#IconCity: New It-Girl, Gigi Hadid

Latest It-Girl on the fashion scene, Gigi Hadid, has made it into Iconcity because of her penchant for style and her appearance at the hottest shows at Fashion Month. Head-to-head with Kendall Jenner, who can tell which if these women will rise to the top faster? Though Kendall has a one-up on Hadid due to her Kardashian liaison, the latter remains a favourite amongst designers like Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors, so watch out Kendall. Some may say she has been on the rise for years, landing her first gig with Marciano at 2 years old, but Gigi has come a long way since then and her modelling gig is just beginning.

Here are some of her best looks.

London Fashion Week: In Review

After moving from the luxe looks of New York City, we switched on over to the hipster scene in London. A city best known for its eccentric style and deviation from fashion rules, London featured some of the most eye-catching designer collections this season. From Christopher Bailey at Burberry Prorsum to Vivienne Westwood, London Fashion Week takes on many forms that makes it undefinable. The one thing we can agree on is that London is consistently filled with surprises on the catwalk. This year, a dominant trend in London was nature. Designers like Erdem and Antonio Berardi featured bold floral prints to lift us up during the sombre fall months. Florals for Fall? Now, that's something you don't see every day. These designers prove that seasonal dressing is overrated and that it's all about the personality. Here are five of my favourite collections from London Fashion Week that reflected my own personality.

ANTONIO BERARDI
Antonio Berardi livened up the Fall scene with bold floral prints in bright yellow on tailored dresses with skirts filled with pleats to start off his show. The collection drew in the ultra feminine British woman who aims to impress with striking colours and head-to-toe prints. One of dominant colour trends was lilac, an unusual hue for Fall that made us question our impression of seasonal colour palettes. Pink was another colour that made a dramatic appearance in a bright shade of Barbie. It appeared on classic knee-length dresses and pant suits only suitable for the fashionably inclined. The collection then took a turn for the cobalt with abstract prints on dresses and pants alike. The best part? The designer integrated the latest fashion fad: dresses over pants. Whether or not the look will sell remains to be seen, but in London, anything goes. This collection may have appeared simple at first glance, but the second half of the show proved that this man knows how to manipulate his fabrics. His final dresses were architectural and almost, origami-like, making every look stand out on its own as a statement outfit.

FAVOURITE LOOK: 10

ISSA
This debut collection by Jamie O'Hare transformed Issa into a boho-chic selection of fringed dresses, geometric prints, and sheer panels in unusual places. It targeted the sexy bohemian woman aiming to have a little fun on the streets and assert her style savvy. The show began with some classic black and white and instantly drew me in with an edgy printed jumpsuit. Was it original? Maybe not. But it caught my eye and invited me in for more. The third look already predicted the prominence of fringe in this collection not suited for the faint of heart. There were several classic LBD's with cutouts and transparency made for a woman who owns the room. For the lady who wants to make a bigger statement? There were a wide variety of jumpsuits to choose from. The designer mixed prints with expert ease and even brought in the colour du jour: bright red (a popular Red Carpet choice). Another print that made it onto this runway was stripes. Whether on flowy dresses or loose blouses, stripes appeared in different forms, but with similar colour tones. The designer ended the show with some sparkly minis, taking the collection from daytime office chic to ladies night. I'm already picturing Poppy Delevingne in one of those black fringe dresses and look forward to seeing how she'll give it her own flavour.

FAVOURITE LOOK: 11

DAVID KOMA
David Koma is always a show I look forward to at London Fashion Week. He consistently keep his collection sophisticated, yet edgy, with leather patches and strong colours. This season, he incorporated zippers and belts that defined the waist, making it all about the metal additions. He managed to keep the collection feminine with flared skirts in the ever-popular leather. Though he kept the collection basic with classic black and even some nude, there were other colours such as orange and cobalt that made an appearance, keeping it fresh and bold. The designer gave his collection some added sex appeal with mesh netting and cutouts at the waistline. Though he maintained the structured appeal of his label, he also increased its sensuality with slits and minis. It was a new take for David Koma, but I was nonetheless impressed and attracted to a number of pieces in the collection.

FAVOURITE LOOK: 2
via style.com
HOLLY FULTON
This Holly Fulton collection had a vintage feel that triggered the nostalgia we're all feeling in the current generation. It began with a luxurious white fur coat, reminiscent of a day when this was what we wore in the winter time and parkas did not exist. There was a strong feminine aura in this collection dominated by skirts and slip dresses. A floral theme was also present in this collection but in the cuts and shapes of the pretty pastel blouses on the runway. Pink, green, and red were the colours that appeared most throughout the show on furs and leathers. Though it was very girly, the collection had a good girl gone bad edge and perhaps even a sprinkle of Cher Horowitz in it. Every look was different but had one thing in common: a strong character.

