The One Thing 10 Celebrities Never Wear
It seems like celebrities are able to pull off just about any fashion trend. Teeny-tiny crops tops? You bet. Oversize sweaters? They manage to make them look cool instead of sloppy. Blazers? They know exactly how they should be tailored to look chic instead of corporate. For all of their experimentation with fashion trends, though, it’s clear that there are some pieces celebrities will never wear.
After studying the outfits of the most fashionable celebs, we observed some noticeable items that they habitually skip and some style rules they stick to instead. Sarah Jessica Parker favors heels over flats, much like her character Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City. On the other hand, Bella Hadid never wears midi dresses—instead opting for mini cuts or floor-sweeping styles. What are some of the other fashion items you’ll never spot celebs wearing? Scroll down to find out.
SKIPS: FLATS
WEARS: HEELS
Much like her character Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City, Sarah Jessica Parker skips flats in favor of heels. While she might wear sneakers and boots on occasion, she always opts for heels over flats.
SKIPS: MIDI DRESSES
WEAR: MINIDRESSES AND LONG GOWNS
When it comes to dresses, Bella Hadid always skips midi-length styles. Instead, she sticks to minidresses or long gowns for dressy events.
SKIPS: LOOSE CLOTHING
WEARS: WAIST-CINCHING SILHOUETTES
No matter what Priyanka Chopra is wearing, she always chooses pieces that highlight her waist—whether it's a fitted blazer or a tailored dress.
SKIPS: BODY-CONSCIOUS ITEMS
WEARS: OVERSIZE PIECES
Ashley Olsen tends to wear loose silhouettes—like this oversize sweater—instead of anything tight or body-conscious.
SKIPS: RIPPED JEANS
WEARS: TAILORED PANTS
Now that Meghan Markle is a royal, she has put her distressed jeans on hold in exchange for more polished styles like these tailored pants.
SKIPS: FITTED JACKETS
WEARS: OVERSIZE OUTERWEAR
You won't see Rihanna in shrunken jackets or pieces that are super fitted. Instead, she wear oversize outerwear.
SKIPS: TRENDY PRINTS
WEARS: NEUTRALS
While you'll spot seasonless prints like leopard and stripes in Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's closet, you won't see trendy patterns. Instead, she tends to stick with neutrals.
SKIPS: V-NECK T-SHIRTS
WEARS: CREWNECK T-SHIRTS
Like many celebs, Jennifer Lawrence sticks to crewneck T-shirts over other cuts.
SKIPS: CROPPED JEANS
WEARS: HIGH-WAISTED DENIM
Kendall Jenner skips cropped denim and instead regularly steps out in high-rise fits.
SKIPS: WORN-OUT SNEAKERS
WEARS: CLEAN SNEAKERS
For as often as Gigi Hadid wears sneakers, it's impressive that they always look clean and new. You'll never spot the model in worn-out or distressed pairs.
