Grece Ghanem is the Lebanese-Canadian creator and model with the silver bob, the oversize sunglasses and a shoe collection that never plays it safe. She worked as a microbiologist and then a personal trainer before she started posting her outfits on Instagram as a hobby, and that account grew into a following of millions. When I study her looks as a stylist, what I notice first isn't the neon or the sequins. It's how carefully she controls proportion, so even the loudest outfit has a clear shape. Below are 20 of her head-to-toe looks, with notes on what makes each one work and how I'd adapt it for an ordinary week.
Rebuilding Her Looks From Your Own Closet
Most of Grece's outfits rest on three habits, and none of them need designer labels. When I translate a celebrity look for someone, I ignore the brand names and copy the structure instead.
- One volume at a time. A wide trouser gets a cropped or fitted top; a big coat gets a slim dress. Before you leave the house, check that only one half of your body is loose.
- Color that appears twice. Notice how a bag picks up a stripe or the shoes repeat a skirt shade. Pull a color from your top and repeat it in your bag or shoes, and the outfit reads as planned.
- One plain piece to rest the eye. Even her loudest looks have a solid turtleneck, a black clutch or a neutral bag somewhere. Keep at least one quiet item in every outfit.
- Sunglasses as part of the outfit. She chooses frames to match a color in the clothes. A pair of colored frames is a cheap way to try her approach before you buy anything bold.
Lay a candidate outfit on the bed and run through those four points. If one fails, swap a single piece rather than starting again.
1. Grece Ghanem Crop Top and Wide Leg Pants Outfit
Short over wide is the oldest proportion trick I know, and Grece leans on it constantly. Here she wears a relaxed cropped red hoodie with high-waist jeans and blue Loewe sunglasses on a Copenhagen street. The hoodie has to end at or just above the waistband; if it stops two inches lower, the legs lose length and the whole thing looks sloppy. White sneakers or flat leather slides keep it casual, and a structured shoulder bag stops the outfit drifting into gym wear. If you run short in the torso, I'd pick a hoodie with a ribbed hem that sits right on the waist rather than a raw cropped edge.
2. Grece Ghanem Checked Capri Pants Outfit
Capris divide people, and I understand why: the wrong length cuts the leg at its widest point. Grece shows how capri-length pants can look sharp when the rest of the outfit is planned around them. Her checked pair sits just above the ankle, and a long tailored coat creates a strong vertical line over the top. Pointed-toe pumps add height and draw the eye past the hem. I'd keep the top plain, a fitted tee or fine knit, so the check stays the only pattern. A structured top-handle bag and dark sunglasses finish it.
3. Grece Ghanem Turtleneck and Embellished Denim Jacket Outfit
This one is pure layering. Grece puts a rhinestone-studded denim jacket with purple fluffy oversized sleeves over a dark navy turtleneck, then adds a blue wave-printed midi skirt. The turtleneck matters more than it seems: a dark, close neckline gives all that texture a calm frame to sit against. Black ankle boots anchor the skirt, and blue sunglasses with a quilted leather bag repeat the blues. If you want to try it, check that the jacket sleeves don't swallow your hands. Push them up once so the wrist shows, otherwise volume at the sleeve reads as an ill-fitting jacket rather than a choice.
4. Grece Ghanem Leather Jacket and Cowboy Boots Outfit
Tonal brown is one of my favorite ways to make leather look relaxed rather than severe. Grece pairs brown pants with a matching brown leather jacket, a blue sweater underneath and brown cowboy ankle boots, plus a Chanel bag and Loewe blue-frame sunglasses. The blue knit breaks up all that leather right at the face, which keeps the outfit from looking like a uniform. Cowboy boots in the same brown family stop the Western note from turning into costume. One practical warning: leather pants and a leather jacket together can trap heat, so this suits a cool fall day better than a warm afternoon indoors.
5. Grece Ghanem Layered Top and Maroon Skirt Outfit
Maroon and blue isn't a pairing most people would try, and it surprised me how fresh it looks. Grece tucks a white and blue layered top into a deep maroon midi skirt, then adds red floral heels and a blue Hermès bag. The heels carry the skirt's warmth down to the floor, and the bag answers the blue in the top, so each color shows up twice. That repetition is what makes a bold palette look deliberate. I'd wear it to a gallery opening or a spring brunch. On a fuller figure, keep the tuck neat and choose a skirt with a flat front so the waist stays defined.
6. Grece Ghanem Green Leather Matching Set Outfit
Head-to-toe green leather could easily look stiff, and Grece breaks it up on purpose during Copenhagen Fashion Week. Orange leather gloves give a sharp contrast at the hands, and a pink bag plus an army green beanie pull the set back toward street clothes. The beanie is the smart move here. It's casual, cheap-looking in the best way, and it tells people you aren't taking the leather too seriously. A matching set in a heavy fabric needs room at the knee and elbow, so if you size up anywhere, size up there. Wear it when you want to be noticed the moment you walk in.
