Style icons

[Waywarddaughter]

As I was musing about rediscovering my own 'style' post kids and post 35, it got me to thinking about style icons and who I might like to emulate a little as I find my way, a bit like I did as a teenager.....so...who are your style icons/muses/heros/heroines? Who do you like to channel, even just a little bit?

Mine are here plus a dash of Minnie Mouse!

[Tweezertastic]

I love Helena bonham Carter. She dresses how she wants and she looks face because of it!

[Waywarddaughter]

You're my kind of girl Remus!!

HBC is ace, she really pulls it off.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

HBC is beautiful, but she often gets a bit too crazy cat lady for my liking (and I say that as somebody who can easily veer into that territory myself).

Men too coco, it's Bowie, Jarvis Cocker and Morrissey for me alongside Patti Smith, Bjork, Debbie Harry, P J Harvey.....

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

YY to Jarvis and the great Moz. :)

[Floisme]

Ooh I forgot Patti Smith
And Siousie Sioux
And Leonard Cohen

I don't exactly try and copy any of them but what I admire is that they each have a distinctive look. I also like it that they're not afraid to look their age.

Audrey Hepburn always. Immaculate, charming and caring. Can't stand Kate Moss though. Truly don't get why she's lauded. DH calls her 'rough as a badger's ar*e!

[Judydreamsofhorses]

Kate Moss
Edie Sedgewick
Jane Birkin
Louise Brooks
Mia Farrow
Bet Lynch - I love a bit of leopard print

[HappyGirlNow]

Cate Blanchett
Naomi Watts
Marion Cotillard
Diane Kruger
Charlize Theron

[mooth]

Clemence Poesy (doesn't try to be 'sexy')

Kate Bush, Jean Shrimpton, Lauren Hutton, pretty much any woman who strikes me as a proper 'grown up' who isn't scared of looking like a woman and wears whatever the hell she feels like wearing.

[mooth]

Oh, and David Bowie. Of course. And Brian Jones. Anita Pallenberg was quite cool, too.

[Pupsiecola]

Kate Beckinsale always looks stunning I think. Well groomed but simply dressed and stylish. As does Sandra Bullock; cannot believe she is 51.

[Becauseicannes]

Jackie Kennedy was always flawless. Lately I think sienna miller looks amazing

[SwedishEdith]

I think Jane Birkin looks great.

[SpecificOcean]

Kalinda from the Good Wife dresses right up my street.
Love also Abbey Clancy Kirsten Stewart Kate moss and Jennifer Aniston.
