How to Look Like a Movie Star on a Budget

When it comes to style, movie stars lead the pack in terms of starting and sporting the latest trends. For the average girl, trying to emulate that style on a much lower budget can be intimidating. But, with some clever shortcuts and fake outs, you can copy your favorite movie star's style in a cost-effective way. Follow these tips for looking like a movie star on a budget.

Instructions

1. Pick up some magazines. Browse through the articles and advertisements to see what movie stars are wearing. Clip out pictures of outfits you like so that, when you go shopping, you can try to duplicate the look.

2. Shop at discount retailers and secondhand stores. Often, lower priced clothing stores offer outfits that mimic what movie stars are wearing. And, since these stores focus on price, you don't have to worry about blowing your budget on your look.

3. Copy a distinctive celebrity haircut. One way to look more like your favorite movie star is to wear your hair the same edgy way. To save money, have your hair cut or styled through a local beauty school. These programs usually offer discounted services, so you can get a salon-quality style at a fraction of the price.

4. Accessorize. When movie stars are photographed out and about, they are typically wearing chic sunglasses and carrying funky handbags. Picking up similar accessories is a cheap way to spice up your wardrobe and keep you looking celebrity cool at the same time.

5. Carry yourself with confidence. This is the easiest way to look like a movie star on a budget because it's free. Keep your head held high, your shoulders back, and walk like you don't have a care in the world.
