Celebrities have always looked to fashion stylists as authorities in the fashion world, and this remains true even today. Below are eight fashion trends that started with major celebrities in the entertainment world.
Biker shorts: Biker shorts were originally part of cycling wear, but thanks to Kim Kardashian they became a popular fashion statement. Her simple tennis shorts, paired with an oversized jacket and high heels, made her look attractive and youthful, which made her a pioneer in the wearing of biker shorts.
Oversized sunglasses: Fashion icon Jackie Kennedy Onassis is said to have popularized oversized eyewear in the 1960s, and her style has been copied by fashion-forward women ever since, making oversized sunglasses timeless.
Crop tops: Crop tops were also made famous by Britney Spears in her most famous video of the 90s, “…Baby One More Time…”. This trend has recently gained a lot of attention among celebrities as well as the general public, with more and more of them wearing belly-baring tops.
Ripped jeans: Ripped jeans originated from punk rock, but it was Madonna in the 1980s who first introduced the fashion of ripped jeans. She made casual wear, especially ripped jeans, look like a fashion statement.
Juicy Couture Tracksuits: Juicy Couture, with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, definitely made the velour tracksuit popular in the early 2000s, and these comfortable, trendy pieces were often paired with celebrities’ non-couture style.
Bold lip colour: Fenty Beauty’s Rihanna may have been the first A-list star to enter the beauty market with a shocking lip product, which inspired many to adopt a darker lip colour and made bold lips a huge trend.
Grunge Fashion: In the early 1990s, Kurt Cobain of the band Nirvana popularized grunge fashion. His flannel shirts, ripped jeans, and layered clothing defined a generation and helped define fashion today.
Statement sneakers: Arguably the greatest footwear designer of the decade, Kanye West transformed sneakers into a fashion statement with his Yeezy collection in collaboration with Adidas. He gave lace-up sneakers an edgy statement that easily fits into both streetwear and luxury categories.
