Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Pamela Anderson just proved that sometimes the simplest looks make the biggest impact. Debuting a dramatic hair transformation in Paris, the supermodel's all-black outfit showed how pared-down basics can make fall dressing easy.
Anderson's practical look included staples that can help you create endless outfit inspiration this season, making them worthwhile to stock up on. Her black turtleneck is a simple outfit starter that keeps you warm and is easy to layer under cardigans or fall jackets. And her black pants, which had a slim silhouette, are a comfy and polished style you can wear from your desk to dinner. Recreate her everyday look with similar styles at Amazon, Quince, and Gap starting at $23.
A warm turtleneck becomes a fall essential as temperatures drop. It's an easy foundation piece to build outfits around, and the cozy knit keeps your neck protected so you can skip the scarf. This Amazon option mirrors the slim fit of Anderson's top, offering a more polished look than an oversized sweater -- especially when styled with tailored black pants or a sleek skirt. Plus, it's going for just $23 today.
Anderson isn't the only star embracing slim-fitted pants: We've previously spotted Meghan Markle wearing a pair, too. The sleek silhouette of these Spanx pants is a good in-between for those who aren't a fan of baggy or wide-leg options, and because they skim the ankles, you'll be able to show off your fall boots. The ponte fabric offers four-way stretch and built-in compression, and the pants come in three different seam lengths (tall, regular, and petite), as well as in sizes XS through 3XL.
The double knit fabric of these ponte pants have built-in wrinkle resistance, making them a practical travel companion to bring on vacations or work trips. The elastic waistband stretches to move with you, and the pants come with faux buttons to make slipping them on a breeze. "These are the only pants I'm wearing these days," one Quince reviewer wrote, calling them "comfy" and professional-looking.
The verdict is in: Pamela Anderson showed us how fall style can be effortless and look sophisticated with just a few minimalist staples.
