    Can you feel that touch of warmth in the air? Yes, that’s right—spring has officially sprung. While I’m looking forward to visiting the cherry blossoms in Central Park and sipping on my favorite seasonal drink (a strawberry matcha from Blank Street, to be exact), I’m most excited about curating my collection of spring outfits.

    Having already stocked my closet with balmy-weather basics—including tank tops, Bermuda shorts, and cropped jackets—I’m now in need of some fresh outfit formulas to put in heavy rotation. So naturally, I’ve turned to the celebrity crowd, where stylish A-listers are offering up plenty of inspiration.

    Several weeks ago, Zendaya was spotted in a tailored trench coat, which she masterfully styled with a gauzy linen skirt and a pair of sophisticated loafers for a pared-down look. Not too long after that, Dakota Johnson took a similar minimalist approach, teaming a sleek slip dress with a cardigan and a pair of dainty ballet flats. Gigi Hadid, on the other hand, endorsed one of spring 2026’s most viral color trends, wearing a delectable tomato red sweater.

    Ahead, you’ll find a selection of my favorite celebrity spring outfits that are beyond easy to copy. While these stars often wear luxury labels like The Row, Saint Laurent, and Burberry, you don’t have to break the bank to recreate their looks. Keep scrolling to discover a range of affordable styles from brands like Reformation, Madewell, and more.

    Kendall Jenner

    Leave it to Kendall Jenner to create a low-effort look with a high-reward appeal.

    Although it’s 70 degrees as I write this story, I don’t want to get my hopes up just yet. Springtime temperatures often fluctuate, so I plan to prepare for the worst with this cozy look from Kendall Jenner. The model is seen here wearing a $2,295 trench coat from Burberry, but I’ve found this budget-friendly alternative from Sézane instead. Coordinated with white pants and high-vamp flats, this look is guaranteed to turn me into an outfit repeater.

    Dressed in simple separates, it appears as though Dakota Johnson is channeling her inner Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.

    If you haven’t heard, ‘90s minimalism is back for another spin around fashion’s trend cycle. Dakota Johnson recently embraced the retro aesthetic with a sumptuous slip dress coated in cool blue, a pair of easygoing ballet slippers, and a soft cardigan. Whether you’re heading to the office or going out to lunch, this polished uniform will rise to any occasion.

    Zendaya

    Although Zendaya wore this outfit while traveling, it can work well beyond the airport.

    When Zendaya isn’t serving on the red carpet, she’s often dressed in streamlined off-duty outfits. Take, for example, this head-to-toe look from The Row. Composed of a roomy trench, an airy linen skirt, and a pair of glossy loafers, this combination is inherently simple. Consider it if you prefer to keep things effortless.

    Don’t toss your barn jacket yet! You’ll need it this season.

    Yes, a barn jacket is a fall essential, but it can also work for spring. Bella Hadid proves just that, wearing the rugged outerwear style with white bottoms and a matching tee for a warm-weather feel. Follow her lead and throw some classic accessories into the mix—like a hardware-adorned belt, shimmering gold earrings, and wide-frame shades.

    Perhaps you’re going out for drinks with your beau or hitting up a local hotspot with your gals. Whatever the nighttime plan might be, you can always count on a trusty all-black outfit—and Hailey Bieber thinks so, too. Last month, the Rhode founder attended a dinner party wearing a satin top, a micro-mini skirt, and a set of flip-flop sandals (which just so happen to be one of spring’s most coveted shoe trends).
