10 Gen Z Celeb Outfit Ideas 2026

I’m a Gen Zer and I work in the fashion industry. This combination typically results in your IG save folder being overflowing with chronically referenced pop culture online, niche ’90s archival fashion, and the latest Gen Z celebrity outfit ideas. I am saving the latter in hopes of reproducing it someday.

In my opinion, the best Gen Z outfits straddle the line between effortless and intentional. Relaxed, ripped jeans are casual, but should be strategically paired with a tight-fitting white T-shirt. The layers should look cohesive and chaotic. Do you wear a studded belt over your sweater? Yes, please. Don’t miss the funky use of tights.

Gen Z trends for 2026 will use silky silhouettes and interesting textures to stand out. I consulted my archives and fellow Gen Z fashion editors to find Gen Z celebrities who accurately represent our generation’s style. Iris Law, Laufey, Pink Pantress, Alex Consani, Lily Rose Depp to name a few. Quietly influential, these Gen Z-favorite artists are inadvertently cool. Think quirky color combinations, contrasting prints, vintage references, and a blind belief that their audience is made up of fashion insiders who “get it.” Scroll down to see the Gen Z celebrity outfits you’re saving to wear in 2026.

10 Cool Gen Z Celebrity Outfit Ideas to Recreate in 2026

iris lowe

“For me, Iris Lowe is my personal Gen Z style icon. Watching her layer all of her clothes, especially sweaters, accessories, skirts, and jeans, really makes me think about how intentional an outfit can be. Each piece works together to create a new, cohesive look that could never be styled together otherwise. It’s very Gen Z and feels like a lot of things are happening at once, but that’s what I see as the beauty of it!” – Ana Escalante Associate feature editor

If so Alex Consani throws, “Fit, you better believe I’m sitting.” Dressed in an oversized sweater, sheer lace midi skirt, moto boots, and a shoulder bag during last winter’s New York fall/winter season, Consani offers an effortless, modern model-like off-duty look.

Laufey

I won’t lie, it’s hard to choose just one thing. Laufey looks that way because (understandably) the Icelandic singer-songwriter has an unparalleled level of style. From her red carpet looks (I still remember her mermaid-inspired Miu Miu look at the 2026 Grammys) to casual everyday looks like the one above, Laufey is definitely one to watch in Gen Z fashion.

It’s impossible to talk about Gen Z fashion without talking about it. Emma Chamberlain. A founding member of the community, Chamberlain is, dare I say it, constantly competing to surpass his last appearance. This office siren and all black ensemble might just be my favorite.