FAVOURITE LOOK: 11
via style.com
TOPSHOP UNIQUE
Topshop is one of my favourite British brands and this collection reminded me why. With bulky fur coats, hints of leather, and its signature plaid print, this collection had so many interesting pieces to make it a memorable one. It was for the effortlessly cool downtown London chick (think Cara Delevingne) stopping cars on the streets with her bold style choices. Once again, nature took on a form in this collection on dresses and blouses in earth tones like tan and dark green. The party girl came out with slinky mini dresses, particularly of the furry variety for the modern lady. The collection's 70s undertones were evident throughout with matching suits flared pants, but with a glam twist. It was the epitome of London and that's exactly what it was aiming for.

The Ultimate Best-Dressed List: Oscars 2015

Last night was the biggest night of the year in cinema and in fashion. Celebrities of the highest caliber walked the Red Carpet in the most luxurious dresses and tuxedos to celebrate film, and of course, show off their designer garbs. As per usual, I have decided to indulge in one of my favourite hobbies: creating a best-dressed list. Though you may have already seen an abundance of lists on websites like Glamour, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar, this one will provide commentary on my picks for best-dressed of the night. If you're even the slightest bit curious, take a look at my choices below.

NUMBER 10
ANNA KENDRICK in THAKOON
Though Anna Kendrick is one of my favourite people in Hollywood (seeing as we are soul sisters), I tend to dislike her fashion choices. For once, I was impressed. One of the first people to walk the Red Carpet, Anna shocked onlookers by wearing something surprisingly elegant (no offense, Anna). This peach Thakoon dress with a neckline made of diamonds took everyone's breath away and her hair was Oscar perfect if I do say so myself. Finally, I can say "bravo, Anna". You have mastered humour and fashion alike. I like you even more now.
via www.hollywoodreporter.com
NUMBER 9
CHRISSY TEIGEN in ZUHAIR MURAD
Chrissy Teigen looked like a goddess in this baby blue Zuhair Murad dress (doesn't she always?). Though I'm not usually a fan of the deep V combined with a slit, somehow she pulled it together without crossing the line after sexy. The dramatic berry lip and retro waves made it an even more striking look and since she isn't in the film business, we can rest assured that her goal was to make the best-dressed lists. Mission accomplished.
via nenacarvalho.com.br
NUMBER 8
FELICITY JONES in CUSTOM ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
While some celebrities prefer the understated, others opts for something slightly more jaw-dropping. Usually, the fresher faces. Take Felicity Jones, for example. This celeb took the diva route with a custom Alexander McQueen dress/ball gown to assert her princess status. Since she looks like a munchkin in bangs, she pulled it off. But don't be fooled by her angelic demeanor. This dress says: I'm here to win, bitches.
via mirror.co.uk
NUMBER 7
JENNIFER LOPEZ in ELIE SAAB
Though J.Lo always exposes her cleavage, this time it was in a more tasteful way and I applaud her for it. She kept it sexy with the deep V neckline and naked colour, but rather than opting for a deep slit, she went for the heavy tulle princess dress like Felicity. She may have been just a presenter, but when it comes to fashion, she was clearly there to impress and it's safe to say that she did.
via usmagazine.com
NUMBER 6
LUPITA N'YONGO in CALVIN KLEIN COLLECTION
As always, Lupita makes the best-dressed list because she knows exactly how to assert her icon status. The starlet chose a custom Calvin Klein dress composed of 6,000 pearls. Not bad for a Hollywood beginner. Looks like we'll have to be on the lookout for this leading lady, because her fashion choices prove she's a force to be reckoned with.
via economicworld.net
 NUMBER 5
MARION COTILLARD in DIOR HAUTE COUTURE
Of course, Marion Cotillard wore Dior on the Red Carpet and looked beautiful in it. This may look like a simple white dress, but the texture and train take it to another level of stunning that only a french woman can master. And just wait until you see the back.
via www.reveal.co.uk
NUMBER 4
ROSAMUND PIKE in GIVENCHY HAUTE COUTURE
Though Rosamund Pike scared the bejesus out of me in Gone Girl, I was absolutely obsessed with this red Givenchy dress and was able to look past my psycho path image of her. I expected something a little more revealing and was pleasantly surprised by her classy choice. From the texture, to the slit, to the sheer panels at the sides, I was completely smitten with her look.
via carlyleobserver.com
NUMBER 3
EMMA STONE in ELIE SAAB
Though many disliked Emma's dress for its yellowish tint, I likened it more to gold and found that it sparkled against her porcelain skin perfectly. Emma knows that the key to winning at the Oscars Red Carpet is by wearing a sparkly Elie Saab dress, but rather than keeping it safe, she chose a unique colour that was unseen elsewhere on the carpet. I salute her for it. Go Emma!
via mirror.co.uk
NUMBER 2
GIULIANA RANCIC in MIREILLE DAGHER
Another lady in red who rocked the Red Carpet last night was Giuliana Rancic. She may not be known for her films, but she is widely recognized for her fashion sense. By default, she always ends up on my best-dressed lists because she has exquisite taste and somehow, I find myself wanting every single thing she wears. Can I steal your wardrobe, please?
via eonline.com
and the NUMBER 1 goes to...

