One great thing about the age we’re living in?
Gone are the days when the only way we could get up close and personal to the stars was to camp outside a broadcast station or hunt for them at their favourite heartland haunts.
With the explosion in popularity of social media tools like Instagram and Facebook, celebrities are frequently sharing intimate snapshots of their personal lives with their followers through regular selfies and #OOTDs.
This means it’s so much easier to ‘stalk’ our favourite stars and gather intel on just about everything about them. From their go-to beauty products to how they’ve celebrated Mother’s or Father’s Day, there’s lots to find out about them through their social media accounts.
Today, we’re turning to these stylish stars for some simple summer dressing inspiration (which you can use throughout the year in sunny Singapore).

Of course we’d like to have an ice cream cone or three in this insanely hot weather. But the thing about Singapore is that while the weather is hot and humid outdoors, the temperature in offices and malls can sometimes dip to near-Arctic levels.
A simple way of ensuring comfort whether you’re in- or outdoors? Learn from the fabulous Ah Jie Fann, who matched her sleeveless top (great for keeping herself cool in soaring temperatures) with a denim jacket (perfect for cozying up to when it gets freezing cold indoors).

Tank top, $19.90 by Uniqlo; denim jacket, $59.90 by Zara
The singlet is made from mesh fabric to ensure ultimate breathability; perspiration dries quickly to minimise that gross sticky feeling.
Throw on a denim jacket and ripped jeans to complete your Fann-inspired ‘off-duty’ look.

There are a couple of summer essentials that every woman should have in their wardrobes, especially when you’re living in Singapore: Sleeveless tops, stylish shorts, comfortable sliders and of course, cool shades that’ll make heads turn (just like the ones worn by Jesseca here).

Shades aren’t just good for punctuating your summer look; they’re also great for hiding puffiness and dark eye circles, avoiding unwanted eye contact and pretending you’re a celebrity being harassed by the paparazzi.

What’s an outfit without a bag, right? We’re loving Julie’s choice of a cheery yellow shoulder bag. The traffic-stopping hue also helps to instantly brighten her relatively ‘safe’ off-duty outfit.

Serpenti Forever Flap Cover bag, $3,110 by Bulgari
Some of us are adventurous dressers (think head-to-toe floral print) while some of us would rather stick to muted tones.
But if your monochromatic outfits are starting to look monotonous, try injecting a bit of colour by introducing a coloured bag. This bold Bulgari design will steal all the attention whether you’re at a ballroom or a bar – in the most classy way possible, of course.
