Style Spotlight: Birthday Girl LeAnn Rimes
Happy Birthday, LeAnn! Today we are celebrating you, your amazing voice, and your stunning style. I love LeAnn’s cool, casual vibe so I’m spotlighting her style with some of my favorite looks. Red carpet to barefoot ball-playing, LeAnn always looks comfortable in her own shoes whether they be stilettos or her signature boots. She’s a little bit country and a whole lotta glam…a look she achieves by mixing all-American denim, knits, and booties with luxurious handbags, sky high heels, and red carpet dresses.
It’s no secret that this country crooner loves her cowboy boots. From above the knee boots to ankle booties, this style staple is the simplest way to add LeAnn’s signature style to your wardrobe. Pull on the Jeffrey Campbell Brit Wrap Strap Booties with cutoff denim shorts and a leather jacket for day. They are a rugged bootie with straps and buckles that bring out your inner country girl. Or try out a classic below the knee pair like the Frye Elena Pull On Boots. They look fantastic over any skinny jean or legging. For a more glamorous approach to the boot, pair the Enzo Angiolini Carsen Booties with rolled or ankle skinnies. The Carsen booties have a sky high wedge and are composed of a smooth-finished leather that adds sophistication to any outfit.
While boots and booties may bring out her country side, LeAnn’s collection of handbags are undeniably city girl. Sling an oversized reptile tote over your skinnies and boots to bring instant polish to a casual look. The Twelfth St by Cynthia Vincent Berkeley Large Canvas Tote gives the illusion of reptile while actually being printed canvas, making it ideal for stowing your sunglasses as well as your kid’s snacks. Loeffler Randall’s The Mini Bag is lovely for lunch with the girls, pairing back to any jeans and jacket combination in your closet. LeAnn’s oversized metallic hobo gives star quality to a simple knit and skinnies, and you can add that same shine with the DVF Stephanie Medium Hobo. This oversized hobo is decked out with metallic chains and edged in silky soft suede. Its variegated metallic tones work back to any metal accessory you choose. For daytime looks, the Steve Madden On the Fringe Crossbody Bag lends a boho vibe to cutoffs and a tee (like LeAnn wears her fringe-y bag), but it also pairs back to flared jeans, skirts or a floral dress.
When she’s not performing or walking the red carpet, LeAnn lives her daily life with a casual chic vibe. For tossing the ball around in the park, Rimes pairs a cute pair of crochet shorts with a fresh, striped tee. The Lush Tiered Crochet Shorts work for this look or over a bikini for beach wear. When tossed on with the Whetherly Stripe Tee, it emulates the songstress’s easy-going outfit to a “tee.” Nautical by nature, this stripe tee is fun and flirty with its tie-detailed waist. Cozy up in relaxed knits like Inhabit’s Crew Neck Sweater. This lightweight knit has a near tunic length that goes well with boyfriend jeans and booties or with a simple pair of leggings for lounge. For easy-going trend, add a floppy fedora or edgy red motorcycle jacket over anything. I like Rag & Bone’s Floppy Brim Fedora for its warm brown color and sweet grosgrain ribbon. The Joie Lexandra Leather Motorcycle Jacket adds an edgy vibe to a cute pair of cutoffs or gives an LBD a shot of Hollywood glam.
On the red carpet, LeAnn always stuns. To show off her toned arms and legs, she opts for an asymmetrical one-shoulder cut. Her eye for stunning finishes, print, and sheens always catches the eyes, just like this fun printed Ladakh Killer Stare Dress. Mixed with a platform sandal, this dress gets a playful vibe to mix with its edgy cut. The Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Petra Platform Sandals go red carpet to the morning after with their sturdy heels, fun buckles, and neutral leather tone. Pair them back to a mini or work ’em with a skinny! The finishing touch is well in hand with a glitzy, printed clutch. Stella Mccartney’s Falabella Clutch steals Rime’s style with its fabulous red snakeskin print and silver chain edging.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays, LeAnn. Thank you for giving us the continual gift of your voice, your smile, and your fabulous celebrity style!
