Welcome to the first installment of Musette Best Dressed. The It-Girls featured in this inaugural Top 10 embody individuality, and have spot-on style instincts. Whether they serve as muse or master, light up the big screen or catwalk, they all share the title of Bright Young Thing for their ability to exude beauty and set global trends.
NATALIA VODIANOVA
She is the oldest of the bunch, and in terms of fashion, perhaps the wisest. Natalia Vodianova has been the face of Calvin Klein for several, beautiful years, and beyond that the industry has been very kind to her. However, Musette loves Natalia the most when she is herself-at events, backstage or on the go, she is able to bring the meaning of chic to a new level. As the yummiest of mummies, her British aristocrat husband sure is one lucky fellow.
CLEMENCE POESY
The French have a reputation for getting it right on the fashion front, and this new beauty on the scene is no exception. Karl Lagerfeld has fallen for her, and the Sartorialist loves to snap her-we can expect many exciting style statements from newcomer Clemence Poesy. With a breakout performance in, go figure,
Harry Potter, Poesy has left Musette wanting more, more, more.
CAMILLA BELLE
She literally was the Belle of the ball at last year's CFDA gala at the Met. As
Teen Vogue's Style Blogger Kimball Hastings stood proudly on the sidelines he agreed along with the mass of ultra chic attendants that a style star was born. Hastings discovered the glittering Gaultier Paris Haute Couture gown and knew Camilla Belle was the best to pull it off. With her striking features and petite frame, Camilla has yet to make any fashion faux pas', consistently stealing the show at any high profile event.
CHLOE SEVIGNY
Just when you think she can't get any cooler she goes and does it again, with an even better fashion statement. Oh, Chloe Sevigny how hip can one gal be? Sevigny can be seen pulling off either couture or jeans and a tee equally well, proving the fact that her clothing choices are as well thought out as her career moves. Chloe's creative cool is complimented by her distinct features and enviable blond waves. Here's one celeb whose turn as fashion designer, (for Opening Ceremony) is warmly welcomed.
JULIA RESTOIN-ROITFELD
OK, so she has a bit of an upper hand with Carine Roitfeld, editor of
French Vogue as a mother, but Julia Restoin-Roitfeld still deserves mega fashion praise. With an eye for finding sophisticated yet youthful looks, it's no wonder Tom Ford chose her to endorse
Black Orchid. Julia puts her fellow socialites to shame with her fashion forward vision that is commonly displayed in girly frocks, red lips and killer heels.
KIRSTEN DUNST
Like the move from Jake to Johnny,
Jumanji to
Spiderman, Kirsten Dunst moved from total teeny-bopper to hot hipster with ease and grace. Realising that modesty is often the best policy, this screen siren is able to make an otherwise frumpy get-up appear sexy and daring. Dunst has turned out many memorable red carpet gowns, and her more casual looks always seem to be a perfect combination of femininity mixed with a touch of rock & roll.
CHARLOTTE CASIRAGHI
Musette would curtsy to Charlotte Casiraghi any day, not because of her Princess mother, but because of her high status as fashion royalty. Karl Lagerfeld is a fan, and her photo appears in many a fashion mag, but this BYT's fortunate facial features are not the only reason. Charlotte knows how to exude a classic chicness that is also fun and modern. Unafraid to run around in micro-minis and teeny-weeny bikinis, or glam it up at night, Char will always be royal in our eyes.
GEMMA WARD
Flawless, and ridiculously tall, Gemma Ward knows how to work a look. Maybe it is her vast experience on the runway, but Ward effortlessly makes a look her own, be it red carpet formality, or casual street style. This super, supermodel has become a style icon not simply because of her many magazine covers and copious campaigns, but also because of her knowledge of what to wear, and when to wear it.
ASHLEY OLSEN
Who would have thought the
Full House twins would make it this far. Sometimes it is hard to believe that the Tween Queens are fully fledged style stars in their own right. Ashley Olsen's itty bitty build allows any garment to shine, anything she dons is immediately cool. Possessing an elegance that most starletts take years to perfect, Ashley is able to put together timeless pieces and give them an unforgettable edge. P.S. Don't worry MK fans, there are more top ten lists to come!
MARGHERITA MISSONI
As granddaughter of the founders of Missoni, Margherita uses her status as fashion heiress very well. As a fixture on the New York social scene, Margherita can be spotted partying in anything from classic shifts to embellished gowns. With her trademark olive skin and long brown hair, MM has established herself as an independent style icon, while still doing her family name proud.
While others go through their awkward years accompanied by braces, blemishes and a crippling lack of confidence, Brooke Shields managed to gracefully transition from Pretty Baby to Calvin Klein's leading lady in one bat of a perfectly curled eyelash.
She was the eighties teen queen. With an iconic blockbuster under her belt and the country's leading fashion designer on her side, Brooke's overbearing mother and widely scrutinised virginity couldn't have been so bad, right? From the barely-there beach get-ups and unkempt ocean hair she donned in 1980's The Blue Lagoon, to her breathless claim that nothing gets between her and her Calvin's in the jeans campaign of the same year, teenage girls of the time had every reason to want to be Brooke Shields.
Forget the early 80's, today girls continue to have reason to idolise Brooke's muse worthy charm. She was a vision of innocence and an arresting symbol of the time, so channel your inner Brooke Shields by growing out your eyebrows, getting out the hair curlers, and opting for super high-cut one piece swimsuits...Actually maybe some looks are best kept in the eighties.
That being said, Musette will always love Brooke Shields.
