Star Looks for Less!

BROOKLYN DECKER

There’s blue and then there’s electric blue. Choose a dress in the latter and stand out like Brooklyn. Her mini’s pleated trim and black detailing keep it flirty, while her peep-toe sling backs add a sexy touch.

CAMERON DIAZ

Double denim never looked so good! Wearing fitted pieces in different washes (like Cameron’s light jacket and indigo Earnest Sewn jeans) is the key to pulling off the tricky combo seen on the . And adding cool accessories – like a tomato-red bag, Brian Atwood sandals and modified cat-eye frames – doesn’t hurt either.

ELLE MACPHERSON

KATE MIDDLETON

You don’t have to be royalty to get away with an all-white ensemble like . She pairs her Alexander McQueen coat with a Jane Corbett hat, a sparkly clutch and nude pumps, but for a more wearable look skip the hat and add some funky jewelry.

SOFIA VERGARA

Feeling groovy? Then do as does and rock a dip-dyed maxi dress. Her funky accessories – multiple bangles and platform sandals – only add to the boho vibe.

ASHLEY GREENE

The plays with prints and textures to prove that head-to-toe gray doesn’t have to be a snooze. We love the mix of floral-print ankle pants, a white-trimmed silky top (both by J Brand) and her black Rachel Zoe Collection flats.

MINKA KELLY

Sometimes all it takes is one great piece to look outstanding. Case in point: Minka’s purple maxi. The floor-length dress is understated, yet totally eye-catching. And the frock makes such a statement that it really doesn’t need any accessorizing.

CHERYL COLE

It’s official: sweatshirts are chic. Cheryl’s cozy leopard-print top is suited for anywhere but the gym. And her cuffed denim and pointy-toe nude heels finish off the unexpectedly hot look.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER

Stay cool in breezy, light fabrics – like those making up ensemble. Her button-front midi and scoop neck shirt are comfortable, but don’t feel dowdy. Ditto for those T-strap wedges.

JENNIFER ANISTON

You’ll have to excuse us while we get out our credit cards to buy this double-breasted navy blazer. wears it with jeans (though thankfully she ditched (these jeans), aviators and a tee, but you could also throw the topper over a maxi.

BRITNEY SPEARS

Tired of your body-hugging mini? Apparently is too. Her white fit-and-flare dress is a fun and flirty alternative to those skintight sheaths she used to favor – and it looks great with platforms or flats.

OLIVIA PALERMO

To add a sophisticated touch to her basic black shorts, nautical top, Manolo Blahnik pumps and Fabergé necklace, Olivia wears an oversize black-and-white tux-style blazer. (Is anyone else starting to feel like Olivia’s sole mission in life is to induce wardrobe envy?)

ZOË SALDANA

Stay cool by pairing a gauzy white tee with a printed maxi skirt, like the stylish does in a Rails maxi. She keeps the ensemble relaxed by leaving the top untucked and wearing flip-flops and a cross-body, but you can easily make it evening-appropriate by adding wedges and tucking the tee.

OLIVIA MUNN

Or, if you’d rather show off your stems, follow the actress’s lead and go with a flouncy pink mini. Wearing it short (think: thigh-grazing) and high on your waist makes your legs look like they go on for miles. Add simple heels and a cream-colored top and voilà, you’re ready for date night.

ALI LARTER

There are so many things we love about Ali’s LWD: the flattering bustier top, the hot-right-now eyelet, the tan-enhancing shade and the delicate sheer overlay. Her funky Dannijo necklace, Coach clutch and light brown sandals only add to the summery appeal!

JENNIFER HUDSON

SOFIA VERGARA

Va-va-voom! Is trying to remind her ex of what he’s missing? The TV star shows off her killer curves in a short-sleeve LWD with a scoop neckline. Follow her accessorizing lead and choose an equally colorful bag, plus nude pumps – they’ll elongate your legs!

BRITTANY SNOW

If you’ve been living in maxi dresses (guilty as charged) and want to switch things up, we recommend a maxi skirt. You can give the piece a casual beachy feel by wearing it with a tee or make it evening-appropriate, like Brittany does by topping it with a sexy black blouse and teal accessories.

JENNIFER ANISTON

Looking for a dress so head-turning it’ll cause whiplash? Snag a white high-slit gown just like , which is leg-baringly similar to another famous lady’s dress. Then add strappy sandals and a chic clutch (hers is Valentino, but the ones at left are a tad more accessible!).

JENNIFER LAWRENCE

A crocheted white maxi dress screams summertime, especially when paired with brown leather accessories like Candela dress and Tory Burch shoes and bag. If you’re hitting the beach, you can also wear it a chic swimsuit cover-up.

JESSICA ALBA

We hope your credit card is out because this breezy hat (hers is Tory Burch) is a summer must-have. It goes with the vibrant getup of a simple cotton AG Adriano Goldschmied maxi and yellow Theonne cardi, but would look equally chic with neutrals or a bikini.

LEA MICHELE

Cheat on your staid black blazer with a glitzy one like . Just one word of advice: avoid looking like you came from a tap dance dress rehearsal by pairing the metallic topper with more subdued pieces, like a simple black skirt and a tee or a pair of skinny jeans.

KRYSTEN RITTER

Don’t trust the B in Apartment 23, but do trust the leading lady’s fashion sense. Tie-dye is a funky alternative to floral if you’re not a girlie-girl. Plus, the silhouette (and on-trend skin-baring cutout) is sexy and flattering.

EMMA ROBERTS

The actress knows that fashion rules (like not wearing white before Memorial Day) are made to be broken and pairs a high-slit Rachel Zoe Collection skirt in that very shade with a cropped black top and a girlie cardigan. He-llo, new spring uniform!