7. Grece Ghanem Zebra Print Top and Cargo Pants Outfit
Pattern and utility pieces mixed together. Grece tucks a white and black zebra print top into army green cargo pants, adds colorful paneled sneakers and carries a yellow-and-pink bag. Dark sunglasses keep her face calm against all that. Cargo pants already have a lot going on at the thigh because of the pockets, so I'd always tuck the top fully or half-tuck it at the front; a loose print hanging over cargo pockets adds bulk exactly where most people don't want it. If you're new to mixing prints, a graphic black and white print against a solid olive is about the gentlest place to begin.
8. Grece Ghanem Striped Top and Long Brown Skirt Outfit
Graphic stripes in white, black and red sit against a long brown column skirt, and the narrow vertical line makes the body look longer. Grece picks up the red in the stripes with a red Chanel bag and keeps her feet simple in sandals or heeled mules. A column skirt only works if the fabric has some weight; thin jersey clings and shows every line underneath, while a heavier knit or crepe swings as you walk. I check that first before I worry about anything else. It's an easy outfit for dinner with friends or a slow afternoon in the city.
9. Grece Ghanem Knitted Maxi Dress and Fur Coat Outfit
Grece pairs a light mint fur coat with a knitted pale purple maxi dress and purple shoes. Mint and lilac are close in depth, so they read as one soft palette rather than a clash. The dress follows the body, and that slim base is what lets a fluffy coat look luxurious instead of bulky. My rule with a big textured coat is to keep everything under it smooth and close. A chunky knit or a full skirt underneath doubles the volume, and the outfit stops having a shape. Save it for cold evenings and winter events.
10. Grece Ghanem Sequin Maxi Dress Outfit
A light purple long-sleeve sequin maxi dress catches light from every angle, and Grece adds a dark pink Fendi sequin bag on top of it. Brown sunglasses and gold earrings warm the cool purple, so the outfit doesn't go icy. The long sleeves are what make full-length sequins look grown-up; bare arms with this much shine can tip into costume. Before you buy a sequin dress, sit down in it and rub the inside of your arm along the sleeve. Cheap sequins scratch at the underarm and catch on knit bags. This is for evening parties and any night that calls for real sparkle.
11. Grece Ghanem Green Maxi Dress with Pastel Accessories Outfit
A green long-sleeve maxi dress with a subtle keyhole cutout works as a plain base for pastel accessories. Grece wears lavender Bottega Veneta mules and carries a pastel yellow Bottega bag. Strong green next to soft pastels is the kind of contrast I like: the dress gives the outfit weight, and the accessories keep it light. A keyhole sits right at the collarbone, so I'd skip a necklace entirely and let the opening do that job. It suits spring garden parties and daytime presentations.
12. Grece Ghanem Cropped Hoodie and Jeans Outfit
This is the hoodie formula again, with a cropped red Celine hoodie over blue jeans. Grece repeats the denim blue in her Loewe sunglasses and adds a clean shoulder bag with sleek sneakers or flat sandals. The cropped hem shows a sliver of skin at the waist. If that isn't for you, a fitted tank in the same red underneath gives the same short-top proportion without the bare midriff. I'd wear it for travel days or weekend errands, when comfort matters but you still want the outfit to look chosen.
13. Grece Ghanem Neon Red Sweater and Romper Outfit
Neon red from shoulder to hip takes nerve, and Grece wears it like it's nothing. She layers a neon red ribbed oversized sweater over a matching tank-top romper, then adds neon green sport sunglasses and multicolored patterned sneakers. A white studded Balenciaga bag gives the eye somewhere to rest. Neon is hard on many skin tones near the face, so the trick is a strong lip or bold glasses to compete with it. Wear it to a summer music festival or any day when the outfit's job is to feel joyful.
14. Grece Ghanem Embellished Tunic and Wide Leg Pants Outfit
Silver rhinestones and pink embroidery cover a sleeveless tunic, and Grece wears it with matching wide-leg pants, white sunglasses, silver Chanel earrings and a Bulgari watch. Because the embellishment runs across both pieces, the outfit reads as one long column, and the wide legs keep it comfortable. Heavy beading needs a sturdy base fabric, or it drags the neckline down over an evening. I lift a beaded top by the shoulders before buying it; if the shoulders sag under its own weight, it'll sag on you too. A good pick for celebrations where you'll be standing and moving most of the night.
15. Grece Ghanem All Black Wide Leg Pants and Pumps Outfit
All black can look heavy, and Grece fixes that with shape and shine. Black wide-leg trousers and a crossover-neck top form the base, then a short cropped black jacket, glitter pumps, a silver handbag and two-tone earrings add the interest. The cropped jacket ends at the waist, which keeps the long trouser line clean. With black, I always check fabric match first: a matte jacket next to a slightly shiny trouser looks like two different blacks under bright light. Get that right and the outfit goes from the office to dinner just by swapping the bag.
