✨ Celebrity-Inspired Fashion for Busy Mums (and a 10-Minute Morning Routine That Works)

Let’s be honest mums are basically the ultimate multitaskers. Between school drop-offs, work meetings, and snack refills, it’s easy for your own style to slip to the bottom of the list. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look (and feel) amazing.

The secret? Taking cues from effortlessly stylish celebs and combining that with a quick, no-fuss routine you can actually stick to.

1. Steal Their Signature Style

Celebrities like Jennifer Garner, Blake Lively, Victoria Beckham, and Meghan Markle have mastered the art of looking put-together in minimal time. Here’s how to adapt their style for real mum life:

• The Jennifer Garner Approach → Classic jeans, a good tee, and comfy sneakers. Perfect for errands but still stylish.

• The Blake Lively Trick → Statement jackets over simple basics. Throw on a trench or a blazer and you instantly look like you tried.

• The Meghan Markle Minimalism → Stick to a neutral palette and high-quality basics. It makes mixing and matching effortless.

• The Victoria Beckham Power Move → Oversized sunnies and structured handbags hide all signs of chaos.
