Martha Stewart, Kate Middleton, and More Stars Are Giving Fall Basics a Colorful Refresh — Try Similar Hues
Fall basics usually lean neutral, but this season five stars are showing how a single rich color can change the whole look. Jennifer Lopez is wearing chocolate brown, Taylor Swift is wearing olive green, Kate Middleton is wearing royal purple, Martha Stewart is wearing burgundy, and Keri Russell is wearing plaid, and the looks below follow each color with Amazon lookalikes in the same hues, from knits and maxi dresses to cozy matching sets.

Celebrity-Inspired Fall Colors
- Jennifer Lopez in Chocolate Brown — Grace Karin Fleece Jacket
- Taylor Swift in Olive Green — Zolucky Corduroy Shacket
- Kate Middleton in Royal Purple — Auselily Long-Sleeve Maxi Dress
- Martha Stewart in Burgundy — Casly Lamiit Oversized Lounge Set
- Keri Russell in Plaid — Zeagoo Cropped Flannel Shacket
The celebrity looks themselves set the palette. Lopez wore a belted chocolate brown dress with a glamorous fur wrap at Paris Fashion Week. Swift wore an olive green Saint Laurent top for date night. Kate wore a flowing royal purple gown to the London premiere of Digger last month. Stewart wore a burgundy matching set presented as comfortable but polished. Russell wore a classic plaid jacket paired with cuffed jeans, identified in the source as a Barbour jacket.
One ordering note, kept exactly as in the source: the summary list above pairs Swift with the Zolucky Corduroy Shacket, while the featured olive green section that follows the chocolate brown group is the Btftm Ruffle Mock Neck Top, and the Zolucky shacket appears first under the olive green Shop More picks. Both pairings are kept as printed, not resolved into one.
Chocolate Brown
Grace Karin Fleece Jacket
The chocolate brown pick is a teddy-style fleece jacket, cut oversized so there is room for a sweater underneath without bulk, with a fully lined interior for warmth. It reads as the everyday version of Lopez’s runway-style look, in the same rich brown, rather than a copy of the occasion dress itself.
