Let’s face it: how many times have you bought something just because someone you adore wore it? Thankfully, not everything celebrities own is super expensive and some items are affordable for most of us to purchase. Whether formal or casual, these 14 products will make you fall in love.
1. Lele Sadoughi’s classic headband was proudly worn by Drew Barrymore, Hilary Duff, and Naomi Campbell. It is made from canvas and features a lovely knot at the top. It comes in black and is knitted.
Promising review:
- I noticed a friend wearing one of these cute headbands. We got into a discussion how I can never wear headband because the pressure they put behind my ears and cause headaches. I owe it to her to introducing me to this brand of headband. It is so comfortable and so cute on. I recommend if you have had issues like me in the past. @Mary Payton Noah
2. Superga trainers that are longtime favorites Catherine, Princess of Wales, Jessica Alba, and Jennifer Aniston. They are made from canvas and come in a variety of colors. They last in time and can be washed in the machine.
Promising review:
- I am a woman, U.S. size 8 in shoes and I purchased my trainers in a unisex 7 (for extra space since I have a wide foot). It fits perfectly. The only downside is that the back of my ankles rub against the back of my trainers, which made the back of my ankles a bit rough on the skin. Other than that, they are absolutely comfortable.
Although, one last thing is to purchase a pair of shoelaces that are long enough for the trainers because my shoelaces didn’t fully lace up. Overall, an excellent pair of shoes that were also worn by both Princess Katherine of Wales and her younger sister Pippa. @Kate
3. Khloé Kardashian’s favorite water bottle with inspirational quotes and time markers. It also features a straw and removable strap. It reminds you to stay hydrated every single day. It is made from food-grade, eco-friendly, reusable Tritan plastic.
Promising review:
- This jug is pretty awesome, definitely a lot bigger in person than I would’ve expected, but I love it and use it every day! I will say that cleaning it is kind of a pain since the strap on it isn’t easily removable. You either have to pry it off or clean the bottle with it on.
I got this as a Christmas present to myself and don’t even use it everyday due to the fact that if I don’t make sure the seal is in right, it leaks all over the place and the clasp that hold the bottle closed is broken as of this morning. I expected a just a little more out of the durability as it just broke on its own, wasn’t dropped or anything. @Ashton
4. Stance socks we’ve seen people like Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Hailey Baldwin wearing. Their seamless toe closure gives your feet less friction and more protection. They are suitable for both women and men in different styles and color combinations.
Promising review:
- Socks are well-made and fit well. I think it’s cool that both feet are slightly different designs, I actually get compliments when I wear these. I would have never thought I would get compliments on socks, oh well, who says socks have to be boring? My only problem is I can’t find other Stance socks with similar designs. Very good price, too. @Shale
5. Levi’s 501-type jeans celebrities like Gigi Hadid and Victoria Beckham wear. They are soft, lightweight, and accentuate your legs. They are light blue and are ideal for daily use. It’s best to wash them in cold water and without any bleach.
Promising review:
- I wanted to try high-waisted wide leg jeans for a long while, but couldn’t find a style I really liked… until now. I normally only wear stretchy slim jeans, but lost some weight and wanted to get a better fit. These are great, perfect sizing, perfect length, and not too much stretch. Finally, pants that don’t fall down to my hips. Great color and very comfortable. @Carol
6. Telfar shopping bag that is Oprah Winfrey’s personal pick. It comes in color purple and features a double strap. Made of faux leather, it has a main compartment with magnetic snap closure and an internal zipper pocket.
Promising review:
- I’ve wanted a Teflar bag for years and I must say I am not disappointed. The small bags are cute for date night or running errands. The medium can totally be a carry on for travel, a bag for a business lady, a bag for a mommy that has to take kids to the stores with her for or a cute date night! I’m a proud owner of 8 Teflar bags now. @Aisha Bennett
7. Apsvo chunky gold or silver earrings proudly worn by Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber. They are ideal for sensitive ears and are hypoallergenic. They are made of gold-plated copper and do not flake off and lose color.
Promising review:
- I am so pleased with this purchase. These earrings are such a nice size. Not too little, not too big.
A bright, beautiful gold. And they are actually heavy duty, I was surprised they felt as good of quality as they were. Highly recommended! @Angela Frank
