Her fashion icon status was cemented when luxury brand Hermes name a bag in her honour.

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe could best be described as a blonde bombshell. While her turn in ‘The Seven Year Itch’ created a caricature of sorts (peroxide blond hair, red lips, white dress) there was more to her style than that iconic scene. Her off-screen style was an example in dressing for your body type. While she often wore pants, dresses were her forte. A full lip, winged eyeliner, and beauty mole completed the look.

Katharine Hepburn

Unlike other screen sirens, who played on their femininity, Katharine Hepburn stood out by dressing quite androgynously. She came to epitomise the ‘modern woman’ and in 1986 she even won an award from the Council of Fashion Designers America. You can mimic her look by wearing a pair of crisp wide-legged trousers, a button-down blouse, and loafers.

Ava Gardner

On screen, Ava Gardner was the classic femme fatale. Her signature on-screen look was a seductive black gown complete with elbow length gloves and black strappy heels, which she wore in the movie ‘The Killers’. She was also fond of fur, leopard print, and floppy hats.
