'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' Show the Perks of '90s Style
Charlie may be a the strong, silent type, but the "Perks of Being a Wallflower" protagonist knows a thing or two about style... and we're not just talking about his ability to write letters to an unknown friend.
Logan Lerman's character knows the finer points of wearing a suit, while his more outgoing friends, played by Ezra Miller, Emma Watson and Mae Whitman rock some decidedly looks ranging from punk rock to totally preppy.

Today, the cast picked up another wonderful young actress: Mae Whitman.
According to Variety, Whitman has signed onto "Wallflower" to play Mary Elizabeth, the protagonist's first girlfriend. She's a fierce vegetarian who hates her parents, admires Communism via the movie "Reds," toys with lesbianism, and publishes a magazine called "Punk Rocky."
