A sexy party dress: How is it possible that Iman never ages? We don’t have the answer to that question, but we can tell you that a slinky silk dress can make almost anyone look sexy, supermodel or not.

Iman

Chili

The casual jumper: Nothing is easier than throwing on a one-piece with a pair of killer heels. Chilli might not have found a man, but she’s definitely found her style nirvana.

Ciara

Short shorts: Not everyone has legs like Ciara, but a pair of cute shorts will be the foundation of your summer wardrobe.

Zoe Saldana

Puffy shoulders: Add bulk to your upper body with semi-voluminous shoulder additions like Zoe Saldana’s.

VIBE Kelly Rowland

Animal Print: The best way to look your fiercest is to roll out in bold prints like cheetah, zebra and tiger threads, oh my!

Cassie

Snakeskin: Do like Cassie and take the animal trend in a different direction--your shoes.

Nicki Minaj

All Glitter Everything: Shine like a star, Nicki Minaj to be exact, by adding a touch of glitter to your wardrobe.

Alexandra Burke

You’re probably not going to want to rock a velvet dress in the summer heat, but come Fall it’s one of next season’s hottest runway trends. Here Alexandra Burke looks glammed out in a Grecian-inspired getup.

Tracy Reese

A floral dress: Yes, florals for summer. Groundbreaking? No, but a reliable go-to for spring and summer. Here designer Tracey Reese models one of her own pieces.

Donald Glover

The plaid shirt: A summer essential, dress it up with a tie and blazer for work and down with jeans and kicks for the weekend.

Usher

Statement shades: You’re always red carpet ready with a pair of 0MG stunners.

Jason Derulo

The modern leather jacket: Yeah your Members Only jacket was cool in ’99, but it’s time for an update. Asymmetrical cuts and distressed leather give a cool update on this classic.
