The stars align and shine bright whenever duty calls. While most of us dress up as a form of expression, celebrities take it as a service to humanity, spreading cheer and good fashion sense as the occasion serves. For instance, in Los Angeles, Michael Kors called the stars for a collection launch, and they answered in befitting ensembles that would serve you well regardless of where your weekend escapades lead.
The details held the looks down. As simplicity tried to have its way, embroidered inclusions, unusual silhouettes, and lush fabrics refused basic submissions. There’s no denying that recreating any of these celebrity looks this weekend would rack up your fashion ante by multiple points.
Check out chic celeb looks at the Michael Kors Rodeo Drive collection launch and other events…
#1. Gabrielle Union
Making toasts and enjoying premium company, the stars gathered to celebrate the latest Michael Kors Rodeo Drive collection. Gabrielle Union showed up at Canter’s Deli, LA in an unconventional party get-up. She chose to rock a high-neck t-shirt styled with a lacy, flowy skirt. Lightweight lace pieces, grunge styling, and sophisticated, simplistic options, as seen on Ms. Union, are the few ways lace has shown the efficacy of its comeback. This is a cool weekend look for an evening service at your place of worship.

#2. Alicia Keys
This weekend, opt for a cropped-jersey-and-cargo-jeans look enlivened with vintage jewelry. It’s an instant time travel to the noughties, where the colors spoke and chunky earrings sprinkled edge unprovoked. Consider utility pants if you don’t want to take a handbag to the games. Utilize this fit as the perfect sporty summer look.
#3. Jung Ho-yeon
Send preppy chills down your weekend closet with a little black dress and a white collared shirt. Adopt the stockings trend for a college girl delivery. Complete the look with sleek black shoes for your next fashion show, as South Korean actress Jung Ho-yeon has done in Jacquemus.
#4. Tracee Ellis Ross
Trust Tracee Ellis Ross to play with proportions and textures in a bid to express her quirky style. There is no better fashion brand to match her eccentric energy than Dries Van Noten. She wore a multi-green-toned look from the brand’s AW 2024 collection, featuring a deep green textured top, layered over a pink collared button-down shirt, and lime green shorts. This cozy coordination is a ten across the board for any event where you wish to appear relaxed and rich. The composed layers are perfect for a cool evening at the museum or a networking club.
#5. Kerry Washington
Kerry Washington took the sultry side of lace at the Michael Kors Rodeo Drive collection soirée. She wore a lacy dress underneath sequined outerwear for a barely-there tease. Her comfy platform heels and soft makeup look were the right addition to up the effortless aura. The scandalous Washington nodded at the party girl aesthetic with subtlety, yet leaving much to the imagination. Lingerie fashion is as girly as it gets; recreate this look for a girl’s sleepover.
#6. Letoya Luckett
Soft colors like neutrals and mint green merge to present a clean girl look with impact. Wear a white cropped jacket over a playful mint skirt, and show out with a blonde pixie cut. Neutrals render a refined poise when merged with prints, so Letoya Luckett spruced up the minimalist arrangement with a snakeskin mini bag and ample personality. Dress up nice in this get-up for a social media mid-day meet and greet.

#7. Kat Graham
Whatever the trend represents, there will always be someone who understands the assignment and then tops up with their personality. Kat Graham was that girl at the ACE Awards, wrapped in the intricacies of an eclectic Harbison Studio dress. The AW 2024 number held a black corset top and floral brocade skirt together in unusual unison. The asymmetric hem and exaggerated side peplum further punched up this ensemble. Head to the museum in this masterpiece and steal the view.
#8. Mindy Kaling
At this point, it’s hard to deny that the weekend brings a heavy dose of shimmer. Let the sequins out of your closet in a shimmering dress like a music star in the 80s. Mindy Kaling wore a draped, shiny black dress accompanied by simple heeled sandals to the Michael Kors Rodeo Drive party. Set a date with your childhood friends at a nostalgic restaurant to enjoy a night of bonding, great food, and shimmering fashion.

Sport this look to a party with select industry colleagues who can serve as prospective business associates.
#10. Mary J. Blige
Select a neon-colored suit for a summery show-off at your weekend office party. Slide into a suit for a professional touch, but announce the weekend in colors. Mary J. Blige attended the 2024 SOAW Festival, celebrating Mother’s Day with a clan of mothers. As the suit speaks, recruit chunky jewelry additions for a sure-fire statement.