8. Yeti portable cooler that is Matt Damon’s favorite. It offers superior cold-holding, with a capacity of up to 12 cans plus ice. Its high-density fabric withstands punctures and UV rays. Its shell is waterproof and holds its own when faced with the hazards of the wild.
Promising review:
- This thing is built like a real tank. The zipper is mega strong and even comes with a tube of chap stick type lubricant for it. Still extremely pricey, even for such a high quality product, but it should last a VERY long time and the cans or ice remain COLD, for well over a WEEK! @Don Killough
9. Thick high-waisted yoga pants similar to those Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, and Jennifer Lawrence donned. They come in a wide variety of colors and designs. They provide tummy control and feature 2 pockets. They are very comfortable and feel natural on the skin.
Promising review:
- I’m always on the lookout for workout leggings that are both comfortable and functional, and The Gym People Thick High Waist Yoga Pants with Pockets definitely deliver. The first thing I noticed about these leggings was the quality of the material. They’re thick and well-made, and they feel great against the skin.
These leggings are also very comfortable to wear. The high waistband provides a flattering fit and good tummy control, and the fabric is soft and stretchy. I also love that they have pockets on both sides, which is perfect for storing my phone or keys when I’m working out. @Susan C — California
10. Marc Jacobs’ tote bag Kim Kardashian and SZA have worn for the brand’s campaign. It comes in various colors and features a zip and a long strap to put around your shoulders. This is a small size and can fit most of your necessities.
Promising review:
- Cute bag but nothing special. I bought an insert to help with organization, but it really helped hold its form and sit straight. The main shoulder strap is the only thing on the bag that feels «nice». I’d even consider buying another strap to swap out to change it up in the future.
My calendar does fit, but just barely. Your iPad will fit, but it’s going to cut it very close. Now I’m wondering how the large compares. @Reed
11. Birkenstock sandals our favorite celebrities have worn, including Reese Witherspoon, Margot Robbie, and Gwyneth Paltrow. They are made from oiled leather. They are quite wide but can fit any feet thanks to the adjustable straps.
Promising review:
- As long as you know your correct size, everything will be fine. Both my son and I wear a size 39. His are a men’s 39 and mine are a women’s 39. I wear a true 8.5, and I believe my son wears a men’s 8.5 as well. I have worn Birkenstocks since I was a kid in high school, and they most definitely don’t disappoint.
Great if you have foot problems (arch issues, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs). The only shoe I can wear while being on my feet all day long and not be in pain when I get home. I believe the Birks in question are the ones I bought for my son. He LOVES them.
They used to be known as «hippie» shoes, but they have made a huge comeback and are considered quite the style statement for men and women. Considered «cool shoes» if worn by a high schooler. @fivegreatkiddos
12. Biore pore strips that are Rihanna’s makeup artist’s favorite tool to clear skin. They unclog pores from dirt and residue in just 10 minutes. With continual use, you can help reduce the appearance of blackheads and see a visible reduction in the size of your pores.
Promising review:
- After trying out multiple similar products, this one seems to work the best! It is super easy to put on (tip: on wet skin) and every time I used it, I could see white sebum dots once I removed it. The only problem I had was bits of mask remaining glued to my nose after I took it off. However, it only happened every couple of times and is super easy to wash off, so I don’t mind it too much. @Filip
13. Unisex Crocs clogs, celebrities like Justin Bieber, Pharrell, and Bad Bunny often wear. They are very easy to clean using water and soap. The ventilation ports add breathability and help shed water and debris quickly.
Promising review:
- The crocs fit as expected if you order down. I wear 6 1/2 and ordered the 6. Perfect. I also have wide feet, and they aren’t too wide. They are a perfect fit.
There isn’t any rubbing or breaking in period. I decorated them with jewels. I’m 61 years old and I sport these well. Money well spent. Again, the color is beautiful. @cici
14. Kendra Scott Courtney paperclip necklace Reese Witherspoon loves. It is ideal for layering and complements both delicate necklaces and larger statement pieces. To protect the plating, remove your jewelry prior to contact with water.
Promising review:
- I enjoy wearing this necklace alone or as part of a layered look with many necklaces I already own from my Kendra Scott collection. It is great quality and quite dainty and not heavy at all. @Toothdrmom3

