Celebrities have teams of stylists who work on their work wardrobes, whether that’s weeks of negotiations to secure a red-carpet gown or borrowing looks straight from the runway for interviews and public appearances. Of course, personal stylists still often play a role in off-duty wardrobes too, however it’s not all luxury samples and fine jewellery.
There are several affordable brands which you will see celebrities wearing almost every single day, and certain stars are known for always having a curated high-low mix. Sienna Miller and Katie Holmes are two that come straight to mind, as they are often spotted wearing casual staples by the likes of Mango and Sézane. Royals always have carefully considered styling choices, and so a lot of thought goes into having a delicate balance of price points. That’s why you’ll often see the Princess of Wales championing brands like Missoma and M&S.
Below, see five affordable brands that are loved by the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Kendall Jenner and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Reformation
LA-based brand Reformation has a long list of loyal celebrity fans who rely on the brand for its strong denim edit and easy-to-wear summer dresses. Jennifer Lopez opted for a bright pink dress by the brand for her honeymoon in Paris, and the Duchess of Sussex once wore a striped midi-dress on a royal tour.

Sézane
Parisian brand Sézane has garnered a cult following, with queues often snaking outside of its shops (which are called the apartments) in Paris and London. It is loved for creating elegant wardrobe staples, such as wrap coats, denim jackets and knitwear, which you’ll see the likes of Selena Gomez and Sienna Miller wearing.

Mango
Almost every day the Vogue fashion desk spots another celebrity wearing Mango, whether it’s Katie Holmes, Sienna Miller or Gigi Hadid. The wine-hued leather pieces are proving particularly popular this year, with Holmes seen wearing them on more than one occasion.

Birkenstock
Birkenstocks were an obvious addition to this list, as with collaborations with Proenza Schouler and Manolo Blahnik, the humble Birkenstock has been elevated to be considered the summer shoe of choice. The two-strap leather Arizona sandal is always going to be a best-seller, however the Boston clogs have been quickly rising in popularity.
