Fashion Faceoff: 35 Celebrities Seen Wearing the Same Outfit in Public

Fashion Faceoff: Who Wore it Better?

Oh no, she’s wearing the same outfit! This is a catastrophe! While wearing the same outfit to the same event is a major faux pas, there is nothing wrong with wearing the same thing in public, right? Yes and no! It is just another funny anecdote for regular people, but when you’re a celebrity hitting the town with the same thing on as another celebrity, it only serves to ask the question of who wore it better. We have found a few instances like this, and we are going to take a look at just who rocked it the best!

Caitlyn Jenner Vs. Kris Jenner

It is bad enough when the celebrity that you end up twinning with is a friend or a complete stranger, but when it is your ex, it is even more important to know who looked better in it. This happened to Caitlyn and Kris Jenner.

Caitlyn Jenner Vs. Kris Jenner

In early 2020, Kris had an appearance on a popular British TV talk show and wore a simple yet elegant black dress with a gold zipper. Eight years previously, Caitlyn had worn the same or similar dress to a publicity event.

Gigi Hadid Vs. Bella Hadid

Sibling rivalry isn’t just reserved for the Kardashians on this list – the Hadid sisters seem to enjoy wearing the same outfit as well – and it’s hard to pick a winner for this one.

Gigi Hadid Vs. Bella Hadid

Both Hadid sisters were seen out and about wearing this Tommy Hilfiger silver puffer coat. Gig kept it very ’90s with a turtleneck and jeans, while Bella was seen wearing it a few months later with more of an athletic look. Let’s be honest, they’re both stunning no matter what they wear.

Miley Cyrus Vs. Harry Styles

Fashion knows no gender, and that means that sometimes you will be competing with the opposite one, just like Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles did in this black sequined jumpsuit.

Miley Cyrus Vs. Harry Styles

In 2019 at the Oscar party for Vanity Fair, Cyrus strolled down the carpet in this chic little number, and a short while later, the former One Direction member rocked it at his SNL performance. The two even seem to have the same accessorizing thoughts too. Both definitely looked good.

Jameela Jamil Vs. Jonathan Van Ness

Rocking the runway at the Netflix Creative Arts Emmy’s afterparty, Jonathan Van Ness, one of the stars of Queer Eye, rocked this stunning fuchsia trapeze dress.

Jameela Jamil Vs. Jonathan Van Ness

The strapless number designed by Rochas was also the same dress worn by the British comedic actress Jameela Jamil at a YSL party in late 2019. No need for users to choose, Jameela copped to the fact that Jonathan wore it better on Twitter.

Kim Kardashian West Vs. Winnie Harlow

This entry from one of the Kardashian clan members is going up against Winnie Harlow. Both took a spin around town sporting this green Maisie Wilen dress.

Kim Kardashian West Vs. Winnie Harlow

Kim opted to tie in the yellow accent with a pair of strappy sandals. Having the same thought, Ms. Harlow chose to pick up the accent by matching her clutch to the yellow. Neither of them did any harm to this dress. In fact, they both kind of slayed it.

Brooke Burke Vs. Sofia Vergara

It is pretty common nowadays for stars to create their own fashion line. When they do, what better a way to get some free publicity than to wear it out and about on the town yourself?!

Brooke Burke Vs. Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara did that with a cut midi dress from her Sofia jeans by Sofia Vergara line. Then just a few months later, Brook Burke was spotted attending a meeting wearing the same dress.

Victoria Beckham Vs. Megan Markle

It might not seem fair to ask who wore it better when one of the participants is clearly pregnant, but when you’re a star, all bets go out the window when it comes to fashion.

Victoria Beckham Vs. Megan Markle

So when Meghan Markle stepped out in the same dress as Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham, there were sure to be some comparisons. Both chose colored accents, but Posh’s accent is just a bit brighter.

Zendaya Vs. Gwyneth Paltrow

Zendaya has come a long way since her Disney days and has cemented herself as quite the fashion icon (hence why she is on our list more than once).

Zendaya Vs. Gwyneth Paltrow

In early 2020 at one of the many awards ceremonies on her to-do list, Zendaya rocked a Tom Ford metallic breastplate. That same piece was also worn by Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar just a month later.

Michael B. Jordan Vs. Zendaya

The unisex look is something that not everyone can pull off, but Zendaya definitely seems to have it down to a tee. She sported a charcoal grey suit from Berluti to a Harper’s Bazaar event that had previously seen the red carpet on the back of Michael B. Jordan.

Michael B. Jordan Vs. Zendaya

Being the gentleman he is, Michael answered the question before we even asked via twitter. His opinion? Zendaya, all the way!

Khloe Kardashian Vs. Kylie Jenner

The sisters of the Kardashian/Jenner household seem to like to strut their stuff in the same things. This just begs us to compare them with each other, like in this animal print one-piece.

Khloe Kardashian Vs. Kylie Jenner

The one-piece from Onia x We Wore was donned by the younger sister on her trip to Turks & Caicos. There, she posed for a few ‘grams. Not to be outdone, just a few months later, Khloe sported the same suit on her trip, posting an image to Instagram as well.

Kristina Schulman Vs. Danielle Lombard

The Bachelor is a phenomenon that has gone on for seasons, and many of the past alums have made quite the name for themselves. Two of these attended the same party and wore the same dress.

Kristina Schulman Vs. Danielle Lombard

This could have been the height of embarrassment, but both rocked it their own way. Kristina chose to go business and accessorize it with a blazer and booties, whereas Danielle decided to go a little more hip and pair it with a leather jacket and white sneakers.

Kourtney Kardashian Vs. Kim Kardashian West

Fierce is one word some would use to describe the Kardashian sisters, and in this case, they would not be wrong. Both Kim and Kourtney chose to wear this tiger printed Roberto Cavalli dress.

