Dress Like a Celebrity

Celebrities often look like they’ve just stepped off the runway, even when they’re spotted at the airport or out shopping. While many celebrities have personal stylists that ensure their look is on point, you can dress like a celebrity without one. Experimenting with proportions, colors, and statement pieces are all great ways to bring out your inner celebrity. Once you’ve put together the perfect outfit, you can top off the look with a great pair of shoes.

Steps

Playing with Colors, Layers, and Proportions

1. Experiment with proportions. Celebrities are known for playing with proportions when it comes to fashion. Balance between hemlines, sleeves, and shoes can make or break an outfit. Pairing the small with the tall, or the understated with the outrageously obvious can take your celebrity-inspired style to epic proportions.
   • Wear a short skirt with a long-sleeved blouse and flats.
   • Try a trench coat with a long denim skirt and a short-sleeved turtleneck top.
   • Pair a short shift dress with a long wool vest and simple ankle boots.
2. Make your outfit monochromatic. Dressing in all one hue will make a chic, celebrity-worthy statement. It’s also a great way to draw attention to a statement-worthy bag, pair of shoes, or hairstyle. You can go for the exact same hue, or opt for different shades of the same color.
   • Pair a black moto jacket with black skinny jeans, black ankle boots, and a black handbag.
   • Top off a simple white dress with a white jacket.
3. Mix and match prints and patterns. Celebrities can be seen sporting a mix of prints and patterns. Putting together an outfit that includes different prints or patterns is easy. You can double up on the same print, wear two patterns that have the same base color, or try two similar prints in different sizes.
   • Try wearing skinny black and white stripes on a top, with wider black and white stripes on pants or a skirt.
   • Match at least one color in a print to a color in the other print you will be wearing.
   • Combine colors that are beside each other on the color wheel, like green and yellow.
4. Wear a longer layer over a dress. When you pair a longer coat or sweater with a shorter skirt or dress, the result can be reminiscent of celebrity style. Opt for simple pieces that complement one another. Make sure the coat, sweater, or vest is at least a couple of inches longer than your dress or skirt.
   • Try pairing a duster-length sweater with a simple monochromatic dress.
   • Wear a car-length coat over a shorter denim skirt and simple tee.

Adding Statement Pieces

1. Go for a statement coat. One way to emulate celebrity fashion is to wear a statement coat. When you’re outside, a coat is the first, and sometimes only, piece of clothing other people will see. Opt for colors, patterns, and fabrics that will turn heads while also showing off your personality.
   • Try wearing an oversized pink puffer coat.
   • Make a statement with a short white fur coat.
   • Try a studded, calf-length black coat for a western look.
2. Add a pop of color. Celebrities are known for flaunting colorful pieces that pop out from the rest of their outfit. Adding a single pop of color to what might otherwise be an everyday outfit will help you stand out whether you’re on the red carpet or out on the town with your friends.
   • Pair red heels with jeans and a t-shirt.
   • Show off a brightly colored bag by pairing it with a simple dress.
3. Pair a statement accessory with a simpler outfit. Celebrities are known for rocking accessories that really make a statement. Choose one or two accessories and pair them with a simple outfit. Remember that less is more when you’re making a statement with your accessories.
   • Try wearing chandelier earrings and a cuff bracelet with a simple black dress.
   • Pair a bib necklace with jeans and a white t-shirt.
4. Add a pair of statement sunglasses. You can dress like a celebrity by adding some knockout sunglasses to your outfit. You can go with a designer pair of sunglasses, or you can choose a more budget-friendly pair that reflects your personality.
   • Try a pair of large, black-rimmed round sunglasses.
   • Add some color to your outfit with sunglasses that have a brightly colored frame.
   • Try two-toned lenses for an elegant, sophisticated celebrity look.

Showing Off Celebrity Style Shoes

1. Wear over-the-knee boots. Celebrities are rocking over-the-knee boots with a variety of outfits. Over-the-knee boots will make heads turn, whether you’re out running errands or out on the town. Add some height with a heeled boot, or go for a more comfortable option in a flat bottom style.
   • Try brown suede over-the-knee boots with a cutoff denim mini skirt and a neutral sweater.
   • Pair shiny black over-the-knee boots with a black circle skirt and simple black blouse.
2. Go for nude shoes. Celebrities around the world are frequently spotted in nude shoes. Nude shoes can be worn with a wide variety of outfits, and also eliminate the all too familiar problem of figuring out what shoe to wear. Choose a pair that reflects your personality and works with your wardrobe.
   • Try pairing nude pumps with a simple black dress.
   • Wear nude sandals with white shorts and a white top.
3. Try a pair of white sneakers. Celebrities can be spotted sporting white sneakers no matter the season or locale. White sneakers are comfortable while also providing an element of celebrity style. You can wear them all year long, and chances are you already have outfits in your closet to pair them with.
   • Try pairing classic striped white sneakers with a long black blazer-topped dress.
   • Update your denim by wearing simple white sneakers with your favorite cropped jeans.
   • Travel in style by pairing comfortable white sneakers with a cute dress and fashionable handbag.
