Audrey Hepburn is the epitome of style in my book. i enjoy seeing other people dress in trends or crazy styles, but i love to wear things that are always in style.

No. 3 · Daria at Gorgeous Black Women

…and recently, Michelle has totally downgraded her wardrobe in the cuteness department. The real Michelle would not wear that ugly a– skirt she had on during that interview. That's so the work of someone on the campaign trying to make mid-Western women like her.

No. 4 · Chic Noir

Kerry Washington is probably the most stylish or glamourous(tp)in Hollywood.
Michelle Obama is very stylish as was the late Jackie O.
Nicole Richie was fab when she worked with Racheal Zoe. Racheal Zoe is a very talented stylist.
model Gisselle cleans up nice.
Christina Ricci is also very stylish.
I like the Olsen twins style.
Rihanna is not bad but Kelis is the orignator of that look. I still love Kelis.
Beyonce for over the top chic.
I like some of what the hipster,boho African centered blk kids wear.
websites like starbucksandjane,pinupsdontwearflats and sartoralist are also very inspiratinal.
The ladies of French Vogue are also very chic.
Balenciaga runway shows are good for inspiration.

Kayne and Pharrell are both to fly and it's nice seeing men put in some effort besides P.Diddy.

I love the style of Tracee Ellis Ross, Kerry Washington, Gwen Stefani, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kelis, Rihanna, Necole Ritchie, Kelly Osborne, Joy Bryant.

I love a man with personal style like Kanye, Jay-Z, Puffy.

I have several style icons that I get inspiration from. I love the boldness and attitude of Grace Jones, Foxy Brown, and Samantha from Sex and the City. When I'm looking to be classy but modern I get inspired by Nia Long and Halle Berry. When I wanna be that hip around the way girl I'm inspired by Mary J Blige. I'm a curvy girl so I am always checking for the curvy girls eventhough it's not that many in Hollywood. So I am often inspired by Kim Kardashian, sorry if you hate her but the girl knows what works for her body and I'm taking notes. I'm also inspired by Jennifer Hudson if the clothes aren't too over the top.

There's are a few who do ok.
Rhianna- has a great sense of style for her age.

Victoria Beckham- her clothes are chosen well for her body type and always high end.

Jennifer Lopez- a very curvy woman who knows what works for her. Not always displaying her curves like say for instance Kim Kardashian. Every pic of her shows something tight around her bottom. Yes, more is more but sometimes less is more. Jen knows when.

I'd say my ideal style icons would be Audrey and Katherine Hepburn. These two women had flawless taste in an era when you couldn't count on a stylist. Check out Audrey in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and Katherine, one of the first women to wear men's trousers, was the epitome of class.

Who in Hollywood comes close?

Hmmm… suprisingly enough for me I'd have to say that Jennifer Lopez has delivered pretty consistently on the red carpet. It may be cliche, but I like Halle's frocks, especially the elaborately beaded numbers. Scarlett Johanssen's vintage stylings are often right up my alley. Salma Hayek often looks stunning, but she could probably do that in a burlap sack. Then there's my girl crush, Angelina Jolie, before she had the kids and became more demure and bohemian fashion-wise.

As for my style icon? I wish I had one — Dita von Teese, maybe? There's a lot of Audrey fans here. Weren't the gowns in 'Funny Face' incredible? That movie is probably the reason that working in a bookstore seems so cool to me.

My Personal Best Dressed List:

Katherine Hepburn - For going against the grain of her day and making white shirts and pants classics.

Audrey Hepburn - What can I say, three words: little black dress.

Oprah Winfrey - it's not about the size, but the style.

Michelle Obama - Have signature pieces: Pearls, sheath dresses.

Angelina Jolie - classics with an edge.

Diane Sawyer - She stays beautiful with each decade.

And Yours Truly!
