Jourdan Dunn is Statuesque in Striped Pants

Jourdan Dunn wears vertical stripe pants with an oversized denim jacket and sneakers.
British supermodel Jourdan Dunn made a stylish entrance in vertical stripe pants, a black bodysuit, and oversized denim jacket as she arrived at Nice Airport France on her way to the 70th Cannes Film Festival.

I love how the model plays with proportions in this look, from the wide leg pants to the sleek bodysuit top, to the boxy jacket with exaggerated sleeves.

I also love her choice of a graphic black and white color palette - so good for summer! She finishes the look with sporty yet sleek black patent sneakers, and retro top-frame sunglasses which we're seeing everywhere lately.

Really, is there anything not to love about Jourdan's look?! Steal her vibes with the affordable fashion finds below...

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!
