March 2019 | ISSUE 51
It doesn’t need to be International Wom-
en’s Day for celebrities (or anyone for that
matter) to wear an empowering shirt. Stars
like Jennifer Lopez, Vanessa Hudgens and
Karlie Kloss do it all the time, pairing their
female-forward, positive messaging with
ensembles that range from sweats and mom
jeans to tailored blazers and fur coats. But
in honor of the March 8 celebration, we
rounded up the celebrity-inspired outfits
that couldn’t make their statement any more
obvious.
For the last few seasons, designers and
brands, from Christian Dior to Re/Done,
have injected the graphics-heavy messag-
ing into their collections. To close out his
fall 2017 runway show, Prabal Gurung sent
models including Bella Hadid, Joan Smalls
and plus-size model Candice Huffine down
the runway in a silk
dress or sparkling
gown with graphic
shirts on top; the
shirts all featured
pro-woman, pro-di-
versity graphics.
But you needn’t a
celebrity bankroll
to take part in what
hopefully isn’t a
short-lived trend.
Fast-fashion re-
tailers like Forever
21 and H&M have
produced their fair
share of empow-
ering clothes, too.
Sometimes, however,
with the purchase of
select designer duds,
a portion is often
donated to a charity
or nonprofit funding
children or women’s
advancement pro-
grams.
