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 Givenchy, 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, Grace Kelly’s handbag, Jane Birkin’s white T-shirt/1970s jeans/wicker basket: in short, you know exactly who you’re dealing with. 7 FICHIER_IMP_OK2.indd 7 16/06/2020 14:41 “Style is a way to say says stylist-to-the-stars Rachel Zoe.

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 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.

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.
