I Just Noticed That Rosie HW's Best Looks All Follow One Very Simple Formula
If we were to make a list of celebrity closets we’d like to raid, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s might just be number one. The model perfectly toes the line between sleek and statement, often stepping out in wearable looks we're desperate to re-create. And after spending months lusting after Rosie's outfits, I've noticed that many of her best looks actually follow a very simple formula. The model starts with a base of minimalist wardrobe staples (such as tailored black pants, a black bodysuit, etc.) and pairs these items against one must-have, statement piece—like a leopard-print coat or crystal-embellished shoe.
Over the weekend, Rosie wore not one but four looks that follow this exact rule, proving that it's a foolproof way to emulate the model's style. For an evening outing, Rosie elevated a classic LBD with the addition of crystal-covered shoes, and for the daytime, Rosie donned two separate statement-making coats (hello, new-season Bottega!) over all-black base looks.
Considering many of us already have closets full of classic wardrobe staples, now seems like a good a time as any to add a few statement pieces. Keep scrolling to see Rosie's most recent looks and shop key pieces in her wardrobe.
1. Yellow Coat + Black Top + Black Trousers
Style Notes: Here Rosie started with an all-black look and updated the outfit with the addition of a brightly coloured coat by Bottega Veneta.
2. Statement Blazer + Black Trousers
Style Notes: Always a fan of a classic colour palette, Rosie added interest to this look by opting for unique tailoring.
3. Leopard-Print Coat + Black Top + Tailored Trousers
Style Notes: Once again, Rosie elevated a classic look with a statement coat. Here she opts for leopard print.
4. Little Black Dress + Statement Shoe
Style Notes: There's nothing quite as classic as a Little Black Dress on a night out. Rosie adds a touch of sparkle to this one with some crystal-embellished heels.
