There's a reason why fashion's top brands snatch up new celebrity talent the second they show signs of success: what they wear matters to fans, and more so, it affects the way millions of people shop, a fact that's become even more apparent in recent years. Many celebs have Instagram-style accounts that ID every one of their looks, whether they were worn to Erewhon or the Oscars. If they don't, their outfits are still identified on Star Style or by fashion publications.

All that's to say that when a celebrity like Jennifer Lawrence, Zendaya, or Hailey Bieber wears something by a certain brand, everyone's going to know about it, and if it's cute, they're going to want to buy it. That's a fact of life. And this year, the A-list has been on a roll, creating viral craze after viral craze with their street style. Think Lawrence's luxury slippers and Bieber's newest bag obsession. Ahead, find all of the items celebrities have made either sell out or come close to it this year, and shop what's left on shelves before it's too late.

There's a new It bag in town, and Hailey Bieber (as well as Italian model Vittoria Ceretti and Lindsey Lohan) are already all over it. Balenciaga's Rodeo bag—which comes in various colors, sizes, shapes, and materials—was introduced by the French brand in May 2024, and in the months since, has garnered quite the fanbase. Lauded for its classic, yet modern silhouette and versatility, the Rodeo is bound to become a future heirloom.

Arguably no dresses have caused quite as big a stir in 2024 as Chloé's boho frocks, worn most prominently by Daisy Edgar-Jones on the Twisters press tour, but also by Zoe Saldaña, Sienna Miller, and Sydney Sweeney. The viral dresses were designed by the French house's new creative director Chemena Kamali, whose elevated take on bohemian fashion has taken the industry by (pleasant) surprise.

Bella Hadid has a knack for introducing the world to new handbags that'll soon go viral. She first did it with Coach's Brooklyn bag this year and followed up quickly with Saint Laurent's Y Tote, which has also been spotted on Zoë Kravitz, Sofia Richie Grainge, Angelina Jolie, and Charli XCX.

Not only is Jennifer Lawrence the biggest possible fan of La Ligne's silk Colby Pants, but so is Meghan Markle, making them some of fashion's favorite bottoms by a landslide. Simply put, we're talking about hyper-luxurious pajama pants, and what could be more alluring than that?

As someone who took a two-hour train from London to Paris just to score a pair of these ultra-luxe house slippers, I can tell you with absolute certainty that they're just as spectacular as celebs like Dakota Johnson, Laura Harrier, and Lawrence make them appear to be. They're cushy, elegant, and so French. Charvet's slip-on suede shoes are more than worth the viral hype around them right now.

It really only takes a few celebrity sightings to return an anti-trend item into the trendiest piece of jewelry in all of fashion. Case in point? Elsa Peretti's Bone Cuffs, which have been around for decades but are currently getting another wave of attention thanks to celebs like Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Laura Harrier, Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez, and more.
