SOME OF MY TOP STYLE ICONS & HOW THEY'VE INFLUENCED MY STYLE

[@carolinalopez3648]

Thank you for including SELENA in this icons. As Latina myself I’m very happy that our roots is something that makes us proud, because most of Us love color in our wardrobe.🥰🧣👠👗

[@arelidelong1188]

I'm a Latina too and I agree with you. We live close to the city where Selena lived and two years ago we visited the Selena's museum. Her Dad and Sister were there and her Sister stoped to talk to my husband and pet our little Chihuahua dog. She was very kind and sweet. My daughter and I cry looking at Selena's clothing and belonings. Is still hard to know that her young beautiful life was cut short for no reason!

[@garlicgirl3149]

I like Audrey discovered her right before she died. I was so upset because I had plans to see her sing! I agree her smile was a great asset we women need to realize is the best thing to wear... a smile.

[@MariyaPrytula]

anything for Selenas!

[@juliea.]

As a Queens girl myself, I loved Fran Drescher on The Nanny. I had the same coloring and I felt like she made dark hair, fair skin, and red lips pretty as I lived in a world obsessed with suntans and blonde hair. She really is a modern-day Lucille Ball. Her facial expressions and body language was very Lucy-like.

[@serena7261]

I saw Fran Drescher and couldn't click fast enough! So many wonderful women, you included!

[@virginiaescalera2419]

Yes ! Jenny Cavilleri...forever and ever and ever !

[@teck1a]

Lol me too!

[@rhonnelsimms6550]

I grew up watching “The Nanny” and I loved Fran’s style. I do this…I will watch retro movies-and even tv shows-for style inspired. Also, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” This next one might be a diff. choice, and I am not into horror movies, but the wife in “Jaws.”

Hi Audrey, Yesterday, I receieved about 15 compliments on my outfit and short hairstyle the whole day while I was out and it's only because you have inspired my style. ♡

[@Frandallina]

I also saw Fran Drescher and couldn't click fast enough! I discovered The Nanny years after it aired because much of my adult life, I didn't have a TV (I'm 65). My sister sent me the entire series on DVD and I wore them out, literally! I think back on many a scene (which I know by ❤) and laugh out loud- very helpful in pandemic depression moments! Anyhoo, this video really made me think about Lauren Bacall as my style icon influence. I am going to start looking up her movies to get more ideas for my style and see what develops. Thank you for thinking up this theme for fashion help! 💖

[@agnesdp1855]

Spanning decades, my style icons would be Ingrid Bergman (the no-nonsense, make-up free style in several movies), Katherine Hepburn (comfort, trousers and wit) Marisa Berenson (for the long curly hair) and Cate Blanchett (for the coloring). Loved your video!

[@thaliawilliams1498]

Great video! I would love to see you discuss the fashion in the Queen’s Gambit, Audrey. I’m certain you would love the styles. I would wear anything from the last 3 or so episodes in a heartbeat. The clothes have that perfect classic mod look, just so beautiful!

[@soleil25mm]

I thought the outfits she wore in that series were timeless! Would wear it easily too

Audrey, omg, I used to hate the sweater style you're wearing here, mockneck, ribbing, royal blue saturated color.... but it looks so gorgeous on you! Once again, you've opened my eyes that body structure, color palette and styling is everything when it comes to a piece of garment. Thank you so much for your hard work on this channel!

[@lianelevy7888]

Audrey Hepburn has influenced so many of us. She's definitely one of my style icons, but most my others are icons of the 80s and 90s: Winona Ryder, Princess Diana, Jennifer Grey. I think they all did elevated casual very well, and that's my sweet spot.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

This was such a great video, Audrey. I had the pleasure of meeting Ali McGraw several times as she was a regular customer at London Sole. She is very elegant and gracious in person too. I love her style and how it changed when she moved to New Mexico. Lots of love! xx

[@schneeroseful]

I always loved the Hitchcock-Heroine chic.

[@r.l.stroud9633]

Me too, partly because Hitchcock liked women who had coloring closer to my own.

I'm learning a lot watching your videos. I also love your voice. It's relaxing!

[@dori1425]

I completely forgot another favorite Star style influencer for me was the character Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) she was a major influencer ( at that time I was 33) and noticed that woman at a certain age can still dress beautiful. Her style was elegant and classic. Her leather classic handbags, silk scarfs, cashmere sweaters, silk blouses, and tailored shirts. Gorgeous and elegant. Can you please include senior woman styles, that would truly be appreciated because every woman deserves to feel pretty no matter how old she is and eventually we will all cross that bridge.

