While Kate Bosworth is known for her talents on screen, it's her offscreen expertise as a red carpet beauty, street-chic queen, and jewelry maven that has us under a major style spell. With a mix of affordably priced items, her own shoe line, and a variety of polished designer duds, Kate has proven her undeniable knack for putting together laid-back, impossibly cool ensembles with enviable ease. Case in point: her cutoffs and American flag tee at Coachella a few years ago incited a near-overnight fashion craze and a siege of street style copycats. We could go on and on about how she gets it so right, but we'd rather just see her envy-inducing outfits for ourselves. Scroll through to get a healthy dose of inspiration from this newly 34-year-old now.
