Breaking up is hard to do...but looking good afterwards isn't for these leading ladies.

If you've broken up or been broken up with, you know just how hard it can be to feel "yourself" again. For the duration of that relationship you were an item and because of your closeness, your personal styles influenced each other (whether you were aware of it or not).

For example: Bella Hadid recently split from The Weeknd and, though the supermodel is and has always been a style star in her own right, the pair usually never swayed from their matching denim or black-on-black outfits. But once broken up, Bella's turned her style up a notch—sporting bold oversized sweats and plenty of unraveling clothing

Selena Gomez, on the other hand, went through a huge growing-up phase after her split with Justin Bieber. She honed in on owning her fashion choices and started making more daring decisions with her wardrobe like the above patterned outfit. Only after the breakup did we really see her earn her style star stripes.

After about a year together Taylor Swift and DJ Calvin Harris called it quits. T-Swift traded in her uber-sexy image (remember this jumpsuit moment?) for the personal style we've always known her to have—red lipstick, stripes and all.
