#IconCity: The Other Olsen

For many years, Elizabeth Olson lay in the shadows of her two famous fashion designer/actress/child star sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley. Those days are now gone as she begins to show her face on magazine covers such as Fashion and NYLON and in major films like Avengers and Godzilla. While she's mostly known for her rising success on the big screen, people are starting to take notice of her bohemian chic style, one that tends to stand out from the rest of the Hollywood crowd. In honor of her unique fashion sense, Elizabeth Olson joins her sisters in Icon City.

Here are five of her best looks.

#IconCity: Why I Want To Be Louise Roe

Another woman known to be for being an impeccably dressed talk-show host, Louise Roe lands herself in Icon City hand in hand with Giuliana Rancic. I want to be her not only because she is a fashion journalist, but also because she's British and never wears a print I don't love. Her Red Carpet appearance are consistently beautiful and notable on the best-dressed lists. Even off duty, this woman knows how to dress to the nines.

Here are five of her best looks.

LOOK 1
If anyone knows how to pull off printed pants, it's Louise Roe. Her bold colour-blocked shoes and clutch complete this put-together look.

LOOK 4
If there's one trend I'm obsessed with it's baggy leather pants. Roe wears them effortlessly with a long coral blazer, printed blouse, and stilettos. I'm in love.
via zimbio.com

Nobody could have seen this outfit coming. Like a true fashionista, Louise Roe combines colours like no one else. Yellow, pink, and red? Who would've thought?

#IconCity: The Effortless Giuliana Rancic

At every Red Carpet Event, we zero in on our favourite celebrities to mentally determine whether they fall under the category of best or worst dressed. Occasionally, a non-performer catches our attention because their fashion sense tops them all. Allow me to introduce the lovely Giuliana Rancic. She may just be a host on Fashion Police and E!, but she earned this spot in Icon City due to her spot on taste and consistent sartorial choices. Giuliana is known for taking fashion risks and wearing striking gowns by lesser known designers at the hottest Red Carpet events. Even off duty, she is always dressed to perfection.

Here are five of her best looks:

LOOK 1
Giuliana Rancic looks like the image of femininity in this flared Tony Ward dress. The retro waves complete this 50s glam look.
via instyle.com
LOOK 2
Giuliana loves herself a little red dress. She is one of the few people who can look sexy and adorable with one outfit.
via eonline.com
LOOK 3
While black may be a traditional and uninteresting choice for most, on Giuliana, it has that wow factor. With that breathtaking updo, she's the Red Carpet queen.
via dailymail.co.uk
LOOK 4
Giuliana goes full out girly in a Maria Lucia Hohan baby pink dress. The silhouette is fresh and feminine and only suitable for a princess.
via eonline.com
LOOK 5
My favourite look from Giuliana? This red Mireille Dagher dress with floral appliques that she wore at this year's Oscars. Can you say fashion vixen?

#IconCity: The Unavoidable Truth About Olivia Palermo's Style

Olivia Palermo may have played the bitch counterpart to Whitney Port on The City, but she remains one of the most stylish women in the fashion industry. Known for experimenting with bold colours and prints, Palermo can do no wrong when it comes to fashion and consistently remains on everyone's best-dressed lists. For always keeping it classy, taking risks, and having a killer shoe closet, Olivia Palermo has just landed in IconCity and even if you don't like it, you know you're dying to own every single thing she wears.

Here are some of her best looks:

LOOK 1
Palermo looks classy as ever in black shades and a flared Little White Dress with a stunning statement necklace. But the best part about her look would have to be that floral print Dior handbag which takes her from simply classy to a daring fashionista. 
via whowhatwear.com
LOOK 2
Let's talk about everything that's going on in this look that should appear busy, but on Olivia, looks effortless. From the fluffy trim of her jacket to a pair of floral skinnies combined with striking leopard print shoes, her ability to mix and match is overwhelming. Add a burnt orange handbag to the mix and you know you're dealing with a pro.
via nadyana.com
LOOK 3
Speaking of mix and match, Olivia also happens to be very good at juxtaposing the sleek and the playful by combining furry Fendi shoes and a fur trim hood with her sophisticated pink handbag.What lies underneath? Printed black and white up top and on the bottom. Somehow she makes it all come together like artwork and we couldn't be more envious of her skills.
via instyle.com
LOOK 4
Are you as obsessed with this colour as I am? Did you just recently become obsessed after seeing Olivia pull it off? Thought so. With a killer snakeskin handbag and sexy nude stilettos, this girl is ready for fashion week.

