How to Recreate a Celebrity or Character’s Outfits in Real Life (5 Must-Know Tips)

Tip #1: Choosing the right inspiration for the right times is key.

If you want to recreate a celebrity’s or character’s outfit, always think about your own life and prior engagements you might have and proceed from there.

While I love to take on wacky inspiration sources now that I work from home, when I went to an office, I had to think what was appropriate for the type of work I had to do on any given day. I also took into account whether I had classes, inclement weather to deal with, or social engagements with a dress code (weddings, graduations, openings, etc.).

Celebrities do have bigger budgets than most people, but they are still people. You can find a look for almost any type of activity, if you go through enough celebrity outfits.

Characters, on the other hand, are a bit trickier. Since their outfits take into account the story first and everything else second, translating these looks into real life might fail the wearability test for a lot of the day-to-day activities.

For example, dressing *exactly* like the Winx characters seemed like a great idea at first. That was, until I realized it was still winter and the weather was not Winx attire-friendly — so I had to adjust and tone down my outfits. A post I did during the same time was Hailey Bieber’s style and it was perfect for the weather, although it wasn’t as experimental and fun as the Winx one.

If you are copying a celebrity’s style, chances are, it will be easier to translate into real life than a character’s wardrobe would be. Obviously, this also depends on the celebrity in question.
