My Top 5 Favourite Celebrity Street Styles of 2015 (so far)

For me, one of the most fascinating parts of modern culture is street style. I’ve always found it fascinating that the clothes people wear can almost depict them as characters – whether you’re the girl that wears a-line skirts and bows in your hair or the boy that decides to don skinny jeans and a duster jacket, you can identify yourself as classy, grungy, rebellious or frankly like you don’t give a shit at all. And these are my top 5 favourite female celebrity street styles of this year.

5. Zendaya Coleman

18 year-old Zendaya is one of the most up-and-coming people at the moment, and her swift bite back over the criticism of her having her hair in dreads and being photographed with celebrity friends Rihanna and Taylor Swift definitely prove this. She’s impeccably dressed for every red carpet events, but even when she’s simply heading out to pick up her lunch in sweats and no make-up, she still looks effortlessly flawless, and has even made double denim look fashionable.

4. Taylor Hill

Perhaps not one of the most well-known people of the minute, but definitely one of the best dressed. Victoria’s Secret Angel Taylor Hill has already walked for Ellie Saab, Alexander Wang, Versace and DKNY at the mere age of 19, and I expect we’ll be seeing much more of her in the remainder of the year. Whether she’s dressed smart or casual, she’s frequently donning an oversized jumper or coat and I can’t wait to see how her style (and fame) develops over the years.

3. Vanessa Hudgens

After her rise to fame in High School Musical (everyone’s favourite childhood movie), her singing career and her appearance in 2014’s worst movie Spring Breakers, Vanessa Hudgens has proved that whilst she may not have been in some of the world’s best movies, she’s been dressed in the world’s best clothes. Often seen out with her beautiful boyfriend Austin Butler, she incorporates clothes of different cultures and time periods into each well-crafted outfit we see her in. Whether she’s decided to bring back one of her gorgeous paisley-print looks from Coachella 2014, or she’s paired a duster coat with knee-high boots, throughout 2015 Hudgens has had such a versatile style that she could probably go out in a bin bag and it’d be featured in Forever 21 the next day. Plus she manages to look good in flared jeans.

2. Halsey

With her new album ‘BADLANDS’ out this week, Halsey’s (otherwise known as Ashley Frangipane) incredible voice is supported by her incredible (and affordable) fashion sense. Frequently seen in American Apparel, her style is unique but it works perfectly for her and her ever-changing hair colours. She’s been criticised for the amount of skin that she shows, but the self-proclaimed feminist is a walking example of the belief that a girl should be able to wear whatever she wants without receiving criticism – something that I am definitely an advocate of.

1. Taylor Swift

In the top spot is none other than Miss Swift herself. Other than being one of the most inspirational and popular people of the decade, with 7 grammies at the age of 25 and her new album being (in my opinion) one of the best that 2014 saw, Taylor Swift’s street style is impeccable. Swift is never photographed without an amazing outfit – she combines classic with modern, often seen wearing knee-high socks or a leather satchel paired with current trends (such as skorts or platform shoes) – and it looks flawless. Another talent of hers is dressing perfectly for occasion – whether she’s gone to buy cat food or to an awards ceremony, she has mastered the smart-casual concept without spending ridiculous amounts; she’s frequently seen in Missguided and H&M.

In the end, I think street style is really dependant on confidence – stop picking up shirts and thinking ‘I’m too fat/thin/ugly/potato-looking/insert other to wear this’ – start thinking “I love this shirt and I’m going to wear it because I love it and I look fucking amazing in it.” And all of these five girls exhibit that attitude, which is why they all wear their clothes so well.

See you next Sunday!
