20 Beautiful Pics Of Female Celebs Owning The Sidewalk Like A Runway
When we see celebrities strut their stuff on the red carpet, we know they've had a beauty team pour hours into perfecting their flawless look. Seriously, every female celeb at an A-list event is guaranteed to have had at least a hairdresser (or two), a makeup artist, a nail technician, and a stylist to work on achieving their look for the night. Celebs are going to look good when they hit the red carpet no matter what, so we can't really take that as an opportunity to judge their personal style or eye for fashion.
But street style is a whole other ball game! We can tell a lot of about a celebrity and their sense of style by what the paparazzi catch them wearing on the streets. Whether they're dressed down in jeans or are business casual on their way to a work meeting or event, it's like seeing a new side of a celebrity when they're not in stilettos and ball gowns. Street style is usually styled by the celebrity themselves. If a star has good street style, then you know they've got a real eye for fashion. Check out these 20 celebs who owned the street like it was their runway!
20 Selena Gomez: She Never Has A Bad Day
It's not hard to see why Selena Gomez is one of the biggest celebrities around thanks to her incredible street style! The star never disappoints when it comes to her outfits, both on and off the red carpet. On this day in the particular, the celeb opted for a sultry black two-piece set that showed off her petite frame.
Selena had all eyes looking at her as she made her way from her car to an interview in the all-black outfit. She's never looked better!
"I feel very empowered and confident and comfortable with where I am,” Selena recently said during an interview with On Air With Ryan Seacrest, according to US Magazine. “And I think it took me a long time to get there because, you know, the past year was so interesting because I've never been body-shamed before… I did gain weight, but I don't care."
For the longest time, Selena has spoken out against the ridiculous doubles standards for women (especially female celebs in Hollywood) are held to! "There's a certain standard women are held to,” she once said while speaking with Billboard. “So many women nowadays are so loud about it. We need to cause a bit of uproar, because I've seen it. I've experienced it. It's absurd."
19 Kendall Jenner: The Off-Duty Model Look
In the past five years, Kendall Jenner has made a name for herself as an international supermodel apart from her famous family. The celeb has proved she's got the talent to be a high profile model, and this photo also proves she has an amazing sense of style -which has definitely helped her career in the fashion industry! Kendall often chooses street style looks that are the perfect mix of edgy and glam, like this fashion-forward look that paired a lacy tank top with distressed jeans and a pair of statement booties.
Kendall has always maintained that confidence is the key to looking great in any outfit. “Being in a great outfit, showing a little leg. Honestly, just being confident in yourself and being the boss that you are,” she once said, according to Buzzfeed. Speaking about her insecurities and the hate she gets from the media, Kenny has also said: “I'm constantly criticised for being too skinny. I'm trying to gain weight but my body won't let it happen.” She continued, “What people don't understand is that calling someone too skinny is the same as calling someone too fat, it's not a nice feeling.”
We love that Kendall is able to rise above her haters and inspire us all with her body positivity!
18 Gigi Hadid: Fashion Runs In Her Blood
Considering that her Mama is a former supermodel and both of her siblings are also international models, it's no surprise that Gigi looks so good on and off the runway. The famous blonde has always had an amazing sense of style, as evidenced by this fashion-forward look. The star showed off her toned frame in a figure-hugging black dress. She draped a leopard print cardigan over top of the plain dress and accessorized with a large bag, simple jewelry, and strappy sandals.
We wished we looked this good on a casual night out!
Gigi has been revered for her enviable slim physique, but the star has always reminded her fans to be happy regardless of what their body size or shape is. "Everyone has a different body shape, so you kind of have to figure out not only what works best for your body type, but what also makes you feel confident,” she once said, according to Brainy Quote. “Even if everyone thinks you look good in a bikini, and you don't feel good in it, you're not going to be at your best. If you feel great in a bikini, you can always work it.” Gigi's words on body positivity and loving yourself are so on point!
17 Blake Lively: The 21st Century Style Icon
Blake Lively is definitely one of the best-dressed stars in Hollywood! Whether she's stepping out for a red carpet event or a casual day with her family, the star never fails to dazzle us with her impeccable fashion choices. This funky look that the celeb rocked on her way to an interview proves this point! Blake highlighted her growing baby bump in the black, figure-hugging dress, while the red and blue sequins offered a fresh pop of color. Her strappy sandals and her full head of curls only added to the carefree vibes we're getting from this look.
