How Celebs Inspire Us & Get Their Look!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

One of the most common questions in fashion is where does everyone gets their inspiration. Some get it from art and nature, others from style magazines and runways. Fashion designers often get it from previous collections or icons in history and transform that inspiration into a collection of clothes. But if you ask the everyday shopper it’s likely they don’t even realize a big factor influencing their style choices. That hidden factor is celebrities.

Although we may not want to admit how much we read gossip sites or magazines, pictures of celebrities in fabulous clothes are everywhere. On billboards outside, ad campaigns throughout magazines, and the countless websites that track celebrities out on their daily chores looking stylish. The four celebrities shown above are known for their ability to wear both casual looks and high-end fashion labels. But now, you can look just like them, but for a whole lot less!

Kim Kardashian’s colored jeans and leather jacket look is the perfect day to night outfit. It’s casual, but has that extra spring flare by adding in a pop of blue into the jeans. Wear it with studded flats to class, and change into a pair of studded heels for night and you are all set. Nicole Richie’s classic Boho look is super inspiring. Be daring and buy a great maxi dress.
