I Just Re-Created Rochelle Humes' Expensive-Looking Outfit With These Elegant High-Street Buys

As a fashion writer, I spend a lot of my time dissecting celebrity looks and the influences behind them. Nothing peps me up like spotting an archival look on a red carpet or seeing a runway item freshly interpreted at an event. Still, as enchanted as I am by the glossy side of fashion, I'm equally interested in the personal style of the stars—particularly those with access to the latest and greatest buys.

Totally obsessed with celebrity style, I have a few firm favourites I check in on frequently to see what they're reaching for across the seasons, and singer and presenter Rochelle Humes is one of them. Having cultivated an enviable wardrobe of classic items, Humes is often my template for new-season styling inspiration—and this week is no different. Stepping out in London, Humes' outfit was simple but drenched in sophistication.

Instead of a simple tee or tank, Humes selected an elegant boat-neck top in a cream shade to form the base of her look. She paired this sleek top with a trending pair of brown trousers that fell loosely around her legs, creating a relaxed silhouette.

Elevating the look further, Humes tapped into one of the biggest bag trends of the year with a top-handle bag in a deep merlot shade that asserted that the burgundy bag trend is set to be autumn's chicest. Whilst the outfit is pared-back on paper, it's precisely this that makes it feel so expensive. With a focus on cut and expensive-looking shades, her evening outfit demonstrates exactly why she's a style icon to so many (myself included).

I'm sure several of these pieces come with a hefty price tag—her burgundy Hermès Birkin is a key indicator that she has expensive taste—the simplicity of each item makes it easy to re-create the look at just about any price point. Inspired to do just that, I've found near-identical matches on the high street.
