Cher Lloyd always keeps her outfits looking fresh by mixing in pieces that are unexpected. Her black monochrome Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Core Hi sneakers ($45.00) are an odd choice for two reasons: first because a dressier outfit like this would normally be paired with heels or flats rather than sneakers and second because they are so dark compared to her otherwise springy outfit. But ultimately it keeps the outfit looking young, which is great because Cher is only 18 years old!

Cher’s blazer and skirt are both from Urban Outfitters. Her orangey red Silence & Noise Nexus Blazer ($69.00) has an interesting cutout detail in the back. She’s wearing it over a basic white tank top and the off-white Staring at Stars Crochet Mini Skirt ($49.00).

At her recent concert in Chile, Demi Lovato wore the Pucca Backless Tux Jacket ($655.00) from Unconditional with some jewels added to the lapel. Getting Demi’s rock star look doesn’t require such an expensive piece – you can pick up a cheap pink blazer from Forever 21 here, here, or here, and add some studs yourself. Wear it with pleather pants like the Tripp NYC Deville ($62.00) and a t-shirt from your favorite rock band – Demi’s is a Poison tee.

Demi is wearing her Lita Spike Ankle Boots by Jeffrey Campbell, which retail for around $195.00 at Urban Outfitters, SoleStruck, Lori’s Shoes, or Jildor. Though cheaper than her jacket these shoes are still a bit pricey, but luckily there are some alternatives available. If you like the spiked heel you can get a similar look a a wedge for $78.00 or $92.99; or $53.40 if you don’t mind having a different color. If you like the shape of the Lita boots there are a number of alternatives on the market in the $20-$50 range: here, here, here, here, here, here, and many more.
