What are they wearing?

 As you begin to clear out your closets in preparation for those key summer staples, we have been on a serious sartorial hunt for the best celeb-inspired looks for all your wardrobe necessities. Lucky for you, dear readers, our latest quartet of fashionable femmes is right on target in their display of spring and summer must-haves. If you're in a desperate search for Jessica Alba's lace-up booties or Sessilee Lopez's tiger-print dress, don't panic! Your research crazed Who What Wear editors have tracked down all of the insider details in today's WWSW: Answers!


Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba looked flawless attending appointments in Los Angeles last month sporting an Acne Pop Classic Tunic from the F/W 2010 collection over James' Twiggy Jeans in slate ($123). Be sure to check out Kettle Black's Plaid Shirtdress ($61) and BDG's Mid Clean Grey Cigarette Jeans ($54) for great look-a-like alternatives. You loved the stylish momma's entire look, but it was her super cool Stuart Weitzman Boho Booties ($385) and Ralph Lauren Collection Railway Bag ($1,995) that really caught your attention. These obsession-worthy pieces are sure to put you in the spotlight, but ASOS' Turner Suede Lace-up Peep Toe Shoe Boots ($85) and Steve Madden's Bcharmed Bag are equally impressive showstoppers.

Camilla Belle
Style star Camilla Belle was on your fashion radar last week thanks to a photo of her taken while shopping in Los Angeles wearing a chic, all-black ensemble. She cinched her vintage wrap dress with a Peter Som belt from the designer's F/W 2006 collection and paired it with Gap's Leather Ballet Flats ($40). Luckily, Calvin Klein's Cotton Voile Shirtdress ($79) and Urban Outfitters' Nautical Stretch Belt ($28) are stellar in-stock substitutes for those unattainable pieces. Belle finished off her polished look with Gucci's New Bamboo Bag ($2,350) and GG3108/S Sunglasses ($220), and while we believe these are both worthy additions to your closet, Avril Gau's Sarah Purse ($368) and Urban Outfitters' Square Sunglasses ($10) are two alternative accents at a more attainable price!

Kate Moss
The beloved fashion icon made you green with envy last month when she was snapped exiting the Ritz Hotel Paris en route to Fashion Week shows. Moss created most of the pieces in this outfit, showing off her much-desired creative abilities. Her fabulous attire—specifically, her own Kate Moss for Topshop Slubby T-shirt ($40) and Topshop Boy Blazer over Balmain's leather biker jeans (unfortunately from several seasons ago)—was head-to-toe rocker chic. She rounded out her look with a sexy pair of Christian Louboutin Pigalle Patent Leather Point Toe Pumps ($595) and a Kate Moss for Longchamp Gloucester Bag ($990). Switching out your black blazer for a white one like Diane von Furstenberg's Drapey Jacket ($325) is a smart alternative for the spring and summer months, just make sure to take note of Ms. Moss' pairings and try Les Chiffoniers' Zip PVC Leggings ($338), J. Renee's Regina Pumps ($90), and Furla's M Bauletto Python Embossed Satchel ($825) too for a similarly stylish ensemble.

Sessilee Lopez
The always ravishing catwalker, Sessilee Lopez, looked sublime per usual at the Zac Posen for Target 24-hour Pop-Up Launch Party in New York City wearing the Tiger Striped Sailor Dress ($40) from the collaborative collection. The hot pink print, along with its flirtatious deep-v neckline and tiered ruffle sleeves, makes for a foolproof party dress. Lopez kept the rest of her look simple with a vintage Chanel bag and Fendi's Suede Peep Toe Ankle Boots. Though these exact pieces are no longer available we recommend Dolce Vita's Manny Sling Black Pumps ($180) and Aldo's Schmierer Bag ($35) for their similar styles. —Jessica Baker
