1. Iris Apfel

Proving that you don't have to be youthful to have style, Iris Apfel is still turning heads well into her 90s. She's a wonderfully eccentric dresser, who is never seen without her trademark oversized glasses. Watch the documentary about her and be inspired. ‌‌And be like Iris when you get older!

2. Lady GaGa

When it comes to fashion, Lady GaGa really is a law unto herself. Never seen in the same outfit twice, she's constantly coming up with extraordinary creations. Love her or loathe her, GaGa certainly makes the world more colorful. This lady just doesn't do casual dressing.

3. Grayson Perry

Artist Grayson Perry is not only known for his colorful ceramics, but also his equally colorful alter ego 'Claire'. When he's dressed as Claire, Perry sports the most extraordinary outfits; they might seem ridiculous to some, but are expressive and meaningful.

4. Bjork

While most of us would put on a cocktail dress for a special occasion, Bjork wears a swan outfit. It may be ludicrous, but it gets people talking, and it's certainly interesting! Bjork doesn't really do sensible and classic …

5. Beth Ditto

Singer Beth Ditto sends a very body-positive message. She's modelled for Gaultier and Marc Jacobs, and has designed her own clothing range for a plus-size retailer. Beth is one woman who refuses to conform to the fashion norms, and is an inspiration to women normally ignored by the fashion world because of their size.

6. Daphne Guinness

Daphne Guinness definitely doesn't go for sensible footwear! She's often seen tottering around in Alexander McQueen's highly impractical 'Armadillo' shoes. Most of us wouldn't dream of dressing like Daphne, but her extraordinary outfits certainly catch your eye …

7. Cher

There's really no-one quite like Cher when it comes to original style! Cher simply refuses to mellow with age, and good for her. She can get away with wearing the most outrageous creations, because she's CHER. Somehow you just can't imagine Cher ever settling for classic neutrals or so-called 'age-appropriate' dressing.

8. Isabella Blow

The late Isabella Blow was known for discovering Alexander McQueen, and her fondness for Phillip Treacy hats. She was never seen looking less than stylish, even if that style was wonderfully eccentric. There's something very English about her unconventional style.

9. Anna Dello Russo

Follow Anna dello Russo on Instagram and you'll be treated to a host of imaginative outfits worn by the fashionista. She loves patterns and bright colors, which is a great antidote to the black outfits beloved by many in the fashion industry.

We may not like how these celebrities dress, but there's no denying that they are innovative and individual dressers. No boring, conventional outfits for them! And that makes the world that little bit brighter and more fun. An honorary mention goes to the Fabulous Fashionistas, who aren't all famous but are wonderful dressers. So dress the way that makes you happy, whether that's loud and proud or classic!
