On and off the runway, the model has consistently made fashion’s key looks her own by  putting a luxe spin on boho chic, elevating rock star style, and even giving a haute twist to girl-boss dressing. We admire her way of adapting trending fashion, making it suit her body, and putting her own unique style into it.

TAILORED WIDE LEG PANTS

Take a cue from Kate Moss and forgo basic black in favor of pastels and bold colors this Summer. Turn heads like a star and shine bright in your own favorite color pants this season. We like cool coral wide leg pants offset by a lovely polka dot blouse, perfect for the office or business meetings. Carry your look to lunch with the girls by changing into your favorite ballerina flats, or chill at the pool by switching to sandals, a straw floppy hat, unbuttoning your blouse at the bottom and tying the ends for a loose “crop top” style.

RETRO 70’S TIE DYE PRINT

For the young at heart, why not throwback to vintage 70’s style with a pair of tie dye wide leg pants. With”Boho chic” trending this season, now is the perfect time to have a little fun with fashion. We like black and white printed wide leg pants paired with a flowy button down and strappy sandals for the perfect summer office look. Or, if you’re feeling a bit daring, go with a bright teal tie dye look over your favorite swimsuit on the way to the pool or beach. Get groovy and have a little throwback fun with your Summer style.

LOVELY LACE

Our other favorite “Boho chic” style this Summer is lace crochet. From ponchos, to shorts, to blouses, to dresses, this is the perfect Season to feel free and fancy in lovely lace. Dressed up or dressed down, try out Summer’s lacy style with your own pair of white ivory lace crochet palazzo pants. To avoid clashing and too much “bulk”, be sure to offset your lace wide leg bottoms with a smooth, fitted top, accentuating a small waistline. You can dress up your lace pant style with a pretty pink satin draped top  and strappy sandals for nighttime dinner and dancing. However you choose to wear your lace, you are sure to bring a touch of romance to your summer fun.

Enjoy and indulge in nature as you jog along the coastline, take a walk in the park, bike the trails, or hike the mountains. Toss your basic black to the side, and put a little fun into your workout wardrobe this Season with a pair of bold, floral leggings.

CELEBRITY STYLE YOU CAN WEAR

The fashion industry has changed significantly over the past several years. The rise of the “supermodel” is on the decline, and today, we are finding trends to fit all shapes and personalities. By marketing fashion and design through our favorite celebrities, designers have made style much more attainable then strenuously reaching for the Runway. Through social media and the internet, our favorite celebs show us daily how we can dress in style. This week we will show you how you can get your favorite “celebrity style” without breaking the bank. Even though most of us will never make a film or walk the Red Carpet, we can still be a “star” in our everyday style.

TAYLOR SWIFT’S MODERN “IT” GIRL STYLE

Taylor Swift continues to shine in the music industry AND on the fashion scene by surrounding herself with successful people across all entertainment genres. She is the “golden girl” for fashion designers as well as music fans. We love Taylor Swift’s trendy yet polished style. She has easily made the transition from teen sensation to the classy all American sweetheart. Get Taylor’s polished style with Hudson’s Collin skinny jeans in light wash, and pair with a bright yellow duffle coat from Nordstrom, also perfect for the Spring months ahead. Accessorize with your favorite tall leather boots and bright red slouch hat from Shopbop, and you too can pull off the same Taylor style.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD’S CHIC GLAM

Starting as a country singer, Carrie Underwood has managed to break the barriers on what we usually think of when we think “country star.” She has appeared on magazine covers, Broadway musicals, and TV specials, broadening her appeal across all audiences.

JULIANNE HOUGH’S ROCKER’S EDGE

From dancer to A-list celebrity, Julianne Hough has developed a style all her own. Since separating from host Ryan Seacrest, Julianne chopped her hair and has taken charge of her career as a successfully independent artist. We love her short bob and her “rocker’s edge” style. Get Julianne’s rocker look with Hudson’s “Alex” skinny leg jeans paired with a basic white tee. Glam up the look with a DKNY black leather jacket with fur trim, Steve Madden black leather booties and a black felt fedora from Nordstrom. Accessorize with a bright yellow Vera Bradley handbag for a pop of color, also trending for Spring 2015.

Anne Hathaway has played everything from Disney’s princess to drug addicted outcast, and throughout her career, she has always managed to maintain poise and grace much like a modern day “Audrey Hepburn.” Her style has changed throughout her growing career, and we love the new modern yet classic look she has been sporting lately. Though we were sad to see her long locks go, the short bob suits her new style. Get Anne’s classic look with Hale Bob’s metallic capri pants and ivory bolero jacket. Finish the look with classic Versace ivory pumps and an elegant Diane von Furstenberg gold clutch and you are Red Carpet ready.

HEIDI KLUM’S SHABBY CHIC

Supermodel Heidi Klum can pull off any look from elegant to casual. She’s had enormous success throughout her modeling career and she is one of the few “older” supermodels still thriving in the business, due to her healthy lifestyle and positive attitude on life. In her book, age is just a number. Heidi always surprises us with her look and style. We like the effortless, everyday look here on the Red Carpet for an event in New Zealand. Get Heidi’s easy breezy look with Hale Bob’s pink floral capri pants. Mix patterns by pairing with a black and white silk floral button down top from Hale Bob for one of this year’s top fashion trends. Finish the look with Manalo Blahnik chic black pumps, tousle your hair with Bumble and Bumble texturizing creme and you are ready to step out in style just like a supermodel.

SOFIA VERGARA’S HOT GLAM

Nobody knows how to arrive with flare better than spicy, sultry Sofia Vergara. Though she’s known for her hot style, Sofia also has a quirky sense of humor and can laugh at herself in good taste. She always arrives in glamorous style to Awards Ceremonies and Red Carpet events, however she also knows how to turn on the charm in her casual street style. We love her casual yet sexy street style spotted here on the streets of L.A. Get Sofia’s cool casual style with Hale Bob’s Cabana silk shirtdress paired with Chinese Laundry’s nude wedges and you are ready for some stylish shopping. We love Hale Bob’s cool collection of “Cabana Wear,” with everything from shirts, swimsuits, skirts, and dresses perfect for that sexy chic warmer weather style.

KATE BECKINSALE’S GIRLY CHIC

Actress Kate Beckinsale has always pulled off the girly “cute” look, with a modern touch, appropriate for her age. She keeps her luscious locks healthy and loose, and opts for no nonsense fresh makeup with Dior Addict ultra gloss and Maybelline’s Great lash mascara. Her style approach is girly yet sophisticated, like many of her film and television roles. Try Kate’s “romantic” layered look with an Elizabeth and James “Marian” ivory blouse under Top Shop’s black cropped sweater. Finish the look with your favorite black skinny jeans and Moero’s black ankle boots. Kate’s look is perfect for the fluctuating weather during the late Winter and early Spring weeks ahead. For chillier days, drape a white Selected coat from Asos over your shoulders for that perfect “celeb” touch.

MILA KUNIS’ 50’s THROWBACK

After taking some time off to have her baby, Mila Kunis is back in the limelight with a whole new softer gentler style than she had pre-baby. In the past few weeks, Mila has appeared on talk shows and events displaying that “new mom glow” complete with a romantic take on 50’s fashion, updated for 2015. We love the new Mila and are looking forward to what she will surprise us with next. Get Mila’s “50’s throwback” look with a white Calvin Klein mid-length dress and accessorize with dainty Casadei pastel pink heels.
