If you’re not on fashion TikTok yet, consider this your sign to start scrolling. The style side of the app has quickly become my go-to resource for outfit ideas and I’ve racked up the screenshots to show for it. I could go on and on about some of the best style moments on TikTok right now (and I have) but today I need to bring your attention to one creator, in particular, whose outfit videos I can’t stop watching.
Laura Hoden, otherwise known as her handle @imlauranotlauren on the app, has gone viral for her series “Celeb style on a size 10” where she recreates memorable celebrity street style moments with pieces in her own closet. The concept of DIY-ing a celeb outfit is hardly novel, but I was immediately impressed with the level of accuracy that Hoden’s outfits achieve—she nails the overall silhouette, from the color scheme to how each piece fits—and while an exact recreation of any A-list ‘fit can easily put my bank account into overdraft, Hoden manages to do so with affordable favorites like H&M and Zara.
“I wanted to prove a point that size has nothing to do with having style,” she explained when I asked her about what inspired this series in the first place. “You don’t need the celebrity body (or budget!) to recreate these looks.” As a firm believer that style should be accessible to everyone, I couldn’t agree more. She continued, “I have seen a lot of discourse on social media of women feeling like they couldn’t dress a certain way because they weren’t a smaller size—and that hurts to see. I have lived my entire adult life between a size 10 to a size 16 and have never let my body stop me from having confidence in what I wear.”
Celebrity street style outfits are, of course, notoriously tricky (see pelvic cutouts, ultra low-rise hems, and see-through fabrics) but Hoden has an eye for the ones that she can recreate with the pieces that are already sitting in her own closet, rather than outfits that rely on shopping hyper-specific trends. Outfits from the likes of Hailey Bieber, Elsa Hosk, and Emily Ratajkowski feature regularly on her channel as they tend to fit her casual, minimal, and menswear-inspired style the most.
Ahead, see the original celebrity inspiration along with Hoden’s DIY version and, of course, shop the pieces you’d need to recreate each look for yourself.
