Steal the look: Kelly Ripa

Kelly Ripa has it all: a hot husband, gorgeous children, fabulous career, killer figure, and here, a super chic out-and-about ensemble. You may not be able to steal her fairytale life, but you can steal this look.

Tank top

Kelly's look starts with a simple solid navy tank top. Try Old Navy's long layering tank in navy blue; its soft cotton material is ultra comfortable and it features a scoop neck similar to the one on the shirt Kelly is sporting. Best of all, you'll get a whole lot of mileage out of this super versatile piece. $8.50 from OldNavy.com.

Skirt

Kelly shows off her killer body with a skintight horizontal striped skirt. While this nautical-inspired piece definitely looks fierce on her, the combination of being super tight and having widening horizontal stripes can be a bit tough to pull off if you don't have a TV star figure so we have two options that will help to get the same look in a manner that us mere mortals can achieve:
Stick with the tight pencil skirt silhouette but do so with a more forgiving solid-colored one with this below the knee high waist cotton pencil skirt in marine from Express. $59.50 from Express.com.
Or stick with the horizontal stripes but do so with a less figure-hugging shape; this striped skirt from Forever 21 flows away from your body and has forgiving pleating as well. Just make sure for this look to ditch the basket weave belt that comes with it. $17.80 from Forever21.com.
 

Shoes

Kelly keeps it pretty simple with footwear choosing dark brown sandals with thick straps. J. Crew's Elodie Vachetta stacked-heel sandal in nutmeg has a similar shape and color. Plus its thick stacked heel is ideal for strolling down the street in style, not in pain. $198 from JCrew.com.

Bag

Kelly carries a black leather handbag that is almost as big as she is! One thing is for sure, with a bag like this, you won't have to leave anything you need at home. Try Lulu's black Soho handbag, which is almost identical to Kelly's bag, right down to the gold hardware. $34 from Lulus.com.

Necklaces

Kelly adds some interest to her simple solid top by layering multiple strands of silver necklaces. Make this easy to duplicate with one necklace that features multiple strands, such as this laser cut bead necklace from Forever 21. $5.80 from Forever21.com.

Sunglasses

Look like a true star by finishing off your look with oversized dark brown shades as Kelly does. These brown Merona plastic sunglasses with embellishment from Target have a similar oversized shape and chic aura. $16.99 from Target.com.

Steal the Look: Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon epitomizes a stylish mom on the go. Here, she puts together an outfit that is both easy and quick to replicate. Here's how to steal her look for less!

 

Dress

Reese's look centers around an adorable tiered, floral dress. Those tiers create volume outside of your body and also run horizontally, so they are perfect at giving the illusion of more curves for those with more small, boyish figures. Look for a dress with a few large tiers such as Ruche's Crimson Fields Tiered Dress ($29.99) or the Daisy Ruffle Dress by Nick and Mo ($62).

If you're curvier, a tiered dress will not be as flattering; try one with large ruffles instead, like this Fairweather Fried Dress ($35).

Cardigan

Reese makes a sun dress more age and winter weather appropriate with a long, navy cardigan. J. Crew's Perfect Fit Cardigan ($.39.50) and ASOS Side Pocket Cardigan ($21.30 on sale from $39.05) are great options. You can easily locate a basic, navy cardigan at your local Target or Walmart as well. Or a fun remix on this look would be to swap the cardigan out for a casual blazer.

Shoes

Reese dons a pair of black shoes with a wooden wedge heel. Wedge heels are a big trend this spring and wooden platforms are both trendy and practical. Wedge heels are the best way to get the aesthetic boon of added height without sacrificing balance or comfort so they're perfect if you're going to be on your feet all day. Try Camper's Rachel Wedge ($99.99 on sale from $170) or Merona Maura Embossed Leather Wedges from Target ($26.99).

Bag

Reese totes a gorgeous quilted leather bag. We may not be able to afford a posh designer bag like Reese's but there are plenty of look-alikes on the market. Paradox's Studded Quilty Leather Cross-Body Bag ($98) has trendy studs at the quilted intersections. If you're looking for something more budget friendly, try ASOS' Lock Across Body Bag ($26.63), which is actually modeled after Lauren Conrad's signature Chanel quilted bag.

Sunglasses

No movie star ensemble is complete without sunglasses. Forever 21 has a huge selection of extremely inexpensive shades such as these ($5.80) that are perfect to polish off your look.
