Caslon Cable Knit Crew Neck Pullover Inspired by Blake Lively

Buy at Nordstrom $69

The chunky knit sweater Lively wore featured a funnel neck — a looser turtleneck look that adds extra warmth without being too restrictive. This sweater from Caslon is a real buy if you’re looking for something similar. Available in sizes XXS to XXL and in four colors, including beige like Gossip girl alum’s, the pullover is richly textured, knitted from a soft cotton yarn, and finished with turn-up cuffs and a roomy collar.

Customers call this style “soft as butter” and “warm, woolly and lovely”. If you’re looking for an exaggerated, oversized fit, we suggest you buy a size up.

Katie Holmes inspired Kirundo V-neck knit sweater

Buy on Amazon $43 $37

We don’t know the brand behind Holmes’ three-quarter button-up sweater, but this style from Kirund on Amazon gives the same stylish touch as the boy’s for $37. It’s made from a “soft, comfortable fabric” that “looks more expensive than it is,” according to one customer. The pullover has buttons that are functional, so the V-neck can be worn open or closed, depending on the look. Reviewers also say the material is “good quality” and “soft and non-itchy.” One person even said, “It looks like it’s hand knitted.”

Buy at Luckybrand.com $90 $54

This option from Lucky Brand looks best on Adele’s classic white knit sweater. It’s available in the same cream color the singer wore on the court and features a similar crew neck design, with ribbed detailing on the collar, cuffs and hem. According to one reviewer, this sweater is “super soft” and static-free, making it a good buy. Luckily, the pullover is also 40 percent off, sweetening the deal.

A knitted sweater will be a staple in your wardrobe for years to come. Keep scrolling to browse more star-inspired styles and add one (or two!) to your collection this winter.
