Who is your STYLE ICON?

Mine is so weird... Jennifer Aniston. I know she's twice my age practically but I love her style, so casual and simple yet she looks so well dressed all the time...

Do any of you have a bizarre style icon, or even a usual one, what do you like about yours etc?

Sophie Ellis Bexter-she's so beautiful and always looks so glamorous
Her voice is lovely too-singing and speaking

Nothing weird about Jen - she is fab.

Mine are probably Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman, Elle MacPherson

COD!

I think of her as that Susannah woman of breakfast news crossed with a tennis playing Miss Jean Brodie in Jean Muir.

Back in the day, certain of the costumes worn by Theresa Russell in "Bad Timing". Some of them are absolute shockers, but the tailored suits are fab.

I still like the film, too.

I like Jennifer Aniston as well. She never looks like she's tried too hard. Mrs Beckham take note!!

PerkinWarbeck · 08/07/2008 11:38

I love Diane Keaton as Annie Hall.

SheherazadetheGoat · 08/07/2008 11:39

all of the pussy cat dolls, they are so classy

I'm going to admit it's Doris Day

  • not for today, I hasten to add! But I sometimes think I was born in the wrong age and I was meant for a time of delightful little suits with matching hats and gloves, beribboned nightgowns, swing jackets...

Cameron Diaz. Check out her film "the holiday", her outfits are to die for! I've even made notes on them and am attempting to put together similar looks.

drew barrymore.

especially in charlies angels

MadamAnt · 08/07/2008 12:34

Dita von Teese

claricebeansmum · 08/07/2008 12:34

Audrey Hepburn

marmalady · 08/07/2008 12:36

Cat deely- wears lovely dresses

FritziGreenEyes · 08/07/2008 12:38

Mary-Louise Parker! Her outfits in Weeds are to die for. But I won't go as far as copying her style from Fried Green Tomatoes ...

DrNortherner · 08/07/2008 12:40

I think Holly Willowby always looks lovely and Kelly Brook and my body shape is similar to theirs.

I love Fearn Cotton's style but could never pull it off.

Another vote for Jennifer Aniston.

She tends to stick to black, white or muted shades and never looks over-accessorized. Occasionally I think she plays it a little too safe but it keeps her off the worst dressed lists so it's working.

I remember a photo of her in Grazia last year. She was getting out of a car in London and was wearing a white shirt, beige city shorts and raffia wedges. She looked so polished even though the outfit was simple.

Also, and I know she probably didn't get a lot of say in what she wore, I loved everything she wore in The Break Up.

MissingMyHeels · 08/07/2008 12:54

I love Rachel Bilson, everything she wears I adore and she does casual and red carpet so well. Also love Anna Friels outfits in Pushing Daisies.

SpangleMaker · 08/07/2008 13:19

Another vote for Dita von Teese

I sort of aspire to having an image somewhere on a spectrum between Dita and Nigella Lawson, but generally fail!

DazedEmma · 08/07/2008 14:03

when you have these style icons, do any of you dress like them or do you just admire their looks?

I agree Cameron Diaz looked wonderful in the Holiday - she really stood out

Figfingers · 09/07/2008 14:26

uhmmmm

Dunno.. sometimes just a random stranger catches my eye.. I am always tempted to ask where they got their bag/shoes/top from but never do...

Most celebrities have an army of styliststs and it´s hard to get it wrong that way..

If I had to pick one it would be Nicole Richie..

She glows and wears super cute stuff.

Niceychops · 10/07/2008 14:50

Rachel Bilson, Nicole Richie and the Olsens. All ten years younger than me, so I would look a daft old bat if I tried their looks...I just like looking at outfits that look 'put together', it's a bit of escapisim really. I wear jeans and t shirts every day!
