Influencers Have Platforms, Celebs Have Street Style

And yeah, they're definitely using it to stay famous.

In a world where pretty much anyone can go viral on social media as long as they have a phone, internet access, and a good/ bad/weird/dramatic idea, it's become hard out there for A-listers. Well, obviously not, like, truly hard, but a bit more difficult to compete with career influencers for attention (not to mention for lucrative endorsement deals). Their solution? The expertly taken, looks candid-but-is-almost-certainly-not street style photo.

Yes, I mean those paparazzi shots featuring your favorite celebrity striding from grocery store to car or from car to coffee shop in an enviable outfit. You may have saved a few to Pinterest when hoarding future wardrobe inspo. (I definitely *will wear a fuzzy jacket and crop top combo one day.) You may have marveled at said star's cool off-duty style, their ability to just "throw something together." You and everyone else.