Kourtney Kardashian Vs. Kim Kardashian West

Kim sported it first, and then a few months later, the elder sibling attempted to show her how it was done. Which sibling did it serve better? That is up to them, and hopefully, it doesn’t lead to another catfight.

Rihanna Vs. Bella Hadid

Bella Hadid walked the runway and took fashion to the races with this checkerboard cape and short pairing. She definitely worked it on the runway. A few months later, another star worked it maybe just a little harder.

Rihanna Vs. Bella Hadid

Rihanna, the pop icon, loved the look so much she took it out for a spin to a concert. This concert was on her home island of Barbados, and she lit the night on fire in this fantastic ensemble.

Amanda Peet Vs. Meghan Markle

Even when you are pregnant, you still want to look pretty, and especially when you are holidaying in Morocco. Duchess Meghan Markle chose to do that in a blue Carolina Herrera dress.

Amanda Peet Vs. Meghan Markle

That same dress found its way to the Game of Thrones season 8 premiere. This time it was worn by actress Amanda Peet with a bit of a different fitting, of course. The glow that Meghan had changed everything, and for this one, she may have had a little bit of an advantage.

Travis Scott Vs. Kanye West

There are plenty of men who like to show off their fashion abilities, and one of the biggest is Kanye West. During his 2011 Coachella performance, he sported this Celine top without ever breaking his swag.

Travis Scott Vs. Kanye West

That same shirt was thrown over a simple white tee seven years later by Travis Scott, and still, the shirt screams “I know how to dress.” Both rappers understand how to leave their mark when it comes to fashion.

Zendaya Vs. Timothee Chalamet

The Euphoria stars seem to have a similar style when it comes to red carpet events. Zendaya, a few years ago, chose to wear a beautiful fuchsia Christian Siriano suit to a Humane Society event.

Zendaya Vs. Timothee Chalamet

Inspired by this bold and stylish look, her now co-star Timothee Chalamet opted to wear something very similar. This time, the hot pink suit was designed by British fashion designer, Stella McCartney. Both clearly have a wicked eye for style.

Priyanka Chopra Vs. Olivia Wilde

Both of these stunning actresses know what looks good on them, and apparently, the same printed Kate Spade dress is one of those things. Olivia Wilde chose to go with a bolder color, making her modeling of this dress a little more memorable.

Priyanka Chopra Vs. Olivia Wilde

But Priyanka wasn’t to be outdone, choosing to go a little more subdued with her color choice (despite being able to rock that bright pink very well). Both have a keen eye and looked stunning in the dress.

Tracee Ellis Ross Vs. Jackie Aina

Dior has been a name in women’s fashion for decades, and so everyone wants to wear a piece when they go out on the town or to a special event.

Tracee Ellis Ross Vs. Jackie Aina

So when this fly leather cage skirt found its way into the hands of both YouTube star Jackie Aina and the comedic actress Tracee Ellis Ross, there were bound to be some arguments over who wore it with better vibes. Tracee chose to wear the skirt a little more business chic than Jackie, but both got it right.

Jennifer Garner Vs. Meghan Markle

Another entry from the Duchess herself, Meghan Markle. This time she wore a beautiful navy Roland Mouret dress to an event the night before her illustrious wedding. She accessorized the dress with simple jewelry and tasteful pumps.

Jennifer Garner Vs. Meghan Markle

Just months before, Jennifer Garner wore that same dress as she accepted her place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The actress chose to go without any accessories.

Dua Lipa Vs. Gigi Hadid

There are just some names that are synonymous with fashion, and one of them is Versace, hence the iconic and classic reputation of the designer and his clothes. That is why, no matter the age, if you want to look fabulous, investing in a Versace piece is a good bet.

Dua Lipa Vs. Gigi Hadid

Dua Lipa and Gigi Hadid know this, as is evident by their choice to rock a multi-colored jumpsuit. Gigi wore it first on the carpet at a fashion awards show. But Dua chose to wear it out for a fun night in New York City. Both know what they’re doing when it comes to fashion, that is for sure.

Leona Lucia Vs. Chiara Ferragni

It is rare that you get a mother-son “who wore it best?”, but here you have it. Fashion influencer Leone Lucia chose to take the question to her Gram. There, she posted this image of both wearing the same t-shirt.

Leona Lucia Vs. Chiara Ferragni

The cute novelty tee from Fiorucci looks great on both, but we think Chiara has the better model pose, so he clearly wins the contest. Plus, he is just plain adorable.

Olivia Munn Vs. Mary J. Blige

Who are you wearing? Fendi, of course, was the response of both Mary J. Blige and Olivia Munn. Both chose to take this black and white jumpsuit out on the town. Mary J. sported hers to the Essence Festival and paired it with a pair of matching peep-toe pumps.

Olivia Munn Vs. Mary J. Blige

Olivia, on the other hand, chose to go a little more relaxed. But no matter how the outfit was worn, it looked great on both of these amazingly beautiful ladies.

Demi Lovato Vs. Whoopi Goldberg

Did Whoopi inspire Demi? Who knows, but both hit the red carpets strutting their stuff in this cheetah print Dior gown. Goldberg wore it to the 2009 Oscars and Lovato nine years later at the Billboard Music Awards.

Demi Lovato Vs. Whoopi Goldberg

There is a little difference, of course – one wore a belt and let their legs slip through a slit, and the other went for a more covered-up look. Neither was wrong, and both were fun.

Beth Behrs Vs. Emmy Rossum

A simple little black lace top can be quite the addition to any outfit, but these two actresses took that idea to a whole new, yet very simple level. Emmy Rossum chose to don this number at a very special book launch.

Beth Behrs Vs. Emmy Rossum

Just a few days later, Beth Ehlers from 2 Broke Girls took the same top on a spin down the red carpet to a Hollywood premiere. Both paired it with a high waisted pair of pants and some cute pumps.

