What celeb would you classify as having a timeless or classic style? I need different looks to put together but im having trouble finding examples lol. I see tons of celebs that pull off looks such as glam, bohemian, punk/rocker, 80's, etc. but where are the celebs with the clean, preppy, feminine classic style? The only person that came to mind was Charlotte York of SATC...other than that I've got nothing lol.

Okay, Not really a celeb, or a real person at all. But, what you're describing sounds like the charicter Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl, I completely adore her style. You can google image to see some of her outfits, but here are a few of my favorite.

Also, Queen Rania of Jordan Queen Rania of Jordan She has a very classic, timeless style.

Olivia Palermo, before she became well known (ie. before the city). Try gettyimages. Her style use to be very classic and feminine. It still is but she dresses more edgy/trendy now than she use to

Also Jennifer Aniston & Reese Witherspoon, have decently classic style. As does Angelina Jolie.

My favorite style inspiration is Queen Rania of Jordan.

Oh and i forgot, Ivanka & Melania Trump at times looks great as well. As does Georgina Chapman. (Marchesa designer)

*Another great tip is to look at how they style the clothes on Net-a-porter.com. Much of the time the models look very classic, elegant and feminine.

Perhaps Audrey Hepburn? I adore her and her style.

tillie46 · Oct 24th, 2009, 09:15 PM

I agree with flashy.stems........Victoria Beckham has a great sense of style!

burberryprncess · Oct 24th, 2009, 09:24 PM

When I think classic style, I think Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly.

Etincelle · Oct 24th, 2009, 09:26 PM

Miroslava Duma, Jennifer Aniston, Blair Waldorf and Lily Bass from Gossip Girl. And for the icons: Audrey Hepburn and Lady Diana

Bitten · Oct 25th, 2009, 01:54 AM

Queen Rania definitely - also Victoria Beckham and Cate Blanchett.

I also completely agree with Queen Rania - as soon as I saw this thread she was the first person who came into my mind! She has DIVINE style

KristyDarling · Oct 25th, 2009, 03:08 PM

I think Reese Witherspoon dresses in a classic, feminine, preppy way. It totally suits her!

mdlcal28 · Oct 25th, 2009, 05:05 PM

I think of Diane Keaton. Sassy and classy

conrad18 · Oct 26th, 2009, 12:38 AM

Jennifer Anniston!

sammy deer · Oct 26th, 2009, 11:44 PM

Also, Renee Zellweger is definitly on her way to be a classic style inspiration. She's been dressing very feminine and old hollywoodish.
