Style Icons

Can't you see I'm REALLY bored today?

My boyfriend and I have this discussion all the time (hazard of loving design and photography too much, I guess): do you have a person or persons whose style you really admire and try to emulate?

Mine are:

Juliette Binoche

---

I can't shop for clothes very often but when I do I take the "WWJD" approach: What Would Juliette (Binoche) Do?

If I could be her character Vienne Rocher in "Chocolat," I would. She had only a couple outfits in that movie, and yet with a few accessories wore them to great effect. She has a careless grace about her in every outfit she wears on and off the screen, and has the look of a woman who will age with just as much grace. When it comes to style, the French definitely have it.

Audrey Hepburn

---

'nuff said, and Bogart wasn't a bad one for the men to emulate either.

---

Anna Popplewell

---

Of Narnia fame. She's quickly developing a flair for elegance on and off the screen as well

---

Christina Hendricks

---

Good lord this woman is unstoppable - she puts the vavoom in Mad men and then whenever the paparazzi catch her IRL she's always wearing some vintage-style treat that makes her look just like "hot buttered yum".

---

Dita Von Teese

---

Dita is every inch a pin-up glamour queen and I adore her.

---

"Pam" from "True Blood"

---

Why do I love 'Pam'? Because she makes leather and latex elegant. And she wears the most ostentatious crap and manages to be classy about it. And she'll do it all while ready to rip your throat out.

What are yours? David loves Ryan Gosling and Daniel Craig.



My favorite nights are when we get dressed better than everyone else and paint the town red.
