Selena Gomez and Sofia Richie have both taken different paths to fame, but have both been surrounded by it for the majority of their lives. Selena Gomez got her start as a child actress and started to become more famous when she snagged roles on the Disney channel. Today, she's an icon with millions and millions of Instagram followers who is trying to make it in the music industry as well. Sofia Richie grew up the daughter of a famous musician, and the little sister of a socialite turned hot mess turned fashion icon, Nicole Richie, and it's only in the past little while that she's been making her mark as a model.

However, one thing is for sure — both Gomez and Richie are known for their street style. It's easy to rock a fabulous look on the red carpet when you have an entire team working to make sure you look amazing, but it's the celebs who are consistently stylish in their off time that truly impress us. Gomez and Richie have slightly different styles — Selena's is a bit more feminine, while Sofia's is more on the athleisure side — but they both look consistently amazing when they're captured by the paparazzi.

The question is — who has better street style, Selena Gomez or Sofia Richie? Let's check out a few amazing outfits to find out.

16 Selena rocking an amazing rocker chic look

For a long time, Selena Gomez had a bit of a sweeter than pie image. After all, in comparison to many of her fellow Disney stars, she wasn't causing any scandals or acting out in public. So, with her youthful features and fairly innocent style, she was largely looked over. However, that's been changing lately — and we couldn't be happier. In this shot, Gomez is rocking some amazing black leather boots, black skinnies, a faded, slightly oversized graphic tee knotted at her waist, and a shearling coat half-on. She's channeling a major rock star vibe — especially when you add in the tousled hair and bold red lip — and we totally love it. She doesn't always look this dressed down, so it's a refreshing change of pace to see her in this kind of ensemble.

15 Sofia with her own graphic tee-inspired look

There are some starlets who are almost never seen without heels to shape their legs and elevate their outfit — but Sofia Richie isn't one of those starlets. She's most often spotted in athletic shoes, which we kind of love — why not introduce a little comfort into your style? In this outfit, she pairs her sneakers with an oversized Harley Davidson tee, tucked into her waistband to define her waist a bit, and a casual mini skirt. This outfit is fun, it's youthful, and thanks to her sunglasses, it has a bit of a retro vibe that totally works. It just goes to prove that you truly define your own style — while big sis Nicole has a retro bohemian style, Sofia's sense of style is totally different, because she knows what she likes and what works for her body.

14 Selena in a rockstar airport look that we are living for

Celebrities at the airport are kind of all over the place. Some just shrug and decide that they want to be comfortable on their flight, even if that means the paparazzi will snap a shot of them in sweatpants with no make-up. Others are prepping to be at an event almost right when they step off the plane, so they're full glam. Selena falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum in this outfit. Her loose pants and crop top seem like they'd be somewhat comfortable, but the pointy-toed boots and leather jacket give it a definite rocker chic vibe that we are living for. She's got sunglasses to avoid the paparazzi, and the whole look is so amazing we kind of can't even handle it. I mean, she looks phenomenal.

13 Sofia proving that all black is always a chic look

Sometimes, you see an outfit and think that surely the pieces shouldn't work together, but somehow it just does — this is one of those outfits. Wide-legged, tie-waist sweatpants, a slightly cropped faded tee, a beanie and sunglasses seems like a strange outfit, particularly when paired with sandals, but somehow Sofia Richie channels a super cool vibe here. She seems like the type of girl who wears what she wants and doesn't care what anyone else thinks, which is kind of fabulous. And, let's be honest — that outfit manages to look cool while also likely being insanely comfortable. It's kind of like wearing super stylish pajamas all day, which sounds like absolute heaven. You wouldn't catch big sis Nicole dead in anything like this, but on Sofia, it totally works.

