There’s nothing that gives you hometown pride quite like seeing an Australian brand make its way into the closet of your favourite celebrities. Perhaps once an ‘IYKYK’ local label like St. Agni, or a bedrock of the Australian fashion industry gone global like Christopher Esber, it’s a testament to our unique design lexicon and approach to artistry to see these labels shine on an international stage. The A-listers—with impeccable taste to have chosen Australian fashion luminaries, might we add—might be saturating the streets of Hollywood, but their pieces still call Australia home.
In honour of their big breakouts, we’ve compiled a comprehensive cheat sheet to the celebrity-adored Australian brands making waves on local shores and abroad. Ahead, GRAZIA’s guide to the best Australian brands beloved by celebrities.
Australian Brands Adored By A-Listers
Alessandra Ambrosio in Faithfull The Brand
Victoria’s Secret supermodel, Alessandra Ambrosio, channelled her inner Old Hollywood starlet in between premieres at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. For her balmy ‘Euro Summer’ off-duty look, the Brazilian bombshell wore the Lemondrop Vieste Shirt from Faithfull The Brand. Made from sustainable organic cotton, the slouchy shirt proves that Australian beachwear has no bounds.
Blake Lively in Spell
Blake Lively applied a summer twist to her signature bohemian street style in this floaty dress from SPELL. The Byron Bay-born ethical fashion label is internationally lauded for its carefree silhouettes, romantic prints and effortless shapes. This tiered midi immediately became revered as one of Lively’s best off-duty moments of 2023, with the corset bodice and contrasting gingham-print pockets signalling an unfussy direction for the stylist-free star.
Emma Roberts in Christopher Esber
While promoting her performance in American Horror Story: Delicate, actress Emma Roberts wore a head-to-toe look from Christopher Esber that embodied the title of the series. Sporting the Sonora Veiled Tee in Black and Beaded Ivy Lace Skirt, this juxtaposing textural ensemble perfectly embodies the brand’s injection for Pre-Fall 2024, which explores the pairing of utilitarian codes and modern, sports-inspired fabrics with delicate feminine textures such as fringe and embellished lace.
Hailey Bieber in Christopher Esber
Hailey Bieber is one of the original ‘It’ girls who helped cement Christopher Esber as the go-to label for ‘It girls’. Rather than the slinky cut-out dresses she usually wears, Bieber offered a taste of her boardroom style in the brand’s taupe tailored trench coat.
Bringing the best of both worlds, Bieber also demonstrated why Esber’s figure-hugging silhouettes have become a hallmark in A-listers’ wardrobes by wearing a head-to-toe look from the Resort 2024 collection to ring in the new year in Barbados. The botanical print is rendered into a metal skirt which, when paired with the undone tank top, makes it clear why Esber is the king of skin. Tropical holiday, realness.
Dua Lipa in Christopher Esber
As a self-proclaimed party girl, Dua Lipa’s back-to-back Christopher Esber mini dresses from a recent vacation in Greece confirmed Christopher Esber as a mainstay partywear peddler. We’re unsure of which sun-soaked locale Lipa is heading to next (on her summer tour, of course) but with an array of Esber packed in her luggage, Lipa will be dressed for any occasion.

Margot Robbie in Christopher Esber
Margot Robbie brought a patriotic flair to her sartorial performances during a recent trip to her native Australia. Exclusively wearing Australian brands for the domestic press tour for Babylon, the star delivered a bought of hometown glory in her red carpet and press tour looks. Yet, none more memorable than this head-to-toe Christopher Esber ensemble. The mermaid-style slate skirt and cowl side-draped strapless top is one of her best fashion moments of all time, and, best of all, uniquely Australian: relaxed, adventurous, laid-back and luxurious.
Sofia Richie Grainge in Christopher Esber
Sofia Richie Grainge’s wedding might have been the catalyst for our revived interest in the SoCal socialite, but it was her honeymoon that really cemented her as the poster girl for the ‘Old Money’ aesthetic. For the occasion, the model wore linen trousers by Christopher Esber for her tropical vacation.
Hailey Bieber in CAMILLA + MARC
In Manhattan for a New York minute, Hailey Bieber showcased her nouveau prep personal style by wearing the sand-coloured Simone pant from CAMILLA + MARC. Bieber’s closet has no shortage of Australian brands. For a full inventory of every Australian brand in her wardrobe, click here to see all the local names she’s had on high rotation.
