Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
If there’s one year-round staple I generally steer clear of in the heat of summer, it’s pants. But Andie MacDowell is inspiring me to give the silhouette a try this season with her breezy trousers.
While in Paris for the Cannes Film Festival, the actress was spotted looking effortlessly elegant in a pair of wide-leg pants, which Martha Stewart, Nicole Kidman, and more stars have all been wearing lately. She styled them with a romantic puff-sleeve blouse and comfy-looking loafers.
I’ve been looking for a comfortable shoe to wear instead of white sneakers, and loafers seem like the perfect option, especially in a fun metallic shade. And a puff-sleeve top is so stylish and versatile — you can wear it with skirts, trousers, and jeans.
MacDowell’s Paris uniform of wide-leg pants, loafers, and a puff-sleeve blouse has mix-and-match potential to streamline any closet. I’m going to be stocking up on some of these lookalikes that you can get at Amazon for as little as $20.

Hooever Wide-Leg Pants
With summer weather cranking up, you’ll want to have a pair of pants that are breathable, and one shopper called these trousers “light and airy.” They have a wide-leg silhouette that enhances airflow to your legs. I like that they have a high-waist with belt loops to accessorize, so you can dress them up or down. You can get them in seven hues for summer, including apricot, white, and teal.
Tankaneo Puff-Sleeve Blouse
MacDowell isn’t the only star who likes to wear puff-sleeves — Reese Witherspoon and Chrissy Teigen also wear the style at this time of year. This top has short puffy sleeves, which I would wear any time I want slightly more coverage of my shoulders than what a tank top offers. It comes with a button-up design and a pointed collar for a preppy vibe. In the past month alone, more than 100 Amazon shoppers have added it to their carts.
Obtaom Pointy Toe Loafers
You can get a pair of metallic loafers that look like MacDowell’s at Amazon, like these Obtoam loafers that are on sale for $20 with a coupon. These have a pointed-toe to make them elegant, and the inside is made with memory foam for added support. I always worry about wearing closed shoes in the summer, but one shopper wrote that these “don’t trap a lot of heat or moisture,” adding that they’re “sturdy enough to wear all day.”
I’m reframing my relationship with summer pants after seeing Andie MacDowell’s breezy trousers. If you also plan to copy her Paris look, keep reading for more simple swaps at Amazon.
