t the pinnacle of excellence lies deliberate effort. Whether in business, cooking, or even fashion, the more you put into your craft, the better you become at it. Indeed, the celebs with a reputation for submitting fashionable ensembles are those notorious for going a little bit further. From polished red carpets to effervescent streets, these stars shine, clad in offerings that underscore thoughtfulness. As you head into the weekend, we implore you to look to these ladies for an SR-certified take on fashion.
Knowing what to wear at all times is a flex, and one of the ways to achieve a constant flow is by drawing from the wealth of other rivers. This weekend, the rivers could be celebrities having a nice time at the Met Gala after-party, doing press rounds for a new movie, or making an impression at a product launch. Whatever the occasion, there’s a fashionable celeb outfit waiting to be aligned with your weekend goals, so you shouldn’t sleep on them.
Be inspired by at least one fashionable celeb outfit from last week’s events…
#1. Jennifer Lopez
Sheer has blatantly refused to release our necks. Season after season, they come in creative representations that make our heads swoon. Think sheer tops, pants, jackets, and…basically everything! Jennifer Lopez clocked into this vibe on her ATLAS premiere in New York in a pastel sheer offering. Featuring a long-sleeve crew neck top, wide-leg pants, and a cozy coat, she finished the look with a matching baguette bag and dainty jewelry. At your next birthday shoot, slip into this look to lend a polished air to sexiness.
#2. Beyoncé
Beyoncé took the American flag for a spin, with a subtle political statement, and got individuals mad. Whatever the case, she managed to work the flag into a cowgirl fantasy. Bey tucked in a graphic shirt into shimmering shorts, belted it up, and threw on a fringe-detailed American flag-esque jacket and boots for more edge. Elevate your shorts-and-graphic-tee combo with statement boots, a fringe jacket, and a cowgirl hat when heading to a music concert.
#3. Bella Hadid
Strolling into a luxury perfume launch in a lacy corset dress is top-tier girly energy. Taking a hint from Bella Hadid in this ROKH number, we learn that an asymmetric-hem dress with tiers of frills accentuates the frame and boosts morale. This weekend, show off your feminine streak with a lace midi dress. It’s all the rizz required.

#4. Kerry Washington
Animal prints are both timeless and trendy. Breathe life into an event this weekend by introducing a ritzy animal print dress. Make more impact like Kerry Washington in this Oscar de la Renta pick for the Met Gala after-party by rocking an edgy hairstyle and sliding into comfortable black pumps. The goal of this look is to move easily, trimming off all excesses. This is a good idea for a brief trip to the gallery or for a private movie viewing. You can grab a jacket in case the venue becomes chilly.
#5. Celine Dion
The Queen came back with a bang and checked in with a Vogue Cover. With the talented Law Roach in her corner, the looks were as heartwarming as they were elegant. Celine Dion was beautifully clad in a monochrome coordination that delivered on sass. The Hermes split-sleeve outerwear married the front-zip leather top and mini skirt in a way that was befitting for a Vogue France feature. This fashionable celeb outfit can be replicated for a film festival or album launch.
#6. Gabrielle Union
A slinky black mini skirt paired with a black button-down shirt will add a strut to your strides. Push things further with gold accessories that stand out. Take a tip from Gabrielle Union and rock an all-black look in full finesse. This is a great option for a night out with friends when you want to reiterate your baddie status.
#7. Alicia Keys
We may still be in spring, but Alicia Keys is already in full summer mode. Offering retro fashion on a platter, the star slicked up her ’fro, slapped on bold red lipstick, and made a case for a neon jacket and utility jeans. Light up every room this weekend with blinding colors — whether at the games or a food truck festival. Remember your sunglasses and vintage belt for extra oomph.
#8. Ciara
Ciara donned a leather jacket and high-waisted skirt with thigh-high boots to represent the Moto fashion fad. This is how to rock leather in spring. The texture holds its own so much so that accessorizing can be kept at the bare minimum and the result would still be a bang. If you’re now used to overly feminine get-ups, this look is perfect for redefining your style to combat predictability.

#9. Serayah
Indeed, Serayah has a body like a weapon. Little wonder she slays every time. Recently, she stepped on necks as she swayed in a Marni skirt set. The unique skirt structure stood out (literally) and the jacket added a healthy dose of formality. One piece that plays up mini skirts are good boots; white boots. But you can switch the boots for kitten heels to attend a fundraising party.
#10. Tamron Hall
It’s cool to see more ladies rock suits on the red carpet effortlessly. Putting a spin on the trend, Tamron Hall attended the Variety Power of Women event in a dapper Alexander Wang suit. The gray three-piece was a breezy delight, and her pixie cut was perfect for keeping things together. Rock this look to a business convention or a formal party to make an androgynous statement.
