I Copied Kendall Jenner's Outfits for a Week—Here's What I Wore
Copy and Paste is a monthly column where Associate Fashion Editor Sierra Mayhew spends a week adopting the personal style of an it-girl. Whether it’s a street style or runway moment, you can count on every outfit being a wearable rendition of an iconic look.
When asked who my celebrity-style look-alike is, the first name that always comes to mind is Kendall Jenner. Despite the pressure of being one of the most influential models in the fashion industry, she never takes her wardrobe too seriously. Diving into the most fun trends of the moment, she's experimenting and isn't afraid to play around with color and statement pieces. At the same time, she leans into classic motifs, silhouettes, and trusty wardrobe staples. If any celebrity has mastered the art of the high-low wardrobe, meaning a balanced mix of designer and affordable pieces, it's Jenner. Countless times, we've caught here styling something that costs under $250 and then watching it sell out shortly after.
All of the things that I said about Jenner above resonate so much with my personal style, so when I was deciding which celebrity wardrobe to copy, she was who I thought of immediately. Her outfits are easy to re-create and I was even able to include many of the wardrobe staples that are already in my closet, which was a huge win for me. Below, see the six outfits that were so easy for me to copy that you'll have to re-create them too.
Every It girl right now is loving tailored trousers, and Jenner let her pair take center stage by choosing them in this bold green colorway. If you're ever looking for proof of the power that a white tank top holds, this is it.
Shop the look:
You're going to need a pair of shoes like this if you want to look like Jenner.
I remember the day that Jenner wore this knit top like it was yesterday because it was such an iconic moment. One of my friends immediately sent me the photo showing that the item itself was on preorder. Well, now, it's fully in stock, so join me in wearing it all summer long.
Shop the look:
Cute activewear sets are a big staple in Jenner's closet. We always catch paparazzi shots of her leaving a Pilates studio dressed in a head-to-toe coordinated look. A set like this should be high up on anyone's list who wants to imitate her.
Shop the look:
Mix and match it with a white bra if head-to-toe orange is too much for you.
Wearing black and red together has never failed a fashion person. Jenner inspired me to take the color combination to the next level by wearing the tube-dress trend, something she's always been a proponent of. It's such an easy way to make an LBD non-boring.
Shop the look:
Everyone loves a good Y2K trend, and graphic prints are everywhere right now. When Jenner wore her printed maxi dress, the crowds went wild, and everyone tried to steal her look. If you're in the mood to copy and paste, I found just the dress for you.
Shop the look:
Jenner has a collection of dresses that effortlessly grace her body. Two things she'll be looking for this summer include maxi hemlines and cotton poplin fabrics. She has a very similar dress to this one in red, so I just know she'd love this yellow one as well.
Shop the look:
I have never seen a better dress than this yellow number. Every single detail won me over.

Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, trying the latest fitness craze in New York City, or exploring luxury vintage boutiques.