Blake admits she loves to take risks when it comes to her clothing choices! “I tend to like to make my statements more in fashion than in beauty,” Blake has said, according to Harper's Bazaar. “Because what I normally respond to is when someone looks really effortless and deconstructed, beauty-wise, and [their] fashion is really grand. Someone like Kate Moss is a great example.”
Still, the celeb admits that getting on in age has refined and changed her style choices. "The older I get, I guess I wear less sparkles. And I know that someday my knees are going to look like elephant knees. But for now, my hemlines are still pretty high,” she told Elle Magazine. No matter what age, Blake is always going to look timeless!
16 Kylie Jenner: Taking Fashion By Storm(i)
The whole world is constantly keeping an eye on Kylie Jenner to see what she wears next. The young reality star may only be 21, but she's certainly one of the biggest trendsetters in the world. Kylie has gotten a wrap for wearing literally anything and everything she wants, yet she always finds a way to make it look stylish. In this fashion-forward look, the star paired a black crop top with intricate cut-outs with a pair of black culottes. She hid her face with a pair of big sunnies and draped a small purse over her shoulder.
Her tall, heeled boots were the perfect finishing touch to this daring outfit.
“I change my style maybe every month. I'm, like, punk one month, ghetto fab the next, classy the next,” the Life of Kylie star has said about her ever-changing sense of style, according to Hollywood Life. “I'm just young and finding out who I am.” Kylie has also recognized how influential her clothing choices are, and it seems like she's enjoying the attention. “I know how influential I am over my fans and followers,” the mom-of-one explained. “I feel like everything I do, my hair color, my makeup, I always start these huge trends, and I don't even realize what I'm capable of.”
15 Bella Thorne: Never Afraid To Take A Risk
Whether you love her or hate her, there's no denying that Bella Thorne sure loves to take a risk when it comes to her fashion choices. Since kissing her Disney days on Shake It Up goodbye, the star has been reinventing her image with more provocative, risqué clothing choices. This outfit showed off one of her more tame outfit options, although its still a lot more fashion-forward than most would be comfortable wearing!
While on her way to a red carpet event, the young actress showed off her petite frame in a black, red, and white dress with a stunning tulle skirt. Her lace-up red booties added the perfect edgy touch to the otherwise feminine dress, while her bright red hair contrasted with the colors in her outfit. “I don't want to be that girl who has that same style all the time where the music always sounds exactly the same, and you always know it's her,” Bella has said about her eclectic fashion choices.
As for the hate she gets in the media, Bella says she knows the pain of being made fun of for what you look like or what you wear - and she's not here for it! “I have suffered from bullying in many ways, from bullying in school due to my disability in reading, to digital [mistreatment] that I deal with on a daily basis,” she said. “I'd like to tell the kids that are being bullied that no one should have to deal with the [cruelty], ever!” You go girl!
14 Chrissy Teigen: A Legendary Fashion Sense
It's no surprise that Mrs. John Legend has an amazing sense of style given that she started out in Hollywood as a model. The striking celeb has posed for tons of high-profile magazines in the past, included the very coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover. Nowadays, Chrissy divides her time between her hubby and two adorable kiddos, writing fantastic cooking books, and keeping the world laughing thanks to her hilarious Tweets (and of course trolling Trump every now and then, too).
One thing we love about Chrissy is that she's never afraid to get candid with her fans, including about what it takes to maintain a model body (hint: a lot of working out and restricting your food).
“If I have a big shoot coming up, I do low-carb, no red meat, and earlier dinners,” Chrissy has explained about how she preps for her modeling gigs, according to The Cut. “And I just tell myself that sure, maybe I cannot eat all the things I'd love to today. But there are many more days in the week, and that perfect bite will come when I'm done with whatever shoot.”
Despite the lengths she goes to maintain her physique, Chrissy never denies her love for food… or that she doesn't mind putting on a few extra pounds if it means she can take it easy!
13 Demi Lovato: She's Cool For The Summer
Demi has had a tough journey on the road to body positivity, but thankfully she's looking better than ever nowadays! The singer showed off her edgy, fashion-forward sense of style in this plaid outfit as she walked the streets of NYC before a press event. The punk-ish style dress highlighted her curvaceous body, while the oversized denim jacket helped tone down the glamorousness of the look. Demi kept the outfit edgy with a sleek, high ponytail and contrasting gold heels.