16. Grece Ghanem Trench Coat and Boyfriend Jeans Outfit
A classic trench over boyfriend jeans and a blue striped shirt is the most practical outfit in this list. Grece belts the trench at the waist, which gives the loose jeans some structure, and adds white sneakers or loafers, oversized sunglasses and a structured tote. Boyfriend jeans need a cuff that hits just above the ankle bone when you wear sneakers; any longer and they pool. I'd tie the belt rather than buckle it, since a tied trench belt looks relaxed and adjusts as you sit. It's just as good for a morning flight as a day of exploring a new city.
17. Grece Ghanem Beige Blazer and Balloon Pants Outfit
A beige blazer with statement sleeves sets up a mix of hard and soft shapes. Grece wears it with blue balloon pants, a silk blouse, turquoise Amina Muaddi heels and a denim-blue Chanel bag. Balloon pants add a lot of volume at the hip and knee, so the structured shoulders of the blazer are doing real work here, balancing the shape from the top. If your hips are your widest point, I'd go for a balloon pant in a fluid fabric that falls instead of standing away from the body. Good for creative offices and fashion events.
18. Grece Ghanem Mustard Yellow Blazer and Silk Dress Outfit
Mustard yellow over a silky printed dress is a warm, cheerful pairing. Grece knots a mint green scarf loosely at the neck and adds white sunglasses and a silver Bottega Veneta bag. Mustard can make some complexions look sallow, which is why the mint scarf near the face is a clever choice: it puts a cooler, fresher color between the blazer and the skin. The silk dress gives movement under a crisp jacket. I'd wear this to a spring wedding, a daytime celebration or a work event with some personality allowed.
19. Grece Ghanem Sheer Floral Dress and Pink Heels Outfit
A sheer floral dress meets hot pink pointed-toe pumps, and the shoes completely change its mood. Grece keeps the rest quiet with a simple black clutch and minimal jewelry, so the embroidery and the pink do all the talking. With sheer dresses, the slip underneath is the decision that matters most. I match the slip to your skin tone rather than the dress color so the embroidery floats, and I check it in daylight before the event. It's a fun pick for bridal showers, summer evenings or any party where a sweet dress needs a bolder edge.
20. Grece Ghanem Utility Romper and Strappy Heels Outfit
An ivory utility romper with rolled sleeves and structured pockets is about as plain as one-pieces get. Grece turns it into an evening look with black-and-white strappy stilettos with gold chain detail, oversized sunglasses and bold earrings. The contrast between a workwear shape and a dressy shoe is what gives it energy. Rompers live or die on torso length, so sit down in one before you commit. If it pulls at the crotch when seated, it's too short in the body and no amount of styling will fix that. Wear it to rooftop drinks or a summer cocktail party.
Wearing Bright Color Next to Gray or Silver Hair
Part of why Grece can wear neon red, mint and lilac is that silver hair acts like a cool, light frame. Gray and white hair usually loves clear, saturated color and struggles with muddy mid-tones such as khaki, mushroom and some camels, which can make the hair look yellowed and the skin dull.
When I color-test someone with silver hair, I hold fabrics under the chin in daylight and watch the hair, not just the face. If the hair suddenly looks brighter and cleaner, the color is right. If it looks dingy, move the color lower on the body: a mustard skirt or camel trouser can still work when there's a cooler or brighter shade at the neckline.
Black can also be harsh against white hair. Navy, charcoal or a deep plum gives the same depth with less contrast, which is why the navy turtleneck in her denim jacket look sits so well.
Statement Heels You Can Actually Stand In
Grece clearly loves a pointed pump and a strappy stiletto. If your feet have changed over the years, and most people's do, you can keep the look and lose some of the pain.
- Try shoes on in the late afternoon, when feet are at their largest.
- Look for a block or kitten heel in the same bold color. The color is what makes the outfit, not the height.
- Check the toe box with your thumb. A pointed shoe should still leave room beyond your longest toe, since the point is meant to extend past the foot.
- Ankle straps need to sit flat. If a strap cuts in when you stand still, it will cut deeper after an hour of walking.
A hot pink kitten heel with the floral dress, or turquoise block heels with the balloon pants, keeps every bit of the spirit of these outfits.
Steal Her Confidence Before You Steal Her Clothes
What Grece's wardrobe teaches me is that style keeps improving when you stop asking permission. She ignores outdated rules about age and dresses for what she enjoys, from checked capris and tailored coats to neon rompers and sequin dresses. You don't need her budget or her shoes to borrow the idea. Start with one look from this list that made you smile, rebuild it from what you own, and wear it twice before you decide whether it's you.
