Popular culture of the 2000s was intensely interested in the celebrity girl as a figure, given the massive buying power of the new youth market of Millennials-particularly girls-and a renewed popular interest in celebrities overall. This led to a rise of media devoted specifically to young female audiences, such as teen magazines. Long-running publications like Seventeen (established in 1944) were joined by a wave of "little sister" publications spun off of women's magazines, like CosmoGirl and Teen Vogue. This dissertation examines six major teen magazine publications over the course of the decade (2000-2009) to understand how they contributed to shaping our wider cultural understanding of who can be a celebrity girl, and what she might be like. Teen magazines are a useful site to analyze this because they are created by a range of people with distinct goals: magazine editors, writers and staff; industry professionals they collaborate with like photographers, make-up artists, and fashion designers; companies of all sorts that pay to have their products and brands advertised in the magazines; and the celebrity girls themselves. I use a mixed-methods approach, looking at separate aspect of teen magazines through different kinds of analysis in each chapter, to provide a well-rounded understanding of what they do. First, I use a visual analysis to look at every teen magazine cover from the decade to provide an overview of who is considered a celebrity girl, demographically. Second, I use a discourse analysis to look at the profiles of celebrity girls and readers' letters about them, to identify what qualities people believe a celebrity girl should (or should not) have. Finally, I use an industry analysis to demonstrate how teen magazines spread their ideas about celebrity girls to other media through their partnerships with reality TV shows.
