From Dakota Johnson to EmRata, These 8 Celebrities Have Already Nailed Autumn 2024 Style
Celebrities set a high bar when it comes to dressing for a new season, and this one is no different. Whether they're gliding from one glamourous event to another or enjoying a casual morning shopping in the city, the A-list have a knack for pulling together polished and on-trend outfits.
We've been paying close attention to their off-duty looks, eager to soak up some sartorial inspiration in time for autumn—and they haven't let us down. These celebrities' lives might be wildly different from our own, but their sense of style is refreshingly relatable. From classic trench coats to perfect-fitting denim, the staples they rely on are must-haves for everyone.
Some of our top picks include Dakota's understated cardigan-and-jeans look, Laura's ultra-tall boots and Rihanna's cocooning cover-up, though there are plenty of other highlights to discover. Keep scrolling to see the eight best celebrity autumn outfits and shop the pieces you'll need to recreate their style.
1. Dakota Johnson
Style Notes: Knitwear is fast becoming a daily staple as temperatures start dropping, but you don't have to jump straight to chunky wool sweaters. Team a neat cardi with loose-fitting jeans for an interesting play on proportions, as modelled effortlessly by Dakota Johnson.
Shop the look:
These slingbacks will make the baggy jeans feel a touch more elegant.
2. Jennifer Lawrence
Style Notes: J-Law's recent looks have solidified her status as a fashion muse, and this trench coat ensemble might just be our favourite. Plus, it involves several staples you probably already own: tailored trousers, ballet flats and a simple jumper to tie loosely over your shoulders.
Shop the look:
3. Laura Harrier
Style Notes: Sorry knee-highs, but thigh-high boots have officially topped our wish list. Take your cues from Laura Harrier and show a hint of skin with a mini skirt, then add a relaxed shirt to balance the leg-hugging silhouette.
Shop the look:
4. Rihanna
Style Notes: As soon as it hits single-digit temperatures, we'll be reaching for our longest, cosiest coats. But you don't have to sacrifice your style for practicality—see Rihanna's maxi coat look for proof you can tick both boxes.
Shop the look:
So sleek, and they'll go with just about everything.
5. Hunter Shafer
Style Notes: The most timeless way to wear a leather jacket will always be with blue jeans, but you can update the classic combo for 2024 by adding a headscarf. Thanks for the tip, Hunter.
Shop the look:
I always think Mango's denim is underrated. In my experience, it's affordable and long-lasting.
6. Hailey Bieber
Style Notes: Hailey Bieber's tonal look has autumn written all over it. I love the unexpected addition of a slingback kitten heel, but a pair of boots and tights would also work for everyday wear.
Shop the look:
If you've been put off by suede because of its sensitivity to water, look no further.
7. Emily Ratajkowski
Style Notes: A long leather trench coat is your ultimate power move this autumn, best paired with smart wide-leg trousers. We can see why this look has been given the EmRata seal of approval.
Shop the look:
Your confidence will double when you put on this coat.
8. Olivia Dean
Style Notes: Who What Wear UK cover start Olivia Dean proves that shorts can look chic in autumn by option for a very stylish wool two-piece. She pairs hers with chunky loafers and luxe accessories, but you could also add tights and riding boots for a preppier take.
