Katy Perry
How to Get the Look: Dress like your favorite doll.
Spend time with some little girls, and you’ll learn very quickly that they want to do everything their dolls do. Apparently so do pop stars. Designer Jeremy Scott didn’t have to look far when designing Perry’s recent Super Bowl looks, saying, “Of course, the evening wear, which is very much channeling Moschino, has elements of what I did last season inspired by Barbie with super-glamorous Barbie extravaganza, in a way.”
Lady Gaga
How to Get the Look: Wear whatever is in your closet.
Lady Gaga is a fashion icon whose fashion sense can’t be pinned down. Neither can a child's. Like Gaga, little kids are inspired by everything. And they’re not above wearing everything they can get their hands on.
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she said, “I don't have my looks planned … I just wear what makes me feel good for the day.”
Lena Dunham
How to Get the Look: Wear whatever is on the floor.
Little kids love to throw their clothes on the floor, and they have no problem picking the same rumpled mess off the floor the next day and putting it on.
When dressing her “Girls” character, Hannah, Dunham applied the same approach, saying, “I would ask for her clothes to be steamed the evening before we shot and then dropped into the bottom of the garment bag so it would come out of the bag looking as though she’d grabbed it off the floor.”

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
How to Get the Look: Clothes don’t need to match.
Little kids are known to put on a pair of jeans with a skirt, tiara and their pajamas. They don’t care about fashion rules, and neither to the Olsen twins, who have their own clothing line called The Row.
"I love getting amazing jackets,” Mary-Kate explains to W magazine, “because you can wear your pajamas underneath and everyone’s like, ‘Oh, fabulous jacket,’ and I’m like, ‘You should see what’s underneath!’”
Lindsay Lohan
How to Get the Look: Always wear leggings.
If there’s one fashion item any toddler girl can’t live without, it’s leggings. They’re the perfect pants for little ones who want to wear comfortable bottoms without running the risk of skinning their knees.
Apparently troubled starlets feel the same because La Lohan loves leggings so much she launched her own legging line called 6126, which she calls “timeless.”
Zooey Deschanel
How to Get the Look: Wear adorable dresses.
Deschanel is unbelievably adorable on “New Girl” so it makes sense she’d dress adorably, too. And what’s more adorable than a little dress
Deschanel even designed a line of adorable dresses for Tommy Hilfiger, who calls her, “fun and funky and humorous and sort of like the all-American girl next door.”
Drew Barrymore
How to Get the Look: Wear playful clothing.
A little kid isn’t above rocking a tutu or a sparkly top, and neither is “Blended” star and mother of two Drew Barrymore. In fact, Barrymore attributes a playfulness and ability to take risks as her main fashion inspiration, saying, "I think the scariest thing about fashion is being worried about what people are going to say because that might hinder your playfulness—not a good idea."
She has a point.