Helen Mirren Vs. Nina Dobrev

Seasoned veteran versus new blood? A generational “who wore it best?”. The iconic veteran actress Helen Mirren took a spin in a Prabal Gurung with ruffles to a film premiere. Keeping it classy, she paired it with a gray heel and a perfect little clutch.

Helen Mirren Vs. Nina Dobrev

As an alternative, the young star of Vampire Diaries, Nina Dobrev, wore the same dress to her premiere of Flatliners. She took a little more edge to it and paired it with a set of strappy jeweled pumps.

Storm Reid Vs. Zendaya

Zendaya, as we have already said, loves a good pantsuit, so when it came time to collaborate with the world-class designer Tommy Hilfiger, she had to include one in her line, and show it off.

Storm Reid Vs. Zendaya

A little while later, the young star of A Wrinkle in Time, Storm Reid, chose to rock the same suit. She decided to make it a little more dressy by throwing the blazer over her shoulders.

Meghan Markle Vs. Courtney Love

Meghan Markle and Courtney Love don’t have a lot in common except for their fame, and maybe a bit of style. The two ladies both put on a classy black Stella McCartney coat as they went out on the town.

Meghan Markle Vs. Courtney Love

The Duchess wore hers on a trip to Wales, while the rocker chose to wear hers at a YSL event in Paris. Both wore it well and chose to style it in their own unique ways.

Blake Lively Vs. Busy Philipps

Tartan is a fabric that has a classic and chic look, no matter how it is worn. Busy Phillips thought she would try on a Brunello Cuccinelli suit that Blake Lively had taken out on the town a few months previously.

Blake Lively Vs. Busy Philipps

Busy chose to let the suit do the talking, whereas Blake opted to top it with a long leather trench. Both took their own style and made the suit work for them.

Emma Roberts Vs. Alessandra Ambrosio

Both of these young celebrities decided to show their support for women’s rights and power by pairing this comfy t-shirt with denim. The style was not chic, more of an everyday wear kind of situation.

Emma Roberts Vs. Alessandra Ambrosio

But, both Roberts and Ambrosio were still able to make the shirt their own by pairing it with different denim types. That pretty much makes this contest a wash.

Kat Graham Vs. Katy Perry

The musician vs. actress “who wore it best?” lives on when it comes to this rainbow sequined dress from Christopher Kane. Katy Perry decided this was the look she wanted to strut on an appearance on a morning talk show.

Kat Graham Vs. Katy Perry

On the other hand, the actress Kat Graham (who, by the way, is also a musician) took the same look and paired it with a different shoe for a more relaxed look. Don’t get us wrong, she still looked chic. It was just a little less flashy than the red pumps that Perry wore.

Michael B. Jordan vs. Zendaya

A sleek suit is definitely the one thing you don’t want to miss out on in your closet. This suit comes in two different colors (or at least these two put it in two different types of lighting). It looks like Michael B. Jordan took a deep charcoal gray while Zendaya chose a deep gray-blue.

Michael B. Jordan vs. Zendaya

Both of these stars kept this suede suit simple and buttoned with a dress shirt underneath and a tie to complete the look. But there’s something about Zendaya’s stance with one leg out slightly and a hand in the pocket that definitely seems to set it off right.

Kendall Jenner vs. Rita Ora

This tunic-style dress is one that creates a statement on its own in a monochromatic black and white. The deep V of the neckline is a little bold but still conservative enough to be worn without anything under it, like Kendall decided to do. Or you can add something under it like Rita.

Kendall Jenner vs. Rita Ora

While Kendall kept things simple with a straight hairstyle and no accessories, Rita paired a fishnet style shirt under this tunic as well as fishnet stockings. And the bold makeup and braids definitely complete the look.

Beyonce vs. Keke Palmer

These two had some spectacular fashion sense with their Yousef Aljasmi gowns for two different formal events. The form-fitting gold dresses most definitely turned heads, and these two women knew how to pull off all of that sparkle and then some.

Beyonce vs. Keke Palmer

Beyonce paired her version with a cute clutch and some bright, shiny earrings while Keke kept things a little more subdued. Though her bright white nail polish definitely set off the dress as well.

Nicky Hilton vs. Ashley Benson

This leopard print jacket definitely pairs well with an all-black ensemble and both of these women knew that when they ventured out with it. Matching black bags, black leggings, and of course their long blonde, hair make it difficult to determine just which of these two pulled off the best look.

Nikki Hilton vs. Ashley Benson

While Nikki kept her jacket all buttoned up, Ashley chose to leave it wide open to show off the perfect clothing choice underneath. Not to mention the oversized sunglasses that really pull off that casual style.

Doutzen Koes vs. Gwen Stefani

These two rocked out in the same David Koma dress, but in two completely different colors. Black and white are an excellent complement to one another, with a sleek, monochromatic look, and maybe these two are both the winners in this dress.

Doutzen Kroes vs. Gwen Stefani

Doutzen chose strappy sandals and no accessories for her rendition (though the beachy waves in her hair might be considered an accessory). Gwen instead chose some more classic pumps and plenty of silver bangles to make the look her own.

Rosamund Pike vs. Meghan Markle

The Duchess definitely knows how to dress and this outfit by Emilia Wickstead is no exception. She chose to pair the black version of this button-down dress with a cute hat and pocketbook for a royal occasion. On the other hand, Rosamund Pike chose the white version without the accessories.

Rosamund Pike vs. Meghan Markle

Both dresses give a springtime look and accentuate a smaller waist. Not to mention all those buttons down the front that really set off the look. These monochromatic twins definitely make it difficult to decide who did the best job.

