Bodysuit Beauty: Victoria Justice's Choker Top and Maxi Skirt Look for Less

Steal Victoria Justice's fashion style with a choker top and split maxi skirt.
Victoria Justice wore a sexy minimalist look for a recent appearance on Extra. The Rocky Horror Picture Show star paired a choker-style bodysuit top with a split front maxi skirt, black pointy toe pumps and retro sunglasses. I like that she kept her color palette and makeup simple and let the edgy, modern silhouettes of her separates do all the talking. You can find choker tops and maxi skirts with sky-high slits at many budget-friendly stores these days, from Express to Forever 21...we found lookalikes you can shop online starting at just $10.90! Read on to snag Victoria's complete look for less...

Copy Lucy Hale's casual streetstyle look.
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!