[@labornurse]

Ah yes, "Murder, She Wrote"

[@tdexter4959]

What a great suggestion. As a Gen-Xer, I knew her first as an older actress. She definitely had good style in MSW. (I wish more women dressed like that today.) But years later, I was positively floored when I discovered her ability to pull off full-tilt glamour in The World of Henry Orient - not my favorite movie, but her wardrobe in it is amazing. She's just one of those people with enormous artistic range, which shows up in her choice of roles, as well as her fashion.

[@FreckledFoxx]

Yes! Angela Lansbury is a treasure and her whole Murder, She Wrote wardobe is 100% how I'd love to look in that phase of life.

[@NM-yc5kt]

Clair Huxtable from The Cosby show!

[@r.l.stroud9633]

And what a gorgeous wardrobe she had!

[@tdexter4959]

As a white girl who grew up watching The Cosby Show, I always loved her style. Just a day or two ago, I was thinking about my lackluster wardrobe and one of her outfits came to mind. It was a 'What-would-Clair-wear?' moment. She was a role model in many ways.

[@Vic82toire]

Oh yes! There's a bronze silky blouse that Clair has worn that I've been on the hunt for.

[@latinaalma1947]

About YOUR style....you are so fine boned, your speaking voice is so soft, delicate, melodic and soprano, and your personality is so positive and your hair so airy and curly the first impression you make is ethereal. THe traditional definition of an ethereal type is tall, winsome, graceful, usually very light, almost white blonde , with light blue or grey eyes, nearly transparent white skin, a soft delicate floaty voice and personality reminding people of angels in the classic sense. Yet here you are, not tall, dark hair and eyes but with ALL the other characteristics of that type. I wonder how floaty fabrics would work on you, maybe in skirts, dresses and blouses...maybe in the burgundy and bottle green or navy to go with your coloring and that you love...you could marry these with your classic blazers. Something light and airy about each outfit might hint at your personality and echo your voice, hair, and graceful movement. It would give you a sparkle of individuality in your clothing to mirror your personality and demeanor, your delicacy. As my grandmother told me, play to your strengths in fashion and in life, that was great advice that propelled me forward. Abrazos!

[@lisag.6599]

I really enjoyed this, Audrey! As for the elusive red dress, it might not be so expensive to just have your tailor make it up for you.

[@1942rita]

I love your blog. We have very different styles, but I recognize your good taste and style. You must have the red dress made. I often get custom clothes. You can too. I’m sure there are seamstresses in your town or nearby city-you deserve your red dress. Let us know once you get your dress. Women should not fear bespoke clothing. My mother didn’t buy much, maybe 4 items a year, but they were high quality. She would buy a suit or a dress and go across the street from Nordstrom Best in Seattle where there was a shop that only did custom buttons and trim. I remember she had white grosgrain ribbon trim added to the collar, cuffs and pockets of a navy dress. Then she had the buttons replaced. I use Etsy for custom wear. The measurements include back of neck through crotch to shoulder blade, even upper, elbow circumference as well as underarm to waist and wrist. So many other measurements for different articles-pants, shorts, skirts, blouses all have separate measurements for the best fit. Three weeks later the item arrives. Only twice have I been unsatisfied and each shop accepted return for refund, even though it was made to order.

[@irairod5160]

I agree. The pattern for the style is not too complex, so a good seamstress would be able to copy it exactly. Buy a good amount of red silk charmeuse...voila!

[@denisehester5767]

Royal blue on you looks amazing! Truly a deep winter color and SO flattering on you.

[@KerraBolton]

What a fabulous video! Thank you for sharing. I've always known who my style icons were. However, I never paused to reflect until watching your video on how they influence my personal style and what they have in common. My style icons: Jackie Kennedy Onassis (Late 1960's to Mid 1970's); Maria Callas (me too!); Grace Kelly (During the 1970s); Kerry Washington (beauty/make-up looks/skin twin); Solange (color palette and soft architecture of her clothes); and Victoria Beckham (simple shapes, neutrals, and pops of color); and Angelina Jolie (classic style on a Flamboyant/Soft Natural body).

[@danarzechula3769]

Ah yes Grace Kelly classic simple elegance

[@mariaoleary9384]

As a teen watching Mary Tyler Moore portray an independent young working woman was pivotal in directing my style. Her wardrobe, hair, and makeup were wonderfully chic and on trend, yet always classic, well-tailored, wearable, and accessible. Nothing was overdone. MTM may have influenced a generation of working women.

[@katherinec9197]

Ahhhhhh! I LOVED What's Up Doc so so much. I grew up in the seventies and went to see it every time it came to town (no videos or streaming in the seventies ha ha). This was a fun video Audrey! For fashion fun, a recent show I've enjoyed is Indian Summers on PBS Masterpiece. I think you'd love it.

