As summer heats up, staying stylish in the sweltering city can feel like a challenge—whether you’re traveling or just commuting, especially when air conditioning is scarce and pavement radiates extra heat. Thankfully, celebrities have been nailing their summer looks lately, offering plenty of outfit inspiration to copy effortlessly.

These breezy summer outfits keep you cool—both in temperature and style. Built around lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen, they’re easy to repeat all season. Take Elle Fanning’s crisp white shirtdress with nautical touches or Zoë Kravitz’s slip dress paired with slides and a raffia tote. Both are minimalist yet chic, much like Jennifer Lawrence’s go-to combo of a graphic tee, denim shorts, and designer flip-flops (from The Row, of course).

For those who love bold looks, there are maximalist options too. Gigi Hadid’s playful candy-colored accessories and Daisy Edgar-Jones’s scarf-top with denim prove summer dressing doesn’t have to be boring. Plus, there are date-night ideas (like Taylor Swift’s urban florals) and wedding guest outfits (inspired by Rihanna’s fringe dresses).