Margot Robbie in CAMILLA + MARC
Margot Robbie certainly isn’t in Barbieland anymore. The actress and producer stepped out in New York in cutting a quietly luxurious figure in a head-to-toe ensemble from CAMILLA + MARC. Styled by Andrew Kumal, Robbie wore the Madero wool blazer and matching wool pants, which are part of the label’s pre-fall ’24 collection titled ‘Wisdom’. The blazer also comes with a detachable khaki-coloured utility belt, which the star decided to forgo for this outing.
Camille Charriere in CAMILLA + MARC
Style influencer Camille Charriere offered a chic and contemporary spin on the polarising ‘dress over pants’ trend popularised in the noughties (and revived by Katie Holmes in 2022). To do so, she looked to the dusty blue Harper Mini Dress from CAMILLA + MARC. The strapless mini, which features an apron-like flap was paired with contrasting slate pants to create dimension.
Emily Ratajkowski in Silk Laundry
Emily Ratajkowski is no stranger to the power of a black silk maxi skirt. But to run errands with her toddler, Sylvester, the model and author looked to Australian brand Silk Laundry. The label originated as an ode to the 90s and the decade’s penchant for silk slips (hello, Kate Moss’ iconic nearly naked dress), but has since grown into a fully-fledged offering of ready-to-wear.
Ratajkowski has been seen wearing the brand on multiple occasions, including this metallic mesh top, which she similarly styled with a leopard maxi skirt and black boots.
Kendall Jenner in One Mile
Continuing her adoration for Australian brands, Jenner looked to a two-piece set from Sydney-based label, One Mile. Founded by beauty content creator Sammy Robinson, Jenner selected a longline strapless top and matching mini skirt—which are fittingly called Benny, like her rumoured boyfriend Bad Bunny—for an 818 Tequila and Sprinter seltzer party in Las Vegas.
Kylie Jenner in Paris Georgia
Though not technically an Australian brand, the sunburnt country’s proximity (and affinity) to New Zealand earns cult-favourite Kiwi womenswear brand Paris Georgia a spot on this list. Jenner wore the Danae Dress from Paris Georgia’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection while on a super yacht on holiday in the Spanish isle of Mallorca. Launched in 2015 by friends Paris Mitchell Temple and Georgia Cherrie, Paris Georgia subverts traditional silhouettes into sculpted shapes and bold colours that have earned the affection of empowered women like Jacinda Ardern, Dua Lipa, Kendall Jenner and friend of the Kardashian-Jenners, Steph Shep. Read our interview with Paris Georgia’s new campaign star, here.
Kylie Jenner in Entire Studios
Proving her penchant for beloved New Zealand brands, Kylie Jenner wore a sheer silk bias slip from Entire Studios during a recent holiday to Turks & Caicos. The draped piece received an oceanfront view of the historic solar eclipse, but it was Jenner’s repeat lionisation for Kiwi designs in her vacation wardrobe that piqued our interest.
Kendall Jenner in St. Agni
No, that isn’t Carrie Bradshaw. That’s Kendall Jenner appearing to step right out of the 90s in a knit mini dress by her favourite Australian brand, St. Agni. The supermodel-turned-super-moguls minimalist era has seen Jenner gravitate towards the Byron Bay-based label’s consciously crafted clean cuts and natural fabrications, making the small-town-turned-big-city St. Agni a name on everyone’s lips.
Case in point: Jenner eschewing flashy festival fashion at Coachella for a streamlined, monochromic outfit featuring St Agni’s raw-hem trousers.
Rosalía in St. Agni
Spanish super nova Rosalía showed off an eclectic style of Saville Row tailoring by pairing a graphic long-sleeve t-shirt with Australian brand St Agni’s sleek low-waist, grey pencil skirt while in Tokyo. The look was immortalised in the music video for her single “Tuya”, which is reported to be about her ex-girlfriend, Hunter Schafer.
Gigi Hadid in St. Agni
Sisterhood of the travelling St. Agni? Gigi Hadid stepped out in Kendall Jenner’s Coachella trousers for an outing in Santa Monica. You can take the piece out of Byron Bay, flaunt it from Palm Springs to Los Angeles’ coastline, but it will still call Australia (and Australian boutiques) home.
Dakota Johnson in St. Agni
Also proving that on-set dressing is the new frontier for celebrity style flexes is Dakota Johnson. The 34-year-old actress was spotted on the streets of Manhattan filming Celine Song’s upcoming sophomore release, Materials. For the off-duty moment, Johnson wore St. Agni’s black ribbed square tank top. With thin straps and metal trim, St. Agni continues to prevail as the ultimate anything-but-basic wardrobe essentials provider.
Meghan Markle in St. Agni
St. Agni is also royalty-approved, with Meghan Markle reaching for the Australian brand on two occasions. The latest came in the form of a white strapless column dress (now available for pre-order!), which the Duchess of Sussex wore during a recent tour to Nigeria.
