All Wrapped Up: Julianne Hough's Cozy Knitwear and Ripped Skinny Jean Look for Less

Julianne Hough White Wrap Look for Less
Oversized knits are having a major fashion moment right now. Whether you favor a cape, blanket scarves, ponchos, ruanas or wraps, these pieces offer comfort and style that are perfect as we make our way into winter.

Julianne Hough paired her fringed wrap with edgy ripped skinny jeans, tortoise sunglasses, a leather tote bag and neutral-hued flats. I love how soft the outfit is in terms of color and texture, plus wearing this layering must-have while traveling is pure genius - I always freeze on long flights!

These accessories do have the tendency to hide your shape, but they can look flattering on anyone when you add a bit of balance back to the look. By wearing skinny jeans, Julianne defined her silhouette and made sure the cape didn't overwhelm her body. Plus the ripped knees add just a touch of edge.

Shop Julianne's look below, including a near replica of her creamy white wrap from Renee C that's just $46!

Prints Charming: Heidi Klum's Boho Sweater Coat and Over-the-Knee Boots Look for Less

Heidi Klum wears a print sweatercoat and over-the-knee boots.
Heidi Klum touched down at LAX wearing an eclectic ensemble featuring a print sweatercoat in earth tones paired with a black-and-white striped tee, high-waist skinny jeans and black over-the-knee boots.

She accessorized her artsy bohemian look with a print scarf and print tote, plus classic aviator shades and a long pendant necklace.

When I think of Heidi Klum, I think "bombshell," so I'm really loving this quirky departure for the supermodel that offers styling ideas we can all imitate - think fearless print mixing, super chunky knits and curve-loving jeans.

If you're feeling Heidi's bohemian vibes, read on to get the look for less...

Effortless Edge: Dakota Johnson's Cozy Turtleneck and Cognac Moto Look for Less

Dakota Johnson Look for Less
There's nothing I love more than an updated take on a timeless look. Dakota Johnson added a little edge to a cozy winter classic when she paired a blue turtleneck sweater with black jeans, a leather motorcycle jacket and ankle booties in a rich cognac hue. For accessories she kept it minimal with a leather hobo and '60s-inspired sunglasses. With the chillier weather just starting to settle in, it's the perfect time to pick up some must-have knit pieces and I'm obsessed with this lookalike from 525 America. Read on to shop the rest of my picks and steal Dakota's style...

Paris in the Fall: Jessica Alba's Stripe Top and Rust Cardigan Look for Less

Jessica Alba wears a stripe top, zipper front skinny jeans and a rust colored cardigan while out and about in Paris.
Jessica Alba was seen out and about during Paris fashion week recently wearing a casual and chic outfit we want to copy right now. She's a celeb we can always count on for inspiration that's stylish yet accessible (browse all Jessica Alba outfits for proof). Here, she paired a striped top (which we all own) with skinny black jeans (the zippers are a cool edgy touch, but not required), and a fall-perfect oversized cardigan in a warm pumpkin-spice rust hue. Once you have your basics down, accessories like a quilted purse, ankle wedge booties, hoop earrings, and oversized shades really amp up the glam factor - and don't have to cost a fortune. Read on for our look for less finds below...
