Today, I want to talk about fashion inspiration. Sometimes, it can be difficult to come up with new outfits, and I often get asked about how you’re supposed to keep up with it all. In an industry where everything changes every other day, how do you stay inspired without buying a whole new wardrobe weekly?

There’s a lot of creativity involved in fashion – even if it’s just in choosing how you wear the few basic pieces you have. Just like artists and writers look for inspiration to keep their creativity flowing, fashionistas need inspiration, too!

There are many ways to find fashion inspiration (which I’ll discuss more later), but one easy way is to have a celebrity fashion muse.

What is a celebrity fashion muse?

A celebrity fashion muse is someone you look to for fashion inspiration. You can check out what this celebrity wears, take notes on how they wear different items, what colors look good on them, etc. It’s a way to keep your style current while you learn about fashion.

Taking fashion notes from a celebrity is also a good way to get a feel for how your body type may look in different types of clothing. Want to try a pair of high-waisted pants but aren’t sure if they’ll look right?

Let your celebrity fashion muse do it first, and observe their results before you buy a pair yourself.

Why celebrities?

These days, they have really amazing stylists and are basically walking fashion editorials going to Starbucks. And because these famous people pay a professional to dress them and have access to all the latest designer clothes, observing them is a great way to find out about the newest trends & pieces before they hit stores.

How To Pick A Celebrity Fashion Muse

So, how do you go about choosing a celeb to be your fashion inspiration of the moment? Here are some points to consider when you go about finding the perfect one.

  • Look for someone who looks like you. In terms of hair color, height, etc., look for someone that you think you resemble. Don’t expect to find a perfect clone of yourself in Hollywood, but find someone that you identify with.
  • Find a celeb with a similar body type. This isn’t a must, but it really helps when it comes to figuring out what types of clothes will look best on you.
  • Look for a similar sense of personal style. Another bonus. If you can find a celeb who’s personal style resembles your own, that’s another great way to get inspiration and exposure to new pieces that you may like.

Here are some examples of celebrity fashion muses to get you started. These are just some examples of celebrities with large followings – if you hate them all, feel free to find your own!

1. Hailey Bieber

Channel Hailey’s effortlessly cool street style with oversized blazers, cropped tees, and high-waisted mom jeans. Don’t forget chunky sneakers and sleek shades for a finishing touch.

2. Zendaya

Embrace Zendaya‘s bold and fearless fashion sense by rocking vibrant colors, daring patterns, and unexpected silhouettes. Think power suits with feminine details, dramatic capes, and statement jewelry.

3. Rihanna

Rihanna’s style is all about owning your sexiness and confidence. Think bodycon dresses with thigh-high slits, oversized denim jackets over lingerie, and sky-high heels. Neon accents and statement accessories are your friends.

4. Sofia Richie

If you love a feminine vibe with an “old money” feel, Sofia’s your girl. Neutral-toned maxi dresses, delicate lace tops, and quiet luxury basics are staples in her wardrobe.

5. Selena Gomez

Selena’s style is all about effortless chic with a playful twist. Think comfy rompers, cute sundresses, and vintage-inspired denim paired with sneakers or ankle boots. Don’t forget a pop of color!

6. Taylor Swift

Taylor’s style has evolved from country charm to sophisticated glam. Channel her current vibe with preppy staples like pleated skirts and cable-knit sweaters, or embrace her love for feminine dresses and bold red lips.

7. Bella Hadid 

Bella’s street style is all about edgy sophistication. She loves crop tops, low-rise jeans, leather jackets, and graphic tees paired with sneakers and Y2K bags. Don’t shy away from bold makeup and statement sunglasses.

8. Tiffany Young

Tiffany’s style is a playful mix of K-pop trends and Western chic, with bold colors, quirky prints, and unexpected pairings like feminine dresses with statement sneakers. Rock a high ponytail and statement earrings for extra points.

9. Ashley Graham

Ashley‘s all about celebrating curves and owning your confidence. Think bodycon dresses with bold prints, high-waisted jeans with crop tops, and statement jackets that accentuate your figure.

10. Billie Eilish

Billie’s style is as unique as her music. To get her vibe, go for oversized streetwear, baggy silhouettes, and bold graphic prints. Layer on necklaces, rings, and bucket hats for an extra dose of her signature edge.

Remember, these are just starting points! Don’t be afraid to mix and match elements from different muses or add your own personal touch. The most important thing is to feel confident and express your unique style. So channel your inner fashion icon and rock those outfits with sass!

One Reminder:

A quick note of caution on this: When you look for inspiration in celebrity outfits, always add your own individual twist to their look. It’s no fun to copy someone’s outfit piece for piece: it’s like fashion plagiarism!

Let celebrity outfits and styles inspire you, but don’t rip the picture out of the magazine and buy every single piece. Have the confidence to wear your own version of their look and change it to suit you.

  1. Emma Watson is my celebrity muse lol. But I do have to say I love Jessica Simpson for brining back some southern chic style, and since were the same height – 5’2 I love how being short doesn’t stop her from her style. :))! On the other hand i think that Eva, and Nicole’s sense of style is more me [ out of the people listed on here haha ]

  3. I really really really wish i could have a fashion muse which i could stick to but as some other girls up there, i’m asian too, so i cant actually find someone whose similar to me………. anyone for help?

  4. Yeah, same problem as a couple of girls above, since I’m Asian. I also don’t have a typical Asian figure, because I’m taller, rather full-chested for being an Asian, and have an athletic figure and broad shoulders. It’s pretty difficult to find looks that would complement me, but I like Blair Waldorf’s preppy look and Agyness Deyn.

  5. I can’t relate to many of the girls cause I’m Indian, and MIA is much wilder than I am. I really like Sonam Kapoor’s style, though i don’t really follow anything she wears.

  8. Karl Lagerfeld est un génie pour la maison Chanel et Fendi. As well as John Galliano for the house of DIOR.

  9. Even though she’s a fictitious character… Serena van der Woodsen, all the way. We have sort of the same build, except that she’s a bit taller, but the long blonde hair, thin frame… plus her sense of style is fabulous. It doesn’t even look like she’s trying, either!

  10. I think my favorite celebrity muse would have to be lauren conrad. I know she is a little vanilla in her styling but it seems classy and comfortable at the same time. I love the laid back Cali styles she wears and the simple hairstyles. The single french braid across her head was awesome. Love her. If you are looking for a muse of your own go to http://www.celebritydress4less.com and they have tons of celebrity looks and they show you where to find the items at budget prices. I love to look like a celebrity but I am definately on a budget.

  11. I look like Amerie but more petite (small-boned and model-thin) and I’m tall, with small breasts. Can’t think of one fashionista that looks like me. I’m not looking for a celeb twin but even a little resemblance would be nice. I can’t pull off Rihanna, Beyonce, and Jennifer Hudson’s styles. 🙁

  12. Emma Watson is definately my top fashion muse. She is always dressed classic and girly and yet, she is not afraid to take risks sometimes.

    I also look up to Scarlett Johannson because she always dresses to her body type and it looks almost effortless.

  13. I would consider these girls my muses…

    Blair Waldorf- I know, I know, she’s just a character but she has quite a following and note-worthy style. I wouldn’t say Leighton Meester even though she plays Blair just because their styles do differ. Blair (Leighton) and I don’t have the same body type or features really though. I’m 5’7 size 2-6 usually a 4 and golden-brown eyes and blonde hair. I also identify with Jenny Humphrey’s (Taylor Momsen) old style.

    Heidi Klum- I really love her and her style. She works a lot of styles but keeps it consistent somehow. She always looks amazing on the red-carpet!