Markle was first seen wearing the homegrown label in the ritzy Floridian suburb of Palm Beach while attending a gala dinner for Prince Harry’s Sentebale charity. The discreetly luxurious wool dress featured an asymmetrical, apron-like front, a halterneck, an open back and a dramatic side split.
Suki Waterhouse on Emma Mulholland on Holiday
Suki Waterhouse may be known for her impeccable rockstar stage presences and 70s-inspired uniform, but for a recent walk in Manhattan, the multi-hyphenate showcased her softer side in a cut-out heart top from Emma Mulholland on Holiday. Perhaps the first-time mother’s newborn has her in her feelings? Something we’re sure mum-to-be Emma Mulholland can relate to, as well.
Taylor Swift in Dion Lee
It was the flight that stopped netizens in their tracks—but when Taylor Swift stepped out in Las Vegas to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce play at the 57th annual Super Bowl, all eyes weren’t on her long-haul travel outfit, but her Dion Lee corset. We’re long past Victoria Beckham’s WAG-era fashion, but who would’ve thought that it would be Taylor Swift bringing designer style back to the grandstands?
Margot Robbie in With Jéan
Margot Robbie also visited Australia with her husband Tom Ackerley for a trip promoting their new spirits brand, Papa Salt. While frequenting the fine dining restaurant Mimis, Margot ditched Barbiecore dressing for a Cher Horotwitz-inspired look featuring a corset top from With Jéan. The Australian brand originated in Robbie’s home state of Queensland but has since become adored by A-listers around the world.
Dua Lipa in With Jéan
Dua ‘Endless Vacanza‘ Lipa appeared sporting a celebrity-adored Australian brand while vacationing on a super yacht of the coast of Capri. The singer was in the Bay of Naples isle for Jacquemus’ 15th-anniversary collection presentation, hosted at the cinematic Villa Malaparte residence featured in Jean-Luc Godard’s seminal French New-Wave drama, Contempt.
Sofia Richie Grainge in SIR
Later, in her local Los Angeles, Richie Grainge offered a more maximalist take on her refined personal style, looking to an art-deco printed two-set piece from SIR. Standing for sets, intimates and ready-to-wear, SIR has perfected the art of wardrobe essentials with a uniquely Australian flair.
Sydney Sweeney wearing Oroton
After relocating to Australia to film her recent rom-com Anyone But You, Sydney Sweeney must have picked up a few style cues from the locals as she was seen wearing accessories and ready-to-wear label Oroton upon her return to Los Angeles. How does the saying go? “When in Sydney, do as the Sydney-siders do, especially if your name is Sydney!
Selena Gomez in Rebecca Vallance
Rebecca Vallance is a glitzy Australian label going from strength to strength. After the Australian brand made its Cannes Film Festival debut, with the eponymous founder walking the red carpet alongside Nicky Hilton, her designs were spotted on the streets of New York on none other than ‘Best Actress’ winner Selena Gomez.
Taylor Swift in Meshki
Given that Australian crowds gave Taylor Swift the biggest crowds she’s ever performed to in her career during the Melbourne and Sydney shows of her Eras Tour, it was only fitting the songstress returned the favour and showed her love for Australian brands. To do so, she wore a bandeau corset top from Meshki in a photo shoot for her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. This is one anthology we’d love to see continue.
Dua Lipa in Bec + Bridge
Celebrating her 26th lap around the sun, British pop star Dua Lipa wore a silver link charm necklace from Bec + Bridge. The piece marked the label’s, which recently celebrated its 23rd anniversary at Australian Fashion Week , first foray into jewellery. The aquatic silver pendant motifs fit perfectly into Lipa’s tropical island raver aesthetic as she hosted an all-night party on the balmy Balearic island of Ibiza to ring in her next year.
Kaia Gerber in Bec + Bridge
Kaia Gerber has made Bec + Bridge’s trench coat an indispensable part of her supermodel off-duty uniform. Here, she can be seen strolling through Nice’s airport on her way to the Cannes Film Festival. As you may have guessed, Gerber’s in-air miles have proven she’s the ultimate source of travel outfit inspiration. Ahead of your next trip away, head here for a complete breakdown of her on-the-go style.
Jessica Chastain in Zimmermann
Since the 90s, the esteemed Australian resort wear label Zimmermann has set the tone for down under design on the world stage. Here, actress Jessica Chastain offers a glimpse at their comprehensive ready-to-wear offering (and expert tailoring) in a three-piece crimson suit. The brand has recently introduced denim into its core collections, and with a seasonal presentation at Paris Fashion Week, the sister-founded brand shows no sign of slowing down.
