As a fashion news writer I spend a lot of my time dissecting celebrity looks and the influences behind them. Nothing lights me up like spotting an archival look at a red carpet, or seeing a runway item freshly interpreted at an event. But, as enchanted as I am by the glamorous side of fashion, I’m equally interested in the personal style of individuals—particularly those with access to the latest and greatest design wise.
Totally obsessed with celebrity style I have a few firm favourites that I check in on frequently to see what they’re reaching for across the seasons, and singer Rochelle Humes is one that I keep coming back to.
Having cultivated an enviable wardrobe of classic items with a vintage twist, Humes is often my template for new-season styling inspiration—and this week is no different. Stepping out in London the singer styled a simple outfit drenched in sophistication, and perfectly in-line with her well-curated sense of style. Skirting a simple tee or tank, Humes selected an elegant boat neck top in a light cream shade to form the base of her look. Pairing her pretty top with a trending trouser, the singer reached for a chocolate brown pair that fell loosely around her legs, creating a relaxed silhouette.
Elevating her style with a sleek handbag pairing, Humes tapped in to one of the biggest bag trends of the year. Styling a top handle bag in a deep merlot shade, Humes’ asserted that the burgundy bag trend is only just getting started.
Whilst Humes’ outfit is simple in silhouette, it’s precisely the simplicity of the look that makes it feel so expensive. Tuning in to elegant cuts and expensive looking shades, the singer’s evening outfit demonstrates exactly why she’s a style icon of mine.
Whilst I’m sure that several of Humes’ items will come with a hefty price tag—her burgundy Hermes Birkin bag is a key indicator that she has expensive taste, the simplicity of each item makes it easy to locate on a high-street budget. Inspired to do just that, I’ve found near-identical matches for her chic evening look. Read on to discover and shop Rochelle’s style below.
