Here’s the thing—I don’t even really like to shop in IRL stores and much prefer online. But if given the random opportunity to go shopping with one of the six celebrities I’m about to name, I’d show up at a brick-and-mortar store with bells on. When making a purchase, especially a luxury investment one, an outside opinion is invaluable. But it should be someone whose taste you trust. And given how exhaustively I study what celebrities wear, I know which ones have the best taste.
At this time in my life and for this particular season, there are six celebs, in particular, that I’d be thrilled to go on a shopping trip with—even if it’s just a virtual one. They always have the latest designer It items, but style them in ways that don’t make it seem like they’re trying too hard or like they just stepped off a runway. They’re probably not all that surprising because fashion people and non-fashion people alike are all obsessed with them, but here goes. Keep scrolling to shop the items I predict they’d tell me to buy.
Jennifer Lawrence
I think we can all agree that Jennifer Lawrence gives off major shopping buddy energy. She wears a lot of designer pieces—The Row, Jil Sander, Loewe, Toteme, and so on—but she opts for easy-to-wear items, and styles them in the most effortless, “cool girl” of ways. Also, who wouldn’t want to experience Lawrence’s witty banter first-hand?