Jennifer Lopez vs. Kris Jenner

With this dress, you’re definitely going to get all the attention. The high neck, long sleeves, and long skirt make it more conservative, but that slit up the side and the glitter all over definitely make sure you’re going to be noticed. And that’s exactly what Kris Jenner and Jennifer Lopez both did.

Jennifer Lopez vs. Kris Jenner

J Lo decided to create an intricate updo with simple stones at her ears. On the other hand, Kris chose a little more glitz for her jewelry, including rings and bracelets, and kept her short hair more simply styled.

Miley Cyrus vs. Lena Dunham

Between these two, this pantsuit definitely makes an impression. Miley chose to wear it in a slightly baggy style, while Lena went with a slightly more fitted look. But both pulled off the casual, hands in the pockets routine when it was time for the photos.

Miley Cyrus vs. Lena Dunham

The all-black of the pantsuit itself is slimming and yet still bold, but it’s the white stripe across the top that really sets it off. Both of these celebs chose to keep the jewelry practically non-existent, with Miley pulling out only a single bracelet on each wrist for the occasion.

Tracee Ellis Ross vs. Jackie Aina

This unique black skirt is definitely one way to make a statement. The black color means that it pairs with anything and the woven design gives it just the right hint of style. Tracee chose to pair hers with a black top and black jacket along with a gold necklace and clutch.

Tracee Ellis Ross vs. Jackie Aina

On the other hand, Jackie chose a black dress shirt, tucked in for a bit more professional look, and a statement bag. But the all-black style for both is definitely sleek and oh so gorgeous.

Zoe Saldana vs. Kim Kardashian

This mauve colored dress features casual straps and a straight neckline with a cinched waist and a slightly full (but short) skirt. It’s definitely the kind of dress you can wear to an event like Saldana, or out for a stroll like Kim.

Zoe Saldana vs. Kim Kardashian

Both paired the dress with some more classic pumps but with a little bit of a strappy look. Plus their long dark hair really complimented the fact that this dress bares a little bit more of their shoulders. Why not show off those great locks?

Reese Witherspoon vs. Paula Abdul

This play on a schoolgirl outfit (or maybe it’s a nuns habit) definitely has some fun to it. The black dress with white accents creates its own style. Perhaps that’s why each chose to pair it with simple accessories like Reese’s pearl and gold earrings and Paula’s fishnet style stockings.

Reese Witherspoon vs. Paula Abdul

The end result is a somewhat demure dress, that still gives a bit of edgy vibe. After all, they’ve each got their own style to rock, right? And for any event, this dress really does make an impression.

Shakira vs. Pink

These two rocked out with the same dress at the MTV Awards and both of them definitely knew what they were doing. This leather look dress creates a unique vibe and the short, strapless, fitted style definitely showed off their own personal styles. Pink chose to pair it with pumps while Shakira went with tall black boots to complete the look.

Shakira vs. Pink

It’s definitely a look that fits the MTV awards, and wouldn’t look out of place in a nightclub either. Not to mention it pairs great with the short punk hairstyle Pink has and the long, messy waves that Shakira is rocking.

Lady Gaga vs. Beyonce

This see-through red dress definitely does have its own flare and both Lady Gaga and Beyonce chose to take it on in slightly different ways. Lady Gaga chose a black bodysuit under the sheer dress while Beyonce paired it with even more red for a vibrant look.

Lady Gaga vs. Beyonce

Lady Gaga pulled her hair back into a more severe look with her small sunglasses and hoop earrings. Plus some chunky boots and stockings. On the other hand, Beyonce chose her signature curls hanging down her shoulders with sunglasses and some strappy silver heels.

Miley Cyrus vs. Taraji Henson

The little black dress is a staple in just about any closet and there’s a reason for that. But Miley and Taraji took that a step further with this dress. The sleek black looks stylish while the cutouts definitely create a little more enticing look to go along with it.

Miley Cyrus vs. Taraji Henson

Miley paired this floor-length gown with a slicked back, short hairstyle. On the other hand, Taraji chose to keep her long, dark hair down around her shoulders, highlighting the dress and those curls at the same time.

Kate Middleton vs. Drew Barrymore

These two definitely have something in common with the auburn hair and the same taste in fashion. While Drew chose to keep the dress plain, the Duchess chose to pair it with some cute earrings and a shawl to stay a little warmer.

Kate Middleton vs. Drew Barrymore

There’s no end to the bright colors with this one, which means it attracts just the right amount of attention, and the slit down the front has a sort of peek-a-boo look that’s still plenty conservative for an audience with the Queen (or anyone else).

J-Lo Vs. Shakira

There are few celebrities that can stand up to the style icon J-Lo, but at the Superbowl in 2020, Shakira sure tried her best. Though not exactly the same outfit, there were enough similarities to compare the two.

J-Lo Vs. Shakira

J-Lo rocked a silver Versace fringe jumpsuit while the Colombian hip shaker, Shakira, opted for a gold option. They both kind of worked it, so why don’t we call this a draw, shall we?

Meghan Markle Vs. Lupita Nyong’ o

It is hard to compete with stunning beauty like the Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, but the Duchess of Sussex thought she would try. At a music festival in March 2020, Meghan Markle donned a beautiful red caped dress designed by Safiyaa.

Meghan Markle Vs. Lupita Nyong’ o

This dress was very similar to the one that Lupita had worn in 2014. Though Ralph Lauren designed Lupita’s version, the lines and shape were similar enough to stir some comparisons.

Emily Ratajkowski Vs. Gigi Hadid

The Tony Awards are a good occasion to get out the fancy duds and show off what is new in your wardrobe. When it comes to fancy duds, there is nothing like an elegant black dress. Which is exactly what model/actress Emily Ratajkowski thought when she rocked this number.

