8 Celebs Who Know How To Make The Most Of Their Capsule Wardrobes

Having a capsule wardrobe isn't really something we'd expect of the rich and famous, who are usually seen wearing completely new outfits every time they are in public. However, even celebs have their favorite pieces, items they have clung to through a season or even a few years. And with that, those instantly became a part of their capsule wardrobe, as they essentially wore the pieces again but styled them differently each time.

"Streamlining your wardrobe streamlines your life," Misha Nonoo, a fashion designer, explained to InStyle. "With a capsule wardrobe, you never feel as though you have 'nothing to wear.' It's reassuring to know you only own pieces that can be paired easily and always look chic. It's also great for the environment, as well as your wallet, to buy better and wear longer." While the wallet part might not apply to these celebs, stars like Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Meghan Markle have shown that curating a closet in which pieces can be interchangeable is not only smart but also incredibly chic.

According to supermodel Gigi Hadid, a small black bag is a classic capsule wardrobe staple. One of the star's favorites is the Miu Miu Arcadie Leather Bag, which Hadid was seen wearing throughout 2023 and 2024. The small structured bag served as the perfect choice for running errands around New York City in a comfortable outfit, but it also looked fabulous with a more polished look. Structured handbags are timeless, not trendy — which is why investing in a simple one you can rock no matter the occasion is a capsule wardrobe must.

A coat that works with a variety of casual and dressy looks is a piece one will gravitate towards again and again. In actor Katie Holmes' case, her version of a capsule wardrobe winter jacket is a black wool coat that hits below the knees and provides plenty of warmth. Katie Holmes' stunning style evolution beautifully showcases the star's preference for sophisticated and timeless fashion, and the coat she rocked throughout early 2025 is a great example.

"Pretty Little Liars" star Ashley Benson loves mixing and matching when it comes to her style, but luckily, her structured black bag works no matter what direction she goes in. In August 2026, the actor shared on Instagram that she wore the stunning bag with a pair of blue shorts and a striped button-up. This 'fit was a tad more casual compared to the chic blazer she paired it with earlier in January.

Having a comfortable yet stylish pair of shoes is a non-negotiable in a capsule wardrobe. In Kendall Jenner's case, the supermodel loves the preppiness and comfort of a classic pair of black loafers. While styling classic preppy loafers can seem intimidating, pairing them with white socks is always a safe choice. Jenner rocked hers all throughout 2025, whether she went for an all-gray 'fit or a chic green jacket.

For Hailey Bieber, a foolproof way to dress up a classic white tee and denim bottoms is by adding a slightly oversized trench coat. The supermodel, whose fashion sense inspires many, has perfected casual yet put-together style — and her capsule wardrobe seems to include the classic beige transitional-weather jacket. In spring and summer of 2023, Bieber rocked the coat over a tee and jeans, but as the weather got warmer, she also paired it with a tee and shorts.

Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski loves fun accessories and unexpected silhouettes, but when it comes to her everyday jacket, the star tends to lean into comfortable, vintage-looking pieces. In 2023 and 2024, Ratajkowski rocked her oversized brown leather jacket on numerous occasions, each time accessorizing the beautiful piece in a different way. From colorful scarves and fuzzy hats to even pairing her wintertime staple with black leather pants, Ratajkowski has shown time and time again how to style the same piece.

While capsule wardrobes are usually filled with simple, minimalist pieces that work well with each other, that certainly doesn't mean you can't also have fun and quirky items in your collection. In 2018, Kaia Gerber's white hat paid homage to New York City and added an unexpected tourist-fashion touch to her look. Gerber paired the hat with a completely different outfit for each occasion, showing that even more unusual pieces can be part of your go-to wardrobe.

Due to her sophisticated and minimalist style, Meghan Markle is definitely a fashion icon that capsule wardrobe enthusiasts look up to. And while royals usually don't re-wear their fashion too often (at least not publicly), Meghan has done so quite a few times. One of the pieces the Duchess of Sussex is particularly fond of is a beige trench coat dress, which she wore in 2018 and again in 2019.
