Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Martha Stewart, and Oprah Winfrey are all styling sweaters and button-down shirts in totally different ways this season — and recreating their looks doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
From Oprah’s bold striped sweater moment to Martha’s subtly festive holiday sweater picks and Gwyneth’s understated gray sweater aesthetic, each outfit is surprisingly easy to copy for less. With affordable finds starting at just $8 — including crisp white button-down shirts, classic knits, and polished layers — you can bring their signature style into your own closet without the celebrity price tag.

Oprah’s love of effortless, elevated basics makes a striped sweater a no-brainer — and this Amazon lookalike delivers the same cozy polish for less. The bold stripes add just enough statement without overwhelming the look, while the slouchy fit gives it a relaxed, Oprah-approved ease. It’s an easy throw-on piece that instantly pulls any off-duty outfit together.

Styling Tip:
If you want Oprah’s layered look without a full second layer, swap the full button-down for a detachable faux collar — many cost under $10. You’ll get the same crisp, polished neckline while keeping your outfit lightweight and budget-friendly.

Martha Stewart has been leaning into subtly sparkly knits that feel festive without going full glam, and this Amazon dupe captures the same elevated shimmer for far less. The soft, lightweight fabric adds a hint of shine that works for daytime errands or evening outings, while the relaxed silhouette keeps it comfortable. It’s an easy, holiday-ready layer that looks glamorous straight out of the box.

Styling Tip:
A sparkly sweater already brings the glamour, so balance it with simple, polished pieces. Pair it with clean denim for daytime or elevate it with tailored bottoms for evening. Keep accessories minimal to let the shimmer stand out.