Emily Ratajkowski Vs. Gigi Hadid

The dress, though, had been snapped on the runways of 2019’s spring and simmer lines. Who rocked it? Gigi Hadid. And she did a pretty good job – not to say Emily didn’t hold her own.

Beth Stern Vs. Molly Sims

One may not think of cat print as an actual cat picture. Some would even question if this print is even stylish, but when paired with the right person, even a dress with cats all over it can be quite chic.

Beth Stern Vs. Molly Sims

This is what happened with this midi dress that both Molly Sims and Beth Stern chose to wear out and about. Both chose to accessorize it differently, and this made them both fashion winners.

Kim Kardashian West Vs. Kylie Jenner

Sisters often share closets, but it seems like there is a rotation going on in the Kardashian/Jenner girls’ homes. They have found themselves on this list several times already.

Kim Kardashian West Vs. Kylie Jenner

This time, it is a faceoff between Kim and Kylie. Both were seen in public wearing a very cute halter top from Charlotte Knowles. Kim strutted her stuff on Instagram, showing off her look with this top. Then later that evening, Kylie hit the streets to have a fun evening in the same top.

Princess Diana vs. Queen Camilla

While Princess Diana and Queen Camilla may share quite a bit – including their love for this dress, they don’t share the public’s affection. Given each of their reputations, one can assume that Diana’s version of this outfit was well-received while Camilla’s was widely disliked.

Princess Diana vs. Queen Camilla

We think both ladies look fantastic, although if we had to choose, we’d go for the neckline Diana’s donning. Just in case anyone wants to argue that these looks aren’t all that similar, check out the necklaces!

Kate Middleton vs. Meghan Markle

While many people love any excuse to hate on Meghan Markle, we have to admit that these dresses aren’t so similar that we’re convinced she was copying Kate Middleton. They’re both yellow dresses, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end.

Kate Middleton vs. Meghan Markle

That said, if we’re being asked which we prefer, we’d opt for Middleton’s figure-hugging look rather than Markle’s dress, which isn’t really doing anything for her. We also really like the flowy sleeves on Kate’s dress! Sorry Meghan, better luck next time!

Kate Middleton vs. Meghan Markle – Again

While both ladies look absolutely fantastic in this red frock, we have to claim Meghan Markle as the winner here. Her dress’s neckline is much more flattering than Kate Middleton’s harsh alternative. Furthermore, we appreciate that Markle broke up the color a bit with her accessories.

Kate Middleton vs. Meghan Markle – Again

That said, we wouldn’t really pair a black purse with nude shoes – we’d opt for one color or the other for both accessories. We still prefer the look over Middleton’s all-red ensemble though.

40+ Tips and Tricks That Can Help You Look 10 Years Younger

40+ Tips and Tricks That Can Help You Look 10 Years Younger

We all want to look youthful and vibrant, regardless of how old we actually are, and the trick is to make the necessary lifestyle changes as early as possible. Prevention is easier to manage than correction, so it’s best to start thinking about the “future you” now. Whether you’re in your 20s or 40s, or already a beautiful 60-year-old, these tips and tricks will help you look like you’re aging backward!

Exercise

Getting a daily workout in will keep your body healthier, your mind sharper, and your appearance youthful. Not to mention that proper exercise can help prepare your body for the natural changes that occur when aging. For example, focusing on balance via yoga can help make a fall in your older age much less dangerous.

Exercise

According to a study done at Brigham Young University, people who work out regularly were significantly biologically younger than those who didn’t exercise as much. Well, it looks like it’s time to break out our running shoes!

Antioxidants

Eating antioxidants isn’t only good for your overall health and disease prevention, but it can benefit your appearance too. Antioxidants prevent and treat fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and uneven skin tone, making for overall smoother skin.

Antioxidants

You can get your antioxidants by eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. It’s best to have these foods every day, if possible. Blueberries have been coined the ‘king of antioxidants,’ so if you’re a fan of these berries, feel free to stock up on them!

Don’t Use Products That Create Smoke

If you’re a fan of products that fill your lungs with smoke, we’re here to tell you that it’s time to quit. The harmful effects those products have on the body are endless! For the sake of this topic, we’ll focus on the effects these substances have on one’s appearance, but the harm to health shouldn’t be overlooked.

Don’t Use Products That Create Smoke

In terms of beauty, these products cause premature aging, wrinkles, stained teeth, and an odor that most people find unpleasant. So put down the lighter, it isn’t worth it.

Fermented Products

Consuming fermented foods can help with digestion and inflammation. Examples of such foods are yogurt, kefir, kimchi, miso, kombucha, and sauerkraut. Beauty products with fermented extracts in them are also a good idea, as they help with calming and brightening the skin.

Fermented Products

Look for products with fermented ginkgo biloba nut or mushroom extract. According to dermatologist Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky, a fermented beauty product “helps to keep the skin’s pH healthy and balanced, supports skin’s protective barrier, and alleviates irritation and dryness.”

Sleep

We all know that not getting enough sleep is bad for both our mental and physical health. But did you know that a poor sleep schedule can age your brain three to five years?! In terms of a youthful glow, people don’t call their rest ‘beauty sleep’ for nothing!

Sleep

Getting at least seven to eight hours of shut-eye a night can dramatically decrease the signs of aging. Keep in mind that if you don’t currently feel at your healthiest size, sleeping more also helps with weight loss.

Healthy Fats

We tend to think of fatty foods as bad, but there’s such a thing as healthy fat. Eating foods that are high in healthy fats will increase the skin’s elasticity as well as make the skin appear more smooth and supple, creating a more youthful look.

Healthy Fats

Such foods also protect the heart, reducing the risk of clotting, high blood pressure, and deteriorating blood vessel function. Foods with healthy fats include avocado, fish, olive oil, seeds, nuts, beans, and eggs.

