It's officially summertime and this week's celebrity looks had loaded us with inspiration. For the looks inspiring our browsing and shopping this week, we have red carpets and mostly casual street style to thank. On the red carpet side of things, Teyana Taylor stepped out once again and reminded us that she never misses and Hilary Duff returned to the American Music Awards—we're so here for her resurgence.
While we've deemed Kendall Jenner our queen of minimalism, Kaia Gerber reminded us that she is beyond worthy of holding a co-title. And, while we've deemed Dua Lipa our queen of naked-dressing, she reminded us that she's also the queen of shimmery and sequined dresses. Beyond crownings and titles, this week's celebrity looks brought us back to the basics: white tank tops, t-shirts with interesting hems, oversized graphic tees, and a simple baseball cap as the most effortlessly cool accessory.
Ahead, the celebrity looks from the past week inspiring our summer wardrobes.
Week of May 25th:
Kaia Gerber
JosiahW / BACKGRIDWhen we want to look laid-back and cool but chic at the same time, we often find ourselves turning to Kaia Gerber for inspiration. On a stroll through New York City this week, Gerber paired a black t-shirt with three quarter length sleeves and a flattering hem with classic blue jeans and black ballet flats.
Diggzy / BACKGRIDOver in Los Angeles, Kaia Gerber had us realizing that trench coats work for summer, too—especially in white. She paired her white trench coat with the it-girl shoe of the season (thong heels), a black midi skirt, and a red shoulder bag.
Dua Lipa

Chloe Fineman
BrosNYC / BACKGRIDSomething about Chloe Fineman's straight from the hair salon look just speaks to me. The white tank with the button up wrapped around her waist paired with the oversized black trousers and black flip-flops are effortlessly chic on their own, but the clips still in her hair really make the look.
Mindy Kaling
MediaPunch / BACKGRIDFor the New York City premiere of her new series Not Suitable For Work, Mindy Kaling was golden in an intricately embroidered midi dress by Australian designer Rachel Gilbert.
Ayo Edebiri
JosiahW / BACKGRIDWe didn't really need to be reminded that Ayo Edebiri is a cool girl, but we were nonetheless. Edebiri paired oversized black pinstriped trousers with classic black Tabi flats, a baggy white graphic t-shirt, a denim jacket, and a baseball cap.
Hilary Duff
