They can buy and borrow from the most exclusive labels and the most expensive designer names, and are given more clothes than they know what to do with - but which fashion items do celebrities really love? From the perfect pair of jeans to the hottest bikini and the most popular flip-flops in Hollywood, the A-list reveal their summer wardrobe essentials. By Charlotte Sanders
1 JESSICA BIEL'S BEADS
Proof that celebrity jewellery is not always about the bling, the actresses Jessica Biel, Mandy Moore and Marcia Cross have been spotted sporting colourful beads from Relief Beads - a grassroots campaign selling handmade African bracelets to raise awareness and money for Relief International's humanitarian efforts in Darfur.

2 KATE MOSS'S SUNGLASSES
The retro Ray-Ban Wayfarer was given a new lease of life last year thanks to the likes of Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst, who made vintage pairs an essential part of any hipster wardrobe, and prompted the company to re-release the style. Their appeal is spreading: Kate Moss, Naomi Watts and Sarah Harding have all been spotted sporting a pair - in pristine white - this spring. Ray-Ban Wayfarers in white £120 (www.ray-ban.com)
3 NAOMI WATTS'S HANDBAG
So many It-Bags, so little time. no wonder celebrities are seldom seen with the same bag twice. But Anya Hindmarch's Cooper Bag breaks the rules; Naomi Watts has rarely been seen recently without the roomy, pale-leather tote on her arm. Anya Hindmarch Cooper Bag £675 (anyahindmarch.com)
4 CHLOE SEVIGNY'S WIDE-LEGGED JEANS
The stranglehold of skinny jeans over stylish legs finally looks set to break this summer as trendsetters turn to a new shape: 'I like a high waist with a wide leg,' says the actress Chloë Sevigny. 'J Brand makes great jeans without too much embellishment.' Cameron Diaz and Penélope Cruz too are turning J Brand's Doll jeans into the hottest style of the summer.

5 CHRISTINA RICCI'S SUMMER DRESS
Every girl needs a great summer dress. and, as Christina Ricci is no stranger to high fashion, it's no wonder her must-have frock of the season nails the summer's biggest trend, flowery prints: 'My favourite item for spring is this minidress by Etro. I love the floral print.' Etro dress £1,080 (020 7495 5767)
6 LIV TYLER'S CASHMERE JUMPER
When Liv Tyler, Catherine Deneuve and Isabelle Huppert want the highest quality cashmere, they seek out the Italian label Malo, which does beautiful cashmere pieces in simple, elegant styles as well as cool, crisp tailoring and dresses. www.malo.it
7 ANGELINA JOLIE'S TRENCH COAT
Known for her flawless, understated chic, Angelina Jolie likes the classic items that fill her wardrobe to be special. The impeccable bespoke black trench she often wears comes from the Italian label Loro Piana. Loro Piana trench coat from £885 (020 7499 9300; loropiana.com)
8 LAURA BAILEY'S WEDGES
For chic, guilt-free footwear, no one does it better than Stella McCartney. ' I love Stella McCartney's braided t-bar sandals,' the model Laura Bailey explains. 'As a vegetarian I love that they're leather-free. Style-wise, I think they're glam but low-key and beachy enough to wear every day on holiday.' Stella McCartney crochet sandal wedges £575 (stellamccartney.com)
9 NATALIE PORTMAN'S TRAINERS
For red-carpet moments she favours Rodarte or Lanvin, but off-duty Natalie Portman prefers a low-key style. 'Sneakers are my mainstay,' the star has said. Like Scarlett Johansson and Gemma Ward, she relies on classic Chuck Taylors and jeans when out and about in New York. Converse Chuck Taylor All Star £34.99, from office.co.uk
10 MARY-KATE OLSEN'S T-SHIRT
Both the Olsen moppets - to say nothing of Nicole Richie and the Hiltons - are devoted to American Apparel's affordable, colourful cotton pieces, but Mary-Kate sports its sweat-shop-free Ts most frequently, whether about town over leggings or paired with a floor-sweeping Azzedine Alaïa skirt for the red carpet. American Apparel unisex deep V-neck T-shirt £12 (americanapparel.net)
