In a bid to discover more about the fashion-conscious females in the UK, “MyCelebrityFashion” looked into site statistics and polled 1,452 women aged between 18 and 30 to discover the top 10 most copied celebrities, in terms of style, that influence them the most.
Two thirds, 68%, of the women admitted to copying a celebrity’s style, in one way or another, in the past. When asked “Why do you copy the style of a celebrity?” 23% stated that they just want to look like them, whilst 14% copied female stars to achieve the ‘trendiest’ looks. 8% claimed to do so because they thought that if something looked good on a celebrity, it would look good on them.
19% said they would even buy something they originally didn’t like, after seeing it on a celebrity, and would trust the celebrity’s fashion taste rather than their own.
On top of clothes, a tenth of the respondents said that they had also based a previous haircut on the style of a celebrity’s, whilst 17% copied make-up styles to help them achieve the celebrity look.
The Top 10 most copied celebrity styles, according to the most popular search results are:
1. Cheryl Cole
2. Rihanna
3. Kate Middleton
4. Natalie Portman
5. Jenifer Aniston
6. Victoria Beckham
7. Sarah Jessica Parker
8. Audrina Patridge
9. Lea Michele
10. Angelina Jolie
In comparison to 2008, only 3 of the top 10 remain in the list.

Speaking about these latest findings, Andy Barr, Marketing Director of “MyCelebrityFashion” commented:
“We always like to keep track of which celebrity is being searched for the most on the site, but it was really interesting to see how the most recent top ten compares to a couple of years ago.”
He continued:
“Cheryl Cole is evidently still the favourite with fashion conscious females of today, but it’s good to see some other faces in there too like Lea Michele and Natalie Portman.”
