On Point: Priyanka Chopra's Denim Jacket and Metallic Cap-Toe Sneakers

Priyanka Chopra wears a denim jacket and black skinny jeans with Miu Miu cap-toe skate sneakers.
If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that a statement-making shoe can truly transform an outfit from basic to seriously stylish. Priyanka Chopra takes that lesson to heart in this casual minimalist streetstyle look, amping up a basic white t-shirt, denim jacket and black skinny jeans look with her eye-catching Miu Miu metallic cap-toe skate sneakers ($595, also available here, here and here). I'm also loving how the actress added a casual beanie and scarf to the look, no doubt to stay warm but also to add personality to the look. My style is very much like an off-off-duty celeb LOL so I'll definitely be recreating this look - and you can, too, with the curated finds below - everything's under $45!

Chrissy Teigen casual style.
As fall's warm weather continues, Chrissy Teigen gives us more inspiration for transitional dressing, pairing a blush longline cardigan with a white tank, skinny jeans and slide sandals. The pop of goldenrod yellow from her bag combined with the soft neutral shades of her outfit are what really drew me to this look. It's so subtle yet so chic. And it never ceases to amaze me how so many celebrity outfits start with a white top and blue jeans, proving it's all about how you accessorize to make a look your own (on any budget!)

When the weather is unpredictable (it's supposed to be in the 80s today), you have to adapt. That's why we're loving Lucy Hale's all-black rocker chic look that blends elements you can wear in any season. The actress paired a plunging v-neck wrap top with a lace bralette, skinny jeans and black block heel booties for a cool, understated vibe. Her delicate layered jewelry, bucket bag and fedora add personality. Add a chunky cardigan sweater to this look when (and if) it cools down, or wear it as is for these summery fall days!
