Elle Fanning's Crop Top and High-Waist Jeans Look for Less

Elle Fanning look for less
Elle Fanning was the picture of summer chic in a crop top and sandals as she took a stroll during the 70th Cannes Film Festival.

I love the simple color palette of crisp white and denim blue. Not a fan of the crop top? Swap in a tie-front white shirt (like this one) instead.

I also love the comfy double strap sandals that Elle is wearing. Upon closer inspection, you'll see the actress has fun with her accessories, from the crystal embellishments on the sandals to her Gucci glitter sunglasses ($375, nordstrom.com). You could even get in on the trend with this DIY glitter sunglasses tutorial!

Emily Ratajkowski's Double Denim and Floral Top Look for Less

Emily Ratajkowski wears a Levi's denim jacket while jet-setting from Nice, France.
Emily Ratajkowski wore denim on denim as she made her way through Nice airport during the 70th annual Cannes Film Festival.

This is no Canadian tuxedo fashion faux-pas: The star expertly mixed her two-tone Levi's denim jacket in Remixed Indigo ($188, levi.com) with her Attico floral chiffon top ($800, netaporter.com), skinny jeans and cognac open-toe ankle strap heel sandals for a laid-back look that's feminine and a touch bohemian.

I love the simplicity of this outfit for spring and summer. Of course now I'm convinced that I, too, need a two-tone denim jacket and I found the perfect one by Mango that's under $100.

Read on to score all of Emily's must-have looks for less...

Molly Sims is Summer Chic in A Black Maxi Dress and Bow Slide Sandals

Molly Sims fashion style is classic and chic.
Molly Sims made her way through LAX in a classic and chic outfit featuring a black maxi dress, nautical blazer and bow slide sandals.

She finished her look with oversized aviators, tousled blonde locks and the sweetest smile! I love Molly Sims' style...she has a way of mixing preppy and boho elements in a way that always looks fresh and put-together.

The peek-a-boo trend is big this season for dresses, and I love the sheer chiffon look that's happening here on Molly's skirt - it shows a little something while still being covered-up enough for daytime events.

And let's talk about those shoes for a second! I found this amazing lookalike pair at Target that's too good to resist. Find these and all my look for less finds below, each item under $100!

Style Your Track Pants Like Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Rosie Huntington Whiteley wears track pants with heels and a blazer.
With a crisp blazer and strappy heels, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shows us the fashion-forward way to wear track pants in this sleek outfit she sported a few months back at LAX.

By keeping the palette neutral and the accessories simple, she's convinced me that you could wear wide leg track pants to the office or a cocktail party, making these a versatile wardrobe addition. I could even picture the supermodel wearing this elevated athleisure outfit with her current baby bump!

I was so excited to find this near identical pair of pants at Express (on sale!) - and even more excited to see how blogger Sydne Summer wore her pair with a white blouse and blazer! If you love the look, read on to get all the pieces, each under $100...
