If you're familiar with my byline, you know I love covering red carpet events. For instance, I've recently covered glamorous looks from Amal Clooney, Jenna Ortega, and Lupita Nyong'o. This story, however, won't feature any glittering gowns, elbow-length gloves, or million-dollar jewels. Instead, I'm focusing on celeb-approved wardrobe basics.
My list includes Emily Ratajkowski's go-to $20 T-shirt, Julia Roberts's favorite $10 tights, Olivia Rodrigo's cute sneakers, Greta Lee's chic top, and more. In addition to having a celebrity's stamp of approval, each piece is versatile and can be styled in many different ways. What more could you want? Scroll down to shop my list of very good basics celebrities are wearing right now.
