Here's the thing. I don't really like to shop in IRL stores and much prefer online. But if given the random opportunity to go shopping with one of the six celebrities I'm about to name, I'd show up at a brick-and-mortar store with bells on. When making a purchase, especially a luxury investment, an outside opinion is invaluable, but it should be someone whose taste you trust. Given how exhaustively I study what celebrities wear, I know which ones have the best taste.
At this time in my life and for this particular season, there are six specific celebs that I'd be thrilled to go on a shopping trip with—even if it's just a virtual one. They always have the latest designer It items but style them in ways that don't make it seem like they're trying too hard or like they just stepped off a runway. They're probably not all that surprising because fashion people and non-fashion people alike love them, but here goes. Keep scrolling to shop the items I predict they'd tell me to buy.
Jennifer Lawrence
I think we can all agree that Jennifer Lawrence gives off major "shopping buddy" energy. She wears a lot of designer pieces—The Row, Jil Sander, Loewe, Toteme, and so on—but she opts for easy-to-wear items and styles them in the most effortless, cool girl ways. Also, who wouldn't want to experience Lawrence's witty banter firsthand?

Zendaya

Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa's collection of designer bags alone is what dreams are made of, but her entire wardrobe is museum-worthy. She undoubtedly points her shopping buddies straight to the latest It items.

Elsa Hosk
Models are some of the most stylish celebrities on the planet, but one who really stands out is Elsa Hosk. Everything she wears is the perfect combination of trendy and classic. Also, let's not forget that she's the creative director of her label Helsa, so you know you can trust her taste.

Morgan Stewart
If you follow Morgan Stewart on Instagram, you know why I'd pick her. There's no shortage of designer It items in her closet, and her styling of them is low-key and accessible.