GWYNETH PALTROW in RALPH & RUSSO COUTURE
Everyone's talking about Gwyneth Paltrow's giant Carrie Bradshaw flower. From the moment I spotted this pale pink Ralph & Russo dress, it was love at first sight. Before knowing it was Gwyn, this look was already my favourite and since this woman knows her body more than anyone, she obviously made it onto every best-dressed list. Every time she hits that Red Carpet, she gets it right. This was definitely one of her shining moments.
via eonline.com
HONOURABLE MENTIONS:
Dakota Johnson in Saint Laurent
via Vogue.com
 Kerry Washington in Miu Miu

New York Fashion Week Review: My Top 5

Guess what? It's that time of year again. FEBRUARY. Yes, this month is terrible for a number of reasons: the excruciating cold, Valentine's Day, etc., but there is a silver lining that we like to call New York Fashion Week. This year, most of the designers stayed true to their image and though not many boundaries were broken, we felt a sense of warmth at the sight of Michael Kors' usual minimalist aesthetic and Vera Wang's almost entirely black collection. However, I still picked five of my favourites to review. Ready?

TIMO WEILAND
This was one of my favourite shows this season in New York because every piece looked exactly like something I would love to see in my closet. A bunch of silly beanies, some oversized sweaters, a few adorable mini skirts to compliment said oversized sweaters, PYJAMA SUITS (which I am finally starting to understand as a fashion statement), and round sunglasses (my favourite shape of eyewear). Stripes were the dominant print in this collection and were featured in almost every look. Fringe even had a moment and so did the abstract painting motif. As a whole, this looked like the most comfortable looking wardrobe I could ever aspire to and I wanted all of it.
MY FAVOURITE LOOK: 17
via style.com
3.1 PHILLIP LIM
This collection was way too cool for school and as a result, I was instantly drawn to it. My favourite fabric made an appearance several times in the form of high-waisted pants and sleeveless vests. Yes, I am talking about leather. In this case, the print was plaid, which made total sense as it is a Fall/Winter collection after all with punk rock inclinations. Though the collection was dominated by neutrals, there were some splashes of red and based on my deductions, this may just be the happening colour of Fall 2015. Just a wild guess. It felt very downtown chic meets utilitarian with structured jackets and blazers in various shades of khaki. Bomber jackets also made an appearance because what cool girl doesn't wish to own a bomber?
MY FAVOURITE LOOK: 5
via style.com
RODARTE
I confess. I am drawn to all things edgy with a pinch of attitude and this collection was exactly what the doctor ordered. Leather mini skirts? Check. Puffer jackets with fur trimmed hoods? Check. Hot pants? Check. This collection was the epitome of sexy and conjured images of Kate Moss in the 90s. It projected that good girl gone bad look with a few lace tights and boudoir-inspired outfits. Looks like someone was inspired by Fifty Shades of Grey. Or perhaps we're all just in a flirtatious mood. Could it be the Valentine's Day spirit? As with many of the most recent collections, this one was very much inspired by a 70s aesthetic with deep V necklines and checkered blazers in mustard and greige. According to the designers, their ideas behind the collection began with birds and if you look closely, it's written all over the clothes. Yes, I'm talking about those sparkly feathered numbers that closed the show. These designers definitely know how to make a statement.
Watch it here
FAVOURITE LOOK: 16
via style.com
NANETTE LEPORE
This collection touched a much more feminine side of me and it started with that stunning purple lip I immediately wanted to try. Let me begin by saying that I lusted after absolutely everything in this collection from the matching pale pink set at the very beginning to the checkered jumpsuit in the middle to the long raspberry coat at the end. There were so many splashes of wonderful colours, it almost didn't feel like winter for a moment. If you're in the mood to be girly, there were enough mini dresses for every day of the week and each one was amazing in its own way. Though the collection started with some loose draping, the designer introduced some sensual black lace to give this seemingly innocent wardrobe some edge. It was perfect.
FAVOURITE LOOK: 4
via style.com
OSCAR DE LA RENTA
Peter Copping took the reigns and though we all miss Oscar dearly, he did him proud. He kept the original designer's aesthetic with sophisticated and feminine looks including some classic tweed suits and a few flared skirts. Though the hems were higher, they remained elegant and refined for the Oscar woman at heart. Frilly blouses paired with minis were precisely my cup of tea and the little bits of fur made it all the more glamorous. The show ended with some Oscar potential dresses and a few cocktail selections for the bold amongst us. Yes, I'm talking about that off-the-shoulder gold dress and the colour-blocked one that closed the show. It was definitely cocktail hour at De La Renta and everyone showed up wanting to leave a lasting impression.
Watch it here.

