Item links below.

 

Here Bella Thorne displays a great casual way to style leather pants for a daytime look. Simplicity is the key to this outfit, with polished hair and clean, pretty makeup keeping the look stylish and chic, whilst still being relaxed.

I don't think anyone would accuse Bella Thorne of being a "duff", so I'm guessing the shirt is a cute tongue-in-cheek nod at her movie The Duff.  The simple tank keeps the look daytime appropriate by not dressing the pants up too much with complicated prints or embellishments.

As for the pants, I chose

The Frightful Fashions Roundup - 11th Jan

Introducing a brand new segment for Copycat Queen V; The Frightful Fashions Roundup. Usually I show you some of the celebs nicest outfits, and how to replicate them. This new weekly (hopefully :p) segment is the opposite. It will show you what to avoid.

Catching the celebs in their fashion fail moments, this is a list of some of the most daggy, mismatched, or just plain ugly outfits from the week.



Reese Witherspoon

Reese is usually spotted in comfortable casual clothes. Not one to get overly dressed up in her day to day life, this outfit takes it too far. I'm all for being comfy at the airport, but please Reese, there's no need to look like a cross between a slouchy soccer mum and a daggy hippy.

Kendall Jenner - Sweater Dress Outfit

As Kendall Jenner gains more and more popularity, increasing numbers of photos are circulating showing her spot on fashion sense. Here we see another example of her chic style.

The light colours of this outfit play beautifully off of Kendall's dark hair, and is a great example of thinking outside the LBD mould for chic nightwear. The loose fit of her sweater dress goes perfectly with thigh high boots, stopping the boots from looking too OTT sexy. Both dresses I chose are

Emma Stone - Lanvin Skirt & Sweater Outift

This image of Emma Stone has been surfacing on everyone's best dressed lists this week. It's a great example of a put together, ladylike look, that is still young and fresh.

Now, Lanvin is certainly not for a chick on a budget, but I found a great alternative to Emma's skirt. It's the right length, has the warm tones and jacquard print,

Dita Von Teese - Squirrel Skirt Outfit

I always admire it when people are not afraid to step outside of fashion norms, and Dita Von Teese is definitely one of those people. My favourite inspiration for vintage fashion

Atlantic-Pacific - Preppy Plaid Skirt/Coat Outfit

Atlantic-Pacific is without a doubt my first stop when after classy outfit inspiration, and here this talented fashionista pulls off preppy effortlessly. This outfit gives me flashbacks to the early seasons of Gossip Girl and their tweaked school uniforms, that came off more like standalone outfits rather than regulated dress.

Either of the skirts I chose

Taylor Swift Mini Skirt/Honey Flats Outfit

Taylor Swift pulls off the perfect preppy/sophisticated daytime look. This outfit is a great option for a comfy shopping outing.

The skirt that Taylor is wearing has

Atlantic-Pacific Blue/Black Layered Outfit

How, oh how, do I wish it was cold enough to be wearing this outfit right now. But no, I am stuck in sweltering hot Brisbane, steadfastly refusing to leave the one air-conditioned room in my house. Ah well, maybe If I look at pretty layered outfits like this, and keep up a steady flow of ice blocks I can trick my brain into thinking it's cold again lol.

This outifit is a super stylish way to wear a leather skirt. When choosing a skirt for this outfit it's important

Olivia Munn Green Jacket/Stripe Dress Outfit

Olivia Munn shows us how to style a leather moto jacket, without it looking at all moto-ey.

The jacket is the real stand out point of the outfit, and they key is the colour. It's important in order to pull off this look that the jacket you choose is a very intense green. Even more important than the exact shade, the intensity of colour will carry this look,

Emmy Rossum Black/Brown Outfit

Emmy Rossum mixes black and brown in this casual but put together outfit, on the way to the set of Shameless, looking decidedly more polished than her character Fiona often does (who I find fascinating, btw :p).

Taylor Swift - Red/Green Casual Outfit

Here, Taylor Swift shows us how to mix red/green and brown/black in a great casual way.

I love how Taylor mixes the red of her handbag with the green jeans, without looking like she walked off of a Christmas card. I think it works because she didn't put the colours into both of the main pieces of this outfit. The jeans are coloured, and also an accessory, her handbag, keeping the rest of her outfit in neutral (although different) tones.

The skinny jeans I chose are

Kate Beckinsale - Rock Star Outfit

Kate Beckinsale shows us how to travel in true celebrity style. Take note celebs, no sweatpants or flip flops in sight! In fact, if it wasn't for the luggage you'd think she was doing a photo shoot.

I love how rock star this outfit looks, without having heaps of bling to make going through the airport harder than it needs to be. There's nothing worse than someone needing to take off bundles of jewellery to get through he metal detectors! This outfit carries super style with minimal accessories.

Atlantic-Pacific Grey Skirt Oufit

The monochromatic outfit above is simply sublime. To me it seems reminiscent of a Mad Men outfit, but updated to be very useable now. Atlantic-Pacific is yet another one of those blogs where I stare at the clothes moaning "Why, why can't it be me?". But, a limited budget is no reason not to look fabulous!

My favourite feature of this outfit is, of course, the skirt. Look at those waves! It's truly magnificent. But, for a fashionista on a budget, the original is very out of reach, so the skirt I chose

Dita Von Teese - Melbourne Cup 2013

I have a particular spot spot for Dita Von Teese. She's always so put together and ladylike. She's self-styled and I think she's a true fashion inspiration for all of those who just plain like to look pretty as well as stylish.

Apparently she changed up her outfit for the Melbourne Cup at the last minute, to incorporate colour instead of the black and white ensemble she'd planned on, and it looks fabulous.

The key to this look

Who What Wear - Look of the Day "Under Wraps" Outfit

Who What Wear is an awesome place to go for fashion inspiration, and their Look of the Day section is consistently fabulous. Now, it's not exactly celebrity fashion, I know, but I figure the website is pretty much a celebrity in it's own right, so I'm keeping it as fair game :p

This outfit was a particular challenge,

The Blonde Salad - Sequin Dress/Top & Leather Shorts Outfit

The Blonde Salad is another one of the super stylish fashion bloggers that I always look to for spot on style inspiration. Here, she turns a diamond sequin bodycon dress into daywear, by using it as a top in an otherwise all black ensemble.

I've got two dress choices here for you to try and copy this look,

Blake Lively - Houndstooth Pants outfit

Here, Blake Lively mixes patterns, teaming a striped sweater and houndstooth jeans, looking casual and natural. Mixing patterns can be really fun, and surprisingly stylish, if you do it right. Blake proves this true, keeping her outfit to monochrome colours, and making sure the stripes on the sweater are thin and aren't too overpowering.

Jane Aldridge - Flannel & Cable Knit Skirt

How? How on earth does this outfit work? I never would have thought to put these pieces together, and yet here they look totally fab. Maybe it's just because of who's wearing them, by if you think you can pull off this look, I've got the pieces for you.

The cable knit skirt

Miranda Kerr - Spotted Pants/White Sweater

Miranda Kerr really is a true style icon. She always looks fabulous and put together whether she's sporting some amazing gown, or just running around in a pair of jeans, plus she's repeatedly in the best dressed lists.

Here, she's nailed the perfect mix of proper and casual.

Either of the pants I chose above will look great for this outfit,

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - Paisley Dress

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looks so effortlessly beautiful in this outfit. There's no over the top accessories or clothing, but she still manages to look super chic.

The dress I chose only comes in blue, unfortunately, but I don't think the colour change takes away from the outfit at all.

All the accessories
