Style Icons:
Kate Moss
SJP (or rather Patricia Field's styling of SJP on SATC)
Audrey Hepburn
Nicole Ritchie (always think she looks very fresh and natural)
Katherine Hepburn
The Olsen Twins (am slightly at this but I do think they have great style and I love their Row and Elizabeth&James range.

Anti-style Icons:
Victoria Beckham - she is an incredibly stylish lady but always looks so done up and uncomfortable (and I speak as someone who loves a bit of glam in her daily life).
Chloe Sevigny - if anyone else dressed that way they would be called unhinged or bag lady.

Love the style of:
Alexa Chung
Diane Kruger
Olsen twins
Jane Birkin
Audrey Hepburn

Not too keen on WAG types!

poshsinglemum · 24/02/2010 22:05

I quite like Vivienne Westwood's style. Totally bonkers but at least she has balls especially as she is no spring chicken.

Agree with Jennifer Anniston, Nicole Richie, Kirsten Scott Thomas and Lily Cole as style icons.

Diane Kruger always looks amazing.

For such a beautiful woman Angelina Jolie's style is remarkably dull. Mabe she dosn't need fussy clothes and accessories as her beauty speaks for itself!

Jemima Khan is tres elegant

Most WAGS look dreadful

DrNortherner · 24/02/2010 22:14

The Olsen twins look like crack whores. Can't bear them.....

That emma crosby womna off GMTV often looks hideous, as does the weather woman Claire Nasir or whatever she is called.

Elle McPherson always looks pretty good.

The Liver Birds, series 2.

traceybath · 24/02/2010 22:27

Caroline Sieber is my new style crush.

Although I sort of admire Vicki B for the effort she puts in - anyone who can do disney in 6 inch platforms with bunions - well she's a more dedicated lady than me to the cause of fashion.

Did like kate moss but think she's gone off a bit - all too samey/grungey now.

I saw those fatshionistas in Grazia and they do have style. Some of them aren't even fat though. Just normal sizes.
