    Rachel Zowe is the stylist for the first 3 from your list... check out her style its amazing!


    I don't really have a style icon as such but I admire Donnatella Versace, Kate Moss, Fearne Cotton and Jade Jagger to name but a few.

    Personally, I don't approve of Nichole Ritchie et al - they are unhealthily thin and their sense of style is rather bland, anyway. I'd be more inspired by real-world people who manage to look good on a normal budget and without an army of stylists.

    Nicole Kidman, and classics like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly... Much of what they wore was timeless and chic...epitome of elegance.

    Brendan Kilkenny, has managed to capture the 80's style and keep it fresh, the haircut alone is an undertstated classic.

    He's trying too hard :o

    Brendan is more of a classic look for that generation. Fielding looks like he was styled where as BK has a more 'off the peg' style about him :)

    Ok, BK certainly has an "off the peg" look, but who wants to look like old laundry when you can look like this.^^^

    I'd have to say Jessica Alba and Rachel Bilson always look so classy at awards and have really cool casual style too.

    Steve McQueen, Stuart Townsend and Yves Saint Laurent ("fashion fades, style is eternal").
    Brendan Kilkenny and Noel Fielding are amateur eighties fetishists compared to Stuart Price (Les Rythmes Digitales, Thin White Duke, Jacques Lu Cont etc.)

    What are you wearing that is unique and trend setting? That isn't just a different cut of a shirt of a different picture on a t-shirt.

    Peaches Geldof looks well most of the time,Kelly Osbourne,Lindsay Lohan,Lily Allen.
    People like that who experiement with colour and styles.
