Yet, a few rays of light still shine through the stained glass of my temple. A handful of actresses still dress themselves and look amazingly original. Here are some of my divine fashion inspirations:
1. Diane Keaton From Annie Hall to Something’s Gotta Give, her menswear inspired minimal neutrals have inspired generations to embrace comfort and simplicity.
2. Tilda Swinton This actress will wear the clothes that no one else understands, and she does it with her head held high. Design team Viktor and Rolf dedicated an entire collection to her androgynous, edgy look.
3. Lauren Hutton She is famous for her gap-toothed smile and her use of crutches as a fashion accessory (post-motorcycle accident), and women love her. Her tomboy-chic style has made her an icon for all ages.
4. Ellen Barkin She has some of the most exquisite taste in clothes (and especially jewelry). Her body-conscious dressing never looks vulgar or “too young” because she knows where to draw the line.
5. Madonna Some think her yoga-tastic arms and use of fishnets goes too far, but she continues to inspire legions of women the world over. I give her lots of credit for taking chances, and for looking so good…at 50!