The "Dirty Hair" Look: Will It Ever Catch On?

The week at New York Fashion Week, our very own Alexander Wang had models walk down the runway with hair in a state that we would never leave our house in. It looked nothing short of greasy and stuck on your face like they hadn't washed it in over a week. Wang loves to push the envelope and take an unconventional route in his shows, but whether the fashionistas of this world will adopt this look is another question altogether.

via fashionisers.com
 The question is: Is this fashion?

Several seasons ago, Prada had her models sport the exact opposite of Wang's, the wet I-just-showered look. It was definitely something we wouldn't mind trying ourselves. Is fashion transitioning into a more "easy" look when it comes to hair? In other words, are we spending way too much time with the hairdryer? Wang says yes. So does Miuccia. Perhaps our best look is one that is most natural.

With hairstylists running to and fro during fashion week, we can safely say they're doing their job, but their work is so expertly executed that it appears as close to natural as can be. However, we all know the secret behind the no-makeup makeup look. Only a true artist can achieve a natural look with the same amount of effort as the, shall we say, unnatural look. Without access to these stylists, can we even pull off runway hair? Should we even try? Is this merely an expression of artistic freedom or a message to the masses?

Though this hairstyle seems absurd to the average person, is it possible that Wang is trying to tell us something? Should we be taking a break from our intensive beauty routines and opt for something slightly less done? This is not a revolutionary idea. Beach waves are a prime example of keeping the hair as "natural" as possible. But we all know Blake Lively's hair does NOT look like that in the morning. Or do we? How about the mantra "I woke up like this" as adopted by Beyonce? Would it be so ridiculous to wake up and walk out the door without touching a strand? Is done-down the new done-up?

Ponder it,

XOXO,

Let's Talk About Kanye for Adidas

Let's begin with the name. Yeezy Boost. Okay. I don't speak Kanye. Not sure what that means. However, we'll let it slide because it sounds cool.

The show started with Kanye going on and on about philosophical thoughts that lifted him to the godlike pedestal he seems to permanently sit on. Moral of the story. Awesome is possible. Take that, New York Fashion Week.

Now, let's move on to the clothing. It consisted mainly of neutral tones such as black and nude. The black made us think of Kanye because he's so mysterious. Obviously. The nude made us think of Kim, for obvious reasons as well.

Kanye also chose to include his sister-in-law Kylie in the show to make her feel like she's just as good as Kendall at modelling. Unfortunately, this isn't Lagerfeld or DVF, but I suppose Kanye will do since he is destined for greatness. Duh.

Kim also brought Baby North to the show to honour her daddy, which resulted in tears and Kim having to take the child out of the room. They say the truth comes out of the mouths of babes. I don't know. That's just what they say.

Anyhow, I liked the shoes. I want the shoes. I think it's safe to say that the average person does not want to expose herself a la Kim by wearing Kanye's nudist tights, but he stayed true to himself and that's what matters.

Also, he debuted an awesome new song. Listen to it.

Good for you, Kanye.

XOXO,

How Fashion Girls Celebrate Valentine's Day

As we all know, Valentine's Day is the day we celebrate love. It is no longer a day reserved for couples alone, but rather, one in which we can send cards to family and friends to tell them how much we care. It's also a day to spoil ourselves, because loving yourself is the keynote to true happiness. Duh. Now that we've gone through all the cliches that allow us to acknowledge and perhaps "enjoy" Valentine's Day, let's go through a list of ways that fashion girls choose to celebrate this holiday. Ready? Here's my top five.