A Woman Threw Away Her Childhood Jacket at the Dump – The Next Day, a Homeless Woman Showed Up at Her Doorstep Holding It
After Catherine tossed a childhood jacket, she thought she had let go of her painful past. But the next morning, a knock at the door brought her face-to-face with someone she hadn’t seen in decades and forced her to make a choice she might end up regretting.
That Saturday morning started like any other. Catherine tied her hair up, pulled on her faded blue sweatshirt, and grabbed a bucket of cleaning supplies. Her husband, Andrew, had taken the kids into the city to run errands, and she’d decided to tackle the attic, something she’d been putting off for months.

As she climbed the ladder, she felt a slight chill in the air. January wasn’t exactly the best time for attic cleaning, but it was better than leaving it undone.
Dust motes floated in the thin streams of light peeking through the small attic window as Catherine started opening old boxes. Each one was like peeling back a layer of her life: baby photos of her kids, mementos from her college days, and even her wedding veil.
But at the bottom of a weathered trunk, she found a small red jacket.

She froze, the sight of it pulling her back to a memory she thought she’d buried. She could almost feel the icy wind on her cheeks and hear the creak of the heavy oak doors at that old children’s shelter. It had the name of a saint that Catherine couldn’t remember.
But she would never forget being four years old, holding on to a second-hand teddy bear and being dressed in that jacket, as her mother knelt in front of her.

“Be strong, Katie,” her mother had whispered with trembling lips. With a kiss on the forehead and one last lingering glance, her mother was gone, swallowed by the snow and darkness.
Catherine hadn’t seen her since.
She stared at that small jacket, her fingers tracing the frayed edges. For years, it had been a symbol of resilience. But now, holding it, she wondered if it had also been holding her back. She was no longer that abandoned child.

She was a successful business owner, a wife, and a mother to two kids, Tom and Tana. Maybe it was time to let go.
Before she could second-guess herself, she carried the jacket downstairs and out to the curb. The trash bin lid creaked as she lifted it and tossed the jacket inside.
It felt oddly liberating, like closing the final chapter of a painful book.
***
The next morning, Catherine was just blinking awake when Andrew’s voice rang out from downstairs. “Honey, you need to come downstairs!”

She frowned and stood, throwing on her robe on the way to the door. “What’s going on?” she called out as she walked to the stairs.
When she reached the bottom, she saw Andrew standing at the front door, and their kids peeking out from behind him, eyes wide with curiosity. On the porch stood an older woman in tattered clothes. Her face was weathered and lined.
But what Catherine noticed most was that the woman clutched the red jacket in her hands. Her heart skipped a beat.

“I found this in your trash,” the woman said, her voice shaky but strong. “I… I always dig up things in the bins around this area. I was… looking for something to keep warm, and I saw it. But then I realized… I recognized it.”
When their eyes met, something inside Catherine shifted; the woman looked familiar in a way that made her stomach churn.
“Hi, Katie,” the woman said softly as tears pooled in her eyes.
For a moment, Catherine couldn’t breathe. “No,” she whispered, shaking her head. “It can’t be.”

“It’s me,” the woman said, clutching the jacket tighter. “It’s your mama.”
Andrew cleared his throat. “Maybe you should come inside,” he said gently, gesturing for the woman to venture into the house.
Catherine nodded and waved the woman over. They went into the kitchen. The kids lingered in the doorway. They were old enough to know that their mother didn’t have a mother because she had been in shelters and foster homes all her life.
So, this was probably confusing.

The woman, Margaret, sat at the kitchen table, her hands still holding onto the jacket. Catherine set a mug of tea in front of her.
“Honey,” Catherine said, gesturing to Andrew. “Can you take the kids outside to play in the snow?”
Her husband nodded and moved their reluctant kids away. They would explain what happened later, but for now, this was an adult conversation.
Once they left, Catherine sat in front of Margaret with her cup of tea. After a tense silence, she finally dared to ask, “Why now? After all these years?”

