Religiously watching Fashion Police and dog-earing every magazine’s style section is simply what on-trend collegiettes do. It’s not an obsession (ok, maybe it’s borderline obsessive), we simply love celebrity fashion. It’s what inspires our own wardrobes and gives us fresh ways to express ourselves through style. Unfortunately, we often find ourselves drooling over that to-die-for Chanel LBD or those totally Carrie Bradshaw Manolo Blahniks that could lead us straight into a broken budget if purchased. But you can easily recreate any celeb outfit for under $100! HC has scoped out the 5 hottest Hollywood looks for summer that you can get for much, much less.
Vanessa Hudgens
There’s something about the shirtdress that keeps us coming back. Maybe it reminds us of wearing our guy’s clothes (which we can’t deny is super sexy) or maybe it’s the versatility that’s hooked us. Either way, this is a basic piece that all collegiettes should have tucked away in their closets. This summer, be inspired by Hollywood cutie Vanessa Hudgens, and wear your shirtdress with an on-trend yet classic wide-brimmed floppy hat. Defining your waist with a braided belt will instantly give you an ultra feminine silhouette. Top off your ensemble with simple sandals and a large, slouchy bag to pull together a getup for this season that’ll leave you feeling ladylike and chic.
Women’s Linen-Blend Shirtdress: Old Navy, $23
Merona Straw Crown Floppy Hat: Target, $12
Braided Pant Belt: Charlotte Russe, $9.50
Sandals: H&M, $14.95
Chain Link Shoulder Bag: Forever 21, $27.80

Emma Watson
From red carpet gowns to street chic, it seems like Emma Watson flawlessly pulls off any look, and we have a sneaking suspicion her fashion success has one main factor: confidence. Mixing different patterns and textures in this outfit, for example, might seem like a fashion faux pas when we’re dressing ourselves, but if you rock the combo with confidence, it’ll be a style home run! We particularly love the way Emma pairs a sweet floral skirt and a feminine collared shirt with an edgy moto jacket. The unexpected matching is what makes this an unforgettable ensemble, and if you follow the starlet’s chic ways, your fashion sense will steal the spotlight wherever you go!
Blouse: H&M, $24.95
Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Challis Skirt: Target, $18
Textured Leatherette Jacket: Forever 21, $32.80

Kate Moss
It’s feminine, figure-flattering, and flirty. Is there really anything hotter than a sweet warm weather dress? We don’t think so, especially after seeing Kate Moss pull off this summertime frock. Its bright hue amps up the sexiness, giving cool and confident vibes left and right. We found a less expensive but still fabulous version by Gabriella Rocha that still brings that extra girly feeling we simply love. The best part? You can effortlessly take this kind of playful dress from day to night by swapping out your flip-flops for some sky-high nude pumps.
Gabriella Rocha Adalina Dress: Zappos, $79
Pop Color Braided T-Strap Sandal: Charlotte Russe, $17.50

Kylie Jenner
We know; many stars rock red carpet styles that are drool-worthy, but they also can be a bit eccentric for everyday wear. However, when we stumbled upon Kylie Jenner’s look at the Kidstock Music and Arts Festival, we were oh-so-pleasantly surprised by its ability to transition into our own closets. Her pleated tangerine capris are the perfect shade to rock for summer, and pairing them with a sleek cropped collared shirt creates a trendy and fresh outfit that all collegiettes must dare to wear! Slip on your favorite pair of flat, neutral sandals, like the braided version we found from DSW, and you’ll be feeling like an easy, breezy, I-just-stepped-off-Rodeo-Drive kind of celeb.
Blouse: H&M, $17.95
Cuffed Cropped Pants: Forever 21, $19.80
Kelly & Katie Iris Sandal: DSW, $39.958

Kristin Cavallari
The maxi skirt has stolen our fashionista hearts, and there’s no going back. This must-have staple makes a chic statement wherever you wear it. Whether it be for date night with your guy or for running errands, the maxi skirt always makes us feel laidback and cool, but you don’t have to max out your credit card to achieve Kristin Cavallari’s super sleek look. Piperlime offers a version equally stylish to her piece, giving you that easy and soft vibe we all love for summer fashion. Slip on a simple tee under a basic denim jacket, pair with your favorite flip flops, and voila! You have yourself a casual yet irresistibly adorable getup that’ll be your go-to style this season.
Classic Premium Denim Jacket: Forever 21, $24.80
Maxi Skirt by Line & Dot: Piperlime, $49
Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Short Sleeve Pocket Vee Tee in Green Song: Target, $8
Braidy Sandal in Metallic: Delia’s, $9.50
