This Instagram Star Re-creates Celeb Outfits in a Size 12 (and We're Obsessed)

Outfit inspiration doesn’t get much better than a good celebrity street-style photo, but so often those women don’t exactly look like us (as much as we wish we had Gisele-like legs). Enter Katie Sturino. The PureWow Coterie member and fashion blogger behind The 12ish Style has an amazing Instagram series, #SupersizeTheLook, where she re-creates celebrity style on a body that’s larger than a size two. Here are seven of our favorites.

The One Trick to Pulling Off a Turtleneck if You Have Big Boobs


Gisele Bundchen's Off-duty Stripes

Hello, outfit we want to wear every weekend for the rest of time. (Also, does this not debunk the myth that horizontal stripes work only if you’re an extra small?)

Meghan Markle's Double Denim

If head-to-toe jeans is a little too casual for your taste, try adding a gorgeous camel coat and black flats or pumps to dress it up a tad.

Tracee Ellis Ross's Hot Pink Frock

What up, legs? To balance a mid-thigh slit, opt for over-the-knee boots, which provide a little extra coverage without looking overly buttoned-up.

Diane Kruger's Leopard Coat

A more day-to-day example of pulling off a statement piece is this copyable look, which relies on a simple base of black jeans and a white top. That serves as a neutral background for a funky animal-print, faux-fur topper.

Yara Shahidi's Unexpected Layers

Umm, this pairing is kind of genius. A crisp white button-down makes a cocktail dress totally day-appropriate, especially finished off with a pair of low ankle booties.


Kendall Jenner's White Suit

Whether you're wearing a full-on suit like Jenner or Sturino's jeans-and-pajama-blazer combo, consider ditching any stuffy dress shirts and style this night-out look with a slub-knit T-shirt for an effortless vibe.

Jessica Alba's Airy White Dress

If you feel a little too dainty in a breezy white sundress (*raises hand*), take a page out of the Alba-Sturino playbook and toughen it up with an oversize utility jacket. No one will mistake you for a Coachella-bound 18-year-old—or a girl on her way to her first communion.
