Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Liv Tyler is Bold in Blue

[Welcome to Celebrity Chic on the Cheap, where our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities (like Lake Bell) are spending $5,000 and more on an ensemble, you an spend way less...and save the rest for Margarita Mondays.]

I think Liv Tyler has given up any and all aspirations of being an actress, and now focuses solely on showing up to red carpet events (in between being embarrassed by her father’s pervy remarks on American Idol).

She has an uncanny ability to arrive looking more fabulous than anyone else. She has this detached, almost frigid aura that is alluring, and since she doesn’t give you any personality, you’re basically forced to be awed by her beautiful sense of style.

Liv is trendy, so her style is constantly changing, but she’s still unpredictable. She’s embracing the minimalist trend this summer, where the ensembles are low-key, and there’s only one eye-catching piece. I am totally on board with this, because I find it way too hot to weigh myself down with accessories and chunky layers.

Shopping Info: Dress- Delia’s, $39.50; Vest- Topshop, $20; Shoes- Piperlime, $39.99.

This cobalt blue dress is clearly the centerpiece – it’s vibrant, rich, and can easily transition from day to night with little to no effort. It is the perfect summer staple for your wardrobe. The cut is flattering, and the color looks great on all skin tones. The white vest is ideal if you’re like me and sometimes want an extra lightweight layer, just to break up the monotony of wearing dresses all the time. It adds a little visual interest. Nude stacked heels are a great shoe for this look – feminine, chic, simple, and way easier to walk in than a skinny stiletto.  This is a fabulously low-maintenance, but still totally on-trend aesthetic.
