$("select[id$=-status][id^=id_item-]").change(function (){
    var style = $(this).find('option:selected').attr('style');
    $(this).attr('style', style);
    $("select[id$=-status][id^=id_item-] option:selected").each(function () {
            $(this).attr('style', style);
          });
}).trigger('change');

Add style to you HTML code, use trigger don't forget to load this in your $(document).ready(function(){} Also don't forget to put this code after populating your Select box from the DB
