You might do it this way:

sheet.getRow(0).getCell(0).getCellStyle().getCoreXf();

The getCoreXf() method returns:

<xml-fragment numFmtId="14" fontId="0" fillId="2" borderId="0" xfId="0" applyNumberFormat="1" applyFill="1" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:x14ac="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/spreadsheetml/2009/9/ac"/>

Sample code (to compare styles of two cells):

FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream(new File("res/Book1.xlsx"));

//Get the workbook instance for XLS file 
XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook (file);

//Get first sheet from the workbook
XSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);

CTXf style1 = sheet.getRow(0).getCell(0).getCellStyle().getCoreXf();
CTXf style2 = sheet.getRow(0).getCell(1).getCellStyle().getCoreXf();
System.out.println(style1);
System.out.println(style1.equals(style2)); //true if both are same and false if they are different

This seems to be working fine. Please try!

With Cell.getCellStyle() you can find out the style per cell. With that you can check the fine granular CellStyle settings.
