Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence’s off-duty style has become as well-documented as her red-carpet looks. Working with her stylist, Jamie Mizrahi, the Oscar-winning actor is regularly spotted on the streets of New York in polished everyday staples by the likes of The Row, Khaite and Toteme, which all have an effortless, throw-on-and-go feel. Whether she’s wearing an oversized trench and tailoring or jeans and relaxed shirting, the result is always effortlessly chic. Her top styling trick? A sweater draped over the shoulders lends a preppy feel that elevates any outfit.

A blend of streetwear and ’90s basics make up the crux of Hailey Bieber’s off-duty outfits. With the help of her stylist, Dani Michelle, the LA-based model and beauty brand founder has finessed a signature look that’s always on point yet surprisingly easy to replicate. First, lay the foundations with a pair of wide-leg jeans, like Slvrlake’s ‘Eva’ style from our NET SUSTAIN edit, and a fitted tee, then add a leather or suede jacket into the mix – Nour Hammour’s ‘Clint’ biker is another NET SUSTAIN highlight and crafted using lower-impact materials. Lastly, finish with sleek ankle boots and a baseball cap.

Zoë Kravitz

Zoë Kravitz has a way of making everything look cool yet uncontrived. The actor and director’s unique sense of style is best described as urban-boho with a dose of ’90s minimalism thrown in. Some of her favorite outfit formulas include sharp tailoring with ballet flats or a kitten heel, feminine dresses with preppy loafers, and an oversized shirt with baggy jeans. As for accessories, she’s never without a pair of sleek micro sunglasses or a slouchy tote.

Take one look at these images of Laura Harrier and you’d be forgiven for thinking they were taken in the ’90s. The American actor loves to reference the decade on the red carpet, but it’s her off-duty style that has us rethinking our own wardrobes. Whether it’s classic blue jeans with a fine-knit cardigan and slides, or oversized tailoring and a bag with minimal branding, Harrier favors pared-back staples that are easy to mix and match. Follow her lead with Khaite’s classic crewneck ‘Jackie’ cardigan, straight-leg jeans (we reckon Harrier would love Citizens of Humanity’s ‘Zurie’ jeans from our NET SUSTAIN edit), and a pair of paparazzi-shielding sunglasses, such as Saint Laurent Eyewear’s oval frames.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Former PORTER cover star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s style is a masterclass in luxe daytime dressing. Polished yet relaxed, her go-to look is tailored pants with a trench coat or leather jacket by brands such as Saint Laurent and Bottega Veneta, plus heels and face-framing shades, all in her preferred monochrome palette. The British supermodel and entrepreneur regularly shares outfit-of-the-day posts on Instagram, so be sure to save your favorites for whenever you are in need of inspiration.
