I Styled an Imaginary A-Lister—This Is the Luxury Haul I’d Put Them In for 2026
I’ve always had a wild imagination especially when it comes to fashion. Every fashion industry insider has done this mentally with each and every one of their favorite stars, so I decided to lean into this exercise to craft my dream luxury shopping list. Just imagine having your hands on the wheel of an A-lister’s closet. With their impeccable calendar, unlimited budget, and zero patience for anything less than perfection—styling the elite is quite the fun job. This is the exercise that always helps me dream up my best outfits and shopping lists, here’s some of my recent finds.
The result? A luxury haul that’s less about logos and more about pieces that quietly do the most. Investment items that work hard, layer well, and make everything else in the closet look better by association. If I were dressing someone famous in 2026—or, honestly, building my own dream wardrobe—this is exactly where I’d start.