[@nataliefbehler]

The 2005 Pride and Prejudice is my go to feel-good movie! Thank you so much for sharing. It was so nice to see you so excited about your different icons. Rose from Titanic really impacted me as a child. Just that soft but intense look that matched her character so well.

[@lisarhoades965]

What a lovely video. Your fashion influences come from such a wonderful palette of women. What an absolute joy to watch. My fictional character, fashion influencer is Rene Russo's "Catherine Banning" in The Thomas Crown Affair. Every outfit played into the scene as if it was a cast member itself. And how many women could maintain class and pull of wearing that daring sheath at the Black and White Ball? Stunning. And speaking of stunning, Amal Clooney in anything and everything!

I'm obviously much older than most of your readers, but Doris Day was the epitome of a classy, yet spunky female in the early 60's! Loved all her suits/dresses, shoes, and then Sandra Dee. After that, it was Dusty Springfield and Cilla Black - now it's Nicole Kidman - but always, always, always - Audrey Hepburn

[@l.l.lekens6610]

Love your video. My style icons are Françoise Hardy, Juliette Binoche, Catherine Deneuve, Claire Chazal, Inès de la Fressange and Diane Keaton. Ali Mc Graw haș aged gracefully and has a very personal dramatic style.

[@laceyh]

I really love the way you conceptualize style inspiration. I have so many style icons who I don't have similar body types to or even identical styles, but there's just something about the way they dress or some facet of the aesthetic that is so influential to me. Lindsay Wagner in The Paper Chase and Ali Macgraw in A Love Story are both major 70s preppy/collegiate inspiration for me. I draw my makeup inspiration from the young girl in The Lover (she's so glowy and fresh!), Carolyn Bessette Kennedy (when we're not wearing masks, my go to look is extremely natural skin, a touch of mascara, and a red lip), and also Pride and Prejudice--fun coincidences there! I have a very different body type to you--I'm very tall and quite curvy--so we naturally have somewhat different dress senses, despite the fact that I think one of the reasons I love your channel so much is that our overall aesthetics aren't dissimilar, but you've also become one of my style icons in the past few months! You have really helped me focus on figuring out what colors, silhouettes and styles make me feel amazing and help me express my personal style. And I've saved so much money not constantly trying to buy cheap clothes that never quite suit me and fall apart quickly!

[@karensetchfield3495]

Kim Novak in the film Bell, Book and Candle - early 1950’s I think. She played a witch but an incredibly cool, glamorous one. She wore a lot of black and red including a black turtleneck and a very stylish black cape which would look fabulous today. There are other films from that era with a similar vibe. It’s not rock and roll 1950’s. There are still elements of the glamorous side of the 1940’s which were more feminine and elegant. Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief also. I think she epitomised that style.

[@latinaalma1947]

Audrey, this was wonderful. The first time I saw you I realized you wore Preppy clothing. It was the first adult clothing I wore too because I lived in Boston then after growing up in Texas. Texas clothing just didnt work in Boston either for climate or fashion. Classic clothing was my entire wardrobe during my academic career. THen THAT didnt work in early retirement sailing the Caribbean for ten years. Now after fifteen years in Latin America living in coffee finca country, with an elegant Spanish colonial town nearby, I am back full circle to Texas clothing and British/American classic tweed blazers, sweaters mixed with slacks and loafers or jeans and my cowboy or riding boots most fall/winter days.I also like to pair my blazers with denim and silky midi skirts with boots. I like a Ralph Lauren style mixture of western wear, suede or leather blazers or jackets with skirts, jeans and trousers. Sometimes I wear a lace jabot, or a velvet scarf at the neck, even satin blouses mixed it....very RL country style which I love and fits my lifestyle now. I adore my Stetson all weather felt hat in moss green and my finely woven cream Panama hat from Ecuador. They are SO me!

[@TheTikimel]

I had never really thought about movie/tv being a source of style inspiration, but now that you've mentioned it I can see so many references to my own style and how connected it is to favorite fictional characters. My love of earthy tones and utilitarian pieces definitely came from my obsession with Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I see lots of musicians reflected in my style, too. Great video, Audrey!

[@xjulesiscools89]

I loved this! I never really thought about sitting down and pinpointing who has really influenced my style and why. I love to journal so I think I'm definitely going to use this as a sort of prompt! And I will say, I have to whole-heartedly agree about Audrey Hepburn. Something about her and her style is just timeless. Edit: Is it strange that I think my father has had the biggest influence over my wardrobe? I've always loved his blazers, leather jackets, oxfords or wingtips, and his loafers. He always looks so effortlessly put together, and I think I try to emulate a lot of that in my own style, even down to owning many pairs of the same things I listed. Thought that it might be an interesting addition to the conversation, because I didn't realize it until I really started to think about it.

