkelman didn't survive past one season though, and by the looks of these pictures, Ryan's stylist might not have either. Ryan started the show with super-spiky hair and super-tan skin. Neither of those looked super ON him though.

Bleached Out

Somewhere along the road Ryan Seacrest bleached his hair and went clean-shaven. This look wasn't great on him and really only made him look REALLY young. Let's talk about the indigo suit, seriously, what is that? We're praying he can blame that mishap on a stylist and not on his own personal opinion!

Getting Better

Ryan's signature has always been a sport coat or blazer with jeans. It's what's under the blazer that is usually a mystery. For this headshot, he rocked a fun brown graphic tee with white letters. It's nice to see Ryan in clothing that he's comfortable in, this makes the outfit look that much better.