Margaret stared into her tea, her eyes glistening. “I never wanted to leave you, Katie. I swear I didn’t. But I was drowning. I had no money, no food, and barely a roof over our heads. No one would hire me and even if they did, I had no one to watch you. I thought the shelter could give you what I couldn’t.”
“You just… left me,” Catherine croaked. “You didn’t even try.”
In Margaret’s eyes, Catherine saw decades of regret. “I thought I was doing what was best for you. I told myself you’d hate me less if you grew up thinking I didn’t want you, instead of seeing me fail you every day. I pictured you being adopted by a rich family.”

Catherine clenched her fists at the words. She wanted to scream and tell Margaret to leave because none of that had happened. Her childhood had been more than rough. No one ever truly loved or cared about her.
That’s why she’d built her current life, from the ground up, with her sweat, blood, and tears. But she wouldn’t turn Margaret away. Catherine wanted to believe her.
“Well, that dream didn’t happen. And I don’t know what you want from me now,” Catherine said finally. “I’m not that little girl anymore. I’ve built a life, a good one, but it was so tough to do it. I don’t know if I can let you in it.”

Margaret nodded slowly. “I understand. I don’t deserve to be a part of your life, and I see what you’ve built. It’s so much more than anything I’ve ever had. I just… I had to see you after I found the jacket. Not only that, but I had to know you were okay. That you were doing better than me, and I’m glad that you are.”
With those words, Margaret took just a small sip of her tea and stood. Catherine watched as her long-lost mother walked to the front door, her shoulders hunched in shame.

She was going to let her go, just like the jacket, but she stood. “Wait,” she called, and Margaret turned her head slightly. “You can stay for today and tonight. But after that… we’ll see.”
Margaret’s face lit up. “Thank you, Katie. Thank you.”
That night, Catherine gave Margaret clean clothes and a hot shower and set her up in the guest room. Before bed, Catherine handed her $2,000 in cash.

“This is for you,” she said. “You can use it to get back on your feet, or you can leave tomorrow and never come back. It’s your choice.”
Margaret hesitated, her eyes shining bright with tears. “I’ll make it count, Katie. I promise.”
The next morning, Catherine woke early and went downstairs, half expecting to find the guest room empty.
It was. The bed was neatly made, and Margaret was gone. Additionally, the cash was nowhere to be seen. Catherine sighed, shaking her head. She should’ve known better.

She was relieved they’d only introduced Margaret to the kids as an old friend, not their grandmother.
Catherine knew her kids were skeptical of this explanation, especially since they’d overheard Margaret saying, “Your mama,” but they would have to forget about it.
She didn’t want them to experience any kind of abandonment. Their lives had to be different from hers. Feeling it again was already painful enough.
Two hours later, as the family sat down to eat breakfast, the sound of a key turning in the lock made them all freeze.

The door opened, and Margaret walked in, her arms full of grocery bags.
“Good morning! I went out to the market early. I thought I’d make some soup for lunch,” Margaret said with a small smile. “And maybe roast a chicken for the kids. Oh, I grabbed the keys from that bowl. I hope you don’t mind.”
Catherine blinked as her eyes darted between her mother and Andrew. “No,” she said softly. “I don’t mind.”
Andrew smiled and seeing their parents happy, the kids got excited about roasted chicken.
Margaret spent the day cooking and playing with the children. By dinnertime, the house was filled with warmth and laughter as she doted on Tom and Tana.

It was something Catherine would never have expected in a million years. Even more surprising was the fact that she didn’t want Margaret to leave.
A few days later, she told her children who Margaret truly was, and a little more about her childhood, as well as why Margaret hadn’t been around until now.
They took the story seriously, but their hearts were so pure they forgave Margaret immediately, and it only took a few more weeks before they started calling her grandma.

So, Margaret stayed and became a part of their lives. She helped with the kids, lent a hand with Catherine’s jewelry business, and even showed a knack for designing new pieces.
Catherine forgave her mother, not all at once, but slowly, piece by piece. And in doing so, she found something she didn’t know she needed: a family that felt complete.
Eventually, she bought a new red jacket to symbolize this life she built from effort… but also, compassion.
