One of my favorite hobbies is looking at photographs of
celebrities, both on the street and the red carpet, for fashion
inspiration. Here I have compiled
a short list of some of my personal favorite icons who truly have nailed
pretty, polished, and professional dressing. I have tried to recreate their
looks in a more budget friendly fashion.
Enjoy!
Zooey Deschanel
Zooey’s style is both retro-inspired and girly, and she
always looks impeccable. Her
television show, New Girl, is full of fantastic outfits that provided me with
some inspiration. What I love about
Zooey’s style is that she is not afraid of mixing bold colors and she is an
expert at putting together easy separates that can be mixed and matched in a
very practical way.
I love how Zooey’s outfit mixes two shades of blue! The cobalt sweater compliments the A
line dress perfectly, and the black belt and flats are simple and don’t clash
with an otherwise bright outfit.
This look is perfect for work or even weekend errands.
This spotted high waisted skirt and green sweater
combination is a bright and whimsical look. It is playful without being over the top and is appropriate
for work. Add yellow flats to make
the outfit really pop.
This final look is bright and perfect for a beautiful summer
day. Zooey’s right, white, and
blue outfit is yet another example of fantastic, versatile separates. The patterns are beautifully mixed yet
the color palette keeps everything from clashing.
Emma Watson
Emma Watson is flawless both on and off the red carpet. She
is able to expertly mix feminine and masculine pieces, as well as rework
classic and timeless trends into something young and modern. Her looks are age appropriate and
sophisticated, and above all else, she rocks whatever she wears with
confidence.
The feminine lace shorts balance out nicely with the
menswear inspired blazer, tie, and button down shirt. The tan color of the blazer provides just enough contrast
between the white of the shirt and the eggshell color of the shorts. Pair the outfit with a pair of girly
black heels to keep the outfit from looking too harsh.
This plaid dress and fitted motorcycle jacket combination is
a bold look than can easily translate from the red carpet into everyday
life. The pointed toe heels add a
touch of femininity to the otherwise edgy outfit. Swap out the leather jacket for a dark blazer for a day at
work and then put on the leather jacket for a night out with your
girlfriends.
This third look is a beautiful take on classic stripes. Emma keeps it simple with black pumps
and a black belt. This look is
timeless and appropriate for any number of occasions.
Olivia Palermo
Olivia Palermo is both a style icon and chameleon. Her fashion choices are always bold and
fearless, and her clothes are always tailored to perfection. She is a great example of a how a
young, professional woman with a blossoming career should dress.
This is a great modern interpretation of the classic
suit. The slim fitting blazer and
pants are tailored impeccably. The
pants and blazer are also incredibly versatile because they can be worn as
separates for other occasions. The
black pumps and purse are timeless pieces that go seamlessly with the rest of
Olivia’s ensemble.
I love Olivia’s sweater and pencil skirt combination. The oversized sunglasses, yellow bag,
and statement shoes liven up an otherwise minimalist outfit.
In this look, Olivia shows how classy and work appropriate
leather and fur can look. So long
as the length is appropriate and nothing is awkwardly too tight, this can be a
great office look for the young and modern woman. Keep accessories simple and
toned down so as not to look garish.
The white blouse, black shoulder bag, and black pumps are stunning with
the rest of the outfit.
Emma Stone
Emma Stone simply exudes confidence in all of her
looks. Her color choices are
fearless, and her style is young and modern. Her outfits are always simple, yet it is her ability to execute
her looks flawlessly that makes her truly stand out. She is truly a classic American beauty and her wardrobe
choices always reflect that fact.
This look is as elegant as it is simple. The bold, blue shift dress and black
strappy sandals work perfectly together to create a look that is both age
appropriate and modest. This look
is perfect for going out. Just
swap in a pair of closed toed kitten heels and you’ll be ready for a day at the
office as well!
Emma’s emerald blazer and black, fitted pants are a perfect
example of how to reinterpret menswear.
The saturated jewel tone really plays up her hair color and skin
tone. She is smart and keeps
accessories simple so as not to distract from her bold look.
In this look, Emma masterfully demonstrates how color
blocking should be done. The red
and pink combination, along with the peplum detailing, is right on trend for
the season. The small black clutch
and nude shoes are simple and ladylike and compliment the rest of the outfit.
Chloe Moretz
I love when Hollywood turns out a beautiful, graceful, and
impeccably dressed child actress.
Even though Chloe is only 15, her outfits are gorgeous is she is
certainly a style icon to watch.
Her outfits are always colorful and they are never too serious.
This sunny look is office appropriate and can easily
translate from the summer months into fall. The length of the skirt balances out the youthful color, and
the black, strappy sandals are an elegant touch and keep the outfit from
looking too young.
This outfit is perfection. A tailored red dress and nude pumps is a beautiful look for
a date or a day at the office.
Keep hair romantic and accessories simple to truly emulate this look.
This youthful look expertly combines colors and
textures. The pink, strappy
sandals compliment the green shirt, and the tweed skirt pulls the whole look
together.