[@hirorop5367]

YOU are my style icon Audrey. I love everyone you featured. Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite movies of all time! I can watch it again and again. And now I have a bigger excuse to watch it even more, to focus on the fashion 🙌 I adored Caroline Bingley’s dresses and Georgina Darcy’s dress too! One of my new favorite movies for Fashion Influence is Crazy Rich Asians! Astrid and Ariminta’s wardrobe is incredible!

I loved this video Audrey. I love fashion but really hadn’t thought much about who my style icons are. As I get older I lm leaning towards more classic styles but I also have a bohemian side. I’m only 5’2” but curvy/hourglass so I find it hard to find someone to look to. I do love some of the styles from the 40’s and 50’s as they seem to fit my body type a little better. Now that I’ve let my hair go gray I’m always looking for style ides that are classic yet still fun/ modern but not too young or too matronly. This was a fun video and definitely got me thinking.

Audrey, as others have mentioned in the comments, YOU are one of my style icons! You as well as other style icons I have admired take a classic style and add it with an updated twist accompanied with ‘good grooming’. When I was very young, looking at a Life magazine, I loved a beautiful picture of Princess Caroline of Monaco wearing a crisp white shirt with faded blue jeans and she had her loose long wavy hair worn with simple gold hoops. With her olive toned skin and glowing cheeks to me that was everything! Depending on the occasion and my ‘mood’ my style icons are Audrey Hepburn, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Princess Diana, Meghan (Duchess of Sussex) , Jennifer Anniston , and Amal Clooney to name a few.

Loved this video Audrey - I have never thought of who my style icons are and it is only in the past year that I have truly begun to define my sense of style - you have been my greatest influencer! - I have learned so much - thank you

Omgsh! I loved seeing your style icons next to you - there are such huge similarities! I was so struck by the similarity between you and Rosamund Pike's character in Pride and Prejudice - I always loved her look in that as well, and you look so similar!

My personal style icons are all rock stars. Stevie Nicks, Nancy wilson, Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix are some of my favorites!

I loved all your style icons. Who doesn't love Audrey Hepburn. Her style is enduring. I am probably your mother's age, because I saw Love Story when it first came out, when I was in high school. Everyone loved Ali McGraw's character's style. We were all dressing like that anyway. Everyone wore her knit hat, including myself. Since I was born in Cambridge and grew up in Watertown (the next town over) everyone of my friends went to see this movie because of all the places we all recognized. I love Rene Russo's style in The Thomas Crown affair. I actually bought that rust colored long jacket to wear over black trousers and turtle neck. I like a lot of Kate Middleton's style, except her print dresses. I also like Megan Markle's style. When I watch movies, I do pay attention to the way the characters dress, too.

P and P, not just the literature. I agree with you Audrey. It's the hair, clothing and houses. All yes!!!

You seemed so happy during this video, and your family and life sound absolutely wonderful and filled with intention. The first style icons I can remember (and I know this is not a specific person) were European-inspired when I was a little girl. My best friend was Italian and she and her mother and sister just had the most wonderful sense of style, I am still inspired by her (even though we are no longer friends). The classy and simple yet beautiful European style has always seemed so incredible, and I just wish I knew how to channel that earlier in my life (I can't even look at photos of myself from a few years ago because I am so upset and scared at how terrible I looked). The first tangible person who inspired my style was Freddy Cousin-Brown. While her style has changed a lot since 2015 and I no longer relate to it, I again love how European and classic it was. She introduced me to so many of the brands I love today, especially my ultimate favorite Ted Baker. She ignited my love for Victorian-era white blouses, but I also did ballet when I was younger and have always loved incorporating it into my personal style, especially as the art is such a big part of who I am today, even though I can no longer dance due to an injury. My latest influences have been very very classic and business-casual/professional-looking pieces. I absolutely adore black jeans/trousers with black flats or black Chelsea boots and a blouse or jumper. My color pallet is very neutral and timeless, and I have been really inspired to dress in a classier way. Audrey, you have really inspired me since I found your channel a few months ago to refine my style and be even more intentional about what I wear. It's been amazing how truly happy I am with my wardrobe now, which has made me even happier with myself in general. I am forever grateful for your top-quality videos, classy and delicate essence (I really see myself in you, which is even more special), and absolutely classy and timeless and intentional style. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do. ♡
