Memorial Day is a fashion before-and-after: it means it’s time to switch gears on your style if you haven’t already. I’m moving into summer mode - anything that’s less than effortless, breezy and chic, or fun and colorful moves to the back of the closet.
But the big question is: what to wear for Memorial Day?
I took a deep dive for fashion inspiration, picking some of my favorite celebrity looks so anyone can recreate their signature styles for the weekend, whether you’re planning a backyard BBQ, a trip to the beach, a glam city brunch or anything in between.
So keep scrolling to see how to shop some Pinterest-worthy styles I love, from Jennifer Aniston’s laid-back California classics to JLo's European summer style, The White Lotus star Natasha Rothwell’s playful prints and Meghan Markle’s quiet luxury.
Meghan Markle's all white look

During a visit to Colombia, Meghan showed how an all-white look can still make a major statement. She teamed her Argent top and a white linen maxi skirt from Posse (both sold out) with a boater hat from Hannia Char and handmade earrings by jeweler Maria E Esquivia. Perfect.
Jennifer Lopez's dress & raffia accessories

She loves Reformation and House of CB, and I’ve spotted her wearing pretty fit-and-flare summer dresses for years. And on Mother's Day 2025 she rocked her $278 Reformation 'Tagliatelle' dress (it's still available in white or denim) with a $6,000 Dior bag and matching Dior hat. Her figure-flattering pink gingham dress is sold out, but I found a good dupe from one of her fave brands.
Jennifer Aniston's California casuals
The Morning Show star’s relaxed, minimalist style is so iconic - she’s comfortable but polished (especially her glossy hair) and seems most comfortable in some well worn in jeans, a tank top and flip flops. The key to Jen's looks? High-quality basics. I only shop my tanks at Uniqlo - you can’t beat the Japanese brand for quality, affordable basics, and cropped jeans and the Friends stars trusty Havaiianas flip flops complete the look.
Natasha Rothwell's polka dots & sneakers

I love her fun prints and comfortable styles, they always make a statement. Polka dot dresses are trending this season, and Natasha Rothwell has shown us all a fun way to style this $248 Reformation 'Naira' dress, which is also available up to size 24. The adidas in monochrome are the perfect touch.
Sarah Jessica Parker

Kristen Bell's 2-piece set
