Learn From the Best – 4 Celebrity Styles You Can Easily Imitate

Celebrities are sometimes known as much for their style and fashion sense as they are for their work as entertainers. We all want the celebrity look, but not many of us have the budget. Here’s 4 celebrity styles you can easily imitate while using the wallet of a mere human.

Drew Barrymore

• Save

Drew has the free-spirited, hippie look down pat. Finding a floral print cotton dress that falls between the hips and the knees is the first step to getting Drew’s look. A pair of off black opaque tights gives the dress a winter vibe so you won’t have to put it away when the cold months come. Add a pair of blue velvet pumps and a long gold chain necklace to complete the outfit.

Kerry Washington

• Save

Kerry’s style is elegant and feminine, yet she’s still willing to take chances and put together interesting combinations. Whether she’s portraying Olivia Pope on Scandal or strutting on the red carpet there are a few basic pieces to own to imitate her look. With a pair of black yoga pants and a white fitted workout jacket you’ll have a look we’ve seen on Scandal. Kerry wears a lot of white on white and neutral colors. Occasionally she’ll add a splash of color with a sky blue silky blouse or a tweedy plaid jacket. The key to obtaining Kerry’s look is simplicity.

David Beckham

• Save

David Beckham has been a trend setter for so long that there’s a variety of ways to imitate his look. There are, however, a few essentials that will go a long way. A pair of faded torn jeans is a necessity. Beckham also does the trendy professor look with a pair of black or brown trousers paired with a tweed jacket. One thing Beckham likes is those Italian designers. While those labels might not be in your budget, the brand Mish Mash uses a lot of Italian names in their styles, so you can mimic the Italian handiwork at a lower price. Finally, a well fitted sleek suit is essential to complete the Beckham look, so when the occasion calls for it, look into getting a “skinny” suit in either a casual or formal style.

Kate Middleton

• Save

The Duchess of Cambridge knows how to merge modern with classic. It’s not difficult to copy her style if you own a few simple pieces. She’s often photographed wearing skinny jeans in blue or black, a cropped solid color blazer, and a striped or polka dot T-shirt underneath. The form-fitting coat dress is also one of her trademarks. Black tights and simple black boots complete the outfit. For the most elegant of events she’s worn black lace more than once. Whether a floor length gown or a shorter dress, choosing black lace will have you looking like a princess.

Each of these celebrities knows how to dress whether they’re sipping a Starbucks or stepping out of a limousine. Putting together a few simple pieces will instantly put you in their fashion stratosphere, and you don’t have to break the bank to get there. Most importantly, make sure you stay true to your own style—it is easy to copy someone else’s style, but it takes a true star to make that style your own.
