8 Times Celebrities Made Forever 21 Look Like a Million Bucks
As you may have already noticed, our love for celebrity style runs deep, and our love for affordable celebrity style runs even deeper. Whether it’s scouring Target for the most Kendall-esque finds or figuring out ways to re-create Olivia Palermo’s best looks at 75% off the original cost, we get a unique thrill when we can find ways to emulate our favorite It girls’ looks without spending an arm and a leg.
This is precisely why we love seeing celebrities step out in Forever 21—one of the most affordable sources of actually fashionable fast fashion today, and where most pieces don’t even come close to the $30 mark. Something about seeing a stylist-approved spin on a $15 bodysuit or a red carpet–worthy take on a $30 dress reassures our feeling that you don’t need a big budget to have major style. So in celebration of this, today we’ve rounded up our favorite celebrity Forever 21 moments so far this year. From Emma Roberts to Diane Kruger, prepare to get inspired.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
