From Kendall to Alexa: These Are the Celeb Outfits I’m Copying to Look Elegant and Cool This Spring
The new Kendall Jenner easy outfit formula, Alexa Chung's everyday uniform and Elsa Hosk's Chanel ensemble are all included.
- 5 Celebrity-Approved Spring 2026 Outfits:
- 1. Kendall Jenner: Tank Top + Tailored Trousers + Thong Sandals
- 2. Alexa Chung: Car Coat + Logo T-shirt + Khaki Trousers
- 3. Zoë Kravitz: Technical Jacket + Slip Skirt + Heels
- 4. Elsa Hosk: Breton Cardigan + Wide-Leg Jeans + Heels
- 5. Laura Harrier: Half-Zip Sweater + Mini Skirt + Loafers
The truth is, I spend far too much time on Instagram saving outfits I plan on recreating, and often never do. In fact, I have a whole folder dedicated to 'outfits to copy' that I always forget about. But this never happens when it's a celebrity look. As soon as Alexa Chung posts a new outfit, my wardrobe is instantly ransacked for similar pieces to try and pretend I can look like her. Because, who wouldn't? And the same thing happens with Elsa Hosk. Surely she has one of the most enviable wardrobes in the whole world? What I would do to have a rummage in her walk-in. But the thing is, though, some celebrities are more private —starting a petition for Kendall Jenner to post more outfit pics—and they can be harder to find. Which is why I went on a search to find the papped pictures that may have gone under the radar to find us all some new spring outfit inspiration.
What did I find? Alexa Chung is set to bring back the logo T-shirt, Laura Harrier has shown a preppy way to wear the humble half-zip sweater and Zoë Kravitz's high/low look featuring a technical jacket and a satin slip is one you'll no doubt want to wear for upcoming evening plans. These are the 5 A-list-approved spring ensembles I will be recreating, and you'll no doubt be quick to follow suit.
5 Celebrity-Approved Spring 2026 Outfits:
1. Kendall Jenner: Tank Top + Tailored Trousers + Thong Sandals
Style Notes: We all remember that Kendall white tank, white shirt and cream trousers outfit that every fashion person worldwide recreated in 2021, right? Well this is the new formula to follow for spring. Proof that monochrome never fails, combining a staple tank, tailored trousers with matching accessories will never fail to look polished.

2. Alexa Chung: Car Coat + Logo T-shirt + Khaki Trousers
Style Notes: I pretty much gasped at every one of Alexa Chung's fashion week looks, and this one was no different. Although simple when you break it down—a logo tee, khaki trousers and a car coat—together, with the more exciting shoes and bag choice, makes for the perfect everyday look worth recreating from your own wardrobe.

Alexa proves the wrong shoe theory still work with pink mules.
3. Zoë Kravitz: Technical Jacket + Slip Skirt + Heels
Style Notes: I'm sure you've seen this now iconic Zoë Kravitz look from the Saint Laurent show. And yes, of course it's top-to-toe Laurent. To get a similar vibe, though, it's all about juxtaposing more practical pieces (the funnel neck jacket) with dressier items (the satin skirt and heels), and somehow, they just work together to create a fresh spring look.

4. Elsa Hosk: Breton Cardigan + Wide-Leg Jeans + Heels
Style Notes: If I could swap wardrobes with any celebrity in the world, it would be Elsa Hosk. Never failing to give endless outfit inspiration, this Chanel ensemble is one that's surprisingly easy to copy. A Breton knit or top worn with your favourite baggy jeans, paired with timeless matchy-matchy accessories is all you need.

5. Laura Harrier: Half-Zip Sweater + Mini Skirt + Loafers
Style Notes: If you've already added a half-zip sweater to your wardrobe, you'll be interested in this one. Instead of copying the spring/summer Chanel look (over a T-shirt with belted jeans), make like Laura Harrier and wear unzipped with a mini and loafers for a preppy feel. Personally I would add socks, because, blisters.
