These Celeb Looks Are Off-the-Charts Expensive, But These Cheaper Dupes Are Good
It's no secret that our favorite celebrities can often be found decked out in incredibly expensive looks. While this makes for great, aspirational eye candy, it can be a letdown when our budgets don't exactly align with their head-to-toe designer ensembles. However, there is no need to fret. Thanks to my recent online deep dive, I was able to pin down a variety of much cheaper pieces to re-create some of the coolest celebrity looks of the moment.
To start, I have you covered on Dua Lipa's cool take on two trends: the brown distressed leather jacket and the It-status Miu Miu moto boots. Do you recall Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's effortless mirror selfie with a white button-down and tan trousers from The Row? I found the perfect options to get the full look for under $200. Keep scrolling to check out all eight stylish celebrity looks that caught my eye and shop the much more affordable versions.
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa is the epitome of cool in a distressed brown leather jacket, Miu Miu minidress, sheer black tights, and knee-high Miu Miu moto boots.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner turns an otherwise romantic green dress into an edgy look with the help of sleek black opera gloves and knee-high pointy boots.
Suki Waterhouse
Suki Waterhouse gives her classic pinstripe suit a sporty touch by adding in a cool baseball cap.
These under-$100 pinstripe pants are great for the office or even with a vintage band tee.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is effortless in a white button-down shirt, a basic tee, belted trousers, and barely-there white sandals.
One reviewer shared, "They run big. Other than that I love them. Breathable and comfortable fabric."
Riley Keough
Riley Keough is summoning up modern-day Clueless vibes with her black feather-cuffed cardigan and white miniskirt.
Here is another chic feather-cuffed cardigan worth considering.
Laura Harrier
Laura Harrier stuns in a minimal monochrome look with a cropped long-sleeved top and a silk maxi skirt.
There is something about chocolate-brown pieces that I can't enough of lately.
Elsa Hosk
Elsa Hosk is a standout in this fashion-forward outfit with a classic trench coat, a contrast lace slip dress, sporty crew socks, and trendy mesh Alaïa flats.
These mesh flats get the look at a fraction of the cost.
Hailey Bieber
Hailey Bieber goes sexy-cool in a black sheer crop top, sparkly tennis necklaces, a triangle bikini top, and black leather pants.
This top is just the right amount of sheer for re-creating this outfit.
