If you were to look into our shopping writer brains, you’d probably find a list of current sales, products worth buying, and a whole lot of intel on celebrities and their favorite brands. Honestly, it’s useful information that we can whip out at times like this.
What time is it, you ask? It’s time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which runs for the next few weeks until Sunday, August 3. And yes, dozens of celebrity-used, celebrity-worn, and celebrity-owned brands are on major sale.
Below, shop Spanx, Free People, and more brands approved by the likes of Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Lopez, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Celebrity-Inspired Deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Some of the best brands on sale with celebrities’ seal of approval are Spanx and BaubleBar. Spanx makes these wide-leg pants that are one-half of Oprah’s “favorite” set, while BaubleBar has gorgeous and affordable jewelry that everyone from Khloé Kardashian to Jennifer Garner has worn. Meanwhile, Free People clothing is something that Jennifer Lopez has stepped out in at least five times, per the brand.
After the initial investment, Le Creuset cookware is “an item that’s in your house for the rest of your life,” according to Sarah Jessica Parker, so we’re snapping this Dutch oven while it’s $124 off. Nordstrom also has popular beauty exclusives during its Anniversary Sale, like this Westman Atelier kit that comes with $122 worth of products. It’s a brand Martha Stewart once kept in her makeup bag.
Spanx AirEssentials Wide-Leg Pants
Oprah was onto something when she said wearing these pants “feels like a hug.” Major selling points for these throw-on-and-go bottoms include the stretchy drawstring waistline and a contoured rear design. Customers agree the pants are lightweight and versatile enough to wear during travel, to lunch, and on errands.
Celebrity-Worn Clothing Brands at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
In addition to Spanx clothing, celebrities like Garner and Kylie Jenner are fans of its bras, and this one is under $50 and wearable for exercise. It’d probably even work under this Farm Rio dress that Eva Mendes is inspiring us to try.
Meanwhile, Mandy Moore was just seen in a vibrant Lands’ End swimsuit that was so bright and fun for summer. But since it’s a little late in the season for a new swimmie, we’re eyeing this warm, waterproof coat for fall days. Levi’s jeans, as Beyoncé so effortlessly modeled, are also looking pretty good now that they’re 30 percent off.
Spanx FlexFeel Low Impact Sports Bra
You probably know Spanx for its shapewear, but did you know that there are ultra-comfortable sports bras as well? This one is ideal for low-impact workouts like yoga and has wide straps that offer extra support for larger busts. Plus, you can wear the seamless design outside of athletic situations, like under blouses and dresses at work.
Levi’s 501 ’90s Straight-Leg Jeans
If there’s any way to channel Beyoncé’s unparalleled aura and beauty, we’re going to try it. Step one: Purchase a pair of jeans similar to the ones she wore in her Levi’s campaign. Next, wear the straight-leg, dark-wash pants with a white T-shirt, embellished belt, and pointed-toe boots. Lastly, throw on some Cowboy Carter tour TikToks.
Celebrity-Worn Shoe Brands at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Nordstrom’s shoe department has everything your feet need, whether it’s pair of work-friendly shoes or Jennifer Aniston’s comfortable New Balance sneakers. Franco Sarto, a Katie Holmes-worn brand, has an attractive slingback in a shiny cherry-red hue. Fall shoes like Hunter rain boots, as seen on Meghan Markle and her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, are up for the taking, as are Brooks running shoes and Sorel sneakers.
Hunter Original Tall Rain Boot
Whether you’re dodging puddles on a rainy day or tending to your garden (like Markle often does), these boots are endlessly useful. In addition to a waterproof exterior, the boots have a grippy outer sole and adjustable buckle on the 16-inch calf shaft. We also adore the trendy espresso-hued color of this particular variation.
Brooks Ghost Max 2 Running Shoe
Whether she’s running errands or half-marathons, it’s usually a safe bet to say that Jennifer Garner is wearing a pair of Brooks. Needless to say, she’s inspired us to track down a pair for ourselves. This style is covered in a breathable knit material that offers ample foot ventilation and stability via impact-absorbing cushions in the footbed. If you’re not a fan of the black and pink colors, you can opt for the lavender or light blue versions instead.
Celebrity-Used Beauty Brands at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Hilary Duff uses hair products from R+Co, so it’s time we start — and it’s going to be with this jumbo-sized shampoo bottle that should last awhile. We’re already on the Ilia Beauty train, as are Chrissy Teigen and Jessica Alba, but it never hurts to stock up on travel-friendly minis. Moroccanoil (Demi Moore), Virtue (Jennifer Garner), and U Beauty (Michelle Monaghan) also have some pretty-looking deals.
Supergoop! Invisible Icons SPF Set
Sunscreen is also always restock-worthy, and this time, we’re following Jenna Bush Hager’s recommendations. The one she uses comes in this two-piece kit with a stick version so you get multiple forms of sun protection in one purchase. It’s one of the many sunscreens we’ve personally tested, so we can confirm it’s completely transparent — no white cast!
Solawave Wrinkle Retreat Light Therapy Face Mask
Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, and more stars are using red light therapy to their skin’s benefit, so why aren’t you? With a mask like this, the only thing you need to do is strap it on and watch your skin glow up — literally. I’ve been using this device on and off since January and have seen improvements with my own eyes. It’s not another gimmick!
Celebrity-Worn Accessory Brands at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Accessories allow you to put your own personal stamp on an outfit. Case in point: This snakeskin belt from B-Low the Belt — a brand Kate Hudson recently wore on stage — will add a little edge to a look, while these cat-eye sunglasses from one of Jenna Bush Hager’s go-tos exude glamour. And don’t forget about bags! You could opt for a woven style like Jennifer Lawrence or something more like this tote bag from JW Pei, which Selena Gomez is familiar with.
Madewell The Mini Suede Shopper Tote
If Katie Holmes is happy to carry a Madewell bag, so are we. This mini tote is not quite big enough for a water bottle, but it is a crossbody bag, so our hands will be free to carry one anyways. It also has a beautiful suede finish that we can’t wait to wear as soon as the weather gets a little colder.
BaubleBar Aria Pisa Set of 3 Bracelets
We can only presume that Khloé Kardashian’s closet is something magnificent to behold. An item in there that might surprise you? A pair of statement earrings from BaubleBar. Although that eye-catching accessory isn’t available on Nordstrom right now, it led us to find this three-pack of gold stretchy bracelets that attract just as much attention courtesy of the cubic zirconia-covered beads.
Celebrity-Owned Brands at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
When a celebrity owns a brand, it’s pretty safe to assume that they wear it, too. Take Khloé Kardashian, for example, who’s posed in her denim brand, Good American, before. Savage X Fenty by Rihanna is another example, and one that has deep discounts on everyday undergarments now. Finally, Béis, a luggage brand designed by Shay Mitchell, is one we’ve personally put to the test in many different ways.
Good American Soft-Tech Good Standard Kick Flare Jeans
Size-inclusive, fashionable jeans are the speciality of Kardashian’s denim brand. Of the many styles stocked at Nordstrom, this pair caught our attention for its kick flare design and raw-hem detailing. Even though the material has a sculpting effect, you can breathe, eat, and move however you’d like thanks to its ample stretchiness.
