Walk The Talk: Dress Like Hollywood Beauties
We have come a long way from the 1950s classic Hollywood glamorous attire and the early 2000s star-studded outfits and paparazzi-ready looks. Which also included jeans under a dress with large belts trend. It was a time when everyone wore clothes off the rack; celebrities would wear shoes that could easily be found in retail outlets and everyone followed the same five major fashion publications to keep up with trends. Skip to the present, where thanks to the popularization of social media and especially Tiktok along with (unfortunately) fast fashion, but we all have nudged into the direction of self-expression.
Self-expression through fashion is not a new thing, queer people, alt + rock celebrities have been doing their own subculture fashion for decades. What is new about this is the importance it places on certain aesthetics. The 2 years of Covid-19 pandemic changed a lot of things, and it also changed the way fashion works and is understood. Many of us have given up on looking presentable because we know how futile it is, some of us learned that life is futile, and think we might as well look nice while doing absolutely nothing.
hottest topics of conversation in the Hollywood fashion forum has been the Anne Hathaway’s Fashion Renaissance. She is often seen experimenting with different textures and bolder designs. Being one of the few best-dressed celebrities she is often also seen as THE style inspiration. So we have taken four distinct classic Anne looks that include something you can get inspired by for different occasions; to help you look like an A-list hollywood diva. We love hyper-accurate descriptions of outfits, but the main point of this is how do you dress like your favs on a budget because none of us are:

a. Anne Hathway
b. Andie Sacks
c. Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldi the Queen of Genovia
All in all, we think, as the internet proclaims this to be Anne Hathway’s newfound style; which we assume is probably a result of the Y2K clothing popularisation. Hathway was a prominent
figure in almost every person growing up in the 2000s. With the release of Devil Wears Prada, she shook up every young millennial of what the fashion world looked like from the inside. It was the start for many younglings to start their journey into fashion. Speaking of fashion, while it may seem that Anne Hathaway’s current style is way more experimental than before; the basis of her looks remains consistent. She knows that someone with her body type and presentation; structured looks suit her the best. Right from the early 2000s to now; her outfits always have one element that is classic or solid. For example, either a structured pair of boots, pointy heels with a pantsuit, or even a boxy handbag. Even on days when she is not attending glamorous events, she puts together looks from the same idea. As the image shows, a structured bag, straight-cut jeans, and her mask; all of these are tied together with similar shades of blue. Her belt and shoes match, and a simple pair of espadrille wedge-heel sandals elevate any simple look immediately. As for her skincare, we all know she took the elixir of youth and mixed it in with her moisturizer. Just kidding, she looks like most people of her age; however, her glow these days often seems to be from the fact that she's just having fun. Her makeup team is slaying it as usual, with classic cool-toned pink or red lipstick and blush. Keeping her youthful flush, which elevates her style too.
A lovely person who is known to rule this type of simple and structured style is Selena Gomez, she is often known to be a fashion and kindness icon. She keeps her looks simple with one bold element that sets her looks apart from others. The beauty with brains and loads of kindness, Selena Gomez, lives up to the legacy of (Selena Quintallina) her namesake. As a former Disney child, she has had her fair share of ups and downs but has never lost sight of what is important. Her fashion has been impeccable since we first saw her as Alex Russo in Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place.
In the early 2000s and 2010s maximalist, the fast-fashion chic style developed into a refined and more mature wardrobe, influencing millions. She maintains grace and edginess even in her outfits, she is strong and does not take that for granted. Which is reflected in her style- mainly consisting of warm reds, navy blues, warm white, and black. As you can see in the first outfit below, she is wearing all her classic colors, black, navy blue, and a warm red purse. Another signature style of hers is sleek black hair, a true nod to her Latina roots and classic hollywood dress style.
Another queen on this list is Bella Hadid; how can we talk about fashion in the 2020s without mentioning the best dressed supermodel who rules the runways. Right from the iconic Coperni spray painted-on white dress to her infamous model-off-duty looks. Off the runway, her style is deemed to be one of the best alongside her friend and fellow model, Kendall Jenner. They are frequently go-to inspirations for laid-back and relaxed looks. Making even a basic white tee and blue jeans combination viral. A lot of Bella’s style lately is inspired by early 2000s cargo and parachute pants with fitting solid vests or t-shirts. She is often spotted in sneakers or flats, even on the runway we rarely see her in high heels.
Something about her screams French Chic with a hint of classic Americana. A new TikTok trending sound, “my name…my name is Bella Hadid” is often used to signify making healthier choices. The sound is also used to mock fitness culture, such as drinking water with a lemon slice. Her style has evolved to a degree that can be copied but never to the degree to which she carries them.
Model and social media sensation, Hailey Beiber barely goes a day without hitting the headlines. Her style, her aura, and presence have dominance in both real life and social media. Her style has evolved with her fellow models who have taken on the y2k off-duty looks. Biber’s style remains to be made of her favorite elements; simple, structured, and oversized. Resembling the NYC chic look, she is seen in a lot of leather pieces, her outfits usually include a statement leather piece, either a jacket, blazer, or boots. Just like her monochrome brown outfit, she has brought out a chic and sexy edge on the blazer dress and boots combo.
The boots are thigh-high, and the contrasting white bag makes the look more put together. Along with what makes the look more interesting to dissect is her signature tied-back hair with a y2k spiky hair loo. Hailey surely likes to keep her duty looking basic and safe. Showing that even monochrome looks can be made to look interesting despite them requiring the least amount of effort. All you need is colors that are within the same shade range. For example, cream and off-white can be put together. But Hailey has put together a cream color coat with a matching pair of boots and a handbag. Hailey Bieber’s looks are surely easy to replicate thus the appeal of her style and looks. This is rare to find in celebrity street style lately as everything they wear could be a sourced-out look for promotion. Hailey Beiber seems to be focused on creating her own distinguished look.
Our personal favorite fashionista is Zendaya, she has always been a fashion girl since her shake-it-up days. Sometimes we also find ourselves looking through KC undercover for style inspiration because along with That’s So Raven and Lizzie Macquire it remains to be the only Disney show with time-accurate and cute outfits (sorry Hannah). She’d often seen in a multitude (pun intended) of outfits. Glamorous on red carpets and show appearances and down in some sweatpants and sneakers in Euphoria or while running errands. What we know for sure is that Zendaya or Law Roach surely loves putting her in pumps that match her outfits. So the key essential you need to dress like Z is a good pair of pumps.
They need to be pointed-toe ones, and since not all of us can invest in colorful pumps, we suggest looking into pumps that are simple but come with some sort of interesting embellishment or classic colored ones like black, beige, or white. For a low-key look, she always relies on a good pair of Converse, also seen on her Euphoria and Spiderman characters Rue and MJ respectively. Back in 2016, Zendaya also gained popularity for her astonishing makeup skills that even put James Charles (a prominent beauty guru at the time) to shame.
Her radiant skincare routine caused the popularity of Witch Hazel sales. And even her enabling the normalization of naturally curly hair care routines, which encouraged everyone else to also show off their natural hair at formal events. She remains to be the kind of person who is just really radiant inside and out. She is here to work and have a fun time with the people she loves. Talented hardworking women who show us that beauty just doesn't exist in a bottle or palette. The above-mentioned women are out there doing their jobs fabulously and also encouraging people to be kind regardless of how people react to their lives. Hailey and Selena’s alleged feud kept making headlines despite neither of them having said anything. Zendaya’s latest visit to India and wearing Rahul Mishra’s sari at the Neeta Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre opening has captured the heart of the Indian and global South Asian diaspora.
