"Over the years I have learned
that what is important in
a dress is the woman who is
wearing it."
— Yves Saint Laurent
A little surmising on the words of this legend can make you realise that there are some clothes which have gone down in history for being iconic, but more often than not, it has accredited its fame to the wearer. Not everyone has the power to turn a piece of cloth into art and inspire generations to come, with the beauty, and grace with which they carried it. These women and their aura are eternal, and we take this chance to celebrate the surreal by enlisting our favourites.
Bella Hadid: A rather recent addition to the scenario, we have a hunch her fashion sensibilities are here to stay. Giving women major fashion goals, her off-duty looks are effortlessly chic. Part boho, part rock-chic, her layered
accessories and killer boots are making us go gaga, quite literally!
Audrey Hepburn: A couturier's dream, a phenomenon in herself, Audrey Hepburn showed the world how to look effortlessly classy. The lady who iconised the little black dress also inspired little girls and pretty women how to swish and twirl in ballroom skirts and dream-like dresses through the characters she essayed in different movies.
Twiggy: If you are even a wee bit fond of retro fashion, you must have known about this iconoclast. From sheath dresses to go-go boots, and spidery lashes to pixie crop, she pulled off a 'one-woman-show' when it came to turning these then ramp elements into mainstream trends. Her gamine looks and lanky limbs are what inspire the top-notch models of the world even to this day.
Princess Diana: Diana Spencer had what it takes to make a fashion statement her own. She rocked the world and raked up a storm in a tea cup with the way she revamped everything regal into something so contemporary and edgy. Introducing bright colours and quirky hemlines to royal fashion, Diana did more than just inspire a generation; she left a legacy for princesses-to-be.
Coco Chanel: Did you really think any discussion on fashion would be complete without a mention of this femme fatale? She redefined fashion, made androgynous look feminine, carried off coat dresses with ultimate oomph, transformed monochrome palettes from boring to classy, and shared a love affair with pearls. Need more reasons to blindly follow this woman's sartorial instincts?
Victoria Beckham: Think queen of sass, and we bet you could only visualise only this powerful soul. Almost always dressed to perfection, there have rarely been instances when the critics of the world could raise a doubt about anything she donned. Now running a fashion line of her own, her clothes do every bit to convey on her behalf—"you couldn't juggle singing, modeling, acting and designing like I do".
Madonna: The material girl was all about fearless fashion. Back in the 80s, her boudoir-inspired looks with a dash of gothic glam, was quite the daring thing to do. Who else could think of wearing metallic conical bras and retainers to stage performances, and not care two hoots about the banter that followed. Giving off a hint of glamour and edge in everything she wore, Madonna became synonymous with the daredevils of the decade.
Blake Lively: Probably remembered the most for the time when she charmed fashionistas the world over with 10 outfit changes in one day, each better than the previous one, and nailed to ultimate perfection. She won everyone's heart for the first time with her appearance in Gossip Girls, and we have been left swooning since. Surprisingly, she sticks true to every element of being a fashion icon by pulling off every look on her own—yes, you heard that right, she has never hired a stylist.
Emma Watson: Every bit a Hollywood Goddess, she owns what the likes of Grace Kelly and Katherine Hepburn did. Her intelligence extends to her personality and reflects in the way she dresses. Emma Watson was not the youngest cover girl of Vogue for nothing. With her feminine yet tailored ensembles, she is bound to leave a noteworthy fashion legacy behind.
Sarah Jessica Parker: The sweetheart of the 90s, SJP—the 'self-proclaimed' fashionista proved in no time, why she called herself so. From baring mid-riffs to owning the tutus, there was a time, when every woman ever wanted to own all the clothes she wore in her show Sex and the city. She could strut from chaos to couture with an awe-inspiring rebellious yet feminine grace. Also, we can never stop drooling over her words when she said, "I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet."