"Instead of looking in the mirror and focusing on your flaws, look in the mirror and appreciate your best features [… ] everyone has them." Demi wrote about loving yourself in her book Stay Strong, according to Seventeen. In the autobiography, the star also opened up about her personal struggles with everything from mental illness to substance dependency and encouraged her fans that they, too, can get through it.
"I wish I could tell every young girl with [struggles with food], or who has [struggled] in any way, that she's worthy of life,” the celeb wrote in the inspirational memoir. “You can overcome and get through anything."
Not only are we obsessed with Demi's style, but we're totally all for her body positive attitude!
12 Bella Hadid: We See What The Weeknd Sees
Bella Hadid always looks like an off-duty model wherever she goes. The star loves pairing edgy pieces with classic silhouettes, like when she paired this crimson jumpsuit with a leather jacket and a duffle bag. The model is famous for keeping her makeup and hair au natural most of the time, yet always maintaining an air of mystery and sultry appeal. How does she do it?
"I wake up in the morning and if I want to wear a vintage tee and a leather, I will, but if I want to wear a pair of overalls or a skirt, I do,” Bella explained to Pop Sugar about how her mood influences her outfits.
“It just depends what the day is - I put on what makes me happy and what I feel like wearing."
The celeb admits that she's always been daring when it comes to fashion, which is likely partly due to her mom, supermodel Yolanda Foster, who introduced her girls to the fashion industry at young ages. "My whole life I've been pretty independent with my style, and my mum has been really giving when it comes to that,” the star explained. “When I was super young I would paint my nails black and wear eyeliner and she let me do what I wanted to, which really shaped my style."
11 Hailey Baldwin: Every Street Is Her Runway
Hailey totally looked like she was walking the runway when she stepped out in this denim-on-denim look. The model paired light wash jeans with a long, denim trench coat and a simple white crop top to achieve the fashion-forward look. Her bold heels and see-through sunglasses completed the daring look.
Hailey admits that it can be hard to pinpoint her style! “My style kind of differs - sometimes I want to be a little dressed down, a little tomboy, sometimes I want to be dressed up and very chic and look proper,” she once told People Magazine. “But I don't ever believe in overdoing it for day-to-day style. I would say my style is pretty simple, but still chic, hopefully. I just want to be relatable, but that's not a forced thing, it's just staying who I am.”
“Sometimes [my stylist] will yell at me because I will use nothing that she gave me and use my own stuff and put my own outfits together,” the celebrity continued, emphasizing how creative she is when it comes to styling outfits. “It's definitely always a joint thing. It's never just my idea or her idea unless I am home and just running out for groceries or something.”
10 Vanessa Hudgens: Always A Bohemian Babe
Vanessa Hudgens has become known as the Queen of Coachella for a reason! The star always lets her bohemian style shine at music festivals thanks to her hippie-inspired looks. But she also manages to translate her '70s style into wearable looks every day, like this dark ensemble she was caught wearing on a casual afternoon. Vanessa looked stylish in a pink and black floral maxi dress, crochet crop top, and oversized accessories, adding an edgy yet stylish twist to the boho-chic outfit.
Despite having a distinct girly flare to her style, the High School Musical star insists she's pretty down-to-earth… much more than people might think!
“I'm really an outdoorsy girl,” she once explained according to Brainy Quote, emphasizing her love for nature. “People think I can't go anywhere without getting all primped up, but I love to go camping, and I'm totally fine with not doing my hair or makeup, not taking a shower and just hiking.” Preach it, girl!
Clearly, Vanessa is one of those girls who loves having her full wardrobe always on hand, but can totally survive in the wild while still looking cute. It's not hard to see what Zac Efron and her current beau, Austin Butler, see in her!
9 Rihanna: Her Style Is What We Came For
Rihanna is a queen of many things, from music to makeup to fashion. The talented R&B artist has become known as one of this century's biggest style icons. She continually impresses the world with her daring, fashion-forward outfits, and somehow manages to make the wildest outfits stylish. During this sidewalk strut, RiRi showed off her assets in a figure-hugging denim skirt and matching top. She added a bold pair of denim boots with silver detailing as well as a small pair of green sunglasses. Only Rihanna could pull off a look this bold!
