Whether you’re a budding fashionista or a keen fashion queen, following runway styles can feel daunting. After all, there’s a world of difference between those catwalk models and you. And let’s be frank, many of this year’s fashions would look bonkers anywhere other than up on stage.
Luckily, celebs are about as influential in the fashion world as catwalk designers, but they bring fashion into the real world in some pretty notable ways. Forget trying to visualize a catwalk style on the street, celebs provide the opportunity to see precisely how outfits translate to every day. What’s more, following their influence can see you at the cutting edge of what’s hot.
But, which styles does 2024 have its celebs to thank for?
# 1 – Boho Chic
You knew it was coming, and of course, it’s top of this list. Celebs have been rocking boho fashion ever since Miley Cyrus hit her hippy stage, and the trend isn’t going anywhere soon. A rundown of celebs’ styles for this summer sees sleek, flowing boho dresses cropping up time and again from celebs including Elle Fanning and Jodie Turner-Smith. In this year’s modern iteration of the trend, however, florals are out in place of sophisticated neutrals and lace details. There are certainly no flower crowns in sight. Instead, we’re seeing sleek white dresses paired with plain, straight hair styling. All the better to elongate those boho vibes.
# 2 – Cowboy Core
With Beyonce releasing her latest studio album ‘Cowboy Carter’ earlier this year, it’s hardly surprising Cowboy Core is once again hitting the tops of summer’s fashion peak. After all, who could resist that album cover, in which Beyonce rocks cowboy boots and a hat like no one before her? Sales of felt cowboy hats have certainly soared since its March release date, and they aren’t the only things. Cowboy Core this year also takes its roots from previous cowboy-rocking celebs like Dolly Parton and Brad Pitt to include iconic embroidered cowboy boots, and lacy leather crops galore.
# 3 – Sheer Styling
That leads us to our last style, and probably the dress highlight of 2024 – the trend of sheer styling. Catwalks this year have seen celebs including Dakota Johnson and Zoe Kravitz rocking dresses that, dare we say it, reveal a little more than their usual fashion fare. Sheer fabrics are simply all the rage, and they’re designed to reveal whatever’s going on underneath. Of course, you can’t rock this look with your comfy but slightly graying weekend bra. Instead, underwear is as much a main event with this fashion as the dress itself, and should include contrasting colors, lace designs, and, if you value your modesty, enough fabric to cover all your important parts.
Are celebs as clued into the latest styles as catwalk designs? Probably not, but they do have insider fashion knowledge. If you want fashion that works in the real world, it’s always a good idea to pay attention to what your favorite stars are wearing.
