Who are your style icons?

[IDontMindMarmite]

Preferably relatively current. Mine is rather out of date being Serena from Gossip Girl. Does anyone use pinterest to gather inspiration?

Olivia Palermo - she's like a grown up Serena VdW. I wouldn't necessarily put her on a pedestal for career or life goals, but she certainly looks amazing all the time.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. So chic.

Michelle Obama. Also so chic.

Rosie Huntingdon Whiteley has the most fabulous, elegant and chic wardrobe. However when she recently did an AMA and extolled her fave brands I nearly wept. Oh yeah sure, BALMAIN, we all live BALMAIN ... cries into empty wallet

A very different style but someone else whose Instagram I adore is the author Jessie burton. Such a contrast with Rosie but so naturally chic. Lots of colour and textures, some frida Kahlo vibes. So fun and still elegant.

Caroline de Maigret.
SJP in Series 1 of Divorce.
Sharon Horgan - especially in Catastrophe.
Jo Whiley.

Taylor Lashae - kind of cliched French style but it's a look that suits me and I love it.
90s Gwyneth Paltrow. Someone on here recently mentioned her wardrobe in A Perfect Murder, it's beautiful!
Emmanuelle Alt - more cliched French style
Jennifer Aniston and Elle Macpherson - I love their confidence in simplicity

Yes of course! Kate Moss. Some great looks.

Fearne Cotton too, from the things i'm pinning though i'm starting to think I just need sunglasses with whatever I wear and i'll be thinking it's glam

Olivia Palermo has a gorgeous classic style. Looking at some of these style icons, I wonder why I own anything other than blue jeans and single colour, white black or green tops....

Michelle Obama's hair is so beautiful and her outfits are the only ones where she really looks comfortable Sensible shoes and chic, what more can you want!

I've never heard of Rosie Huntingdon Whiteley but I might be in love! Her hair, her figure, her clothes...Again I just need sunglasses and a nice jacket. All the pictures coming up on pinterest are of her alone so at least i can console myself that she has no friends! Joke. ish. She has a nice bathroom

i'll look at some more later, thanks for the inspo!

Elle Macpherson is ridiculously beautiful, hair goals

I admire the style of:
Isabelle Huppert
Jeanne Damas
Charlotte Gainsbourg
Siena Miller
Kate Moss
Caroline de Maigret
Emanuel Alt
Thandie Newton
Clemente Poesie
Sabina Socol

Not current:
Jane Birkin
Anita Pallenberg
Anna Karina
Margaux Hemingway
Bianca Jagger

I just googled John Maclean

Amazing.

I love John Maclean. He is the man I couldn't look that good in a million years.

I like Chrissie Hynde's style.

I don't know who Jeanne Damas is but a brief pinterest oogle later and i too am a fan. I need all of her jackets and coats.

Charlotte Gainsbourg really has something about her doesn't she? Like she should only be seen in black and white...

Sabina Socol is very chic.

Aaahh! Lady Eloise. I just googled John Maclean and it came up with Bruce Willis in Die Hard, some makeup artist and a Scottish socialist. Please post a photo immediately. I don't know why but I'm desperate to see

Can I add Dita Von Teese to my list aswell.. she always looks impeccable, and I couldn't believe she is almost 50.

I watched a video of inside her home and it was amazing, the shoe closet was something else.

John McLean is the makeup artist!

He inhabits this extremely well-bred, upper-class gothic femme fatale character. I say character because that’s what his online presence is like but to all intents and purposes I believe that’s really who he is, how he speaks and dresses. It’s not drag it’s just a really unique personal style. I love his videos.

@J0nah
He is the make up artist.

Taehyung from bts, but, feminised?

The Queen always looks nice,, same styles but all in different bright colours,, and hats to match of course.

Emilia Fox in Silent Witness

I used to really like looking through the magazines to see what sienna miller, lindsay Lohan and Blake lively were wearing back in the day.

These days I like to look on pinterest at some of the the outfits hailey bieber wears. I also like kate moss.

John Maclean - he looks like the love child of Meryl Streep (as Cruella de ville) and Danni Minogue. I'm not seeing it

@reallifegetsintheway2 me neither..

@reallifegetsintheway2

Nor me

There's no-one current I'm finding interesting at the moment sadly. But I can give you Katharine Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Cary Grant.