One of the many reasons to love Rihanna is because of her wise words regarding body positivity and self-love. “You shouldn't [be] pressured into trying to be thin by the fashion industry, because they only want models that are like human mannequins,” the celeb has said about trying to maintain a particular weight, according to Bustle. “But you have to remember that it's not practical or possible for an everyday woman to look like that. Being a size zero is a career in itself so we shouldn't try and be like them. It's not realistic and it's not healthy.” You know it's the truth if Queen RiRi says it.
8 Shay Mitchell: Pretty Little Fashionista
Shay Mitchell's character on Pretty Little Liars was known for her athletic-inspired yet an always-trendy sense of style, and clearly, it rubbed off on Shay herself after seven seasons. The actress is adored for her athleisure chic style that she sports off the red carpet, and her simple but steamy vibes on the red carpet. In this casual look specifically, Shay dressed up a pair of grey joggers with a leather jacket and a classy channel purse.
Her black heels and V-neck kept the look feminine and polished.
“Growing up, I wish I hadn't tried so hard to fit in,” Shay has said about learning to accept her insecurities, according to Brainy Quote. “I'd tell myself to just embrace what you were born with because it's beautiful and you were made like that for a reason. It's tough being a girl. I think we need all of the support we can get.” The PLL star has also said, “Take that one thing you don't like about yourself and more often than not that's the one thing that makes you more special. Whether it's that gap in your teeth, or that mole you never liked, or your skin color.” We'd say that sounds look good advice if we ever heard some!
7 Beyonce: No One Dresses Better Than The Queen
Beyonce, or Queen Bey as she is rightfully known, has some of the best styles around. Whether she's glammed up on the red carpet or gracing us with her presence on the sidewalk, she always looks like she's leading a fashion show. During this busy day in NYC, the mom-of-three opted for acid wash jeans and a t-shirt spiced the look up with a studded leather coat, fedora, and booties. Her funky, fur bag added a fun touch to the look. Beyonce has never been afraid to use her huge platform to spread her body positive message.
"We [need] to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead and reach as high as humanly possible,” the singer has said about why she is a feminist, as told by Marie Claire. "Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone telling you who you are,” Bey continued. "I don't have to prove anything to anyone, I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world.” Spoken from the words of a true Goddess! These are words to live by.
6 Khloe Kardashian: Staying True To Her Style
Khloe K may be a new mother to her baby True, but she sure isn't letting pregnancy and motherhood cramp her style. The youngest Kardashian's style choices have been better than ever since announcing her pregnancy to the world. Just take this smart look as an example! Khloe looked pulled together and polished in a stunning, camel coat that matched her warm turtleneck underneath. The mom-of-one kept the look dressed down by opting for a pair of skinny jeans and brown, coordinated booties. Her short blonde 'do and tortoiseshell sunnies pulled the look together.
As many fans know, Khloe went through a dramatic body transformation just a few years ago, and now she's not afraid to boast about her body positive success!
“I'm proud of myself. I could break and go get all this plastic surgery and get my nose fixed and get lipo or do whatever,” she explained, as told by Life & Style Mag. “But I haven't chosen to do that because I know I'm a great person. I'm pretty [darn cute], if you ask me.”
On the topic of insecurities, she's added, “I have moments of weakness, but mostly I brush the criticism off… Who cares if I'm not a size zero? I don't want to be. I love my body; I'm healthy, I work out.” True that!
5 Taylor Swift: She's Got A Reputation (For Her Style)
Taylor Swift has a reputation for her fashion almost as big as the one about her dating life. The singer has become synonymous with all things girly, preppy, and cute. T-Swift gravitates towards skater skirts, two-pieces, and anything in pastels. In this street style outfit, Taylor looked flawless as she waved to the paparazzi in a blue and purple striped two-piece paired with metallic heels and a nude purse. How sophisticated!
According to News Lines, Taylor Said: "I love old-looking jewelry, whether it's an old stopwatch or key that you can put on a chain for a really authentic-looking necklace.” The musician continued about her vintage-glam style: "I love sparkly headbands, so I go to the craft store and buy ribbon to make my own. You don't have to spend a lot of money. I go in there and just have so much fun in the ribbon section. It's a really fun activity and way to get an entire collection."
Although Taylor's outfit choices have become a bit bolder and steamier in recent years, the singer never betrays her feminine sense of style. Give the girl some pastels, tulle, or ribbons, and she'll make magic (almost like how she does with all of her hit singles)!
