If you’re a woman, you’ve probably said the phrase: “I don’t know what to wear today” more times than you can remember. It’s okay; I won’t judge, and I do the same thing every day myself. You might have hundreds of outfits in your closet, but the real talent is putting together the right one. In order to do that, the first question I ask myself to make my decisions easier is “what’s the mood today?”
Key Takeaways
- When you don’t know what to wear, start by asking what mood you’re in, then build the outfit from there.
- Celebrity looks are a great source of outfit inspiration, and many are easy to recreate with affordable pieces.
- This roundup recreates looks from Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, Teyana Taylor, Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé.
- Use trends as a starting point, but add your own touch to make the look yours.
If I’m looking for something casual and laid back, my sweatpants are my best friends. If you’re in a fancy mood, you might need to sacrifice your comfort and put those high heels on. What I’m trying to say is that the ingredients are there, but now you have to come up with the recipe.
One thing I love to do when I put together an outfit is to get inspired by celebrity looks. I follow a lot of celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Hailey Bieber, and Danileigh. More specifically, I just find whoever fits my style the most and make sure that I stay up to date with the latest trends. The great thing is that nowadays it’s so easy to recreate celebrity looks. It’s actually cheaper than it sounds and will leave you looking like you are on your way to the red carpet.
To help you dress to impress today and not stare at your closet for hours, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite celebrity looks and outfits. These looks are very easy to recreate, and they’re very affordable. Somebody call the paparazzi because you’re about to look like a Hollywood star!
Kylie Jenner
I am personally not a big fan of Kylie Cosmetics, but when it comes to fashion, I really think Kylie is a trendsetter. She is the queen of Instagram and knows just how to take the right shot. Designer brands are always eager to send her new outfits so that she can show them off on the gram to her hundreds of millions of followers.
What I like most about Kylie is that she can rock many styles. She has some classy iconic looks from her Met Gala appearances, but she can also wear a pair of Nike sneakers and find a way to make her outfit look stylish. She does a good job with pairing her outfits with the right accessories as well. Yes, that’s right Miss Kylie, we noticed you flexing with your Birkin bag many times.
The cute part is that Kylie also expresses her passion for fashion by dressing up her adorable daughter Stormi with designer outfits. They also always match their outfits, and we just can’t handle the cuteness!
Here’s an outfit by Kylie I like a lot. From her black dress to her hairstyle, this look is a must-have. Here’s how you can recreate it easily.

Jennifer Lopez
It’s safe to say that I cannot hide my love for Jennifer Lopez. Whenever I write a fashion or beauty piece, I always mention her. The reason is that everything this woman touches turns into gold. A successful actress, singer, dancer, and business woman, J Lo keeps impressing us and shining with every move she makes.
Her accomplishments are too many to name: from her collaborations with brands like Versace and Coach to her shoe line with DSW and her beauty brand, JLo Beauty, is there anything that this woman can’t do?
Her red carpet looks are iconic, but I personally love her in casual clothing. Here she is showing off her shoe line. Here’s how you can get this look.

Teyana Taylor
Teyana Taylor is one of my favorite superstars. I can relate to her because we both share two passions: dancing and film making.
With an amazing body, great talent, and amazing directing skills, Teyana keeps shining. She is the reason I started shopping at Pretty Little Thing. When I found out she was collaborating with them, I was immediately interested. Her style is very laid-back and tomboyish. I really find her looks inspiring and fashionable. Here’s how you can get this Teyana Taylor look!

Miley Cyrus
We know her, we love her, and we question her life decisions, but we still admire her as an artist. Miley Cyrus will always have a special place in our hearts that she holds thanks to Hannah Montana, her successful Disney movies, her beautiful voice, and her edgy style.
Yes, she’s been a subject to criticism, but underneath all that lies true talent. I mean this girl can sing! I also love how she shifted from being a pop star on Hannah Montana to being a rockstar. Her career in music is very versatile, which shows how talented she is as an artist.
When she’s not busy swinging on wrecking balls, Miley is slaying when it comes to grungy fashion looks.
Here’s how you can recreate this outfit:

- Mileywood Classic Tee
- Dr Martens Modern Classics 1460 Patent 8-Eye Boots
- Plain Black Snapback
- Black Tights
Beyonce
Who runs the world? Beyonce! She’s queen B for a reason. The most talented performer with the most powerful voice, Beyonce is truly dominating the industry.
Her 2020 project “Black Is King” is a musical film and visual album inspired by the Lion King. The film is compelling with many visual stories, energetic choreographies, and song collaborations with talented artists like Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino. Her daughter Blue Ivy is also featured on one of the songs; I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
The film premiered on Disney+, and trust me, it’s worth watching.
Not only is she flawless when it comes to the music game, but Queen B is also a fashion icon. Her Ivy Park collaboration with Adidas (which ended in 2023), “Ivy Park”, and her famous coachella outfit didn’t fail to impress the Beyhive (the name given to Beyonce fans).
Here’s one of my favorite looks by her. Shop this outfit today!
