10 Trends Celebs Are Skipping for Summer 2019
Summer is just kicking off, but celebrities are already showing us which fashion trends they’re ready to embrace for the season ahead. They’re also making it clear which trends they aren’t on board with. While we’ve spotted celebrities wearing some of the buzziest trends of the moment like flip-flops and square-toe heels, there are plenty they’re leaving behind. Some of the trickier trends like tie-dye and wedges haven’t been getting much playtime.
Ahead, see which summer fashion trends celebs are skipping right now and the ones they’re wearing instead. From Rihanna’s latest outfits from Paris and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s vacation style in Italy to Kaia Gerber’s Reformation dress in New York City and Ashley Graham’s look in Tulum, you can tap into exactly what celebs are wearing now. Go on to see what they’re wearing and the trends they’re leaving behind.
Kaia Gerber
Skipping: Tie-Dye
Wearing: Floral Prints
While tie-dye might be one of the most popular trends of the summer, Kaia Gerber is proving that you shouldn't abandon a floral print.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Skipping: Cutout Swimsuits
Wearing: Classic One-Pieces
Cutouts are one swimsuit trend we've been seeing everywhere. Instead of wearing the tricky trend, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley opted for a classic silhouette with seersucker fabric instead.
Rihanna
Skipping: Maxi Skirts
Wearing: Mini Silhouettes
Maxi skirts are making a big comeback this summer, but Rihanna prefers minis—spotted here wearing a piece from her recent Fenty collection.
Jennifer Lopez
Skipping: Shield Sunglasses
Wearing: Cat-Eye Frames
Instead of trying out the shield sunglass trend that's everywhere on Instagram, Jennifer Lopez has been wearing a modern take on the cat eye.
Kendall Jenner
Skipping: High-Waisted Swimsuits
Wearing: High-Leg Cuts
Last summer, Kendall Jenner was spotted wearing a throwback high-waisted swimsuit in Cannes. This summer, she has been skipping the retro silhouette and wearing high-leg swimsuits on repeat.
Ashley Graham
Skipping: Wedges
Wearing: Flip-Flops
While we haven't spotted Ashley Graham test out the wedge shoe trend this summer, she's definitely on board with flip-flops.
Bella Hadid
Skipping: Pearl Jewelry
Wearing: Logo Jewelry
Baroque pearls continue to be a big trend on Instagram, but it isn't something we've seen in Bella Hadid's wardrobe. Instead, you'll find logo jewelry from Chanel.
Dua Lipa
Skipping: Beige
Wearing: Zebra Prints
Dua Lipa isn't one to shy away from bold colors or prints, so it's no surprise to see that she's skipping beige in favor of this zebra dress.
Gemma Chan
Skipping: String Bikinis
Wearing: Wide-Strap Tops
String bikinis from the '00s are huge again, but you won't find them in Gemma Chan's suitcase.
Emily Ratajkowski
Skipping: Strappy Flats
Wearing: Square-Toe Heels
Square-toe heels are about to be the next big shoe trend, and EmRata is already on board.