NUMBER 5
V-Day Inspired Nail Art
On this special week in February, Pinterest is flooded with Valentine's Day manicures to brighten up your day. Whether you have a man or not, this is just another opportunity to get your nails done. Rather than going for the basic red or pink, try some crazy nail art and get creative this year. It's the simplest way to enjoy the day without the flowers.
via babble.com
NUMBER 4
New Lingerie
Let's get one thing straight. A woman must ALWAYS feel sexy whether there is a man in her life or not. Hence, the excuse to buy sexy lingerie for Valentine's Day. After all, you never know when you'll need it.
via myfavouritepins.com
NUMBER 3
Red Shoes
If you've always wanted that pair of statement shoes, now is your chance. Since V-Day falls on the weekend, what better way to showcase a pair of bold red stilettos than on the streets during Valentine's Day?
via redcarpet-fashionawards.com
NUMBER 2
Red Lipstick
If you're not usually inclined to wear a red lip, this is your chance to try it out. If you have nobody to kiss on V-Day, this is the perfect time to sport this bold lip color that women love and men hate to kiss.
via leessaray.deviantart.com

NUMBER 1
Heart-Shaped Jewellery
In this day and age, who needs a man to buy you jewellery? Any true fashion girl can buy her own sleek silvery heart on a chain and this is the perfect excuse to justify this type of purchase, wouldn't you agree?
via hapatime.com
What are YOU doing this Valentine's Day. Have you finished your shopping yet?

XOXO

A Letter to Men Who Wear Skinny Jeans

Dearest men in skinnies,


via www.mmo-champion.com

Don't take this the wrong way. I love a man who knows how to dress. I also think it's lovely that you've adopted this trend because women discovered long ago that it does wonders for your legs. I'd like to personally thank Harry Styles for making this a popular style choice (no pun intended). That said, I still cannot wrap my head around this look. Do I love it? Yes. On myself. I live in my skinny jeans. On some men, I can even admit that it's flattering (see photo above). With androgyny being fashion's favourite word and all, I should not indulge in hypocrisy by claiming that women can dress like men and men cannot dress like women. But then again, is wearing skinny jeans dressing like a woman? When I wear pants am I dressing like a man? How about if I add a bow tie? The line is so fine between what clothing is female and which is male these days. You would think society has advanced far beyond this point, but yet, here we are, discussing men adopting a stereotypical female trend. As someone who condones those who break the fashion rules and stand by who they are, I encourage you to dress as you please, but why are you wearing my pants? I call them MY pants because I am speaking as a woman, for all women. Perhaps we should all take a moment and reflect on this rising trend. If men can wear skinny jeans, maybe they can wear skirts as well or dresses. If Anna Kendrick shows up on the Red Carpet in a tux, everyone thinks she looks sexy, but what if Kanye West wore a dress (I know. I giggle at the thought). Am I taking it too far? Will this ever even happen? Did anyone imagine that women would be wearing pants back in 1885? Are men in skinny jeans a signal of change? If so, the Brits are way ahead of the game and we, North Americans, far behind. Are we underestimating the power of the skinny jean? Interestingly enough, when women began wearing pants, it was considered revolutionary, but men in skinny jeans is completely overlooked by society. Are people less shocked when men are making the changes in this world because it remains "male-dominated"? Or am I just speaking like a feminist? Maybe I'm less concerned with the actual situation and more so with society's indifference. Is this a big deal or am I insane for bringing it up?

Ponder it,

XOXO,

Bella

What Happened At The Grammys Before I Fell Asleep Watching

As we all know, award shows seem to drag on endlessly and no matter how good they are, our attention spans simply cannot handle four hours of this. Last night, the Grammys were no exception. Though there were many memorable moments and MOST of the performances were pretty spectacular, I couldn't seem to last until the very abrupt end. However, I came across enough moments to make a top ten list of things that made it worth the watch. Ready?

