==Style==
Willow is known for her ideas about fashion. In a recent issue of "J-14", Willow was in the "Bad outfits happn to good stars" section, with a picture of her wearing two cheetah prints. Comments sparked up about that, saying that she looked like Rihanna as a child. In a recent issue of TWIST magazine, there was another picture of her in biker boots and a black leather jacket with starfish stickers all over it. Debates happened about that also.