Google Olivia Palermo and chances are you will spot her wearing this sunshine yellow hue on a number of outfits. It seems to be her favourite colour and with reason. Palermo rocks this yellow dress with an unexpected splash of Barbie pink and leopard print high heels.

#IconCity: Who Else Misses Andie Anderson?

In case you didn't catch the reference in the title, I was talking about Kate Hudson's character in the film, How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days, one of my all time favourites. Kate Hudson is one of those celebrities known for her enviable blond hair rather than her sense of style and few recognize just how iconic it is. Every time we see Kate on the Red Carpet, she is dressed to perfection. Perhaps this is simply because she has Rachel Zoe as her stylist, but she also has great taste and it's worth noting that she gets it right at every event. For her role in How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days, Almost Famous, and on hit television series, Glee, she deserves to be a member of Icon City amongst the fashionable elite. Let's not forget to mention that charm we simply can't get enough of.

Here are some of her best looks:

LOOK 1
Kate Hudson stopped street lights in this Gucci dress that fit her like a glove. Understated elegance is her signature and she always does it with grace and poise.
via popsugar.com
LOOK 2
Kate looks beyond adorable in a white mini skirt and a yellow blouse that compliments her blond hair. With that high bun and those stilettos, she is the image of perfection.
via popsguar.com
LOOK 3
Who else looks this good in high-waisted printed palazzo pants? Nobody, that's who. Kate pulls it off effortlessly with a white lace crop top.
via wwd.com
LOOK 4
Nobody does retro glamour quite like Kate Hudson. This woman knows which colours suit her best and the proof is how stunning she looks in a baby blue strapless Reem Acra gown.
via instyle.com
LOOK 5
 My all time favourite Kate Hudson look? That time she wore Atelier Versace at the 2014 Oscars. Nothing beats that back.

#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.

Which look do you like best? Is Sienna one of your icons?

#IconCity: Feeling British With Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung belongs in IconCity because it is undeniable that she has become a fashion icon. Representing British hipster style, the girl always stays true to herself no matter what she's wearing. After her recent collaboration with AG denim, we can finally consider her the queen of the Canadian tuxedo. For her quirky sense of humour and quirky style to match, we can't get enough of her.

Here are some of her best looks:

LOOK 1
Nobody does the casual cool look quite like Alexa. Adding a wide rim burgundy fedora to her edgy outfit, we're all envious of her effortless style.
via www.vogue.co.uk
LOOK 2
Once again, Alexa looks totally boho chic in a floppy hat. With a turquoise fur coat and girly ballet flats, she keeps her look feminine and sophisticated.
via www.vogue.co.uk
LOOK 3
Queen of femininity, Alexa wears a flared skirt, peter pan collar, and some bow flats on a casual day out.
via on-thestreets.tumblr.com
LOOK 4
Though she is known for her adorable flats, Alexa also knows how to rock a heel. In these shiny black booties, sequinned midi skirt, and textured white peasant blouse, she proves that she knows how to mix and match. She also knows that the best accessory to any look is a Chanel clutch.
via www.instyle.co.uk
LOOK 5
Nobody rocks a pair of denim overalls like Alexa Chung. In fact, if it were a contest, she would win every time.

#IconCity: Naomi Campbell. Duh.

If anyone in the entire fashion stratosphere deserves icon status, it is the queen of the runway, Naomi Campbell. Not only was she one of the top supermodels of the 90's, but she continues to model today on the DVF runway and runs her own show, The Face. Let's not forget to mention her most recent ad campaign for Burberry with the successor to the Campbell throne, Jourdan Dunn. Another thing she does incredibly well? Style. Every outfit she wears is pure gold. Here is proof.

Take a look at five of her best looks.

LOOK 1
This Alexander McQueen dress is so darn cute, it makes Naomi look adorable, yet somehow, still fierce. Love the way she rocks those booties as well. Are you as envious of that body as I am?
via Harper's Bazaar
LOOK 2
Naomi may look great in an LBD, but she looks even better in an LWD. Sweet with this ruffled Alaia dress, but spicy with those lace-up booties, she creates a killer combination in one look.
via Harper's Bazaar
LOOK 3
Nothing says Naomi Campbell like a leopard print and she does it without looking tacky. Queen of the flared mini dress, Naomi rocks our world once again.
via Zimbio
LOOK 4
Once again, Naomi Campbell wore an animal print and looked amazing while doing it. She wears a structured dress like no other and it fits like a glove.
via The Cut
LOOK 5
You put Naomi Campbell in a gown and you cannot expect anything less than perfection. This is a mermaid fresh out of water and ready for a glistening red carpet in navy velvet.