NUMBER 10
Rihanna's Giambattista Valli Dress
While many walked the Red Carpet in sleek gowns or elegant jumpsuits, Rihanna decided to make it happen in a puffy pink cotton candy gown by Giambattista Valli straight from the latest Haute Couture show. Who cares if it was over-the-top? It made everyone in the room smile and whether it blew your mind in a good way or a bad way hardly matters because Rihanna can get away with anything.

via peoplestylewatch.com

NUMBER 9
The Collabs
If the Grammys are any indication, 2015 will be the year of the unexpected collaborations. It turns out, nobody is good alone anymore and needs to add that element of surprise with a familiar face you never saw coming. Some of the best song collabs last night were: Annie Lennox with Hozier, Sam Smith with Mary J. Blige, Riri with Kanye and Paul McCartney, Usher with Stevie Wonder, and Lady Gaga with Tony Bennett. Also, Ed Sheeran with John Mayer at guitar. Also, Gwen Stefani with the smoldering Adam Levine. Yes, there were many collaborations (some would say too many), but the strange part was that many of the accompanying artists didn't sing more than a lyric. However, it did have the intended effect of keeping us interested.

via cnn.com
NUMBER 8
The Old Men
There were so many old men at this event, one might have suspected it was taking place in a very different era. Take for example the opening by AC/DC who rocked it out like it was 1995. Were you feeling nostalgic? Apparently, Hollywood was.

via www.theaustralian.com.au
NUMBER 7
OBAMA
There was nothing more heartwarming than Obama's dedicatory message to women who are victims of abuse. The appearance of Brooke Axtell may have brought the Grammys to a more sombre place, but it invited the audience to reflect on their privileged lives for a moment accompanied by a lovely Katy Perry ballad. Message received.

via www.usatoday.com
NUMBER 6
TayTay's Dance Moves
As per usual, everyone was eying Taylor Swift last night as she danced the night away in the audience. She never fails to deliver a stellar performance whether on stage or at her seat. Will there be a gif? One can only hope.

via www.zap2it.com
NUMBER 5
Sam Smith's Awards
Apparently, last night was the night of Sam Smith. He won almost all the awards and humbly accepted each one as one would expect from such a kind looking fellow. He also delivered an incredible show with Mary J. Blige and we love him a little more for it.

via www.variety.com
 NUMBER 4
Paul McCartney's Little Dance
It looks like Paul McCartney is taking the example from Taylor Swift and shaking it off British style by clapping his hands delightfully. Unfortunately for him, the cameras are always watching and unlike Taylor, he's not much of an attention seeker.

via www.aceshowbiz.com
NUMBER 3
PHARRELL
There were many things about Pharrell that rocked our world last night. First moment to remember was when he walked on stage and discussed the awkwardness of the situation Anna Kendrick style (who btw looked AMAZE in a tux). Also, I can't get those sparkly yellow shoes out of my head. He is officially my new style icon.

via www.musique.jeuxactu.com
NUMBER 2
Madonna's Outfit
We all know Madonna is trying to make Madonna happen, but last night's matador look was only further proof of this undeniable reality. Nobody needed to see your behind, Madodo. Is she even relevant anymore? Let's discuss.

via www.billboard.com
NUMBER 1
Of course, the best part of the night was when Kanye almost hopped on stage to defend Beyonce's cause after Beck took the award for Album of the Year. I wonder if Kim is jealous of her man's fierce loyalty to Queen Bey?

via www.standard.co.uk
If you missed any of these mind boggling moments, you can always catch up online. If not, you didn't really miss much.

XOXO,

Bella

#IconCity: Eyes On Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller is the epitome of London cool (aside from Kate Moss, of course). Everything she wears from the Oscars to the lively streets of London is enviable and effortless. Fearless when it comes to fashion risks, this woman always lands herself on a Red Carpet list and whether as best dressed or worst dressed, but she is consistently someone worth talking about. Aside from her impeccable sense of style, Sienna is also a talented actress whose versatility has not gone unnoticed. For those qualities that she embodies, Sienna proves that she belongs in IconCity.

Here are some of her best looks:

LOOK 1
Downtown cool is Sienna's middle name. Who else looks better in boyfriend jeans and a blazer? Nobody. That's your answer.
via whowhatwear.com
LOOK 2
Who loves a fluff more than I do? Apparently, Sienna Miller. She rocks this look like it's nobody's business.
via refinery29.com
LOOK 3
Occasionally, Sienna opts for the angelic look and of course, she does it like a pro. Who else can't get enough of that braid?
via whowhatwear.com
LOOK 4
Who knew an elegant white gown could go so well with a studded leather jacket? Sienna was made for this Met Gala theme and her hair is to die for.
via whowhatwear.com
LOOK 5
Finally, this is one of my favourite dresses she has ever worn. Everything about this glittery gown is breathtaking.
via dailymail.co.uk
Which look do you like best? Is Sienna one of your icons?

Ponder It,

XOXO,

Bella
