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.
#1 Angelina Jolie
Angelina was seen picking up a few clothing items at the French Connection in Chelsea, London.
According to Marie Claire, the Hollywood icon purchased three items: a white three-quarter sleeve top, a charcoal gray midi-length skirt, and a dark gold tank top.
She was also photographed buying basic T-shirts at the H&M on Oxford Street with her daughter Vivienne.

#2 Jessica Chastain
Like Penélope, Jessica also rocked an H&M dress from the Swedish retailer’s Conscious Exclusive line at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.
Her accessories weren’t as affordable, though. The Interstellar actress paired her white beaded gown made from recycled material with Jimmy Choo sandals and Piaget jewelry.

For one of her airport looks, the style icon wore a two-piece Kenzo x H&M set. The top cost $70 and the pants sold for $80.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid was photographed wearing a Levi’s denim jacket that retails for $80. She paired the fashion staple with a red crop top, denim shorts, and red boots.
When she wore a pinstripe corset by H&M over a graphic tee in 2016, the item quickly sold out.
Gigi also loves TopShop and has been seen wearing a £16 ruffle-neck crop top from the English brand.

#10 Gal Gadot
It makes perfect sense that Wonder Woman prefers comfy sandals over high heels.
For the premiere of the DC film in 2017, Gal Gadot opted for $50 strappy sandals from Aldo to accessorize her sequined red Givenchy dress.
Asked about her choice to wear flats, the star responded, “It's more comfortable! That's it.”
During her press tour, the mom of four was seen wearing slip-on white sneakers as well as black patent leather flats.

#12 Kate Middleton
The Princess of Wales loves Zara, too. For Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations, Kate opted for a green blazer that retails for $89 at the Spanish clothing brand.
In 2017, she wore a winter coat from the brand while her future sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, was getting ready for her first official royal engagement as a couple with Prince Harry.
While Kate loves her Alexander McQueen, she’s also been known to sport a number of popular retailers including GAP, Jigsaw, Boden, and REISS.

#13 Penélope Cruz
Who says Academy Awards fashion is only for haute couture designers?
If Joan Rivers had asked Penélope who she was wearing at the 2014 Oscars after-party, the Spanish star would have replied, “Hennes & Mauritz.”
Pénelope completed her flamenco-inspired, ruffled gown from H&M’s Conscious Exclusive collection with a smokey eye and a classy hairstyle.

#14 Hailey Bieber
During her vacation in California with husband Justin Bieber, Hailey wore a wide-leg Zara jumpsuit that sells for $50.
The model is also a lover of the athleisure brand Fila and the Canadian chain Aritzia.

#15 Beyoncé
Queen Bey has a few affordable items in her closet, including an $89 bandage miniskirt from House of CB that she wore for a Broadway show in 2017.
“Made from our infamous heavyweight bandage fabric, ‘Orsina’ features a fierce lace up design to the front and a shorter cut to show off your great legs,” the product description reads.
Beyoncé also wore a fun “PREGGERS” graphic tee by Asos that sells for $23.

#16 Kylie Jenner
In 2016, Kylie posted a mirror selfie wearing an $89 white wrap dress by Meshki.
In a separate outing, the reality star channeled 90s fashion in an Aritzia tube top that sells for $50. She went for a casual look, styling the white top under a button-down shirt, and completed the look with gray pants.
