Kim Kardashian's leather jacket, Harry Styles' tan boots and Helen Mirren's floral dress: The thriftiest celebrities rewearing their favourite fashion pieces revealed
- The Duchess of Cambridge has become known for her thrifty style, often wearing the same outfit for more than one public engagement
- But Kate is not the only VIP who likes to rewear their favourite looks
- Femail takes a look at who they are and what they are rewearing
While the Duchess of Cambridge currently holds the crown for being the thriftiest fashionista, she’s not the only VIP recycling her clothes.
Celebrities might seem rich enough to buy new clothes all the time, but just like us they seemingly love getting their money’s worth - especially when it comes to wardrobe staples.
Kim Kardashian, Harry Styles, Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, Kendall Jenner, Beyoncé, Queen Letizia, Abbey Clancy and Lauren Pope are amongst the thriftiest A-listers that have been spotted wearing the same garments time and time again.
Here, FEMAIL takes a look at the pieces they can’t get enough of...

KIM KARDASHIAN
First up alongside the Duchess of Cambridge is Kim Kardashian. We’ve caught glimpses of her (fairly sizeable) walk-in wardrobe on KUWTK, she has her own clothing line in collaboration with her sisters, and fashion designer hubby Kanye to boot. So it’s not like Kimmy K is short of clothes, yet she’s often spotted wearing the same items time and again.
From a Balenciaga peplum top to her favourite Hermes lace-up heels, the mother-of-one is an expert when it comes to reworking key pieces in her wardrobe to make new outfits.

February 2015, taking time out from New York Fashion Week, Kim heads to the gym wearing her BLK DNM jacket over her workout gear
But it appears this BLK DNM leather jacket must be her all-time favourite. Kim was first spotted rocking this biker back in 2013, just a few months after giving birth to North.
Since then, she’s been snapped in it on various occasions, wearing it with everything from jeans to sportswear.
Kim loves this jacket so much that she even had one customised after she married Kanye, with the couple appearing in a photo wearing matching leather bikers emblazoned 'Just Married'.

HARRY STYLES
These boots may have set him back £620, but if we’re talking about price per wear, Harry Styles’ Saint Laurent boots are pretty good value.
Being a regular on the FROW and romantically linked to several models in the past, the One Directioner is no stranger to the fashion world. But when it comes to personal style, he likes getting his money’s worth.
We first spotted Harry rocking these tan suede ankle boots back at the beginning of 2013, and they’ve since been around the globe with him on two world tours.
Harry has been pictured in his beloved boots in London, LA, Sydney and Japan over the years. A versatile piece, the 1D star wears his Saint Laurent boots to do everything from shopping in discount stores to dining in fancy restaurants.

February 2015, Harry is spotted once again in his favourite boots at Sydney airport.
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY
Keira Knightley is no stranger to recycling her clothes, spotted last month wearing her bespoke Michael Van Der Ham floral dress to lunch just a few days after wearing it to the BAFTAs.
But when it comes to investment pieces, this Burberry autumn/ winter 2009 shearling coat must be Keira’s favourite.
Keira confessed to Elle magazine that her mum had originally talked her out of spending thousands on the coat. But after she spent months thinking about it, she relented and made the purchase.
Fast-forward six years and Keira is still rocking her cosy coat - even through her pregnancy.

HELEN MIRREN
Certain celebs, including the Duchess of Cambridge, have been known to wear the same dress to more than one red carpet event.
But Helen Mirren took things to the next level by recycling this Dolce & Gabbana floral frock, not once, not twice, but five times.
Helen was first spotted in this dress back in December 2012 when she wore it with a black caped coat to the Hitchcock premiere.
Swapping the coat for a jacket, Helen recycled the outfit for the Empire Film Awards in March 2013, and was then spotted in the same dress just two days later at the Princes Trust Celebrate Success Awards.
She then wore it twice more, for the RHS Chelsea Flower show in May 2013 and most recently for the Roundabout Theatre Company tribute to Sam Mendes in March 2014.
Helen shows that with the help of a few accessories you can create various looks with just one dress.

KENDALL JENNER
For reality TV star turned model, Kendall Jenner, the world is a catwalk.
When she’s not modelling up a storm on the runway, she’s pounding the pavement showcasing her personal style.
But just like her elder sister, Kim, Kendall likes being frugal when it comes to fashion. From her beloved Givenchy handbag, to her trusty Saint Laurent leather jacket, Kendall is a pro when it comes to maximising a capsule wardrobe.
Out of all her key pieces, it is these Balenciaga leather leggings that must be a favourite. She has been spotted in them on countless occasions over the past two years, and wears them for everything from running errands to sitting FROW at Fashion Week.

Beyonce’s style is all about combining luxe designer pieces with high street bargains. She might be worth millions, but she still likes a trip to Topshop.
One of her investment pieces has got to be this black fedora hat that she has been spotted wearing on more than one occasion.
Designed by Parisian milliner Maison Michel, this hat would have cost Beyoncé around £350 but she’s definitely getting her money’s worth if we’re counting price-per-wear.
Whether she’s watching basketball with Jay Z or out shopping with friends, this is Beyoncé’s go-to accessory of choice.
From left to right: April 2012, Beyoncé teams her fedora with a black top, leopard print trousers and neon shoes to watch the Nicks in New York with Jay Z.

QUEEN LETIZIA
She’s often pipped against our own reigning fashionista, The Duchess of Cambridge, in the style stakes, and it looks like Queen Letizia of Spain is after the crown for being the thriftiest too!
Much like Kate, Letizia is often spotted wearing the same look on more than one occasion. But she’s taking things to a whole new level with these Magrit nude suede court shoes, which she has been seen wearing on over a dozen public engagements since 2012.
Here’s a roundup of her wearing them over the years.
Queen Letizia was first spotted wearing her Magrit shoes in her official 2012 portrait with husband King Felipe
From left to right: Queen Letizia was seen wearing a similar outfit with the same shoes at an awards ceremony in Madrid in 2013. June 2014, Queen Letizia attends an inauguration of a museum in Madrid in a cream suit, complete with her Magrit shoes

ABBEY CLANCY
Since the New Year, Abbey Clancy has barely been seen without this fur-trim Burberry puffer coat, which was possibly a Christmas present.
From running errands with her daughter Sophia, to going on a Valentine’s date with husband Peter Crouch, Abbey’s trusty quilted jacket has been keeping her (and her burgeoning bump) cosy and warm for the past few months.
Despite being six months pregnant, Abbey’s coat is not maternity-specific. It’s instead part of the Burberry Brit line.
Spotted adorning the feet of some of the most well-heeled fashionistas, including Karlie Kloss, Lily Aldridge and Miranda Kerr, these Stuart Weitzman 'Highland boots' have become the it-boots of the season.
Left: Abbey wore her quilted coat teamed with a Louis Vuitton shoulder bag and knee-high boots for a shopping trip in London in February. Right: Out on a date with hubby Peter in the same month, Abbey donned an all black ensemble wearing her trusty coat with leggings and high-heeled ankle boots

Keeping things casual, Abbey picks up her daughter after a spa day wearing her Burberry coat with leggings and trainers, also in January
LAUREN POPE
At £595 a pop, we’re not surprised that Lauren Pope wants to get the maximum wear out of her grey pair, donning them at every possible occasion.
Showing how versatile these thigh-high boots really are, Lauren wears hers with everything from jeans to an angel costume.
Left: February 2015, Lauren heads to film TOWIE wearing a denim dress, her grey suede boots and a matching coat. Right: March 2015, Lauren’s spotted once again rocking her Stuart Weitzman booties teamed with a white mini dress, suede jacket and gold tote bag