Relax

Stress can reduce the skin’s elasticity, resulting in dry, dull skin and wrinkles. It also contributes to unwanted weight gain and a whole host of health complications. Therefore, although it’s easier said than done, it’s important to try to live as calmly as possible.

Relax

Activities that can reduce stress include meditating, resting, taking a walk outside, yoga, and socializing. It’s also worth noting that pets, specifically dogs, are great at helping relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. This fun fact is a surefire way to convince anyone who’s hesitant about getting a pet to adopt a four-legged friend!

Reduce Your Salt Intake

We love Salt Bae’s style of cooking just as much as the next person, but the truth is that salt is pretty unhealthy. We know that salt causes bloating in our stomachs, but what many people aren’t aware of is that it has the same effect on the face.

Reduce Your Salt Intake

Foods that are high in sodium can make your face appear puffy, especially under the eyes. The best way to wane yourself off salt is to replace it with sodium-free flavors, such as garlic, herbs, and lemon juice.

Drink Water

Drinking water will help with your health, weight control, and keeping your skin looking dewy and youthful. We’ve all heard the advice about having eight cups of water a day, but it turns out that’s pretty outdated.

Drink Water

According to Trent Nessler, the managing director of Baptist Sports Medicine in Nashville, “It depends on your size and weight, and also on your activity level and where you live. In general, you should try to drink between half an ounce and an ounce of water for each pound you weigh, every day.”

Stay Away From Adult Beverages

Even the best of us enjoy an adult beverage from time to time, but it’s best to moderate your intake of such drinks if you want to stay youthful. These drinks dehydrate you and, according to dermatologist Marnie Nussbaum, “dehydrated skin is more likely to appear dry, sallow, dull, and crepey.”

Stay Away From Adult Beverages

So, maybe try to tone things down on your next night out? If you’re not ready to give up your adult beverages just yet, make sure you drink extra water while enjoying your other drinks.

Handle Your Hands

Our hands tend to be the first things to age, but we can avoid rapidly maturing hands by taking extra care of them. Use hand cream, make sure not to forget your hands when applying sunscreen, and wear gloves for tasks that may be tough on your skin (for example, washing dishes).

Handle Your Hands

It’s also a good idea to get manicures from time to time, as the procedure will exfoliate your hands and strengthen your nails.

See a Dermatologist

People often think that they don’t need a dermatologist if they’re not interested in invasive cosmetic procedures. However, a good dermatologist should be able to provide you with a personalized skincare routine that doesn’t necessarily involve any expensive or dramatic treatments.

See a Dermatologist

For example, a dermatologist can prescribe stronger topical creams than you can get in the cosmetic aisle of a pharmacy. Of course, a medical professional can also spot signs of health problems on your skin that you may not even be aware of.

Wear Sunscreen

We all know about the importance of sunscreen, but, unfortunately, many people still tend to underuse this essential product. The truth is that you should be applying SPF of at least 30 on all areas that your clothes don’t cover. We suggest wearing sunscreen every day, regardless of the weather, and certainly not just at the beach.

Wear Sunscreen

The sun’s UV rays can penetrate through clouds, causing potential harm to your skin, as well as creating wrinkles. So, whether you can see the sun or not, throw on some sunscreen anyway!

Moisturize

You probably know how important moisturizing is, but do you know the right way to go about it? According to dermatologist Dr. Craig Kraffert, it’s best to apply your creams within three minutes of washing your face or body — before you dry off.

Moisturize

“All those pricey anti-aging products you’ve invested in will work more effectively if you use them on clean, moist skin. Not only will you get the benefits of the moisturizer itself, but you’ll help seal in the hydration from the water.”

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is beneficial in both food and topical creams. Dermatologists disagree as to whether or not eating Vitamin C is helpful for maintaining youthful skin, but it’s definitely good for your body’s overall health. It can be found in foods such as kale, peppers, and citrus.

Vitamin C

That being said, pretty much all the experts agree that topical Vitamin C helps in warding off wrinkles, dark spots, and sun damage. We’d air on the side of caution and take both types of Vitamin C!

Teeth Whitening

A tell-tale sign of maturing is the deterioration of the teeth. So, keeping your pearly whites, well, pearly and white, is essential to looking youthful. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and avoid drinks that stain the teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red adult beverages.

Teeth Whitening

Quitting the usage of products that fill your lungs with smoke can also improve your smile. If you’re past the point of prevention, you can always brighten your chompers using whitening toothpaste and whitening strips — consult your dentist for the best option for you.

Watch Your Posture

Our bodies become used to certain motions and postures that we repeat on a regular basis. Unfortunately, that means that if we’re continuously using a posture that creates wrinkles or fine lines, it’ll quickly become a habit.

Watch Your Posture

One example that we’re probably all guilty of is looking down at our phones. Instead, try holding your device at eye level while sending a text. Implement little tricks like that throughout your day to ensure that your whole body, but especially your face, is upright and tight.

Let Your Hair Air Dry

While it’s easy to focus solely on our face and body to maintain a youthful appearance, our hair has a big effect on how old we look as well. As we age, our hair can become damaged more easily, losing its volume and shine.

Let Your Hair Air Dry

A great way to prevent this is to be kind to your hair and let up on the heat styling tools. Really, you should be using heating tools on your hair no more than once a week. Trust us, your tresses will thank you!

Liquid Concealer

If you find that your skin has acquired some wrinkles, it’s best to switch to liquid concealer rather than powdered foundation. Powdered foundations tend to settle into fine lines, making them more noticeable. Liquid foundation, on the other hand, blends much more easily, hiding wrinkles.

Liquid Concealer

The hydrating properties in liquid makeup will also benefit your skin much more than a powder. Fun fact, liquids and creams last on the skin longer anyway, so there’ll be less need for touch-ups!

