Celebrity Street Style of the Week: Whitney Port, Malin Akerman, & Minka Kelly
Written by Demi – University of Maryland 12 Comments
Every week, i scour the web to find inspiring outfits on your favorite celebs and help you recreate their looks! this week, i was inspired by whitney port, malin akerman, and minka kelly. read on to see how you can get their looks for yourself.
Look 1: Whitney Port’s Lace Ruffle Dress Transformation

I try to feature different celebs each week in order to give you guys a wide range of inspiration, but i just had to feature whitney port again – she has been killing it fashion-wise lately. this week, she wore the same ruffled lace dress twice — but in two completely different ways. i was so inspired by her transformation, i knew i needed to share it with you guys!
For her first look, whitney rocked her lace dress with some gray tights, brown boots, and a navy blazer, along with a clutch and hair up in a messy yet chic bun. for the second look, whitney swapped in some black tights, black ankle booties, a leather biker jacket, a stone-encrusted necklace, and a clutch. it’s so cool to see how a single dress can go from equestrian-chic to rocker fabulous with a simple change of accessories; the ruffles balance out the sharp lines of both jackets, and the cream color is neutral and goes with either color palette.

To recreate whitney’s ensembles, a cream-colored tier dress with ruffles and/or lace is the ideal place to start. above, i featured a beautiful creation from free people, and while the price tag may be a bit steep, it is a perfectly intricate and special dress that can be worn so many different ways – to me, it’s worth the investment!
For the first look, a navy blazer worn over the dress gives it structure, while gray tights add warmth and dimension, making this frock suitable for the colder months! brown riding boots complement the equestrian feel of the blazer — couldn’t you imagine this look on the ralph lauren runway?
The second look is all about attitude, with its tough-meets-pretty aesthetic. the delicate nature of the dress, highlighted by the gemstone necklace, contrasts nicely with the leather motorcycle jacket, black studded booties, and black tights. as you can see, there are a million ways to wear this dress – all you need is a quick change of accessories for a brand new look.
Look 2: Malin Akerman’s Leather & Leopard

Malin akerman was spotted on a movie set this week looking tough yet chic in black skinny jeans, motorcycle boots, a black leather motorcycle jacket, a white t-shirt, a grayscale leopard print scarf, black ray ban wayfarers, and a slouchy handbag. when i saw this look, i instantly thought of how perfect it would be for a full day of classes – it’s casual and comfortable, but touches like the scarf and sunglasses keep the look fashion-forward.

Jeans, T-shirt, Jacket, Scarf, Sunglasses, Boots, Bag
Malin’s look begins with black skinny denim, so to recreate her look for a day of classes, i found a pair of denim leggings. (there is nothing better than comfy denim, which explains why jeggings have become my go-to item most mornings! ) next, just add a simple white t-shirt on top, and a leather motorcycle jacket over that — easy peasy! a gray-toned leopard print scarf adds a trendy accent, as do classic ray ban wayfarers and a handbag with cool zipper detailing. black motorcycle boots complete the look.
Look 3: Minka Kelly’s Neutrals and Chunky Knits

Minka kelly, of friday night lights fame, was out and about in beverly hills this week making a chunky knit sweater look trendy with olive green skinny pants, a white t-shirt, aviator sunglasses, and suede lace-up booties with rubber soles.
When i see sweaters like this one hanging on a store’s rack, two thoughts cross my mind: first, i think, “yum, that knit looks deliciously cozy and i just want to live in it! ” and second, i think, “there is no way that would look good on me. ” however, minka proves it is possible to rock one of those delicious knits on the street, without looking frumpy at all!
Outfit Inspired by Minka
Pants, T-shirt, Sweater, Shoes, Bag, Sunglasses, Necklace
These forever 21 twill cargo leggings rival the comfy-factor of this perfectly oversized chunky knit sweater. underneath the sweater, add a plain white t-shirt, and to accessorize with a pendant necklace like this four leaf clover one. aviator sunglasses and a brown shoulder bag with buckle detailing also add some flair, although my personal favorite piece in the look is the pair of lace-up booties – rubber heeled shoes are perfect for winter, plus they are very “in” this season!

These looks are awesome. you are definitely forgiven for featuring whitney port two weeks in a row-girl can’t help it if she’s rocking it lately. i actually really loved seeing the two looks of whitney’s side by side. i was totally inspired. malin’s and minka’s looks were great too. all of the looks you featured were both chic and do-able for a college student. your version of their looks are spot-on. great post!
