9 Celebrity Outfits We're Wearing This Summer
As Who What Wear editors, we rarely miss a good celebrity outfit. That said, not every celebrity outfit we come across is, shall we say, accessible. But there are many that we'd re-create in a heartbeat using the contents of our own closets. And since 'tis the season to add a few new summer outfits to our arsenals, we're here to share with you the celebrity outfits that we're currently (actually) planning on wearing this summer.
Between Kendall Jenner's fresh new look, Victoria Beckham's expert color-blocking, and Elle Fanning's feminine throwback look in Cannes, there have been a lot of stellar outfit inspiration so far this summer. The season might not have even officially begun yet, but let's face it—celebs are probably going to start wearing the latest fall pieces soon. So since we're in peak summer celebrity outfit season, we thought it was the perfect time to share which looks we're copying.
Read on to see the looks and shop them for yourself!
"I'm into the challenge of putting together outfits without a single neutral. Viva color!" — Kat Collings
On Victoria Beckham: Céline Shadow Sunglasses ($414); Victoria Beckham sweater, skirt, and boots.
Get the Look:
"I wouldn't usually seek to try to emulate model Kendall Jenner's height (after all, she has about eight inches on me), but when I saw this look I felt like I just had to re-create it. I love a good minidress for summer, and when combined with the stark contrast of white shoes, a ladylike top-handle bag, and the added touch of a silk scarf—I can't get enough." — Nicole Akhtarzad
On Kendall Jenner: Dolce & Gabbana dress; Stuart Weitzman Clingy Boots ($575).
Get the Look:
"This is my favorite easy-to-re-create outfit for summer weekends. I already have a crop top and high-waisted jeans, so I just need to copy Gomez and add some colorful slides and a pastel bag. I especially like how she subtly color-coordinated: Her pink and orange accessories play off the same colors in her striped top." — Erin Fitzpatrick
On Selena Gomez: Alexachung Stripy Mohair Vest ($370); J.W.Anderson Pierce Mini Leather Cross-Body Bag ($1480); Re/Done Originals High Rise Ankle Crop Jeans ($270); Mansur Gavriel Suede X Strap Heels ($475; available in Flamma).

"I'm not usually too feminine of a dresser, but I love the look of this Attico floral dress as a beachy cover-up. Complete with cool sunglasses, hoop earrings, and a straw bag, this is a pretty summery look that's out of my comfort zone in a good way." — Aemilia Madden
On Emily Ratajkowski: Garrett Leight Wilson Sun ($365); Attico Natalia Dress ($963); Carolina Santo Domingo Corallina Raffia Tote ($575); Altuzarra Zuni Eel-Skin Sandals ($1295).
Shop the Look:
"While I probably wouldn't wear this look in 90-degree heat (but you could easily swap the jeans out for black denim shorts on warmer days) I love the way the red pieces coordinate and pop against her all-black look." — Allyson Payer
On Gigi Hadid: Rebecca Minkoff sweater; Le Specs x Adam Selman sunglasses; Tommy Hilfiger jeans; Reebok Classic Sneakers ($75).
Shop the Look:
"This entire look is quintessential summer with this high-waisted skirt and crop top. It's kind of sweet but effortless, and ideal for a weekend getaway, as the top can easily be swapped with a swimsuit if you're packing very light. Just add a ladylike shoe, bring along a cardigan, a pair of sunnies, and an ice cream cone (optional, but strongly recommended)." — Gina Marinelli
On Elle Fanning: Miu Miu skirt.
Get the Look:
"I know this look is kind of a lot, but this season, I am really into kimonos, silk, and feathers, so for me, this outfit is a dream come true." — Lauren Eggertsen
On Rihanna: Gucci 53mm Crystal Embellished Square Sunglasses ($965); Prada dress; Pat Areias belts; Prada Feather-Trimmed Satin Mules ($750).
Get the Look:
"I'm feeling everything about this look (minus the earrings and that's only because I can't wear earrings). This all-white outfit makes me want to buy those sleek white boots right when they are back in stock." — Michelle Scanga
On Kendall Jenner: Gucci Cat Eye Sunglasses ($415); Daisy dress; Fendi Light Pink Sheepskin Micro Peekaboo Bag ($1950); Stuart Weitzman Clingy Boots ($575).
Get the Look:
"Selena Gomez recently stepped out in a cool dress from Jacquemus—one of my favorite French fashion designers. The exaggerated sleeves make the minimal style the perfect silhouette for summer. I'll be following her lead and pairing it with simple black heels." — Kristen Nichols
On Selena Gomez: Jacquemus dress; Louis Vuitton Crystal Flower Sandals ($1060).
