I had the pleasure of meeting her, very briefly. I fell in love with her. What a charming, iconic, charismatic person she was.

Wow! I can imagine, that episode of Nevermind the Buzzcocks that she was in will stick in my mind forever.

She's awesome, has a way of moving and speaking that is stylish too, or like stands out anyway. Big fan.

I am reviving this thread with:
1) Cate Blanchett in Tar. Not only looks amazing in every shot but also I'm grateful to see a woman who's got a softer/cooler colouring. Lately all the 'strong looks' feature women with dark/contrasting features that I can't draw much inspiration from -_- But the wardrobe of Tar is chefs kiss


2) Jodie Comer in Killing Eve. Yes, the pink organza dress, but also the trouser suit that she wore when she killed that guy early on in the series. Is she wearing combat boots with it? If so, it is a stroke of genius.



3) Talking of trouser suits, here's more Kate Bush (who's bound to appear repeatedly in this thread) in thick brown wool with a car salesman tie. I also love the low effort hair. This is what normcore could have looked like if people had a bit more imagination.



4) Is this Diane Keaton? It's Diane Keaton. To me, what's cool here is the popped collar and the scarf. Although in reality I find that it's very hard to wear a scarf that way because wind keeps trying to blow it off my shoulders. However, walking with hands in pockets and keeping it secured that way is an idea.



5) My final pick is a woman who's name I don't know but I guess style icons don't have to be just public figures? Either way, this is a suit but pirate-style. I think it's a cool idea and look how it's constructed: trousers tucked in boots, belt, unbuttoned white shirt, shaggy coat, hair, earrings. I'll just assume it's a fake fur for my purposes.

Kate Bush looks amazing.

If we're allowed to add women who look great in costume then I'm going to add Saoirse Ronan in Little Women. I would love to dress like this:

If we're allowed to add women who look great in costume

I think the line between costume and regular wear is blurry, and the more we blur it the more interesting the world is. So yes please

I was just thinking today about what an icon in every way, including style, Poly Styrene was

I know this won't be to everyone's taste but I LOVE what Rowetta of the Happy Mondays was wearing at Witney Music Festival recently and I so would wear this.
