Celebrities know that a summer outfit isn't complete without the perfect shades. More than just an accessory that blocks out the sun's dangerous UV rays, they're a form of self expression. That said: Celeb-worthy specs can cost a fortune. 

Before you break out the credit card (or set foot in the sun), check out these top-rated sunglasses and designer lookalikes. Copy Bella Hadid's minimalist frames, Kim Kardashians bold shades and Hailey Baldwin's it-girl glasses with these styles from Amazon.

These multi-hued frames look Gucci's 56MM geometric sunglasses ($465 at Saks Fifth Avenue). At $13, they're also a fraction of the price. Wowsun also offers this style in leopard, black or glitter frames.

These translucent green shades from Feisedy look a lot like the celeb-coveted Valentino VA4080 sunglasses ($244 at Macy's, reduced from $349). Feisedy also sells this 90's sunglass style in an opaque black frame, a tortoise-shell frame and in more neon colors.  

These trendy cat-eye sunglasses are available on Amazon for about $11 and come in several other colors. Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Beyonce have been spotted wearing a similar style from higher price-point brand, Le Specs. 

Don't pay more to look festival-worthy. These Sojos glasses could serve as a stand-in for Ray-Ban's octagon 1972 sunglasses ($161 at Ray-Ban). The polarized specs have a mirrored option. The frames come in multiple colors.

"I seriously love these! Fans of Karen Walker may think these look a little familiar... Obviously not made as well, but for such a good price I can't complain! I get tons of compliments," writes kellyhenke, an Amazon reviewer, about these shades. These specs also have a non-shaded option for a reading-glasses look.

Harry Styles, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna all have been spotted wearing crystal-covered Gucci glasses -- look similar to these from Amazon. These Samurita shades are less than $15, but if you'd rather spend more, the Gucci design costs upwards of $1000. 

Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain popularized this style in the 90's. Now they're back and hot once again with the celebrity set. Feisedy offers the popular shape, inspired by a Saint Laurent design, in a variety of colors and lens tints. 

These glamorous glasses sure look like Saint Laurent's mask shield sunglasses ($475 at Neiman Marcus). Kim Kardashian and her sisters have been spotted wearing the designer label version. These wallet-friendly shades are less than $15 on Amazon.

Emma Roberts and the Olsen twins have been spotted in Gucci's oversized black sunglasses. These possible stand-ins look strikingly similar, and come in a variety of multi-hued glitter tones... if all-black doesn't seem fabulous enough. 

Ray-Ban Aviators ($161 at Ray-Ban) are casual and cool, but if you're on a budget, the price tag might not be. These Joox shades are a dead ringer, and are on Amazon for a fraction of the price.