4 Zendaya: Shaking Up The Fashion Industry
When we first met Zendaya as a supporting character on Shake It Up, no one expected her to grow into the fashion icon she is today. But boy are we pleasantly surprised! Just as she has gracefully matured into different roles in Hollywood, Zendaya has adapted to a more refined sense of style. The actress is constantly impressing critics and fans alike with her fashion-forward outfits that never miss the mark. This look, in particular, shows off Zendaya's killer fashion sense.
The celeb paired a grey sweater dress with edgy knee-high boots and a long trench coat for the perfect street-style look.
According to Yahoo: “I've never had a body issue; I've never had a self-confidence issue, and there have been very few times in my life where I've felt down about the way I look or the way I feel,” the celeb has said about learning to love herself at a young age. “I love playing with makeup,” the singer-actress adds about her favorite way to change up her look. “Makeup has become a thing where it's an art form. It's not a thing where you use it because you need to feel beautiful or because you don't like the way you look.”
3 Emma Roberts: Nothing Unfabulous About This Look
Emma Roberts has been in show business for a long time. Heck, her Aunt is Julia Roberts and her dad is also an actor, so it definitely runs in her blood. So, its no surprise the young actress has a killer sense of style.
Emma has become known for her edgy yet chic outfits that continue to dazzle both on and off the red carpet. In this rocker-glam look, the actress paired a band t-shirt with a jean skirt and then threw a leather jacket over top. Her red velvet booties and oversized sunglasses add girly yet still eddy details to the look. Her bleach blonde hair with showing roots added to the casual vibes of the outfit, as did her heart-shaped necklace and black, fringe cross body.
Emma looked more like the lead singer of a punk band than a Scream Queen actress in this stylish look! “I love vintage shopping, I think it's really fun. And I love the feeling of finding the most amazing piece for less,” the former Unfabulous star has said about her eye-catching street style. As for her best style tip, the star has said in Seventeen, “Because I'm very petite, I try not to wear things that have a heavy pattern because I feel like they overtake you.”
2 Lady Gaga: She Doesn't Always Dress Gaga
Lady Gaga's bizarre fashion sense has become as iconic as her pop music. We're talking about the singer who has shown up to awards shows covered in literal meat or arrived in a glass egg. There's nothing that Gaga could do that could surprise us anymore, but we mean that in the best way possible. The singer is known for making her outfit choices into a work of art, as odd as her style may be.
However, it turns out that Gaga isn't always so out-there with her fashion sense, especially when she's off the red carpet.
In this street style look, the pop star sported a much more wearable outfit (sans the heels, perhaps). Gaga paired an oversized camo jacket with a blacked tank top, jeans, and bright blue shoes for an edgy yet glam, casual look - 7-inch heels are casual for her.
“I don't consider my own clothing to be outrageous. The truth is that people just don't have the same references that I do,” Gaga has said about her unique fashion sense, according to AZ Quotes. “To me, it's very beautiful and it's art, and to them, it's outrageous and crazy.” She has also said, “I think that fashion and music go hand-in-hand, and they always should. It's the artist's job to create imagery that matches the music. I think they're very intertwined.”
1 Miley Cyrus: Looking Chic In Malibu
Miley Cyrus is another celeb who's become infamous for her wacky sense of style. The starlet has proven time and time again that she's not afraid to wear literally anything when it comes to her performances or photo ops on the red carpet. Though she can sometimes be outrageous with her sense of style, we still cannot deny that Miley's street style is usually on point. In this look, the singer paired a trendy leather shirt and silver stripper heels with denim cut-offs to give a contrasting effect.
Her short hairstyle and red lips completed the bold look. We only wish we could take fashion risks like that.
"I can go through so many clothes and say, 'No, that's not me' right away. I'm so adamant and controlling and OCD about my work that I can scare some people - especially when it comes to clothes,” the singer told Fashion Magazine of her unique style. “I have a very specific style of my own, and I think it is better to be stylish than trendy." On the topic of not conforming to traditional norms of fashion and beauty, Miley once told Harper's Bazaar, "I feel like every girl is trying to have a beauty shot and prove that they're 'fashion.' But I can be in white leggings and a white sports bra, and I'm on a whole other level of [style] that those girls don't even get yet because they don't know how to do it."
