Olivia Culpo's Leopard Dress and Belt Bag Look for Less

Olivia Culpo Leopard Dress Look for Less
Just when we thought we couldn't be more obsessed with this season's leopard trend... Olivia Culpo one-ups them all with this plunging neck shirtdress. To die for, right?! This perfect match for less and some pointed-toe ankle boots like hers will turn heads at any and all occasions this winter - just don't forget a jacket! If you're worried about showing too much leg, some over-the-knee boots would be an instant stunner with this dress, too. Her belt bag is small but has dual use in holding the essentials while also giving some shape to the dress with a cinch at the waist. This double chain belt bag from Express is a spot-on spin-off! Since we want the dress to be the main attraction here, we love the simple touches of white nail polish, a demure lipstick, and simple silver rings.



Jessica Biel's Cape, Fair Isle Sweater, and Ankle Booties Look for Less

Jessica Biel Cape Look for Less
Trendy pieces can always be hit or miss, and we're thinking this cape on Jessica Biel is one to consider! She wears it over a classic ivory and black fair isle sweater (a sure sign that Christmas is on the way!) and black washed skinny jeans and suede ankle boots. Jessica's sunglasses are from Privé Revaux, a super affordable line of trendy and timeless shades. Unfortunately, we can't say the same about her Jimmy Choo bag, which runs for $1,280. Love it, but we'll leave it and take a reasonable box bag from French Connection (bonus: it's on sale, down from $118). This is the perfect outfit for a gift shopping day with some girlfriends, Thanksgiving dinner at your aunt's house, winter date night...the possibilities are endless and sweater season is just getting started.



Heidi Klum's Leopard Blouse and Striped Pants Look for Less

Heidi Klum Leopard Look for Less
Mixing prints may never go out of style - at least not as long as Heidi Klum is doing it! With such deep roots in the fashion industry, the gal definitely has the confidence and the means to pull off pretty much anything. Here she sports a pair of striped wide leg pants to starkly contrast against an elegant leopard print top, with platform pumps to match! We love a beautiful white tote for a simple accessory, along with some square gold frame aviators. Paint your nails black like she did for an extra edgy touch! What do you think - would you wear leopard and stripes together?



The Look for Less: Julia Roberts in a Givenchy Graphic Sweatshirt and Coated Skinny Jeans

Julia Roberts Graphic Givenchy Sweatshirt Look for Less
Julia Roberts is one of those actresses that has earned her way as one of our forever favorite actresses (I mean, you can't not love her in Runaway Bride and My Best Friend's Wedding!) She just celebrated her 51st birthday at the end of October, and is clearly still killing the style game. Just goes to show that dressing well isn't just for models and reality TV stars under 30! Her Givenchy sweatshirt is a one-of-a-kind item in high demand that sells crazy fast; probably because it goes well with more than just athleisure. We'd love to copy her look and pair it with tailored pieces like a blazer, coated skinny jeans, and high heel sandals. And that subtle wavy hair! The gal can do no wrong here.
