16 Celebrities Who Preferred Cheap Clothes Over Couture Brands And Looked Incredible

Having access to a massive wardrobe filled with endless fashion choices is one of the most exciting aspects of being a celebrity. While we typically associate A-listers with haute couture designers, the following stars prove they can look just as stylish in more budget-friendly outfits.

At the end of the day, why shouldn’t they buy cheaper clothing? If they see something they like, they buy it— especially if it’s under $150.

From the Princess of Wales to Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid, these style icons have ditched their high-end designs and stepped out in everyone’s favorite fashion retailers.

Check out these 16 celebrities who looked fantastic in popular clothing brands.

    No offence but this looks terrible on her. The top would be ‘cute’ if it was maybe paired with a nice pair of elegant dark navy colored wide-leg pants or a flowy floor length maxi…but paired with the short peach skirt with what looks to be terrible cheap material? In this she looks like she’s trying to be a teen figure skater? Its just an odd outfit for her at this age and not flattering at all, not to mention those terrible shoes….
