FICHIER_IMP_OK2.indd 6 16/06/2020 14:41 When does fashion blossom Why do some women look like they’re playing into style? dress up while others are the epitome of elegance? Celebrities have given the question a lot of thought—they know that a good sense of style can help build a career. Before the days of red-carpet mania, some fashion designers helped actresses by dressing them for their roles. The brand became their style and they in turn became muses to the designers—like Audrey Hepburn, who wore outfits by Hubert de , including the famous little black dress in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Or Catherine Deneuve, whose look in Belle de Jour was designed by Yves Saint Laurent. So what does it take to become a woman with style? A signature garment. Katharine Hepburn’s masculine pants, Jackie Onassis’s maxi sunglasses, Marilyn Monroe’s glamorous dresses, ’s handbag, Jane Birkin’s white T-shirt/1970s jeans/wicker basket: in short, you know exactly who you’re dealing with.

When having to Jennifer Lopez wears a vampy dress, she does it speak,” with purpose. When Cate Blanchett repeatedly sports pantsuits on the red carpet, there’s a reason. Wearing your clothes with intention is a way to create a style.

This book’s mission is to decipher the stylistic quirks of VIPs: Céline Dion’s penchant for the head-to-toe designer look; Angelina Jolie’s passion for strapless dresses; ’s affinity for the crop top; Billie Eilish’s fascination with all things oversize—they created signature looks through repetition. This book is a guide to style, filled with ideas. Draw inspiration from a star, copy their tricks, steal the looks you like: it’s time to create your very own style, taking cues from these examples.

FICHIER_IMP_OK2.indd 10 16/06/2020 14:41 help you avoid the pitfalls of humdrum style. In this book where all styles are welcome, wardrobe essentials play a leading role: trench coat, turtleneck, white shirt, or jeans—just because they’re basics, doesn’t mean you should wear them without measured consideration. And finally, we’ll take a look at the best fashion faux pas: the ones that prove you can have fun with fashion and that bold choices are the way to change preconceived notions. We’d be the last ones to advocate for a fashion police to enforce playing it safe with head-to-toe black. Women want to experiment with clothes these days, so dare to wear bright colors, try unusual proportions, and bust out the prints. We’re living in a time when anything goes. “Fashion passes, style remains,”

said Yves Saint Laurent. One thing is for sure: style will always be in fashion. So have fun creating or building on your own style by drawing inspiration from the suggestions in this guide. May the style be with you!

Kendall found herself in the limelight at the age of eleven, when she appeared in the E! reality TV series Keeping Up with the Kardashians. In the midst of all the family drama, the pretty brunette stood out for her style, and brands quickly realized that she could be the perfect muse. Her career really took off when she was nineteen and became a Victoria’s Secret Angel. With more than 125 million followers, she is now a major influencer whose sexy casual style is a reference for fashion mavens.

HER FAVORITE DESIGNERS Balmain, Atelier , Alexandre Vauthier, Dundas, and Giambattista Valli: for events, she opts for designers who excel in sexy. For everyday wear, she likes to try out small labels like Sunday Best, Cherry, and Warp + Weft. They can be tricky to track down, as some of these brands only last a season.

My style is “a little edgy but comfortable. I like being comfortable, for sure, and kind of casual.” Kendall Jenner

STEAL THIS IDEA A V-neck sweater, miniskirt, and oxfords. The mix of casual-sexy with a masculine touch is the point-scoring Kendall cocktail.
