We can divide celebrities into two categories. There are those who set the trends and those who follow them. Those who set trends are fewer and are remembered as pioneers.
We will focus on some of the most striking trends that were set by various celebrities.
Brigitte Bardot – Off-The-Shoulder Tops
In the mid-19th century, women started putting on a new fashion trend that exposed their shoulders. Currently, off-shoulder tops are a fashion trend, thanks to celebrity Brigitte Bardot. The trend came with a big bang in the industry, and today, almost every lady has one in their closet.
Madonna – Low-Rise Pants
Although Mick Jagger and Jim Morrison had the privilege of wearing low-rise pants before, the sexy trend first came into existence in the late ’90s. In 1994 McQueen had a show where all the models appeared on the runway in trousers with low-rise. With the help of singer Madonna, the trend became a global sensation.
Madonna once appeared in an advertisement wearing trousers. The design had a huge and positive impact that resulted in a fashion trend for the pants globally.
Kate Moss – Leopard Print
Whatever the famous Kate Moss wore back in the 90s was immediately termed as fashion. The same case happened with the leopard print. We have a reason as to why she is referred to as the “Leopard Print Queen.” She is good at combining different colors with the leopard print that makes her look gorgeous and outstanding on most occasions.
Paris Hilton – Velour Tracksuits
Sportswear is no longer about fitness. Paris Hilton’s courage on fashion trends positively impacted people’s sense of fashion as most of them copied her style. The Velour tracksuits have become modern fashion trends and a style for all generations to emulate.
Britney Spears – Visible Thongs
Visible thongs are one of the sexiest and biggest styles of the modern fashion world. The trend started with the models walking on the runway with thong straps above their waistline. Most celebrities adopted this style. Britney Spears has greatly contributed to the popularity of this trend. She made the outfit one of the main stage outfits. –
Rihanna – Shoes with Socks
In the last century, women used to wear heels with socks for practical reasons. The trend became irrelevant due to the introduction of tights. A couple of years ago, the fashion was re-introduced by Rihanna. The singer has a trend of combining designer shoes with bright socks. Ever since she appeared in an event rocking in the same fashion, the trend became popular globally.
Kim Kardashian – Contouring
Most people believe the celebrity introduced contouring. But the makeup technique was there way before her. However, trendy people appreciate the fact that she made it more popular when she took a selfie rocking on it back in 2012.
Jennifer Aniston – Rachel’s Hairstyle
The hairstyle was named after Rachel, who was a character in a TV series called Friends. The hairstyle became popular in the 90s. Aniston appeared on the twentieth episode wearing the hairstyle. Her stylist had decided to change her image, and true to the words, the hairstyle became a sensation and everyone wanted to have the same style on them.
Brigette Bardot – Smokey Eyes
All appreciation goes to Brigette Bardot due to her interesting Smokey eye makeup. In the 19th century, most fashionistas were conversant with eyeliners. However, the actress revolutionized fashion through the introduction of blurred eyeshades. The introduction took the fashion industry by a storm as everyone else started wearing the same look.
Bella Hadid Half – Unbuttoned Sweater
Cardigans used to be referred to as a fashion of the elderly. However, the notion quickly changed when Bella Hadid re-introduced a half-buttoned shirt worn on a naked body. Most women fell in love with the style and it stuck on the fashion trend list ever since.
Jennifer Beal’s One – Shoulder Sweatshirts
Showing off a shoulder while wearing a sweatshirt was a trend back in the 80s. The trend became known through Jennifer Beals, who accidentally created the fashion that was initially meant for a movie titled Flashdance.
Brigitte Bardot – Ballet Shoes
The fashion industry owes a lot to an actress who rocked the shoes in the late ’50s. During that time, an entrepreneur designed shoes as per the actress’s demands. The shoes were named “Cendrillon,” a French name that meant “Cinderella.” The shoe made her popular globally. She would always appear on different red carpets rocking the Ballet shoes. This made the flats so popular that every woman wanted a taste of them.
Diane Keaton – Menswear
More women rock in what is believed to be a “man’s” wear in the modern world. The fashion became even more popular thanks to Annie Hall. However, the clothes she dresses in were all inspired by Diane Keaton’s closet.
Alexa Chung – Peter Pan Collars
No one ever thought that Peter Pan collars would be classy and cute. Thanks to Alexa Chung for making this come true. The celebrity has been topping in the most fashionable icons list. Her fashion sense is highly inspired by the vintage or classical look. She has managed to revolutionize some trends that were quickly fading away.
The Peter Pan Collars make the dress look softer and girly. The combination of the celebrity’s personality and the Peter Pan collar makes it look even more attractive.
Jean Shrimpton – Mini Skirt
Jean Shrimpton broke her fear for skirts when she wore one during the ’60s. Many controversies arose due to the shortness of the skirts. More women started dressing in the miniskirts, and this made it a fashion trend to date.
Nicole Richie and the McQueen Scarves
