14 Times Celebrities Were the Main Character

14 Times Celebrities Were the Main Character

Get ready to bring main character energy into 2021 fashion with inspiration from Naomi Campbell, Mariah Carey, and more.

After quarantine has deprived us of the joys of dressing up, many have vowed to never again take for granted an opportunity to turn out a look. If the weekly grocery run is the biggest event we have to look forward to, we're going be the best-dressed shopper in Whole Foods. And if picking up a Starbucks order marks the peak of human contact we'll reach each day, we'll wow the barista time and time again.

Yes, the events of 2020 have everyone dreaming about main character fashion. You know, like when Carrie Bradshaw walks the streets of New York in a tutu or Cher Horowitz wears a matching plaid skirt suit to school? It's the art of overdressing and putting everyone else's ensembles to shame, regardless of the occasion. It's no surprise that celebrities have mastered the art of main character fashion more than us mere mortals, whether that means donning a Dolce & Gabanna gown for community service or platform boots for a Sephora run. Here, L'OFFICIEL rounds up 14 of the best celebrity fashion moments serving main character vibes.

This yellow shearling coat first appeared on the Bottega Veneta Fall/Winter 2020 runway in February, before Rihanna donned it on the cover of Harper's Bazaar's September 2020 issue. In October 2020, Hailey Bieber casually grabbed some Starbucks as the fringe of the $9,450 coat gently brushed the New York City sidewalks.

Naomi Campbell completing court-ordered community service


                     

At the beginning of 2007, Naomi Campbell threw her cellphone at her maid when the woman couldn't locate a missing pair of the model's jeans. Campbell was sentenced to a week of community service at a New York City sanitation garage, and on one of her final days of service, she wore a couture Dolce & Gabbana dress to carry out her duties. In an interview years later, Campbell said, "Why shouldn't I have done? Why should they expect me to go looking bedraggled or something?"

Kim Kardashian asked her Twitter followers to caption this iconic photo of everyone's favorite vodka-drinking momager, Kris Jenner. Dressed to the nines in a platinum wig and fur scarf, Jenner sure knows how to sip in style.

Harry Styles shopping at Gucci




On a casual shopping spree to the Gucci store, one of Styles' most-loved brands, the popstar bought so much merchandise that men in fancy suits had to carry some of it for him. If that's not main character energy, what is?

Cher running errands in a face mask


                                

A key component of main character energy is a careless attitude, exemplified perfectly by Cher, who multitasked by running errands in a face mask. This isn't the only time she's done this, either.
