A lot of
celebrities may spend big bucks on designer fashion and aren’t usually seen
without the latest Chanel or Balmain outfit fresh from the catwalk – but not
all stars are label snobs and these 5 celebrities say they prefer to mix
budget-friendly high street finds with designer pieces. Some say they only wear
high fashion when they’re on the red carpet and have cheaper clothing when they’re
not working. Others love to mix up their wardrobes, piecing together high
street with high fashion.
1. Emma Watson
Emma likes
to wear designers for big events but is happy in high street when off-duty:
"For a premiere, I'll wear some forward-thinking, trend-setting designers
like Balenciaga or the latest from Chanel. I'm also really into William
Tempest. If I'm going casual, I'll mix vintage with clothes from Topshop, Zara
or Gap and I also love Agnes B. I'll mix and match, which makes it financially
accessible to everyone."
2. Jessica Alba
Jessica
loves some high street pieces and has her favourite designers too: ''I like to
mix high and low, like American Apparel with Ralph [Lauren]. There's a pair of
Rag & Bone with a little stretch that's been my go-to for that tight, high
waisted jam, but I still like a J Brand bell bottom - and I think Ralph makes
the best denim jackets.''
3. Mollie King
Mollie says
she isn't a label snob and is happy wearing cheaper designs too: ''I'm not the
kind of girl who'll only wear designer - I like to mix it up with high-street
finds. I know my style and I can put an outfit together so I'd love to bring
that out in a collection.''
4. Selena Gomez
Selena is
happy to buy from the sales rack: ''It is just kind of a mix. I have really
great [designer] gifts from people, and my stylist will give me something cute.
But other than that, it usually seems to be off the sales rack or just stuff
that I enjoy.''
5. Pixie Lott
Pixie likes
vintage finds and mixing high street pieces: "I find some really cool,
unique stuff in vintage shops. The good thing about vintage if that it doesn't
quite fit you can customise it, like, make it shorter. The shorter the better!
And I've been wearing a lot of socks and stockings. It's a bit school-girlie,
which I like. I love chains and headbands, so I put lots of accessories with
every outfit. And I like to mix designer pieces, high street and vintage."
