Snowstorm Chic: Julianne Hough's Parka and Snow Boots Look for Less

Julianne Hough looks winter chic in a parka and snow boots.
While all eyes were on the Golden Globes red carpet last night, I'm interested in emulating Julianne Hough's latest airport look: Her fur-trim parka and snow boots look is perfect for the winter storm weather we just had here in Connecticut!

Don't get me wrong, I love red carpet fashion (Mandy Moore, Olivia Culpo, Priyanka Chopra, Lily Collins and Kerry Washington were among my favorites) - but I could really use a new pair of snow boots right now. This pair at Target has that rugged-cool look that Julianne is sporting, for under $20!

Keep reading for all the pieces needed to get the look, including posh parka picks under $65 in regular and plus sizes...

Epic Proportions: Sienna Miller's Skirt Pants and Sneakers Look for Less

See how to recreate Sienna Miller's eclectic airport style with pieces starting at just $15.
Sienna Miller paired wide-leg skirt pants with Adidas Stan Smith sneakers as she made her way through Los Angeles International Airport this week.

Although the skinny jean has reigned supreme among celebs for the past decade now, it's always refreshing to see a bold wide-leg pant, and Sienna knows exactly how to style them.

Sporty Stan Smiths give the look a cool, downtown vibe, while her wide-sleeve t-shirt complements the exaggerated proportions of her cropped trousers.

And maybe she's itching for spring, too, choosing to carry a bright yellow tote bag with her otherwise black and white outfit choices.

If you're up for new silhouettes in 2017, check out our look for less finds, starting with lookalike pants under $40 at Uniqlo!

Punk Chic: Jourdan Dunn's Plaid Skirt and Off-the-Shoulder Bodysuit Look for Less

Get Jourdan Dunn's off-the-shoulder bodysuit and plaid skirt look for less.
Model Jourdan Dunn stopped to strike a pose for photographers in a tartan skirt, white off-the-shoulder bodysuit, and lace-up ankle booties while attending Milan Fashion Week back in September.

I absolutely love the attitude of this look that's giving me punk vibes with the lace-up detailing on her Cushnie et Ochs off-the-shoulder bodysuit ($695, net-a-porter.com) and the asymmetric cut of her Jacquemus plaid tartan skirt ($407, farfetch.com).

While Jourdan's top and skirt alone catapult the pricetag of this ensemble over $1,000, we put together her entire look for less under $85 - including a near-identical dupe for her bodysuit from Forever 21 that's under $20!

Back to Black: Chrissy Teigen's Monochromatic Look for Less

Chrissy Teigen Look for Less
Black is—and will always be— my favorite color to dress in. It manages to say so much, while saying so little. It's always in season, always on-trend and always a go-to for women in fashion.

Chrissy Teigen must agree since she stepped out in this monochromatic ensemble featuring a coordinating off-the-shoulder sweater, ripped jeans, pointed booties, fringed handbag and aviator sunglasses. Combined they create a knockout look, but on their own each piece can be incorporated into countless ensembles.

This past year seemed to be the year of the decolletages with tops, dresses and jackets grazing just below the shoulders. Though the weather may be chillier, Chrissy's sweater is a great option for extending the trend into winter — and 2017! Read on to shop my favorite picks for the look below, featuring pieces priced under $55!