Stick to Warm Foundation Colors

As we get older, our skin naturally gets a bit paler, so using a warmer-colored foundation can help keep you looking young and glowing. Makeup artist Sandy Linter explains, “Even if you have ivory skin, you need to go a little bit warmer as you get older.”

Stick to Warm Foundation Colors

Her fellow makeup artist Chrisanne Davis added that it’s best to stay away from matte foundations as well as cooler tones. “A light-reflective formula makes the skin look like it’s glowing.”

Change Up Your Haircut

There’s a reason that women tend to change their hairstyle as they get older; certain haircuts hide the signs of maturing really well, creating a more youthful appearance. Bangs and soft layers cover wrinkles along your eyes and forehead.

Change Up Your Haircut

If you feel that you’re lacking elasticity in the upper part of your face, pull your hair back tight for a completely natural facelift. For women who are self-conscious about the lower part of their face, use long layers to hide your jawline.

Lighten Your Hair Color

We all know to cover our grays if we want to appear younger. However, not everyone knows the best way to go about that. If you dye your hair a dark color, you’ll have to re-dye it often as the grey hairs will keep popping up.

Lighten Your Hair Color

If you opt for a lighter hue, though, the grays will blend in and look more like highlights than actual gray hairs. Furthermore, dark hair tends to accentuate fine lines and wrinkles. Rather than a sultry brunette, try out being a blonde bombshell instead!

Upgrade Your Wardrobe

This is a tricky one, as you want to dress age-appropriately, but you also don’t want to look worn out. A good trick is to find stylish clothes that’ll hide body parts that show signs of aging.

Upgrade Your Wardrobe

For example, a scarf can cover a sagging neck, while a sweater can hide jiggly arms. Jewelry can serve as a way to catch the eye without drawing attention to wrinkles. At the end of the day, though, these tips only work if you feel confident in that clothing.

Use the Right Makeup Brush

A lot of women try to massage or rub concealer into their under-eye area in an attempt to cover up dark circles and crow’s feet. However, this method will only stretch the skin around the eyes, accentuating the signs of aging.

Use the Right Makeup Brush

Instead, use a small, flat makeup brush on the eye area. Keep in mind that the skin around the eyes is about ten times thinner than the skin on the rest of your face, so be very gentle with it.

Hats

We already know that we don’t want too much sun exposure, so a stylish hat can be a great way to enjoy a day in the sun without inviting too many UV rays. If hats aren’t your thing, you can always use a bandana or carry an umbrella around.

Hats

Of course, the bigger your hat is, the more protection it’ll offer, but you want to go for at least a three-inch brim. Not only will a hat keep your face wrinkle-free, but it’ll also prevent heatstroke!

Avoid Toxins

There are a lot of toxins in the environment, and we can’t really avoid all of them, but we can take precautions to make sure we’re affected by these toxins as minimally as possible.

Avoid Toxins

Drive with the windows up when in heavy traffic. Avoid hanging around people who are using products that fill their lungs with smoke. At the end of the day, make sure to exfoliate and wash off all the toxins you’ve encountered in your environment.

Shake Your Sugar Habit

We’re not saying to never enjoy a piece of birthday cake or a donut, but we are saying that an excess amount of sugar can age you prematurely.

Shake Your Sugar Habit

Dr. Ajay Kumar Ajmani explains, “High sugars lead to an increase in the Glycation of proteins leading to the formation of advanced glycation end products, which can cause functional and structural damage to them, resulting in fast aging.” It’s worth noting that natural sugars, such as fruits, are fine — it’s processed sugar that’s the problem.

Cut Down on Caffeine

If you’re a coffee or tea lover, it may be time to switch to a decaf option. Caffeine messes with our blood vessels’ ability to produce collagen and deliver antioxidants and nutrients to the skin.

Cut Down on Caffeine

As a result, too much caffeine can cause the skin to wrinkle and sag. Don’t worry, though, we’re not saying, “never have a cup of joe!” We’re just suggesting you perhaps limit yourself to one or two cups a day if you want to stay truly vibrant.

Facials

There’s no need for invasive or dangerous procedures if you want to look youthful. Instead, just head over to a spa and get a facial! Regular facials can keep your skin looking fresh, smooth, and young without any of the risks bigger procedures have.

Facials

One type of spa treatment that can help your skin is derma planning, which is an exfoliating facial. There’s also micro-needling, which stimulates collagen. A CO2 lift is basically a face mask times 10. Lastly, you can try a VI peel, also known as a chemical peel.

Blend Your Makeup

Blending your makeup is always important, but even more so when you’ve got wrinkles or fine lines that you’re trying to smooth out. One trick to blending is making sure your skin is well-moisturized before applying your makeup.

Blend Your Makeup

If you’re worried about looking too shiny, simply go for an oil-free moisturizer before starting your makeup routine. When blending, make sure to use gentle dabbing motions and upward strokes that follow the natural contours of the face.

Catch Some Sun

Okay, we know we’ve emphasized the importance of protecting yourself from the sun, but it’s also necessary to get some sunlight if you want to look younger.

Catch Some Sun

Vitamin D keeps our bones, skin, and hair healthy, so while you don’t want to overdo it, you do want to make sure you’re not living like a vampire. Ideally, you should be aiming for 30 minutes of sunlight a day, while wearing sunscreen and protecting your head, of course.

Grow Out Your Eyebrows

Remember when Cara Delevingne became famous and, suddenly, everyone was growing out their eyebrows? As it turns out, the bushy eyebrow beauty trend is backed by science! Our hair tends to thin as we age, including our eyebrow hairs, so full eyebrows are psychologically associated with youth.

Grow Out Your Eyebrows

For a younger look, let your eyebrows grow out a bit, and when you do shape them, don’t create a harsh arch. Given how painful and time-consuming tweezing can be, we’re gonna take this as a win!

