From Sabrina Carpenter and Post Malone to Charli XCX and Chappell Roan, the annual Song of the Summer debate is heating up for 2024. But one thing that’s not up for debate? How surprisingly stylish Walmart’s new summer collection is.

While the site has always been a place to stock up on basics, we were surprised at just how many celebrity-inspired looks we were able to pull after spending just a few minutes on Walmart.com. Whether you are in search of chic shorts, trendy tops or party heels, you’ll capture the essence of pop-star outfits at an affordable price. From dresses to shorts to shoes, Walmart offers a wide range of stylish essentials to elevate your summer wardrobe, adding a touch of pop-star inspiration to your looks.

Shop trendy outfits from top brands such as Jessica Simpson, No Boundaries, Dokotoo, Levi’s, Dream Paris, Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara and Free Assembly. Just like the Songs of the Summer, these will be your go-tos for the months ahead, ready to put you in a good mood and deliver good vibes.

Casual Girl Band Era

Prepare to take on the summer heat with these lightweight Free Assembly Pull-On Shorts, which totally channel indie girl-group vibes. With their distinctive flap pockets, pull-on styling and comfortable elastic waistband, they’re easy to wear to festivals and beach days alike, and the fit is super flattering for all body types.

For a look that’s cool and comfortable, try these Free Assembly Mid-Rise Pull-On Cargo Pants. Their pull-on styling and elastic waistband with drawstring tie make them a must-have summer item (you don’t be stuck clinging to these pants if it gets sweaty). Whether you’re lounging by the pool or taking a stroll in the park, you can’t go wrong with cropped cargos, which top our style charts this summer and deserve a place in your closet. 

Shimmer through your summer nights with these celebrity-inspired Dream Paris Ankle Toe Heel Pumps. These luxe-looking heels can be paired with a sleek dress or tailored pants to add lift and glamour to your look. With the adjustable thick straps and rubber sole, you’ll stay supported and have a good grip – even if you’re towering above the crowd. Everyone needs a glittery pair of pumps in their rotation and this Walmart find is an easy way to combine comfort and fashion. 

No bag has made the kind of impact on social media (and on our style radar) like this Coach Pillow Tabby Shoulder Bag. Truly perfect for any occasion, this cute purse features a detachable strap, an interior slip pocket and a magnetic snap closure. You can even wear it as a crossbody pouch and free up your hands. But what we really love is its distinctive shape, which can be glammed up or down depending on how you wear it – and what you pair it with. Our suggestion: Go full awards show by pairing the bag with a sleek dress and heels, or go casual with a simple tee, baggy jeans and baseball cap.

Few pop stars have crossed over into the fashion space quite like Jessica Simpson and the “With You” singer continues to set trends with her latest Walmart collection. Step into your own enchanting era with this long Jessica Simpson Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress. This versatile dress works for any occasion, from running errands to a summer beach day. It features a buttoned front top and a one-of-a-kind floral print that’s at once vintage and modern looking. We can picture this dress on everyone from country stars to dream-pop divas. If this is out of stock, you might want to consider this Jessica Simpson Flare Cap Sleeve Dress alternative, and it’s only $32.

Whether you’re in a summer romance or seeking one, you’ll love this dress, which is sure to make heads turn. This No Boundaries Babydoll Dress comes in four different colors: Black, Lavender, Pink and Green. It’s available in many sizes too, from XS to XXXL, proving that just like good looks, love comes in all shapes and sizes. If this is out of stock, you might want to consider this No Boundaries Surplice Tiered Dress, another great alternative for the summer.

Add a fresh twist to your wardrobe with this eye-catching Dokotoo Mini Swing Dress. This loose Bohemian dress tops our chart this year as a summer must-have, thanks to its flirty fit, flattering silhouette and unique detailing (think the oversized bow and the cuffed sleeves). You can get it in white, pink, purple or sky blue. 

If you’re obsessed with platforms, you’ll want to consider these Dream Paris celebrity-inspired heels. This is a perfect way to kick off your summer parties in style and a black heel is a staple piece that belongs in every wardrobe. While summer trends come and go, think of these shoes like a signature song that will never go out of style.

Reveal a little ankle with these Sofia High-Rise Frey Hem Jeans. With the unique flared bottoms and cut-off hems, the jeans add instant style to your look, no matter what you wear on top. While we often have fun with our T-shirts and tanks, one of the best ways to express some individuality this summer is with your bottoms, and these jeans are an easy way to do it. Get a pair in white and blue — or be like us and get both.

For those looking for cute summer tops, consider this Sofia Jeans Ruffle Sleeve Top. You can pair this top with any pair of jeans or dress of your choice for a girly yet put-together look. From indie singers to Latin stars, this is a top that crosses genres and styles.

Change up your style with this star-approved Sofia Jeans Ribbed Haltered Top. Everyone from top models to A-list singers have been spotted in this style, which is a more elevated take on a basic tank. With its ribbed knit body, halter neck and pull-on style, you’ll be ready to take on the summer heat. You can get it in Dark Chocolate and Red. 

Saddle up this summer with these Western-inspired high-waisted shorts. If you don’t already own a pair of denim shorts, you’ll want to add these to your cart. The shorts are made from 100% cotton, with a high-rise, and feature a zip-fly with button closure. 

Snag this one-of-a-kind fashion piece for just $2.49! (Yes, really!) With this Free Assembly Long Sleeve Shirt, you’ll be able to recreate a relaxed, celeb-loved style for a night out (think minimalist and super comfortable, without looking too casual).

Change up your summer dress collection and add this No Boundaries Tube Dress to your closet. You can get it in Black, Red, Blue, or Green. We love the unique hem line and the chic print, which works for both daytime affairs and parties into the night. If this is out of stock, you might want to consider this No Boundaries Tube Mini Dress, another great alternative.
