Martha Stewart Wore a Flattering Blouse, Get Lookalikes from $15

Can someone please let Martha Stewart know she’s become my unofficial style guru?

Over the past year, the entertaining expert’s wardrobe has received no shortage of heart eyes from me — her gold sandals, leopard print bag, and crochet sweater are just a few examples. But Stewart’s latest outfit made me do an actual double take; at an event celebrating her year-long collaboration with Maman in New York City, she wore a beige blouse with a V-neckline, long sleeves, and the pièce de résistance: a knot-front, cinched waist. She finished the look with white skinny jeans, a black clutch, and her go-to strappy platform sandals.

As a petite and curvy woman, I’m frequently on the lookout for tops to simultaneously accentuate and flatter my shape. Stewart’s breezy blouse is just the ticket, thanks to the tunic-like silhouette and gathered detailing. It’s a shape she’s worn before, and she’s not alone, since Reese Witherspoon, Kate Middleton, and Kate Hudson have all opted for cinched-waist tops and dresses, too.

If you love Stewart’s flattering top as much as I do, now’s your chance to get the look. I rounded up similar waist-cinching blouses on Amazon, starting at just $15.

Waist-Cinching Blouses Inspired by Martha Stewart

Jasambac V-Neck Top with Shirred Peplum Waist

With a V-neckline, long sleeves, and a gathered waist, this beige top is similar to Stewart’s. Choose from five additional colors and sizes S–XXL.

Falechay Chiffon Lace Tunic with Peplum

Tonal jacquard details and lace trim lend visual interest to this wispy chiffon blouse with a gathered, fit-and-flare silhouette. One reviewer, who received the top for free, said it “can be paired with so many things, including shorts, capris, a skirt, dress slacks, or even jeans.”

Blooming Jelly Ruffled Blouse with Smocked Waist

This top is floaty, airy, and flattering, thanks to short flutter sleeves, soft chiffon, and smocked waist panels. In addition to beige like Stewart wore, it comes in nine colors like turquoise, pink, and olive green, plus sizes S–XXL.

Grace Karin Eyelet Wrap Top with Peplum

I’m currently on a mission to add as much butter yellow to my summer wardrobe as possible, so this top with a Stewart-approved wrap waist is definitely making its way into my closet. The trendy eyelet pattern is accented with short flutter sleeves.

Cicibird Chiffon Button-Down Blouse with Ties

A ruched waist with an adjustable belt blends flair and function in this floaty blouse. It comes in a variety of colors and fabrics, including solid chiffon, floral prints, polka dots, Swiss-dot embroidery, and eyelet. 

Bmjl Short-Sleeve Blouse with Smocked Back

This top checks off two Stewart-approved style boxes: a cinched waist and army green. The fun details don’t stop there, either, since it also has an asymmetrical square neckline, puff sleeves, and pretty pleating.

Remidoo Asymmetrical Twist-Front Top

If you love the twisted and gathered detailing on Stewart’s top as much as I do, this tunic-like tee with a knotted front is a close second. It’s finished with short dolman sleeves and a longer silhouette that hits right at the thighs on most people.
