Capsule Wardrobe: Kate Bosworth Fancies Red Lips, Ankle Boots, and a Good Blouse
Welcome to our first Capsule Wardrobe, a new feature that explores — and shops out — the style of some of our favorite fashion personalities. First up: Kate Bosworth. The actress, who first gained mainstream recognition for her role as a sun-kissed surfer in Blue Crush, has built a cult following devoted to her every sartorial move over the years, appearing on the covers of Vogue, W, and Harper’s Bazaar; along the way, she’s also earned all-star status on countless style blogs. Seamlessly mixing high and low, Kate pairs Isabel Marant with Topshop or Chloé with ASOS, creating wearable outfits that could easily be recreated with existing items in most wardrobes. She never plays it too bright or loud, opting instead to make a statement by mixing textures, layering masterfully, and finishing things off with simple yet impossibly fun to look at accessories (and often a red lip). Click through for tons of fashion and beauty options to if you’d like to add a bit of Bosworth to your life.

A bit California surfer girl and a bit French gamine, Bosworth’s choices in tops range from printed silk tees to sleek Equipment blouses. Never one to shy away from denim-on-denim, chambray shirts are paired casually with shorts and skinny jeans. The color palette is generally muted — pops of blue, red, and green are usually found in prints that are tempered with neutrals. And occasionally, to add a bit of edge, a sharply structured leather also makes it into the rotation.

With her love of cool patterned tops, a minimal bottom is key. Skinny jeans, torn cut-offs, and cuffed trousers are all staples in Bosworth's wardrobe. Rather than jumping on trends like pajama pants or midi skirts, she focuses on workhorse pieces that get reworn time and time again.

By choosing dresses that hit at the knee or higher, Bosworth adds inches to her petite frame. For day, she often does a print and usually goes for a breezy cut, often styled with her signature ankle boots and a crossbody bag. For premieres and other fancy events, she favors sexy sheath dresses over elaborate organza gowns, which would swallow her up.

Being that she spends the majority of her time in Los Angeles, Bosworth rarely requires heavy jackets, choosing slouchy knits in a variety of neutral tones or a nubby tweed jacket when it gets chilly. But when work calls for a trip to colder climates, a tough biker jacket thrown casually over an outfit offers just enough warmth and adds to the cool-girl factor.

Ankle boots are the foundation of nearly every look Bosworth wears. Suede Isabel Marant Dickers are a favorite, as are Chloé Susannas — but when the weather warms up, a simple pair of seventies-inspired wedges work equally as well with sundresses. And when the occasion calls for something fancier, spiky stiletto pumps or sandals without adornment are the perfect complement to red-carpet-worthy dresses.

Bosworth’s beauty look is always fresh. She basically looks like she’s just rolled off the set of Blue Crush (her complexion still looks that youthful and subtly sun-kissed), brushed her hair, and popped on a red lip. She’s got that California-girl thing going to the utmost. We imagine she’s the kind of girl who’s tried some things out and kept around what works, for a simple, effective, and trusted routine.