Mascara

You may not have thought twice about skipping mascara when you were young, but as we age, this beauty product becomes more and more crucial. Mascara, eyelash curlers, and fake lashes can all come in handy if you want your eyes to look large and bright.

Mascara

Long, luscious eyelashes make people look energized and awake, two things that are most certainly equated with youth. And, of course, wide eyes are associated with youthfulness due to the fact that children are known to have large eyes.

Collagen

Collagen is what strengthens, hydrates, and gives our skin elasticity. Our bodies naturally produce less collagen as we age, resulting in dryer skin that can become wrinkled. While collagen supplements are always an option, there are a lot of foods that help the body produce more collagen as well.

Collagen

Such foods include berries, garlic, chicken, fish, bone broth, egg whites, and many citrus and tropical fruits. Sleep, healthy eating, exercise, and steam bath therapy can also boost collagen production.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is beneficial both as a topical cream and ingested via food. Consuming this vitamin boosts collagen production, enhances the immune system, improves the skin and softens wrinkles, and prevents age-related macular degeneration (blurred vision).

Vitamin A

Overall, Vitamin A slows down the body’s maturing, both inside and out. Vitamin A can be found in carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and mangos. Using topical creams with Vitamin A in them will treat acne, splotchy skin, fine lines, and rough skin. You can use creams, serums, or oils to get this vitamin’s benefits.

Cover Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are the wrinkles that appear first, for most people, giving away their age. While many believe that crow’s feet are cute, and we’re inclined to agree, they can be a source of insecurity for a lot of women.

Cover Crow’s Feet

If you do want to cover up these wrinkles, make sure you’ve got the right technique. If not, you can make them even more noticeable. Prime the skin with some form of moisturizer, apply liquid concealer in an upward, circular motion, and (if you want) finish with a setting spray.

Try New Things

There’s a reason that certain people seem to age overnight — it’s because they’ve stopped living a physically and mentally active lifestyle. Trying new things will keep your brain sharp, and your body will follow suit.

Try New Things

Research shows that people who feel younger actually do look younger, so make sure that you’re not giving up on yourself. Take up a new hobby, join a class, travel the world, and do whatever it takes to keep your mind and body working!

Vitamin E

Vitamin E prevents signs of maturing, such as age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. It also helps the skin keep that youthful glow by stimulating blood flow and collagen production. Vitamin E can even help with hair growth and shine!

Vitamin E

This vitamin can be found in nuts, seeds, vegetable oil, and avocado. Like so many other nutrients, you can find Vitamin E in topical creams, oils, and serums. On that note, many people believe topical Vitamin E can help with stretch marks and scarring, although that’s yet to be scientifically proven.

Wash Your Face

Washing your face twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, is the absolute minimum. If you sweat a lot, it’s best to cleanse even more often (always blot sweat, rather than wipe).

Wash Your Face

Make sure you’re completely removing your makeup at the end of each day, too, so it doesn’t clog your pores. While rinsing your face isn’t that exciting of a tip, it’s one of the most important ones. Some experts even say that neglecting to cleanse your face can age your skin by three months!

Check Your Facial Expressions

We’re not suggesting that you act like a robot and stare blankly at things throughout the day. However, it’s worth keeping in mind that overexaggerated facial expressions can cause wrinkles.

Check Your Facial Expressions

If you notice you’re squinting at your laptop, maybe try computer glasses. If you’re someone who scowls a lot, perhaps soften your face a bit. Again, feel free to express yourself, but maybe aim for laugh lines rather than a furrowed brow.

Nude Lipstick

Bright red lips may have been your signature look in your 20s, but as you age, nude lipstick becomes the better option. Chanel Meekins, the co-founder of Pierre Michel Beauty, explains, “Nudes, light pinks, and corals are all great choices.”

Nude Lipstick

“The reason these shades are ideal for looking younger is that they give the appearance of fuller lips. […] One thing to keep in mind as you shop for a new lipstick is that the darker the shade, then the thinner your lips will look.”

Vitamin D

Vitamin D, otherwise known as the Sunshine Vitamin, helps with fine lines, wrinkles, and acne. It also does a lot for the body in terms of preventing age-related diseases. A great way to get some Vitamin D in your food is to eat eggs, fish, mushrooms, beef liver, and orange juice, as well as dairy products fortified with Vitamin D.

Vitamin D

The Sunshine Vitamin can also be applied topically via creams, which is particularly helpful in fighting psoriasis (a condition that causes flaky/scaly skin).

Face Yoga

Some people swear by face yoga, while others insist that it doesn’t do anything. We see it this way: there are many potential benefits and no risks involved, so why not try it?

Face Yoga

The idea behind its effectiveness is that we work the muscles in our body to keep them fit and tight, so why wouldn’t we do the same with the muscles in our faces? There are lots of face yoga apps, workshops, and YouTube channels if you do choose to give this exercise a try.

Exfoliate

It’s important to find the Goldilocks zone of exfoliating. You definitely want to make sure it’s a part of your skincare routine. However, it’s important not to overdo it. Exfoliating removes dead skin to reveal a smoother and more youthful complexion underneath, so it’s certainly worth adding to your regimen.

Exfoliate

However, over-exfoliation can be counterproductive as it irritates the skin. A telltale sign that you’re overdoing it is if your face stings when you wash it or apply your other products. It’s all about finding that happy medium!

Be Confident

Remember that confidence is beautiful, so own your age — whatever it may be! Growing older is an honor that, unfortunately, not everybody gets to have. So, rather than feel bad when you notice a new wrinkle or see a gray hair coming in, recognize that you get the privilege of reaching a mature age.

Be Confident

So, love every laugh line, and smile at every bit of sagged skin, it just shows that you’re having experiences and embracing life — which means you’re doing it right!
