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.
Kelly Clarkson is swapping her go-to denim maxi skirts for a winter-ready look that I’m so excited to start pulling out.
In a recent Instagram post from The Kelly Clarkson Show, the host and singer smiled alongside Today Show host Al Roker in a leather skirt. She wore it with a casual graphic T-shirt layered beneath a fleece jacket and tall black boots.
Cindy Crawford and Kate Beckinsale are just some of the stars we’ve spotted wearing leather styles recently. Clarkson’s leather skirt is an elegant swap for jeans, making it a stylish choice for upcoming holiday parties. Plus, you can wear it with sweaters, blouses, T-shirts, and more to dress it up or down.
Clarkson’s latest outfit has staple pieces that you can mix-and-match all fall and winter long. Keep scrolling to find similar styles from Amazon, Nordstrom, Madewell, and more starting at $28.

The Drop Larissa Vegan Leather Maxi Skirt
For those looking to copy Clarkon’s style, you can get a similar vegan leather skirt at Amazon. The skirt comes in a maxi length that keeps your legs covered, and you can wear tights beneath for added warmth like the singer did. Because leather can feel stiff, I like how it has a front slit to enhance breathability. It comes in black, brown, and gray.
Yanekop Oversized Fleece Jacket
With temperatures starting to take a dip, now’s a good time to start stocking up on outerwear, and it doesn’t get much cozier than a fleece jacket — this option costs just $46. It has an oversized silhouette that makes it easy to layer over sweaters, T-shirts, and long-sleeve tops, a hood to protect your head from the elements, and two roomy side pockets.
Wetkiss Pointed-Toe Tall Boots, $59 with coupon
Like Clarkson, Taylor Swift has also worn black boots with a skirt, proving that this stylish combo is a trend to tap into this fall. You can get a pair of tall boots that resemble Clarkson’s for $59 at Amazon using an onsite coupon. They have a pointed toe that gives them an elegant look, plus a block heel to provide lift and support.
“The quality of these boots is fantastic, and they are actually comfortable,” one reviewer noted.
