Taking a scroll through Instagram recently, I realized just how many celebrity outfits I was taking screenshots of. With fewer red carpets or celebrity appearances happening than in years past, Instagram is more and more becoming a place where we can get a glimpse at what celebs are wearing. Naturally, there are plenty of cool loungewear looks and winter-ready cold weather outfits that are inspiring how I style mine. But there are also some more dressed-up looks that I can’t wait to reinterpret for myself.

More and more, celebs have been getting dressed up at home for virtual events—whether it’s Hailey Bieber in head-to-toe Saint Laurent to celebrate the brand’s latest runway show, Emma Louise Corrin for a virtual premiere of The Crown, or just an excuse to throw on a fun outfit. Ahead, I’m highlighting some of my favorite celebrity outfits that I’ll be repeating long into 2021.

While I tend to gravitate towards gold jewelry, I've been wearing silver pieces more and more, so I'm looking to add some new ones to my collection.

Bella Hadid's sleek puffer is the winter essential I'm telling everyone to buy right now. You can't go wrong by pairing this with trousers or jeans.

While I've been living in neutral button-downs, I think a fun pop of color is a great, easy way to instantly make a look more vibrant.

Tracee Ellis Ross is making a very strong case for cropped tees. I actually want to repeat this entire look from head-to-toe, if I'm being honest.

Baggy jeans are on the rise and the coolest way to wear them is with other oversize pieces.

I'm ready to swap in a sculptural piece for a standard leather jacket. I can't stop thinking about the amazing '80s silhouettes that are on the market right now.

Cutout pieces are one of the many "naked" trends that will be everywhere in 2021. But why wait until then to start wearing them?