12 A more boho look for Selena with an oversized knit sweater that we totally covet

One of the things we love most about Selena Gomez' style is how varied it is — she always keeps us guessing about what kind of a look she'll rock next. Sometimes she's sleek and chic; sometimes she's more casual; and other times she rocks a bit of a boho vibe, like in this look. If paired with a different kind of top or coat, the black leather booties and black skinny jeans could skew towards the rocker end of the spectrum. However, with a loose, fringe-accented tank and cozy, oversized knit sweater, the look is a lot more bohemian and casual — and she looks fantastic. Also, can we just say that we covet that sweater for all seasons? It looks insanely soft and cozy and like you'd just be wrapping yourself in a dream.

11 Sofia having a major moment in this incredible leopard print coat

Okay, for starters, the first layer of this outfit is pretty amazing just on its own — the super wide-legged, high-waisted pants, white blouse, slicked back low bun and hoop earrings is so chic. However, Sofia took it to an entirely different level by topping the outfit with a leopard print coat that's mid-calf length. Not only does it add a punch of print and personality to her otherwise neutral look, it also makes a huge style statement. You can't exactly ignore someone who swooshes in wearing a leopard print coat, and perhaps that's exactly what Sofia is counting on. It takes a certain kind of woman to rock a coat like that, and she is certainly rocking it — I mean, she may as well be on a runway rather than a sidewalk in this shot.

10 Selena looking like a complete #girlboss in her blazer and bun combo

Selena Gomez plays around with her look quite a bit, but when it comes to her hair, she does predominantly wear it down. I mean, if you had gorgeous raven locks like that, wouldn't you? However, it makes it a nice change of page when she decides to mix it up and rock a top knot, like she's doing here. She's rocking some worn boyfriend jeans and a plain black tee, but with the addition of the black pumps and crisp black blazer, it makes the look a whole lot more business chic. It's easy to forget that she's not just a starlet, but a businesswoman trying to constantly expand her empire — and this is the perfect chic yet funky outfit to do it in. Plus, a red lip is always a good idea.

9 Sofia proving that you can elevate even the simplest looks

Sometimes, it just takes one or two pieces or accessories to transform a boring outfit into one that serves up street style — this outfit is the perfect example of that. Denim shorts and a black cropped tee are pretty boring, as far as outfits go. However, Sofia paired the basic outfit with some sassy loafers, a long coat/cardigan, a delicate choker necklace and some retro round sunglasses. Individually, all the pieces are fairly neutral and unassuming — but combine them and it's an entirely different story. She looks phenomenal here in this casual outfit for running errands in style — and it proves that it's not just athleisure street style that she excels at; sometimes, she can serve up a chic look that has no athletic vibe to it at all.

8 Selena in a denim and sports bra look that is giving us major Kardashian vibes

If you didn't see her face, you'd think this was a paparazzi shot of one of the Kardashian/Jenner sisters, because Selena is definitely channeling them in this outfit — in a good way. From the sports bra to the strappy sandals, the high-waisted denim pants and long denim jacket, this is a look that has a ton of elements — but it all just works. It's definitely a different side of Selena — while she has a lot of different looks, she doesn't tend to be too out there when it comes to her fashion choices. We love when she opts to step outside the box a little bit and just really go for it — with her gorgeous face and petite physique, she can pull off literally everything, so why not take advantage of that?

7 Sofia accessorizing a tracksuit in the best possible way

With her street style, Sofia Richie continues to prove that she just really loves athletic-influenced clothing. While she can definitely get full glam if needed for a big event, in her everyday life, she prefers to pick outfits that are more casual, cozy, and athleisure-inspired, but with a few of her own twists to give them some personality. Just take this ensemble, for example. She's rocking a matching red tracksuit and white sneakers, which seems like it could look majorly dorky and retro in a bad way. However, she then tops it with a plaid coat, beanie, and a gorgeous bag. It just shows how much fashion is about attitude — on the wrong person, this outfit could still be a disaster, but on Sofia, she totally rocks it and makes it seem like sassy perfection.

