Stars Reveal Their Fashion Crushes And Style Influences

When you feel like your wardrobe needs a pick-me-up or a straight up overhaul, where do you look for inspiration? Often, we turn to our favorite celebs, who always look impossibly put together like it's second nature. Sometimes stars are naturally stylish or they have personal stylists to help. But many times they look to their fellow celebrities for inspiration too. It makes sense that Elizabeth Olsen would look up to her fashion designer sisters, but we bet you'll never guess who David Beckham turns to! Even Harry Styles has an unexpected style crush.

Harry Styles takes inspiration from none other than Shania Twain. The former One Direction member cited the country star as a huge influence on his musical abilities as well as his unique fashion sense.

"I think both music and fashion, [my] main influence was probably Shania Twain... Yeah, I think she's amazing," Styles told Entertainment Tonight in 2017, just before he headlined that year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Shanghai. While Harry likes to keep it country, Quantico's Priyanka Chopra has been inspired by Manhattan's Elite...

It's not surprising that Elizabeth Olsen's style would be inspired by none other than her older twin sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley. The mega-mogul twins left acting behind in their youth to take the high fashion world by storm.

"I grew up wearing my sister's clothes, so it's easy for me to say they're my style icons... They've taught me that classic pieces are an amazing investment," Elizabeth told InStyle. The younger Olsen didn't come onto the scene until her older sisters were pretty much gone from it, but it's clear that they've continued to have quite an influence.

"Nicole Kidman's style always tells a story... Even when she's taking risks, she still looks elegant. Plus, she's so statuesque. It's amazing how well everything fits her," says Haley Bennett.

The Music and Lyrics actress was probably referencing Kidman's look at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards. Kidman wowed the red carpet with a shiny silver number that was indeed a bold move, but she pulls it off with as much class as a British royal. Bennett's looks on and off the red carpet have been just as daring, but also feminine and chic, so you can clearly see the inspiration.

David Beckham may be retired from Manchester United, but as the husband of high fashion heavyweight Posh Spice, he knows a thing or two about personal style. The soccer star tells People that he is a "casual dresser" and that he takes his inspiration from a certain Hollywood icon.

“I’ve always been a huge fan of Steve McQueen, and people like that, and James Dean. People like that I always look at their style and it’s just effortless. Most of the time it’s just a plain white T-shirt and a pair of jeans, but they make it look good,” Beckham says. Katie Holmes is another person who thinks of Hollywood's Golden Age when it comes to style inspiration...

Lily Collins looks up to Cate Blanchett for her fashion musings. Blanchett has never been one to shy away from looks that veer on fierceness, but overall convey a sense of luxury that probably only a two-time Oscar winner can achieve.

"Cate's red-carpet picks never fail to surprise me because they are so edgy... She can rock anything from a pantsuit to a studded, feathered Givenchy gown. Her choices are ageless, and her hair and makeup are divine too," Collins says. The actress is known to rock flirty ensembles but often accentuates them with bold statement pieces that are a nod to Blanchett.

"Katharine Hepburn. She was always herself and it never looked like the clothes were wearing her," Katie Holmes told InStyle. Katharine Hepburn conveyed a level of elegance that was only achievable by the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Hepburn managed to make pants and blazers look sexy. Her affinity for simple shapes and colors only did wonders to accentuate her striking features, rather than stand out as something she was wearing. This is something that you can definitely see in Holmes's street style, as she is often wearing jeans but still looking cute while doing so.

But Saldana's relationship to fashion goes way back. She indulges that her grandmother kept books on Coco Chanel growing up and was a seamstress back in the '60s. "[She] worked for design houses throughout the city. She really loved fabrics and textiles, so it was natural to my family... It was never about luxury; it was about art."

This is something that you can see in Amy Smart's red carpet style, where she often wears ensembles that are refreshing from her street style.

Ross has never been one to shy away from interesting shapes and patterns in her ensembles.

Grimes has certainly incorporated this into her own street style, albeit there is a more relaxed, almost grungy vibe that she exudes. Sevigny's style is more "New York," while Grimes's is very much "LA."

"I think Sofia Coppola dresses amazing... She's such a talented filmmaker too, but her taste in clothes is really beautiful," Julia Garner tells InStyle. The muted elegance and delicate ambiance in Coppola's films bleed into her fashion sense.

The Lost in Translation director has a chic and understated street style that would make her the queen of any modern-day office. The same goes for her red carpet style, although she has been known to venture into bold pops of color. Garner has taken note from the director as well. The Ozark actress is always pictured in chic, simple outfits.