6 Selena rocking a trendy overall and crop top combo and proving she looks phenomenal in literally anything

As we've said before, one of the reasons that Selena Gomez is able to play around with her style so much is that she has the type of physique where literally everything looks good on her. She doesn't need to play to her body type quite as much as curvy celebs or celebs who are super svelte and boyish — she's right in the middle, and her clothing looks fantastic on her always. This outfit has the potential to look absolutely horrendous — a crop top, slightly baggy overalls, and a pair of white slip-on shoes. Especially if you opt to rock it with the overalls half-off — you could look unchic and slovenly at the same time. However, Selena somehow manages to look like she's just stepped off the runway — it just all works.

5 Sofia with her own take on the overalls trend

While Selena's take on overalls is a bit more feminine, with pieces that showcase her curves, Sofia offers a more androgynous take on the trend. Her overalls are far more traditional, coming up higher on her chest and covering her body completely rather than rocking some strategically distressed holes and spots for skin to peek through. And, instead of pairing them with something that at least shows off her curves a bit up top, she's paired them with an athletic long-sleeved shirt that's a looser fit. The velvet loafers add a touch of personality to the outfit. While this ensemble may not work on a lot of people, something about Sofia's attitude just lets her pull them off — she rocks street style simply because she rocks her own style, rather than trying to emulate someone else.

4 Selena stepping out looking totally red carpet ready

There's a reason all black outfits continue to remain chic, and a reason why many celebrities still opt to rock black on the red carpet rather than an attention-grabbing bright colour. It's because there's just something about the colour that is chic, elegant, and totally transformative. While the right colour can look phenomenal on the right person, black looks fantastic on literally everyone — as this outfit proves. Selena's paired a black crop top with an asymmetrical skirts and strappy sandals, and she looks absolutely red carpet ready. The crop top shows off just enough of her toned abs to be a little steamy, and while the skirt is about mid-calf length, far longer than many starlets go, it also has a daring slit that reveals a whole lot of thigh on one side. Amazing.

3 Sofia absolutely rocking it at Paris Fashion Week with darker hair

Sofia Richie usually favours a more athletic style when she's just out running errands or hanging out with friends, but she's fashion-savvy enough to know that when you turn up at Paris Fashion Week, you have to present yourself a certain way. And man, has she ever nailed it. She's rocking some gorgeous stiletto booties, a fantastic striped dress with an unexpected slit up the front, and a larger than life white shearling coat. The pulled back hair helps to showcase the outfit, and the whole thing is just amazing. No wonder her modelling career has been picking up steam lately — she definitely looks like she could be an off duty model just killing time between shows she's strutting her stuff down the runway in. So chic. There are many sides to Sofia's street style that we don't always see on a daily basis, and this proves it.

2 Selena looking insanely chic in a classic black jumpsuit

Okay, we need a moment here, because Selena looks like she's strutted straight off the runway — this look is unbelievably chic, and so simple. First of all, the black jumpsuit is literally perfect for her — loose enough to give off that effortless vibe, but the rolled-up sleeves and hem, and tie at the waist, shows off her delicate physique. Then, the simple black strappy sandals and sunglasses, which both just add to the chic yet effortless vibe of the outfit. I mean, even the pose she's got going on — she's just walking out, but with that hand placed just perfectly in her pocket, she looks like she's in an ad campaign. Honestly, we're surprised more brands haven't tapped her to become the face of their brand — she knows how to rock her outfits.

1 Sofia in a more athleisure-inspired all black ensemble

When Sofia Richie does an all black ensemble, she does it very differently. For this outfit, she's paired a fairly plain black top with some gorgeous open-toed black booties and a pair of phenomenal pants that look like sweatpants but are crafted from a more shiny, luxe fabric. She's accessorized with a simple pair of sunnies and a few bracelets on each arm, and the whole looks just works. We have a feeling that as she enters her 20s, she'll move a bit further from the athletic-inspired vibe she's currently rocking and gravitate more towards outfits like this — still a bit athletic and androgynous rather than super feminine, but unbelievably chic nonetheless. Hey, you've got to know what works for you and what you feel your best in if you want to have major street style.
